Kyle, Stan and Kenny all followed Cartman for what seemed like hours, but had probably only been 30 minutes. About 15 of those minutes had been all of them walking through the woods, looking for wherever Cartman led them to.

"We've been walking forever fatass, where are you taking us?" Kenny asks abruptly, causing them all to shot him a glance of agreedom, except for Cartman who kept on walking, not taking his eyes off of the path.

"We're almost here," He replies with wandering eyes, staring at the scenery of plants and trees in front of them.

"Where's here?" Kyle asks, his low temper overwhelming him.

"You'll see when we get there, you stupid Jew," everyone rolled there eyes. Why did he always have to add such a remark at the end of his sentences?

Coming up in the view, was a tree house, not very small, or very big, but a size that the four boys could all stay in.

"Is this where you're taking us?" Kenny questions Cartman. Cartman turned towards him and nodded. They finally approached the sturdy wooden house. "It beats my house."

"My cousin and I made this a few years ago. He's 18 now, but he helped me with all of the building and stuff. It's better than it seems on the outside, it's really pretty cool. Come on, let's go." They continued to follow him, up the ladder into the tree house.

And he was totally right.

Inside, it was painted red, blue, green, and orange. Even the ceiling had some designs on it. There was enough room on the inside for the four of them to have there own little space, and even blankets inside. There was one window on the right side of it, but had a wooden board that went down and covered it. This wasn't event the best of it.

What they didn't know, was that Cartman had been there over the summer, again with his cousin, where they had built more onto the tree house. On of the blankets on the floor, was a little door, about 1 foot under the tree house, and they had stored a bunch of random things, like flashlights with extra batteries, a first aid kit, water bottles and even things like cereal boxes.

Cartman and his cousin went camping there a few times themselves. "I should have thought of bringing you guys here right when he got to this hippie town," he explains.

"We're not gonna last in here," begins Kyle, "Once they realize we're gone, and that the other guy is killed, they'll be looking for us, no doubt. They'll look everywhere, and people find dead kids in the woods all the time, do you really think that they won't look here?" Everyone stared at Kyle, because he was correct.

They didn't really have much of a chance hiding in the woods from the police. But if the cops were anything like they were in South Park, they wouldn't be found for months. Because of course, you could get anything past the South Park Police patrol, especially with Officer Barbrady as the Main Police Officer.

They were all silent for a while, but this was where they would stay, just for a short amount of time. However long they wanted. They just didn't even know the point, of why they had to hide from everyone in South Park, and why they couldn't just go back home. So Stan started that conversation.

Kyle and Stan were sitting in one corner of the cube shaped room, while Kenny sat in his own, and Cartman in his. He'd given them all pillows too, ones that his cousin and him left there. "Kyle, when are we gonna go home?"

Kyle shrugged and nuzzled into Stan's shoulder. Stan lays his head a top Kyle's pulling the blanket a bit farther onto his body, "I hope soon, because being with Cartman for this long is not how I wanted to end up spending my time."

"Me either, you know, maybe we could just leave and turn ourselves in," Stan suggests, "We could take Kenny along with us too, and leave this fatass here by himself, and he'll get what's coming to him for skipping school, and getting all of us into this mess," Stan deeply sighs adjusts his arm around Kyle. Luckily for them, Cartman was asleep, so he couldn't hear a thing.

Kyle agrees, "We can do it tomorrow, so he's not suspicious tonight, and comes looking for us, because it may take a while for us to find our way out of this town."

Stan nods, "Okay, tomorrow, but let's go to sleep now, I'm really tired." It doesn't take long for them both to fall into a deep sleep. The next morning, Stan and Kyle are the first ones awake, and it stays that way for a few hours. They talk amongst themselves, but choose not to bring up the plan of escape, in case a certain Eric Cartman was listening again.

"When are we gonna tell Kenny?" Stan quietly whispers, deciding to bring it up one last time, where they can actually talk about it without too much of a worry. It would have been worse and more of a chance of him finding out if they knew he was awake. So if he suspected they were asleep, it was a bit safer for him.

"We'll tell him soon, maybe when Cartman's not in here, doing hell knows what out in the forest," Kyle replies nonchalantly with wandering eyes, "But soon enough," he adds.

Stan shrugs before replying, "I guess so. We can wait."

They talking lightly among themselves for a while longer before the other two boys wake from there deep slumber. As the day dragged on, Cartman when out to use the bathroom, which technically was just a tree outside, and Stan and Kyle quickly explained the plan to Kenny.

"Dude, we're escaping this rat hole of a town without Cartman tonight. We've got a little plan figured out and we don't plan on living our lives hidden in the forest with this fatass. You in?" Kyle quickly asks Kenny, checking the window to make sure Cartman wasn't near. Lucky enough for them, he was somewhere off behind a tree, where Kyle could slightly make out his figure in front of the setting sun.

Kenny has no hesitation on agreeing. He nods and whispers back, "Yeah," and right at that time, they noticed the large boy making his way back to the tree house. Time had to be around 6 or 7, so they'd probably be falling asleep within a few hours. Perfect time to make there getaway.

Stan and Kyle had observed the sleeping Cartman, to the point that they knew nothing would wake him up in his sweet dreams about Cheesy Poofs. Kenny has been awake too, and was fully aware of what they were going to do.

The red haired boy quietly removed the wood that covered the tree house's exit, placing it against the sturdy wall. Not bothering to put it back, they made their escape. A few minutes of walking through the woods with two sets of flashlights, and they were pretty much lost. They'd seen the outside of the woods, and out to the streets, but it seemed to be getting farther and farther away with each step that they took.

They didn't think they'd reach the outside before Cartman had become known of the fact that they left without him. An hour later, they estimated, they were so close, so close they could see the streetlights from far away and hear the sound of late cars passing by.

That's when everything changed.

Something that no one had enough time to look at, came up from behind them, knocked Kenny and Stan both out cold, and ran off with Kyle. When they woke up an hour later, they had no lead and no evidence to who took him, so they had to search for themselves around the endless woods.
