Chapter Five

Philip did not know what to think. He had been given lots of information that it made so much sense but then it made none at all. Without looking back, Mr.McNaughtan got up and left. Philip did not know how he felt about this. Did McNaughtan really even care about Philip, or was he just lying and really working against him. With all the new information Philip was confused in what he should do. Should he really trust McNaugtan? Or should he be on his own, a "lone wolf" and really try to figure out what is going on by himself. He didn't know. So Philip stayed in the movie theater until the film was over, but he did not watch the film, he was deep in his own thought.

Next thing he knew, people were getting up, so Philip fell into suit and did the same. The transition from the dark theater to the bright hallway was hard on his eyes, and after blinking a few times he felt better. He looked down at his watch and saw the time, 8:46. It was quite late. What to do now, thought Philip. Philip walked past the concession stands and then, out of nowhere, he was grabbed and pulled to the side. Instinctively he tried to defend himself but realized McNaughtan was the one who pulled him.

"What are you doing?" questioned Philip, because not only had McNaughtan he scared him but he had attracted the attention of many other people in the theater. "Three of them. Across the street. We have to get out." replied a quite flustered McNaughtan. "What are you talking about?" whispered back Philip. "Brienholt, Parker, and Sutherland. They saw me and know where I am. I will cause a distraction and you try to get into the Red Rock resturant and listen to the conversation. Thats where they are." said McNaughtan, "But.." "DONT ARGUE WITH ME, WE HAVE ONE SHOT!" forcefully whispered McNaughtan. So Philip did as he was told. He was supposed to go out the side door and sneak around and into the Red Rock restaurant.

So then it began. McNaughtan made the huge seen out side the theater of accidentally falling into a table where someone was eating, and Philip made a break for it. He threw open the doors and ran as fast and low as he could, across the street and got to the door of the restaurant. "Hi, how may we help you?" asked the waitress. "Just a table for one please." and Philip was led to a table, "Where is the bathroom?" asked Philip. "Just over there, and take a right.", "Thanks!" said Philip and the woman walked away. Perfect, thought Philip. The bathroom was right next to the table in which the teachers were located. So he got up, and began to walk over to the teachers and very inconspicuously perched himself on the window sill and a table, and proceeded to listen in on their conversation...
