Logan was trembling by now and tears were welling up in his dark eyes. How where they supposed to get out of this? He was terrified and wanted to do nothing but cry, but then he remembered that people were watching their every move. He surely didn't want to be bullied as the weakest band member when this ordeal was over.
"Griffin did this to us. I could have known he would be up to this," Kendall spat angrily.
"I hate that guy. I really do!" James said.
"Me too," Carlos chimed in.
Logan didn't dare to say a word, but his friends noticed that he was scared to death.
"Don't worry, Loges," Kendall said wrapping his arm brotherly around the boy's shoulder. "We'll get through this as a team."
"What are we going to do now," Logan answered his voice trembling slightly.
"We are going to search for food as a team, after we have filled our bottles with water," Kendall said. "That's where your brain comes in. You can tell us what we can or can't eat."
"I think I can do that," Logan said softly.
"I'm positive," Carlos said.
"We also need to build a shelter and we also need your brain for that one," Kendall went on. "Where should we build the shelter and how and with what?"
"Yeah, it will be fun," Carlos chimed in. "Like camping outdoors like we used to do back in Minnesota."
They boys agreed to all of the plans and started to fill their water bottles. Carlos and Kendall went first into the jungle and James kept a close eye on Logan. He was being very cautious with every step he took.
"Don't worry. We'll be fine," James whispered in Logan's ear.
"So, what do you think we can eat?" Kendall asked his friend.
"Um .. Well. You can sometimes eat berries or mushrooms, but that depends," Logan started to explain. "I suppose we can eat some of these bugs, 'cause they have lots of proteins."
James made a disgusting face.
"I know, I'm not that keen on that either, but we might have too," Logan explained. "We need our strength. We could also try to catch some fish, I guess."
"Hmmm. Well, these bugs taste great," Carlos said. "I already tried some. They're no corn dogs or fruit smackers, but they taste alright for now."
