Claremont, B.C., Canada
2006
The plane made its stop in Vancouver and then Johnny and his dad went in a van straight to Claremont. Their van went through miles and miles of forests and trees, and woods before finally reaching downtown Claremont. They stop at a cop station and Johnny and his dad went inside to meet the sheriff of Claremont. He was very stern, had an almost Brooklyn accent and he was also a Vietnam War Veteran. His name was Ron.
"What is going on here maggots?" Ron asked. "I'm sorry to disturb you sheriff, but I'm here to apply for a job as a cop here," Mr. Wilson said, "I moved here with my son from Texas because we needed a change of scenery." "Well then do you have any experience?" "Yeah, I used to have been a counselor at Camp Green Lake." "Well then you're hired." Ron and Mr. Wilson shook hands, and then "oh I forgot, I would like you to meet my son Johnny Wilson," Mr. Wilson stated. "Well, nice to meet you kid, I'm Ron the head sheriff of Claremont," Ron said. "Nice to meet you too sheriff," Johnny said. They shook hands. "One last thing Ron," Mr. Wilson said. "Since we are new here, would you like to give us a tour of Claremont?" "Sure, I'll give you the grand tour," Ron agreed.
They went out of the cop station and took a tour of downtown. "This is downtown, what you see is what you get. There is the movie theatre, five McDonalds, ten Starbucks, seven Taco Bells, three Jack in the Boxes, a steak house called Young Angus, City Hall, the police station, the jail, a doughnut shop, a Red Lobster, an Olive Garden, a gym, a Wal-Mart, a Target, an Albertsons, and a Ross," Ron said. Downtown was pretty big and busy. Then they went in an old pick-up truck and went through the eerie forest that goes in-between downtown and the school and mall district and then they were in the school and mall district. "This is the school and mall district," Ron said. "This is where you will be going to school Johnny. The Claremont Public School, it is a K-12 school," Ron pointed to the school which was red and had the flag post and a statue of a Canadian soldier in the front. "The statue is supposed to represent the greatest Canadian soldier whom the town is named after, Bartholomew Claremont," Ron said pointing to the statue. "What made him so great?" Johnny asked. "Well, they said that he overcame the 'supernatural' odds, but what do I know? I'm just a sheriff not a historian," Ron said. Then he continued on with the tour, "right across the street from the school is the Galleria Mall, this mall has all the finest stores and foreign restaurants that you won't find in downtown." He pointed to the mall; it was a big mall that stretched even far out to the ocean where it was supported by a pier to keep it from falling into the water. "Oh and before we head to Sunset Island, I should also show you this," Ron stated. They head to the East side of the mall and went to a really old pathway that opens up to the forest, however, the pathway is covered by a huge wooden board that said "NO TRESSPASSING" on it. "This is a no trespassing zone, no one goes in there. I repeat, NO ONE GOES IN THERE," Ron said very firmly. "Why what is in there?" Johnny asked. "No one knows, something really suspicious and dangerous. I don't really know myself, I was just instructed to know that no one is allowed in there," Ron said, "however, what I do know about what is in there is that this pathway leads to Old Town Claremont." "Why is Old Town Claremont a no trespassing zone?" Johnny asked. "That is something I don't know," Ron said. They continue on with their tour by crossing the bridge and going on the Sunset Island side of Claremont. "This is Sunset Island, this side of Claremont has the residential district, the hiking trails, and the hotel district," Ron said. They went to a whole area of houses, "this is the residential district, this is where you two will be staying," Ron said. Soon they went to the left side of the houses and came to a pathway into a forest, "these are the hiking trails. There are three hiking trails, one east, one west, and one north," Ron stated. "The one north is rumored to have the home of a crazy hermit that lives over there, and the one west is rumored to be where a pathway into another dimension is, so the one east is pretty much your best bet." Then they went over to the right side of the houses to a road through the forest again and then they where in the hotel district where some surf shops, a beaver tail store, a beautiful hotel that had a surfing orca on the fountain and on top of the hotel, and a killer beach are. "This is the hotel district, where surfers come and hang out, and tourists come for the great beach and the beautiful sunset," Ron stated. "The hotel is called Surfers' Paradise Resort, own by the mysterious Ridgemounts. This place is one of the best places that Claremont has." After that their tour was over.
They went back to the residential district and came to the house that Johnny and Mr. Wilson were going to stay; it was pretty big with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a huge kitchen, and a little backyard. This house was two-story and it was in the middle of the neighborhood. "Here is where you'll be staying, I hope you like it," Ron said. "Tomorrow you will go to school Johnny, and you Wilson, you will be on duty, alright!" "Yes sir! I'll come first thing in the morning," Mr. Wilson said. "Very well then, see you tomorrow," Ron said and he left, but stopped to give the Wilsons one final warning. "Oh one more thing, in this town there have been rumors and reports of monsters roaming around in the forests, hiking trails, and in the districts, mostly the school and mall district; people say they come from Old Town, but I'm not too sure. I suggest that you lock your doors and windows the moment night comes, just in case 'they' come here to the residential district, which they can, other than that, good luck guys," then Ron officially left.
"Son, don't get any bright ideas on chasing the monsters that Ron was talking about, we came here for a reason, and that is to settle down and not go on monster hunting adventures, capuche!" Mr. Wilson said to his son that night after they unpacked their things and got settled in the house, "yeah I understand dad," Johnny said to his father.
Soon, Johnny went upstairs to his own bedroom which had a nice bed and a computer, and a nice window which took a pretty good view of the residential district. He watched American Idol, surprised that he can watch it in Canada, and he was rooting for Chris Daughtry on the show. Then he went on the computer, went to his Yahoo email account, and started emailing Wyatt back home. "Hey Wyatt, what's up!" Johnny typed into the email before sending it to Wyatt. He got the response, "not too bad, things are pretty different without you around." Then Wyatt started a conversation, "so how's Canada, is it pretty cool over there?" "Yeah, it is pretty cool, I'm like surrounded by forests." "Wow, must be pretty cool over there then." "So, what's the status on the UFO and Mothman corpses?" "I haven't started digging since you left but the one we found, I heard, is really safe in Camp Green Lake. The counselors are taking good care of it, and I also heard it is preserved near the Warden's house, yeah so it is really safe. I'm going to start digging again after school tomorrow, see if I can find more again. The counselors and campers are helping, too." "Awesome, we'll find the whole fleet in no time." "Yeah so is there anything unusual about your place, or is it a normal boring town in the forest?" "Well, the sheriff did warn me and my dad about monsters roaming around here and the surrounding area, and that they can come to my neighborhood. Other than that, it is a pretty normal boring Canadian town." "Wow dude, you can't investigate anymore?" "No, my dad forced me to come here so I can gain my sanity back." "Oh, bummer well, good night, dude! I'll chat with you tomorrow and give you more info on the UFO and Mothman corpses. Good luck at your new school and town." "Good luck with you, too." And after that Johnny logged out of his Yahoo account, turned off the computer, put on his PJs, and went to his bed and fell asleep.
