Sarah's mom walked back over to the van and opened Ashley's door.
"Come on, girls." Her mom said as the girls got out.
"They will be here any minute."
The girls whipped out their backpacks they had stashed in the back seats for the trip and walked over to the hotel enterance. Ashley threw her bag down on the steps, and sat down. As Sarah's mom left with Sarah's bag out back to hide.
"Now what is she doing?" Ashley whispered in Sarah's ear as she sat down.
"She has the video camera." Sarah replied in a whisper. Ashley looked down at her watch. It was 7:50.
"Excuse me, do you know when they will show up?" Ashley asked the guard standing next to her.
"Well, about 8:00." He replied.
"Alright."
As 8:10pm came they were almost going to believe they were there, inside the building and had slipped past them, until Sarah looked around the corner. A big blue bus with a silver streak acrost rolled down the street turning into the hotel and parking at the side. Sarah and Ashley looked over at the bushes where they could just bearly see the blinking red light for the video camera. Sarah and Ashley got up and walked over to the bus.
"Come on you guys, get your things, we're here."
Walker said and grabbed his things. Diana, Jessica, Mackie, and Avery all got off the bus first. Mackie looked over at Ashley and Sarah with a smile.
"Hi." he said and waved.
"Hi." The girls replied and waved back. Diana looked over at the girls and reached out for Mackie's hand. Mackie ran over grabbing her hand and they walked inside. Walker stepped off holding a duffle bag in one hand and a sleeping baby girl wrapped in a white and pink blanket. Walker looked over at the girls and trew on a smile continuing to walk inside with Jessica.
"Zac, come on." Isaac said stepping off the bus. Zac ran down the bus steps and fallowed Isaac.
"Hi." Isaac said and waved.
"hi." Ashley replied as Taylor watching the ground as he stepped off the bus. Hearing Ashley's vice and remembering it he quickly looked up. Zac ran infront of Taylor making him unable to see who was talking.
"Hi, Taylor." Ashley said as he walked up the steps to the hotel. He waved turning his head again looking for her. The girls turned around and ran away just as Taylor found Ashley, only ketching a glimps of her as she ran behind the bus. Taylor quickly ran inside dropping off his stuff and darting back outside with Zac and Isaac fallowing. As Taylor reached the parking lot the white van pulled away as 2 girls jumpped inside and closing the sliding door. Taylor, Isaac, and Zac watched as it drove down the street.
"What?" Zac asked compleatly confused.
"That was her." Taylor replied pointing to where the car had just driven down.
"How do you know?" Isaac asked.
"Her voice." Taylor replied happly.
"So what are we standing out here for? We can't go after her." Zac said skrunching up his nose and knocking Taylor's hand down.
"Can we trace their car?" Taylor asked
"I didn't get the lience number."
"What! who cares about a licence number? How many white vans could there be with orange Hanson signs on their drivers side?!" Zac said loudly mocking Isaac.
"True. But it wouldn't matter. They didn't do anything." Taylor replied pitting his hands in his pockets.
"Hey, guys. Are you ok?" Walker asked stepping out of the hotel and onto the porch. The loby lights made the parking lot bright as Walker opened the door.
"Yeah." Taylor replied and they all walked back into the hotel.
