After Darryl and my arch-enemy got
out, wearing my hoodies, Beth started  
pushing me over, and finally up against
the other door.                        
     She gave me a hug and a kiss,     
"Thank you, Criminal."                 
     "Just remember your promise to    
never leave me."                       
     "I don't see how I could find     
anyone else to love as crazy as you,   
ever," Beth snuggled up to me a little 
closer.                                
     I pushed her away a little bit,   
"Hey! That part about me being crazy   
hasn't been proven yet, but you'll     
see."                                  
     I hope.                           
     We arrived at the security        
entrance, and the digital clock, on the
dashboard, turned to midnight at that  
* exact same second.                       
     “Your clock is ten minutes slow,” 
I told Pee Wee, trying to take my mind 
off what was coming next.              
     “I know,” he answered back, and   
that's when my heart started beating a 
little faster, and for a couple        
seconds, I was confused. I’d forgotten 
why we were here, and then everything  
clicked back into place, and I knew    
exactly what we had to do, and how we  
had to do it.                          
     I jumped out of the cab, and as   
Beth got out after me, I held my hand  
out for hers. She smiled, and then let 
me take it.                            
     We ran for the main entrance, and 
I pulled out my badge, but before I    
could use it, the door clicked open. I 
wondered about that for a second, while
holding the door, so Beth could go in  
first, and then saw Axel.
