The Johnsons sat at the front while The Woods sat at the back. The drive back home didn't seem to excite or worry Tyler. Brick Bros didn't either, even though the ending arouse laughter among the audience as John mistakely shot James' dog right in the head, which made the latter chase him with the broom(James didn't die when he was shot. He had survived with a bullet proof vest, much to John's shock). Jugsty and the Johnsons were thrilled and laughed as they recalled certain scenes they remembered.
     " Remember that scene where James thought he was followed and later discovered that it was his ex-girlfriend?", asked Mrs. Johnson to her husband.
     " Yes I do", answered Mr. Johnson," She kicked him right in the balls and spat on his face!".
     A round of laughter echoed as they entered the road that would soon lead them to the road linking to their street.
     " What about that time when John shook hands with Racket and got teazered?", asked Jugsty.
     They laughed it off and continued remembering the funny scenes of the movie. Tyler's mind was however somewhere else. After the strange hug and the pen returned to him later, he hadn't been himself again. The pen was in his right pocket, hidden from his sight. He touched his pocket with his right hand and felt the pen beneath. His eyes were on the window, gazing at the darkness that was constantly penetrated by different sources of light. He could not understand his own thoughts, for they were as twisted as Lara, having puzzles that weren't at all gonna be eazy to solve. They were more difficult than a Rubik's Cube and even far worse than Rubik's Revenge.
     His mind started playing tricks on him. Once he saw Lara again, standing on the sidewalk, shielding herself from the rain with an umbrella , staring at him as the car drove by. Then he would discover that it was just a girl waiting to catch a bus. He shivered with fright and weary eyes, wondering why he was allowing these things overwhelm him.
     " Tyler!", yelled Jugsty as he tapped on his shoulder. Tyler jolted from his thoughts, looked at him and tried to hide his expressions from him." Didn't you heard what Mrs. Johnson said?", he asked.
     " I'm sorry", apologized Tyler," What did she say?".
     " I asked whether you enjoyed the movie", replied Mrs. Johnson.
     " Oh it was great ma'am, and quiet funny", came the words of Tyler, which deceived the Johnsons but not Jugsty.

     The Johnsons dropped them off in front of their house and parked in their garrage. The Woods entered their home and turned on the lights. Jugsty made Tyler sit on the crouch beside him, and as Tyler had expected, the interrogations began.
     " What happened back there bro?", asked Jugsty.
     " Nothing", was Tyler reply.
     A frown flashed across Jugsty's face," Don't tell me that Tyler. What happened? Let me help you".
     Tyler sighed and looked away. This however didn't stop the interrogation.
     " Its about her isn't it?", asked Jugsty.
     The silence and a look at Jugsty from Tyler confirmed the obvious.
     " Now what really happened?", asked the concerned Jugsty.
     Tyler finally let the cat out of the bag," When I excuse myself to the bathroom", began Tyler," And after I was done, I found her staring at me outside the door. She hugged me again, gave me my pen and disappeared".
     " Must have been a trick of your mind bro. You must have been thinking of her".
     " No I wasn't Jugsty. Look, here's the pen", said Tyler as he pulled the pen out for Jugsty to see.
     " You lost the pen?".
     " Kindoff, back in school".
     " Listen here. I know that you've been careless over somethings, but never with this pen. Maybe she took it and then gave it back to you".
     " Or maybe I'm really that careless bro", said Tyler as he bowed his head in shame.
     " Hey don't be kiddo", replied Jugsty as he hugged him," Lets go to sleep okay? It's already getting late".
     " Okay Jugsty".
     While Jugsty left to his room and snored peaceably on his bed in his pyjamas, Tyler laid awake on his bed, worried. He constantly glanced at his pen on the working table in his room and finally got off from bed to inspect it. He emptied the contents of the pen and found a rectangular piece of paper rolled inside. He unrolled it and read the words with an exclaimation mark beside it," Help me!". Confused, he sat on a chair and wondered what the new girl really meant.
