Ch. 2

Pilot: You kids good? Where's the redhead? *Trish,Ally, and Austin point up

The pilot looks up and sees Dez who waves at him

Pilot: We need to get you down. Carefully unlatch the buckle on your suit and one of your friends will catch you.

Austin: I gotcha buddy.

*Stands under him. Dez unlatches the buckle and falls toward Austin. Austin doesn't think about the oncoming weight and they both fall to the ground.

Austin(groans) See I told you I would catch you.

*Ally helps them up.

Pilot: You guys can take the jeep through the woods. I'll fly to the mountain and meet you there. Be careful and stay on the trail.

Ally: You can drive Dez. Since you got stuck.

*Hands him keys

Dez: Thanks Ally.

*They drive through the woods over the bumpy terrain of rocks and sticks.

Austin: What kind of animals live here?

Dez: There's many birds native to this forest. I see a lot of feathers. There's hawks, eagles, owls, there's even-

Austin:(surprised) Duck!

Dez:(confused) There aren't any ducks.

Austin:(more urgent) No, Duck*Points to tree branch *Dez swerves to avoid the branch and everybody screams

Ally:(breathing hard) That was close. Now according to the map you need to turn right *Dez turns right

Ally: Then take another right then left and keep going straight *Dez follows the route *They finally are at the end of the trail. They park the jeep at the checkpoint station. *They walk to a long wooden rope bridge. Austin looks at the structure and becomes worried

Austin:(concerned) That doesn't look very sturdy.

Ally: It's the only way across. Come on it'll be really quick. *Dez and Trish go across and wait on the other side.

Ally: Come on I'll help you. Just don't look down and think of something happy. *They step on the bridge and it starts to wobble. Austin tightens his grip on the rope. He begins to panic and hyperventilate

Ally: Calm down. I'm going to walk backwards and you're going to guide me. Just look at me and you'll be fine. *Austin breathes normal again and follows her instructions. His fear begins to disappear and he makes it across with ease. They get off the bridge, join their friends and continue on the trail.
