“ Where do you think you are going , sir ?” Jake asked in fury . The man did not answer , and within a split second , he let go of Jake ’ s hold and attempted to run , only to see Bette in front of him , blocking his way . Desperate , he runs to his left , but is blocked by Matt . He runs to his right , with both Sandy and the manager standing right in front of him . The man said , “ What are you trying to do to me , huh ?” He dropped the backpack on the floor , and said “ Take it back … okay ? Is that okay for you all ?” Jake took his backpack , but he did not seem very pleased . He looked at Sandy and nodded his head . Sandy reached out and started dialing on her phone . Not long after , she told the police ( which are on the other side of the phone ), “ Hello , there has been a thief trying to steal my friend ’ s precious backpack … Yes … This is …” The man , with a helpless expression , told the manager , “ You win this time , okay ?” The manager let out a little grin , and so did the four .
Back at the motel , Bette and Matt sat together as Sandy and Jake were being questioned by policemen just outside of the motel . The manager granted the four motel rooms free of charge , claiming that the capture of this thief “ help keep the motel out of danger ”.
“ This all happened way too quickly .” Matt sat , still trying to process what had happened . “ I agree .” Bette , who too , was attempting to recount what just happened . All they knew that this trip was going to be an exciting ride . Bette suddenly smirked , and said to Matt , “ This is how you experience the west , right ?” Matt , responding with laughter , “ I suppose so .”
They knew that this was only the beginning of their adventure , and that the rest of the escapade was going to be filled with great memories .
