"Jane Thompson was the only one to stick to the original plan and carry on the association.
After some of the students showed signs of brain-washing and aggresive behavior, Meredith Reeder and Linda Prince reported Jane Thompson for suspected child abuse. When officers arrived at the headquarters, however, Jane, her husband, Gary, and one of the select pupils, Sean Hunter, had disappeared.
It is believed that ABW is still functioning, however police have little evidence and no clues as to where it is functioning now." Rick finished reading the article to Sean.
"Now look," said Sean, "I can see why you think we're the bad guys, but they don't understand. This system can save the world. Last time Linda and Meredith screwed everything up, but if you'll join us we can change the world for the better. You are the person we've been looking for. You will lead us, you will help us unite the world to become one, cooperative nation. You will be our leader"
"Why did you bring a knife when you came to find me?"
"I was instructed to be prepared to use whatever forces necessary to show you the light" Sean said
"You're brain-washed Sean. Your thinking is messed up." Rick replied, "They've messed with your head, trust me"
"I'm not brain-washed." Sean said. His voice was mellow, and yet held incredible power and warning to it.
"Just trust me, I've done more research than this article," Rick said, holding up the paper. "ABW is messed up, you have to get away, they've messed you up enough"
"Put that away," Sean said, "and listen to me."
"The police are on their way" Rick said, pulling out his cell phone and waving it in the air. "Please, they've messed you up, you've never known anything different, if you act now, you won't be guilty."
At this, Sean pulled a knife out of his big cargo-pants pocket. It was the knife, the knife that had been in Rick's room. He stepped towards Rick and held up the knife. Rick reacted quickly, sweeping Sean's legs out from under him smashing his hand on the ground, forcing him to drop the knife.
Rick scooped up the knife and held it in his hand apprehensively.
"So what happens now?" Sean asked, on his feet now.
"We face each other as God intended to. Sportsmanlike," replied Rick, "no tricks, no weapons, skill against skill alone"
"You mean, you'll put down your rock, and I'll put down my sword, and we'll try to kill each other like civilized people?"
"I could kill you now," said Rick, brandishing the knife
Just kidding :-) Ok, back to, "Rick scooped up the knife and held it in his hand apprehensively."
Sean jumped up, and walked quickly towards Rick menacingly. Rick kicked Sean in the gut with all his might. As Sean keeled over Rick hit him in the chin with the heel of his hand as hard as he could.
Sean fell to the floor, unconscious.
Rick stood in disbelief for a moment. Cautiously he checked for a pulse and breathing, which he found with a sigh of relief. He then ran over to a desk in the corner of the room opening the drawers, looking for some rope or tape. He found some duct tape under a bunch of papers. He taped Sean up securely, using up the whole role to make sure he couldn't escape if he woke up.
The police arrived just a moment later. Rick explained what had happened, not mentioning the fact that his parents were oblivious to the situation. On the ride home Rick noticed something in his pocket. It was a wrinkled scrap of paper with scratchy handwriting on it.
You were the one.
-Sean
The End.

Wow! That is pretty intense! I just want to know, what was the plan that Sean and Jane had that they needed Rick for? What was Rick's purpose in the plan?
jordan, did you miss the whole idea that abw had? they wanted him to be the leader that would take over the world and live in the utopian society.
ohhhh, i think i got it. that's a pretty good story! i liked the part when you brought in the lines from the princess bride, hahahaha good job, now you can read my story that i started
"I do not envy you the headache you will have when you awake, but for now, sleep well and dream of large women." You missed that part.
Wow, what an ending. What a story!
Man, josh, you almost killed Sean. But ya I loved it. But I really wish that the BYU thing would let you write a longer story because I think you could've added a lot more stuff to make even more awesome but now you're going to have to shorten it. But even with how it is, I think you'll do great.
wow that was quite the story! The whole thing was great and i loved the ending! It's a bummer you have to shorten it. Still-good story!
