Charmayne switched the papers around. "Hand me your paper." She said to Sam. So far she had: CATCH M I OU N Weird… She thought. "All we have so far is catch and then m, i, o, u, and n." Sam stated. Wes looked out the door of the train. New York City wasn't there anymore, now there was a desert. The train stopped. "I think we need to get off." Wes said. Sam gathered up the papers and they all stepped off. The train disintegrated into thin air just like the briefcases did. "Well, what now?" Wes wondered out loud. 10 people in neon green suits and ties with neon green briefcases came towards them. "Phase 4?" Charmayne asked herself quietly. The neon people closed the distance quickly and set the briefcases on the ground, side by side. "These are for you." They said in unison and disappeared. The 3 kids knelt and opened the cases. "More letters." Sam said. "I've got F, Y, and E." Wes shrugged. Charmayne grabbed the papers out of the cases by her. "Mine say: C, N, and E." Sam raised her eyebrows. "I have A, K, a hyphen, and I. Let's lie out the letters and try to solve this puzzle." Sam suggested. Wes lied out CATCH and all the other letters. "We can spell can." Charmayne reported. "CATCH and CAN." Wes nodded and rearranged the papers. "We've got ME and YOU also." Sam stated as she made the words. "CATCH… ME… IF… YOU… CAN… that's it? Catch me if you can. But what's the last part?" Wes asked the small group. "It must be a name. That's what the hyphen is for. Hmm…" Sam trailed off. She moved the last letters around: - KAINE. "Okay this is what the letters say: CATCH ME IF YOU CAN - KAINE. Wait isn't Kaine that hacker?" Sam wondered. "Umm yeah…" Wes replied. "So, what now?" Charmayne wondered. This was Phase 4. One more phase and she would win.
Charmayne looked around. "Phase 5." Wes turned to her. "What? Phase 5?" Sam rolled her eyes. "She playing Phases, you doofus. If you defeat Phase 5 you win but the Phases are different every time." Wes smiled sheepishly. "Oh…" Charmayne thought about the message. Catch me if you can - Kaine. What is that supposed to mean? Is that Phase 5? To catch Kaine? Charmayne looked up. "Phase 5 is to catch Kaine! I know it is!" But then the color drained from her face. "But… no one has ever caught Kaine. Well, I guess I loose at Phase 4." Sam nodded. "We'll never get Kaine. It's pointless to even try. And if we did try to get him and we fail, which we will, he'll send someone after us and kill us in our Coffins." Wes looked at his watch. "I've got to get home. Bye!" He disappeared from the game. Sam glanced at her watch. "I was supposed to be home 20 minutes ago. See ya!" Sam left to leaving just Charmayne and the note. I guess I better go too. She told herself. The letters disappeared and so did she.
