"Weird."

After about two hours of thinking and three (and one on the way) bowls of popcorn, Nicah, Jasper, Almira and Joshua were stumped.

Almira came back with their FOURTH bowl and said, "Hey, isn't carlos' house a wreck? why would anyone want to have a party in a wreck? wouldn't someone get hurt or something?"

"Yeah!" Joshua answered. "Who'd be dumb enough to have a gathering in some place where someone could possibly fall to their deaths?"

"Hmmmmmm..." Said Nicah, "What about Naomi? She sounded like the girl kidnapped by 'Sly', and how could she possibly throw a party after being kidnapped?"

This was the enth time she asked this, and the things on Josh's notepad regarding this were...

1. Naomi does not know Nicah.
2. Nicah does not know anyone named Naomi.
3. Naomi sounded like someone familiar.
-Voice changer
-Plot twist oops.
-We got the wrong house. did anyone notice if the house looked bombed?
4. Naomi is Nicole familiar.
5. Who on earth is Sly?

As joshua was reviewing his notes, Nicah and Almira studying a map of carlos' vicinity and jasper pigging out on the popcorn, Jasper's Cellphone started bleeping. Jas picked it up and started talking (with a mouth full of popcorn) in a rapid mix of english, chinese and filipino. He suddenly looked surprised and spat out his popcorn.

"Cool!" was the last english word he said before hanging up. "Guys..."

"Yeah?" Asked the three.

"I'm going to Rio."

"Rio?"

"Yes, Rio de Janiero in Brazil as well as Sao Paulo and Brasilia. Jollibee is launching its first South American branches. I gotta go now, since we're leaving so soon that i only have few time to pack." With that he gave everyone a hug and bolted out the door after a beep-beep of a car horn.

"Take care Jazz!" Shouted Nicah.

Almira was about to clean the mess jasper made with the popcorn when suddenly Joshua jumped up and said,

"Guys! I think I got something!" With that he pulled out his laptop and accessed YM.
