Sometimes rescuing a friend from darkness means going in after them. Opening Lines: Cooper couldn't get home late. Not this time. Even at fourteen he wasn't too old to get grounded--a little fact he'd been reminded of before he went out with his friends. His legs felt like concrete, but he kept pedaling.His cousin Gordy didn't act at all tired riding next to him. Gordy raised his chin and seemed to be enjoying the wind blowing his nearly white blonde hair back around the edges of his helmet. Cooper, on the other hand, could feel the sweat looking for an escape route through his maze of curls.
