At the campsite, there was a man, who was considerably brought for his age, which was late thirties. The man in question was setting up some beds in a cabin, each of which were big enough to fit a kid. Once he had set up the last bed, and decided to cover them with sheets, a younger man, in his early twenties, entered the cabin. This one was quite tall and muscular, as if he had been in the army for some time.
"Er... excuse me, mister..." he started.
"Harry, please." the older man sounded concerned, "How many times do I have to tell you to call me Pete? This ain't the army no more."
The young man, Harry, apologized: "Oh, right. Sorry Pete."
"What is it?" the older man, Pete, asked.
"I just had a shower." Harry began, "But when I returned to my room, I found all my clothes spread all over my room."
Pete looked surprised, but that look soon changed into anger: "You sure?"
"Yes?" Harry noticed this change in mood.
"Damn it! When will those town-folks learn?" Pete cursed.
Harry didn't understand that last comment: "Town-folks?"
Pete sighed, as he continued with the bedsheets: "Never mind."
"Something I should know?" Harry persisted.
Suddenly, a girl, of about the same age as Harry, entered into the cabin as well: "Pete! The other ones have arrived too."
"Thanks Adrienne." Pete said, after which the girl turned to leave.
Pete decided to leave the sheets for the time being, after which he turned back to Harry, saying: "You wanna know all the details? Talk to Adrienne."
Having said this, he too turned to leave the cabin, after which Harry followed.
The other to which Adrienne was referring earlier, were Kevin, Jeannine and Mark, who had arrived with their mini-van. Upon arrival, the first thing that Kevin did, was look in the back of the van. One by one, he checked all the bags that had fallen. Only one bag contained things that were broken because of the fall.
"Oh no!" Kevin swore, "Look at this!"
He took out a hockey stick from the bag, which was broken into two halves. He showed it to Jeannine.
"It's not so bad." she replied, "With a bit of tape it should still be useful."
"Not so bad?" Kevin questioned, "How about this then?"
He took out something else. It was a white hockey mask, with red markings. On the upper left corner of the mask, there was a small ridge.
"A little torn, but I think it will do just fine." Jeannine said.
"Fine?" Kevin wasn't satisfied, "How are kids supposed to protect their faces with a broken mask?"
Mark only just managed to shush Kevin: "The boss is coming."
The boss, namely Pete, arrived: "Good morning. I hope you had a pleasant trip. My name's Pete, and I'll be your boss for this summer."
The three of them laughed, but they didn't get a chance to introduce themselves to Pete, as he said: "I'd love to stay and chat a little more, but I've got something in town to take care of, and you still have some things to do to make this place suitable for the kids. They'll arrive tomorrow morning, so you'd better hurry up."
With this, Pete turned away from them, got into his all-terrain vehicle, and was about to drive off, when Pete realized something: "Shit! Forgot my keys."
He got out and returned to his own cabin to get the keys.
"That... that was weird." Mark remarked.
"He's not becoming senile already, is he?" Jeannine wondered.
"You study psychology and that's the best you can think of?" Kevin remarked.
"I can think of much better things than that." Jeannine said.
"Hi." Adrienne arrived at the scene as well, "I"m Adrienne."
After a short exchange of names and hellos, Adrienne added: "I suppose you would like to get changed first."
Adrienne allowed the three of them to grab their bags before she guided the three of them inside the camp's main cabin. Once there, Harry stopped Adrienne for a while.
"What is it with Pete and the town-folks?" he asked.
"It's a long story." Adrienne replied, "Why?"
"Because I just told Pete about how I found my room after I sh..."
"Hey, Adrienne!" Mark shouted, "Can't you two lovebirds talk later?"
Adrienne turned to Mark, indignantly: "Just go up the stairs. I'm in the first room on the left, and Harry here is in the last one on the same side."
With these instructions, the three of them entered the cabin. Once they were inside, Adrienne continued to Harry: "The people from the town are trying to scare us."
"Why?" Harry was still not satisfied with this answer.
"Can you wait for tonight, so I can tell everyone else too?" Adrienne said, after which she too entered the cabin.
Harry, not knowing what else to do, returned to the cabin he was in earlier with Pete, thinking he could finish the job that he had started.
Pete, meanwhile, had entered his own personal cabin. He went upstairs to his bedroom, where he too found that all his clothes have been spread all around the room.
"What the...?" Pete was starting to grow inpatient, "This is going too far!"
As fast as he could, he looked for his keys. Once he had found them, he got back to his all-terrain vehicle, got in and drove off.
