Dicks heart was racing he checked his bag it wasn't there. He looked down the hall, running almost made it to the door. No one. Not a sole. It was silent. He tried to remember if he heard anything in the bathroom, nothing. Fuck he said. He had 50$ in...

His last gulp of the ice coffee finished around 2, he had some of the game complete, maybe they'd give him 2.5 or something. This was worth like 30% of the final grade. So he could he thought get 100's on those. Then maybe he'd be fine. Or maybe the...
