The next morning, Carlos wakes up feeling back to his regular self much to the relief of his three best buddies.
"I want to go for a morning jog and enjoy the nature trail," He randomly announces, walking into the kitchen.
"Ok…," Kendall replies not expecting him to say that.
Are we allowed to eat breakfast first Mr. Bossy Pants?
"Of course silly!" Carlos laughs and runs to the couch to watch Spongebob.
"I think he's feeling better." Logan points out, smiling.
"SpongeBob has never failed to make him happy." James says, agreeing.
After freshening up they all go outside.
"I hear an animal dying!" Carlos says, taking off towards the source of the sound.
"Wait what?" Kendall calls after him confused, as he, James and Logan follow along.
"That raccoon we saw the other night just died." Carlos says to his buddies, who are breathing hard from running for so long
"We're 5 miles away from the cabin and you heard this little raccoon dying after being attacked?" James says in disbelief.
"Yes." Carlos replies back.
"Attacked by what?" Kendall asks.
"The same evil dog who bit my hand. Look at the claw marks. They're the same." Carlos says.
Logan looks carefully at the injuries and realizes they're identical. He looks at all his friends and nods his head.
"Carlos is right," He says.
These injuries are creepily accurate with one another.
"What should we do? Call the police?" James asks.
"Not yet. It's almost Halloween. They're going to think we're pranking them. We don't have any evidence of this mysterious dog. We need pictures and videos. A dead raccoon in the woods is a normal thing. If we cause trouble here we'll never hear the end of it from Gustavo." Kendall explains.
"I remember how much begging we did to finally convince him to let us even stay out here. We can't betray his trust. He's already hard enough to deal with on a regular basis. I don't want to go through all that tyrannical yelling over something like this. We'll have to figure this out ourselves." Logan says, agreeing.
They return to the cabin to eat lunch. When he's done eating Logan goes back outside to find some birds to take pictures of.
"Where are you going Logie?" Carlos asks, following him.
"Bird watching. I promised Camille I would take pictures of some for her." The small brunette replies.
"Can I come please?" Carlos says.
"Can you stay quiet while I work to not scare them away?" Logan asks
"Yeah." Carlos says, getting excited.
"Okay, then come on," Logan says, hoping not to regret his choice.
After walking for 10 minutes, they hear chirping and look up in the sky to see a few flying around. Carlos quickly becomes bored and wanders a short distance away to look at some leaves on the ground.
"You ok Carlitos?" The shorter teen whispers, looking around for him. He's shocked when he sees what he's doing.
Back in the cabin their taller band mates have kept themselves occupied waiting for them to return.
"How do you think their bird watching adventure is going?" Kendall says, while reading a hockey magazine on the couch.
"Hopefully they're not arguing but I'm sure everything is fine." James says, doing push ups on the floor.
After ten minutes, they hear Logan yelling at Carlos and see them walking back to the cabin.
"Whoa, guys. What's wrong?" Kendall says, surprised by their moods.
"He is absolutely disgusting!" Logan answers back angrily.
"What did he do this time?" James says, walking over to them.
"I caught him peeing on a tree! Like he's some kind of Neanderthal! We weren't that far from the cabin! He could've walked back but decided to act like the entire woods is his personal bathroom!" Logan says still in utter disgust.
"Amigo, why would you do that?" Kendall says.
"I was marking my territory to keep out other evil dogs." Carlos casually says.
They silently stare at him for 30 seconds in disbelief and shock. Not knowing how to respond to his weird answer.
"I can't even pretend that made sense." James says.
"Did you actually get to take any pictures Logan?" Kendall asks.
"I only got about three. I'm going back out ALONE this time." Logan says glaring at Carlos.
"I'm sorry. I don't know what's wrong with me." Carlos says.
"I don't know either but you need to figure it out!" Logan angrily replies, leaving out.
"He hates me." Carlos sadly says, sitting on the couch.
"He doesn't hate you amigo. He just really wants to get those pictures done for Camille." Kendall says, comfortingly rubbing his shoulder.
"I didn't mean to upset him." Carlos says.
"We know buddy." James says.
After two hours Logan returns in a better mood.
"I'm sorry about earlier Logan. What I did was very inappropriate and I should've came back to the cabin. I don't know why I did it. Something in my brain just triggered me to. Like it was my natural instinct." Carlo says.
"I've had time to calm down. I'm not mad anymore. I'm ok and you're ok." Logan says.
"Thanks Logie, I appreciate that."
Carlos says, hugging him.
