Ch. 1
*The four friends are exploring the jungle. Dez is driving the jeep. Austin looks through his binoculars and Ally and Trish look take pictures of birds and plants.
Dez: What do you think we'll find today?
Ally: There's been reports that the Lost City of Atlantis is somewhere deep in the jungle. We should look for it.
Trish: There's probably all kinds of ancient artifacts hidden there.
Austin: We'll make a new discovery.
Dez: Great. Where do we start?
Ally: I don't know. Let's just explore here. Maybe we'll find some clues.
Dez: Ok. *As they drive the jeep suddenly slows down and stops.
Austin: What happened?
Dez: I don't know. We must have flat tire. *Austin looks down
Austin: We don't have a flat tire we're stuck in the mud.
Dez: Ok. You guys push and I'll try to drive us out. *Austin, Ally, and Trish get out and push the jeep. The struggle as the jeep slowly moves through the thick mud. Finally the jeep is free. Ally, Austin, and Trish find themselves stuck in the mud. They begin to sink. Austin starts to panic
Ally: Calm down. Panicking will only make it worse. You'll sink faster the more you move.
Austin: I'm calm. I'm calm. *Breathes slowly
Trish: What should we do?
Ally: Stay completely still. Dez get us out.
Dez: With what?
Ally: A long rope. Check the rescue pack. Hurry!
*Dez gets a long rope out and tosses it to his friends. They hang on tight. He successfully pulls them out.
Dez: Is everyone ok?
Ally: Yeah we're ok.
Trish: Let's keep going. Hopefully we won't get stuck again.
