Adam looked around at the kids as they rode back on the bus to camp. This wasn't going to be good. Once the Mayor got wind of this, he'd close down the camp for sure and his dream would be ruined. They pulled into the camp and Adam headed into the office.
"Mr. Copeland, you got a call from the mayor and he wants you to call him." The receptionist said.
"Thank you." He sighed as he walked into his office. He sat down and dialed the mayor's number. He hoped he could convince the mayor not to close down the camp.
"Mayor Lawler's office." The secretary said when she answered the phone.
"This is Adam Copeland. I'm returning the mayor's call."
"One moment please." Adam waited nervously for the mayor to picked up.
"Mr. Copeland, I'm glad you returned my call."
"Yes sir." Adam said politely. "How can I help you?"
"I was contacted by the police about the death of your nurse. This is the third death associated with your camp and I want to know what you intend to do?"
"The police are investigating."
"I'd advise closing the camp for now."
"I've worked hard with this camp and I've never had a problem with something like this." Adam replied. "Mr. Mayor, please. This is my life work."
"Mr. Copeland, I will not risk the life of my daughter or the other kids. I'm giving you twenty-four to either figure out what's going no or to close the camp. The choice is yours."
Adam sighed and hung up the phone just as the building shook and screams filled the air. He quickly ran out and saw the smoke from the building that was once there. It was the building with the canteen and nurse's office. He ran over and tried to see if anyone was there. He looked up as Justin, Natalya, Tyson, and Ron ran up.
"Where are the kids? Where are Beth and Sheamus?" He asked them as Tyson called 911.
"Kate, John, Mike and Avery are in the cabin. Phil and AJ we arena' t sure." Natalya said.
"What about Beth, Sheamus, and Randy?"
Natalya turned to Tyson and cried on his shoulder. "They were inside the canteen." Justin replied. "I had seen them as I was leaving to get the others for lunch."
Adam scrubbed his hands down his face. "Get all the kids together. We're figuring this out tonight!"
Natalya nodded and headed to get the kids. Adam turned to Justin. "Call the police and let them know what we have. The mayor will not be pleased." Justin nodded and headed to call the police.
Adam looked at the rumble that use to be the building and sighed. He couldn't believe that three more people were dead. He had to find out what was going on. He couldn't risk the others. If they didn't figure it out that night, then he would close the camp and send the kids home. Maybe then they would figure out who was doing this.
"Police are on their way." Justin said walking back up. "You alright?"
"I just can't believe she's gone. She was my rock through this whole thing."
"I understand." He replied as Natalya walked up with the kids. They looked at the building.
"I guess you guys can tell that we have had an accident." He said to them.
"Where's Randy?" Kate asked looking around.
Adam sighed. "Randy, Beth and Sheamus were in the canteen. The police are on their way and I'm sure they have called the mayor and everyone else." He looked at them. "I know it's a shock but we are going to figure things out." He looked around. "Where are AJ and Phil?"
Phil sat with AJ holding her as she cried. "You okay?"
"I just can't believe this is happening." He nodded and held her. He looked around.
"We better get back before they realize we're gone." She nodded and he placed his arm around her shoulder and they walked back toward the camp.
They walked up and saw the building in rumble. "Where the hell have you both been?" Adam said walking over. "Come and sit down now!"
"We were just walking in the woods. She's still traumatized by seeing Kaitlyn dead."
"Until we figure out what's going on, nobody leaves my sight. Got it?" He said looking at all the kids. "Got it?"
"Yes sir." They said together.
"Alright. We have to figure this out. When Eve died where were you all? Let's start with Mike and John. Where were you guys?"
"We snuck out with Kate and Avery."
Adam sighed. "Did you go by the garden shed?"
"No." John replied. "We went to the lake first and then we were going to go to the cabin in the woods. But we heard a scream and saw the fire and then we went to the shed."
"Alright. Kate, Avery. Can you confirm that?"
"Yes, sir." Kate said and Avery nodded.
"Phil and AJ where were you?"
"Sleeping."
"You were sleeping?"
"Yes."
"Alright. Now when Layla was killed where were you? Mike and John where were you?" Mike and John both looked at each other. "Guys, the point of this is to figure this out. You won't get in trouble for what you were doing."
"Cena and Kate were off fucking somewhere and Mike and Avery probably were too." Phil said with a huff.
"Not that it's any of your business but we haven't had sex yet. But yes, we were off together at the waterfall." Avery said glaring at him.
"Alright." Adam sighed. He figured that was what they were doing. He had read all the files on the kids. "Phil, AJ where were you while Layla was gone from the group and the others were together. I know where everyone was when Kaitlyn was killed. Well except you and AJ Phil. So where were each of you during each death?"
"I went for a walk at the theater. I needed to get out of there and away from those two." He said pointing at Avery and Mike.
"And when Layla died?"
"I followed them to the waterfall and watched them kissing for a few minutes. Then I went for a walk and met up with AJ."
He looked from Phil to AJ. "So for each death you were together?"
"Yes." Phil replied. "But we didn't kill them."
"It just seems weird that you two were together for every death."
"Cena and Kate were together as well as Mike and Avery. Maybe they killed everyone.
"We weren't standing in the bushes whacking off while people made out. You're a creepy, losery stalker who likes fire. And how many things have ended in fire this week?" Mike said snapping at Phil.
"Enough. Obviously we aren't going to figure this out. The police are on their way and probably the mayor too." Adam said looking at Kate. "Your father wants to shut the camp down because of the deaths."
"I'm sorry." Kate replied.
"Alright, kids. Justin is going to take you all to the girls cabin and you will stay there until the cops come to question you."
They got up and headed to the cabin and walked inside. "Why do you care so much about where Avery was anyway?"
"Because I still care for her." Phil replied. "I always have and I always will."
"You really need to move on Phil." Mike said as he walked over to Avery.
Justin sighed as he looked around to the kids. He hoped nothing else happened. This was the craziest summer ever. Nothing like this had ever happened and he hoped it was all behind them and they would find out what was going on. He looked outside and sighed as he saw the multiple sets of headlights pulling down the driveway. He knew it was the police and if he was right, the mayor. He sighed. All of this could end Adam's dream and he hated it. This camp had helped so many kids. Would it continue to do so?
