As Austin continues, he has a nagging feeling that he is being watched. Soon enough he makes his way to the final ½ mile of the yard when literally out of nowhere there is a scream and a sinister laugh.

"Anyone Else Hear that?" Austin asked on the radio.

"Yeah, I hear something like a cackle in the distance" I responded.

"I'm going move towards the sound origin. Meet me there." Matt said.

"Alright. Out" Austin and I stated.

Austin runs to a somewhat accurate area and begins to search for the origins of the two sounds. As soon as I arrive Matt comes hauling ass towards us.

"What's got you moving that fast?" I asked.

"Hahaha. I was just trying to get here fast." Matt sarcastically responded.

We started a box search for the sound origin. Soon enough Matt found the person who

had cried out.

"Found It!!!"

"What was it?" I asked.

"A female." He responded.

"Austin you're the medic. Get over there." I yelled.

"Mam what is your name?" Austin asked.

"Brooklyn" she said.

"Anyone know this girl?" Matt asked.

"Wait a second, where are you going?" Austin asked.

"I'll be back in about 15 min." I yelled.

"Alright then." Matt said.

"Why are you inside the walls? Well, better question; How did you get inside the walls?" Austin asked.

"Well, you see what happened was I was being stupid and didn't realize that there were walls on the property. So, when they arose from the ground and when I saw that I wondered why on God's green earth there walls were coming out of the ground. Then I became curious as to why there were walls required in the first place." Brooklyn explained.

"So, who do you know out of the three of us? Because I haven't met you and Doc over there doesn't know you. Does Andrew know you?" Matt asked.

"Yes, Andrew knows me. I don't know why he just ran. However, in one of the previous years he was at a summer camp, and we met while doing activities there. After the camp we kinda stayed in touch but we haven't talked in a while." She said.

"Okay."

"So, I didn't see anything that looks broken. Does anything hurt?" Austin asked.

"Ummmm. Nothing really hurts so I guess I am fine." Brooklyn stated.

As I run away, you may be thinking, why are you running away? That is stupid, you know the girl, just talk to her. However, you are wrong. I am running to get something. I reach a VTOL aircraft. No, it is not an F-35 II or a Harrier. Something even better. It is my helicopter. My "medicinal and recreational" Bell UH-1 Huey. Vietnam style too. As I turn on my NAV lights, I start the engines and the blades start turning. After reaching the optimal throttle on I pull up on the collective and start my return to their position. As I approach, I start to drop in altitude to get closer to my landing zone.

"Hey, do you hear that?" Austin asked.

"Yeah, I hear that, what is that?" Brooklyn asked.

"Hold on. POPPING A LZ SMOKE!!!!!!" Matt yells.

Over the trees I comebarreling in at 129 KNTS and I flip around doing a 180 degree turn and land sowe can evac Brooklyn back to the makeshift medical tent/command post. As welift off I look into the woods and see a small pair of two yellow eyes and thenthey disappear after reaching altitude to return back to the house.
