Okay, I'm sorry this took forever to update. Has anyone else's upload things not been working lately? That's what happened to me, and why this update sook so long. And I also know you guys and girls may be like that's stupid, their walkie-talkies would still work in the middle of the woods. Wrong. My dad is a cheif in the Philadelphia fire department and their walkie talkies don't even work when the step away a couple steps in a birning building. So yeah, the walkie-talies are just expensive peices of junk lol. Not even my aunt who was in the Police Department walkie-talie ever worked.Well, I hope youl ike this Chapter. I just puased Grey's Anatomy so I could come up and post it lol, I just got the season DVD today! Well...enjoy!
Darkness fell upon the thick woods as the team settled down for the night. Not even theirwalkie-talkies had worked in the forest. They started a fire and sat around it. Colby and Charlie lounged in the trunk of the SUV, the trunk door open as they chatted with Meghan, Don and David, whom were seated on the ground by the fire. The group snacked on pretzels and crackers as they sat around the blaze.

"I really don't like the idea of being in the middle of the woods in the dark. A little to Blaire Witch Project for me," Colby shivered.

"Stop being a baby," David smirked.

"I'm not...I was just saying how I don't like it," Colby shot back. Meghan just rolled her eyes at her friend.

"So what are we gonna do out here?" David asked.

"Were going to do what we set out to do. Were going to catch Daniel Carr and whoever might have helped them with all those murders...remember supposedly he has a cabin out in these woods somewhere. That's where we thought he was setting everything up remember?" Don explained. The team just stared wide eyed at him.

"Yeah, we remember Don, but I think it may be a little dangerous," Meghan said calmly. Were camping out in the middle of the woods and barely armed."

"Do what you want but I'm going out to find that guy. If you guys aren't going to help me then so be it, I'll go myself," Don shrugged. "Its better then staying in one place and just sitting around waiting for him to come and kill us."

"It's a little late for that agents," a voice snarled behind them. Don whipped around and came face to face with Daniel Carr and several other armed men. Don backed away until he was against the back of the SUV where Colby and Charlie sat. He made sure he was standing in front of his littler brother, shielding him from the men. One thing was certain though, they were out numbered.

"Carr, put the gun down," Don tried to negotiate. Carr just laughed.

"You think I'm gonna fall for that agent?"

"You need to step back Carr," Don said, trying to get him a little farther away from the group.

"Tell you what Agent. Just to make it fair since your all out numbered...we'll give a ten second head running start," Carr chuckled.

Don recalled looking over reports that said Carr liked to make the murders challenging and that he enjoyed playing games with his victims. He hoped this wasn't one of his little games.

"Make it more difficult for you Carr," Don said. "Give us 30 seconds." Don remembered back in training when they said if you could run fast enough, you could get a bit ahead of any danger in 30 seconds.

"Consider it done agent," Carr smirked. "Start...NOW!"

All five members of the team scattered to different parts of the woods while Carr counted loudly.


Don knew it was stupid to run, but he had no choice in this situation...he was outnumbered eight to 8 to 5. More like 8 to 4 as he thought about it. Charlie was unarmed and really didn't count. Oh god Charlie! He had totally forgotten. All he could think about was how Charlie was out there running from this murderous lunatic.

"30!" Don heard the faint voice of Carr as he ran further into the woods. That's when panic started to fill him. Meghan. Colby, and David were all armed and knew how to take care of themselves, but Charlie was out there, helpless and without a weapon.

"It's gonna be okay," Don thought to himself as he ran through the pitch dark woods. It was just like hide and goes seek, only that if you got caught, you got killed. Don came to a small rivulet. He couldn't see it but he could certainly hear the rushing water in the dark. He pulled out his flashlight and got on his knees. He flashed as low to the ground as he possibly could, hope Daniel Carr and his cronies wouldn't see the quick flash of light. On the side of the creek where Don was, was a little dirt and moss over pass that had probably been caused when the brook flooded. He slowly crawled under the ledge and curled into a ball, praying that neither he, nor anyone else on his team would be found.


Charlie didn't know how long he had been running but it seemed like ages. He looked to the sky. From the change in the positions of the stars from when he had last seen them before the team had scattered he had been running for about an hour. That was when he realized how exhausted he was. He could just make out the shapes of different objects due to the soft, silver glow of moonlight. He sat down on what he assumed to be a fallen tree and sighed. He had ripped the knee part of his jeans open when he tripped over something on forest floor and tumbled to the ground. He felt the area. The flesh was tender and he could feel the stickiness of blood. He wondered if Meghan, David, Colby, and especially Don had been as lucky as he was. He had escaped Carr and his Hench men. Charlie slid off of the tree and lay beside it. He realized there was a ditch under the fallen tree and rolled into it. It was shallow but it was currently his best hope of shielding him from any person who would come from the direction he had just run from. Charlie knew the situation was urging but sleep kept tugging at him. Though he tried his best to fight it off, it sucked him and soon Charlie was asleep, lost in the middle of the woods.


David rose from his hiding place. He had hid behind a boulder that was among several other large rocks. He knew it was a stupid hiding place but he had run for quite awhile, hoping he had gotten a far distance from Carr. The only bad thing was that now he was probably a far distance away from the rest of the team. David hoped it was safe to come out of hiding. He tried to survey the area. He had no idea where he was of even what direction he had come from. David knew it was foolish, but he started to walk to the east, away from where he had spent the night. He hoped with luck he would uncover one of his team members.

'Team', David thought. 'More like family.'

David pressed further, slouching towards the ground. He began to pick up speed as he frantically searched for his friends. For about 20 minutes he searched before he came across a rock with drips of blood on it. David tried to dismiss it as sap or something but the more he looked at it, the more it confirmed his fears. As David looked around he realized there was a small trail of blood droplets. He followed it for about 15 minutes when he came to a fallen tree. This was where the trail stopped. David looked around for any sign of life. Relief and panic washed over him when he saw a mop of dark, curly hair sticking up slightly from a shallow ditch under the tree. David crawled over. Charlie's eyes were closed which caused fear to build up in the agent.

"Charlie," David whispered as he shook the mathematician. "Charlie wakes up man."

Charlie awoke with a start, at first thinking he was being shaken by Carr. "Oh God David, I thought you were Carr," The young man gasped. 'But I sure am glad to see you."

"Ditto," David smiled before turning serious. "Are you okay, I followed a trail of blood to you?"

"Yeah I'm fine. I just busted my knee on a rock when I fell," Charlie said.

"Well let me take a look at it," the agent said helping lift Charlie out of the ditch. David winced when he saw the bloody mess on Charlie's knee.

"That looks like it needs stitches," David sighed.

"Props to ya if you can stitch with leave stems and moss threads," Charlie laughed.

"Yeah we'll save that for Meghan," David laughed as he ripped a strip of his shirt off and tied it around Charlie's bleeding knee.

"Do you think the others are okay?" Charlie asked David.

"They can handle themselves," David nodded. "But we should start looking."

"Don't you think Carr we'll find us?" Charlie gulped.

"Charlie I promise you I won't let anything happen to you while were out here okay? Do you trust me?" David said sincerely to the mathematician, putting out his had for Charlie to take to pull himself up.

Charlie nodded and slapped his hand into David's, who pulled him to his feet.
