"It's been too long. Some things wrong" Roxton said as him, Marguerite, and Challenger sat around the tree house.

"You're right. Maybe you and Marguerite should go look for them" Challenger agreed. Roxton nodded as he got up and got his gun.

"I'll stay here in case they come back. If they do I will shoot of one of our flares." Challenger told them. Marguerite continued to sit.

"Um, excuse me. I don't want to go. And you don't need to go, they are probably just taking their time. You know Malone" Marguerite slurred out.

"I think it would be best if you two went and looked. This plateau is full of mysteries." Challenger told her as he handed out a gun. She rolled her eyes and as she let out an awful sigh she took the gun and followed Roxton.

"You know this is ridiculous" She told him after awhile of walking.

"Maybe their in trouble! You know how many times they've had to save you" Roxton turned around.

"Oh keep it in your pants." She snarled at him.

"Gladly" he told her before he turned around again. She followed him as they walked and walked. It was further then they thought it would be.

"Are you sure we're going in the right direction?" Marguerite asked.

"You know right now, I couldn't be any more sure" He told her.

"When have I heard that before…" she mumbled as she stopped to catch her breath a little. Roxton continued to walk when he stepped into a trap. A rope tightened around his ankles and he was flung into the air. Marguerite walked over to him laughing.

"Well, wise guy, good going" she smiled as she walked around him.

"Just get me down. We don't' know who set this trap and how close they could be" Roxton informed her.

"Well, we have ourselves in an interesting situation here you know. I will make you remember that I saved you" she said as she backed up a little.

"I know." He told her with his arms crossed over his chest. She aimed her gun at the rope, it would be a painful way to fall but worth it. She was about to shoot when they heard noises. She quickly ran off into the bushes on the side. Roxton rolled his eyes as a group of men and women came walked along.

"Oh my god!" One of the men shouted.

"Get him down from there!" he ordered as some of the people got him down safely.

"I am so sorry. This trap is meant for animals. You are no animal" the man told him.

"That's ok. I will be on my way now" He told them.

"No please. Let us make up for what we did. Do you need help?"

"Well, we are looking for our friends" Roxton told the man.

"Your not alone?" the man asked as he nodded to the woman next to him.

"…No" Roxton told him.

"See, we come from a…." he started to tell them when a woman behind him hit his head with a large piece of wood. He fell over as Marguerite was taken by two women. They carried Roxton off as she was tied and followed.
