All you people making him dial his cell, he's going to crash into a ditch or something.

Just make sure you don't crash.

Entry 72. June 19, 2009.
[x] Keep driving but try calling Nicholas' cell.
"No! We should stop! I can't let Nick take them in or anything. Dad's trying to get them all out of the picture. Ugh... What is calling going to do though? As always, it seems you know something I don't."
Despite Melanie's wishes and his own desires, Felix keeps driving and speeds past the parked van and police car. "Why'd you do that Felix? Come on, turn around!" Melanie urges. Felix looks at her and tries to convey the answer with his eyes. Luckily for him, she catches on. "Thank God! I was worried you two are truly crazy. I told you it's dangerous! Anything could be a trap!" Selest stresses. "Selest, we know who those vehicles belong to. No way it was a trap of Rose's. I decided not to stop because it was none of our business," Felix explains. "Oh really? Whose?" she asks. "Two guys from NewFuture and a police officer we know well from town," he answers. Selest's face cringes when she hears NewFuture. Melanie notices the reaction in the rear-view mirror before Selest catches herself. "Ah, regardless, I'm glad you came to your senses. It isn't our business," she says, relaxing again. "I am going to call Nick, though. Just to see what's up," Felix tells them.
In the woods, Nicholas stands over a fresh shallow grave. "Damn him. I can't afford to make more mistakes like this," he says, rubbing his jaw. Nicholas works his way back to the road with the shovel from his car in hand. He throws the shovel back in his trunk and refocuses himself on his original plan. The abrupt ringing from his car causes him to curse once again.
"Hello Nick?"
"Ah, hello Felix. What's going on? I'm busy."
"Oh, I won't keep you long. Sorry. I was just curious what's going on with you. I noticed your car as I drove by just now."
Nicholas' eyes go wide and he freezes in place.
"Hm, what was that?"
"I just drove by you. I saw your car behind a van. Everything alright?"
"Y-yes... Yes, just pulled over a couple of speeders."
"Oh, I see. Nothing more than that?"
"Why do you ask? Did you see anything?"
"Huh? No, I didn't even see you talking to them."
"It's no big deal at all. Why are you even curious?"
"I recognized the van is all. Goodness. You're acting strange. I'm sorry for calling."
"I doubt you know who I pulled over. They were passing through on vacation. Probably a coincidence."
"Oh, hm... I guess we did jump to conclusions."
"Anyway, you said you just passed. Heading to Lixmilo?"
"Yeah. Sorry again for bothering you."
"No problem. Have a safe trip."
"Well?" Melanie asks. "Turns out it wasn't James and Garet. Strange. Just a couple of idiots on vacation," he explains. Melanie furrows her brow. "I...I was positive it was their van," she shakes her head. "Nick was acting kind of strange. Nervous, almost," he realizes. "Why are you two dwelling on something so stupid? Just drop it and focus on driving!" Selest bursts in. Felix and Melanie decide to shrug it off, but the suspicion lingers in their minds.
Nicholas curses his terrible luck and punches his car door. "I need to get this mess wrapped up before it gets any worse," he says, dialing his home phone. "Is it done?" Chad asks. "Yes, couple minor snags. Your son almost saw me. It seems he is heading to Lixmilo. Everything is under control now. Just the van remains," Nicholas explains. "Don't worry about him. Get back here now. Someone will be there to clean up. We need to talk about Lizor," Chad says.
"Selest called a bit ago," Oscar says. "Oh? And how are they?" Rose asks. "She says everything is going great and not to worry," he answers. "Good. She's on schedule then?" she continues. Oscar nods. "She wouldn't tell me where she was, though. I do hope she isn't doing anything stupid," he sighs. "It doesn't matter what she does, as long as she gets him there on time. Anyway, we have more pressing matters right now. What are we going to do about Lizor?" Rose asks.
After a couple hours on the road, Selest wakes up from her nap. "Welcome back, sleepy head," Felix jokes. "Huh...wha... How long was I sleeping?" Selest asks, rubbing her eyes. "Nearly two hours. We're over half way there already," Melanie tells her. "Did I miss anything?" she asks. "Haha. No, unless you like looking at trees," Felix laughs. "Hey Felix! There's a diner and station up ahead. Can we stop? I'd like to stretch my legs and get something to eat," Melanie asks. "Hm...I don't like wasting time, but that wouldn't be bad. I'd like to stop for a bit too," Selest agrees. Felix pulls into the gas station and fills his car while the girls go to the restroom.
"So what's your story Selest?"
"Haha. Not wasting any time now are we, Melanie?"
"Just friendly restroom conversation."
"Right. I don't have a story. I like Felix, and I don't want to see him get wrapped up in our parents' stupid plan."
"What a kind person you are. Really, so sweet. Don't get any ideas about Felix."
"Don't worry. I won't steal your boyfriend. Are you worried about him choosing me?"
"Ha! Felix loves me. We've been through more together than you could imagine."
"Then don't be so insecure."
"He told me you argued pretty strongly against coming to get me."
"So what? I didn't want to waste so much time and risk walking into a trap."
"Sure. Likely story. I'll be frank with you: I don't trust you. Watch yourself."
"Feisty girl! Haha. You should watch yourself."
"Why the sour faces, ladies?" Felix asks. Melanie and Selest glare at each other. "Whoa... How about we go grab something inside?" he asks, attempting to ease the obvious tension. "You two go ahead. I'll wait out here," Selest answers. "Suit yourself," he responds. Inside, they get some cold sandwiches and sit down to eat them. Melanie looks out the window and sees Selest talking on her cellphone. "Do you really trust her?" she asks. "I don't know. She isn't a bad person. I didn't get to know her well last year, but I believe she is trying to help us," he answers, taking another bite of his sandwich. "Everything is just happening really fast," she says, looking out at Selest another time.
On the road once more, Felix asks who Selest was talking to. "My friend again. I told her we'll be there around seven," she answers. "This friend of yours. How do you know her?" he asks. "We went to high school together. We'll go to her place, she'll give us a place for the night and we can discuss what to do about our parents," she explains. "I don't like this serious lack of any real plan," Melanie scoffs. "Excuse me? All that matters is getting far away from them. We'll be able to plan there without having to worry," Selest argues. The latter half of their trip to Lixmilo passes very slowly and painfully. Selest and Melanie argue constantly until Felix finally just says no more talking, period.
When he finally passes the "Welcome to Lixmilo!" sign, Felix lets out a huge breath of relief. "Now, Selest, which way to your friend's?" he asks. "Why do we have to go to her friend's anyway? Why can't we get a motel room?" Melanie asks, coyly. "Oh come off it! Are you serious? Why waste time and money dealing with that when my friend will help us for free?" Selest protests. "You go to her place then! Felix and I can get our own room!" Melanie argues. "BOTH OF YOU. SHUT UP!" Felix suddenly yells, stopping the car; "I realize you two aren't exactly friends, but cut the crap and stop arguing. Melanie, don't take this the wrong way, but let's just go to her place like we planned. It's easier." Melanie glares at him with burning eyes. "Whatever," she says. Selest smiles smugly.
"Turn right up here. Okay, this is it," Selest says. Felix finds a place in the parking lot outside and parks his car. All three of them walk up to Selest's friend's second floor room. Selest knocks on the door and her friend quickly answers. "Yay! Hey Selest! It's been a while!" her friend says, hugging her. "And you two must be Felix and Melanie! I'm Roberta. Nice to meet you!" she says, happily. They go inside and Roberta has them drop their stuff on the couch. "Selest'll share my room and you two can sleep out here. Will that work?" she asks. Felix nods, but Melanie just responds, "Whatever." Roberta picks up on the weird vibes and goes to join Selest in the kitchen.
"Melanie... Please don't be mad. I'm not siding with her. I just think coming here is the best thing to do right now."
"I know, I know... Doesn't mean I'm happy about it. I don't like her."
"Just be nice. We should all work together."
"I know... I'm sorry for being annoying. Her friend seems nice. Maybe she isn't so bad after all."
Felix hugs Melanie. Selest walks in and rolls her eyes. "Kiss and make up?" she mocks. "Melanie would like to apologize to you," Felix says. "Eh... Yeah. I'm sorry for arguing with you, Selest," Melanie apologizes. "Heh. Alright, sweety," she laughs. Felix squeezes Melanie's arm to keep her from starting something again. "Anyway, we need to work something out now. Where do we go from here?" Selest asks. Roberta comes back in with some drinks for everyone. Melanie's cellphone rings and she goes over to the corner to talk. "Well, seeing as we can't run and hide forever, we need to do something about Mom and Oscar," Felix starts. "Obviously. You don't realize how dangerous she is. It'd be best if we could somehow get the police on them. They could handle this," Selest says. "What crime have they committed...?" he asks, skeptical. "I don't know... Ugh, I can't focus on this right now. I don't want to think about it tonight," she complains. "Let's go out and do something tonight then! We can all get to know each other better too!" Roberta perks up, seeing an opportunity. "Sounds much better than this," Selest agrees. "Hm? What's going on?" Melanie asks, done with her phone conversation. "We're gonna go out together and have some fun!" Roberta smiles.
[] Go out and have fun for the night.

They reveal things about a top-secret project and then end up getting murdered by one of their best friends?
Hm. I see your point.
