Chapter 7: The missing camper

Back at Wawanakwa, the campers try to find something to do while they wait for Courtney to come back from the mainland with Chris. Chef DJ and Geoff are sick of standing around guarding Duncan all day and decide he doesn't need looking after anymore. Big mistake. One day at lunch Geoff is bringing Duncan food.

"Hey dude. Chef made some awesome sandwiches for-" He stopped short when he noticed Duncan's cell was empty. He dropped his tray with a clang and ran out the door. Geoff kept running until he found Chef in the kitchen.

"What are you doing here boy? You know no ones aloud in MY kitchen." Chef said with his usual scowl as Geoff ran in.

"Chef! Duncan is missing!" Geoff cried flailing his arms in the air like an idiot.

"What! What do you mean he's missing!"

"He's not in his cell! Come look!" The both ran back to the room where Duncan was being held and Chef saw that he wasn't there.

"Ah man this is bad, real bad! What are we going to do?!" Geoff screamed. Chef turned around and slapped him.

"Get a grip man! Look we can't tell the others, they'll panic. Let's head over to Chris' trailer and watch the footage. We'll see how he escaped." Geoff nodded and followed Chef out the door and up to Chris' trailer. Inside they noticed that all the wires were cut, meaning all the screens were turned off and broken.

"That evil little genius of a delinquent. He cut all the wires so we couldn't find him!" Chef shouted angrily.

"What are we going to do now?" Geoff asked frantically biting his nails.

"Ok calm down! Chris will be furious if he finds out we let Duncan escape so we got to find him before he comes back. I'll search the island while you keep the campers busy."

"How will I do that?"

"Chris left a list of challenges for us. Pick one and just keep them busy until I find Duncan!" With that Chef ran out of the trailer leaving Geoff standing there trying to figure out what to do. He found the list and started reading it. He found one that might keep the campers busy long enough for Chef to find Duncan. He walked over to a little black box on the wall, picked it up, and held down the button speaking into it.

"Uhh… sup dudes!" He said over the P.A. system. "All campers report to the camp fire pit to learn about your latest challenge. Geoff out!" He placed the black box back on the wall and went over the list one more time to make sure he memorized what they had to do. Then he left the trailer, heading towards the campfire pit.

Bridgette sat next to Gwen and Heather on the stumps that surrounded the campfire pit, waiting for Geoff to come talk to them about their challenge. Soon he arrived and stood in front of them all with an unnaturally happy smile on his face.

"Sup dudes!" He greeted.

"Geoff what are you doing? Where's Chef?" Harold asked.

"None of your business. Ok so to make a long story short our challenge for today is to go fishing!" He exclaimed.

"Fishing? That's it?" Owen asked skeptically.

"Oh but we aren't fishing for normal fishies! We are fishing for the rare and endangered fresh-water man-eating sharks!"

"Rare and endangered? This place is swarming with those things!" LeShawna exclaimed.

"Exactly, do you know how much it cost to get those things?" Geoff asked with a scowl sounding very Chris like for a second. "Oh, and by the way, I guess I should have mentioned you're fishing for the baby sharks. With your bare hands I might add." He added smugly.

"Our bare hands? How the hell we supposed to do that?!" Heather asked irritably.

"It's reeeeaaaally hard. And catching it with anything BUT your bare hands is considered a criminal offense, just to let you know. The babies only live in small bodies of water until they get bigger so look for it in streams or something. And I have to warn you, they bite."

"Well duh. Otherwise they wouldn't be called fresh-water MAN-EATING SHARKS!" Heather shouted angrily. Without Courtney around Heather had nothing to focus on so she started to get crabby again. Geoff went on, ignoring Heathers little comment.

"Also, you should pair up into groups of two, which might even out the odds a bit. And to make things even easier I'll toss in some fish food. So pair up and come get your food." Geoff watched with a smile on his face as everyone paired up into groups of two. He was actually doing a pretty good job imitating Chris as far as he saw. And it was actually kinda fun, maybe he could do this for a living… The groups were Lindsay and LeShawna, Gwen and Trent, Owen and Heather, and Bridgette and Harold. That left DJ with out a partner.

"Yo Geoff! Are you going to be competing to?" DJ asked walking up to his buddy.

"Sorry dude I'm not aloud, but you could be co-co-co-host if you want." Geoff answered with a smile.

"Co-co-co-host?" DJ repeated with a confused expression.

"Yep. Chef is the first co-host but he has uhh… things to do. That made me co-co-host and you could me be my co-co-co-host!"

"Um sure, whatever." The teams came up to Geoff and he handed out fish food to everyone, which probably wouldn't help to catch a baby shark in the first place. He also gave out plastic bags to fill up with water to they could carry the fish back.

"First one back here wins invincibility! Move campers move!" With that they all ran off in different directions to find their fish.

"So you wanna head over to the trailer and watch them from there?" DJ asked cheerfully having just skipped out on yet another stupid challenge.

"Um no, no. Lets just watch them from here." Geoff answered quickly.

"Uh we can't see anything over here."

"Oh right! So then lets follow them." DJ shrugged and followed Geoff into the forest.

The sun was about to set and no one had even seen a baby fresh-water man-eating shark, but the adults were still clearly prowling around the edge of the beach. Geoff had just checked up on Lindsay's team and was about to go find Bridgette and Harold when DJ stopped him

"Dude, you've been jumpy all day. What's the matter?" His teammate asked suspiciously.

"Me? Jumpy? Matter? Nonsense! What are you talking about? 'Cause I don't know what your talking about. Ha ha ha ha!" Geoff answered and kept walking with DJ following behind.

"Come on dude, what's up?" Geoff glanced around nervously before answering.

"Ok… Fine. I'll tell you. But don't tell the others!"

"I wont. Promise."

"Ok then. Well the truth is…" Suddenly they heard a scream in the distance. They ran towards the scream, stopping when they saw what had made it. Chef was lying face down in the dirt, a thick tree branch with a dent in it that looked a lot like his head lay on the ground beside him.

"Chef! Chef man are you ok?" Geoff asked running up to Chef. The cook rolled over and sat up rubbing the back of his head.

"Yeah… Yeah I'm ok." He answered groggily. "I found Duncan… I was about to grab him when he hit the back of my head with that stick." He pointed to the branch that was beside him. "I blacked out for a minute and when I woke up you were here and he was gone again."

"Well then he couldn't have gotten very far. We'll go look for him." Geoff said determinedly.

"We?" Chef repeated. Geoff pointed to DJ who stood behind him, a shocked expression on his face.

"Wait you, mean… Duncan… escaped?!" He yelled wide-eyed. Chef rolled his eyes slapping himself on the head.

"Yes. He was gone this morning. Geoff was supposed to keep the others occupied while I looked for him. To bad I found him." Chef answered rubbing his head again. He suddenly scowled however. "That punk got away from me! Just you wait, when I find that kid I'm goanna skin him alive and serve him for dinner!" He shouted shaking his fist at the sky angrily.

"Like I said, DJ and I will go find him." Geoff said but Chef grabbed his arm.

"No. Not on your own. We'll look for him again tomorrow." Geoff nodded. DJ helped him up and walked away with him. Geoff stayed behind and gazed off into the trees.

"Duncan! I know you're around here somewhere!" He shouted watching the trees intently. "Don't do anything stupid. I know your doing it all for Courtney. I know how much you care about her but this is insane! Any more of this and she really wont forgive you. I'm not asking you to come back, I'm asking you not to go on like this. Courtney will be back in a few days, maybe then you'll be able to talk to her. Just don't do anything rash ok? See you later buddy." That said he turned around and walked in the direction Chef and DJ went, unaware of a pair of pale blue eyes staring at him from the distance.

Kukuku... Hmmm yes. So! Sorry I havn't updated for a while. High school started and I had to shop and crap and I've been busy settling into a whole new school und such and blah blah blah. Plus, mein birthday is tomorrow! XD!!! Horray for me! So this is MY gift to all of those who have reviewed and are reading this. Dude. Yesterday. Blew my mind. I started this story like three years ago or something and found it a few monthes ago and decided to dig it up, right? Right. So I was staring at the screen thinking what I was goanna do in this chapter when I suddenly remembered something from when I first started this. Three years ago I was obsessed with werewolves and this was GOING to be a story about Courtney turning into a werewolf. Don't ask me how THAT became what it is today. Like I said. My mind. Blown. I was like oh yeah! Anyvays! Here it is, pretty no? Und so the OOC continues, but remember mein readers, ist supposed to be that vey. Dude. Chef. Hard to keep in character at all for me. Read und review. It's all ve writers really vant. T_T Seriously. Ask. We know this to be true. I'm hyper, could you tell? XD!
