Entering in through the entrance of the neighboring small town of Oakbrooke Haven, Thomas had been in the tow truck with Tito for this entire trip as the truck had passed the towns population sign.

Welcome to Oakbrooke Haven founded since 1678 population number: 900,000 people.

They had now entered the town and Thomas had looked around and to his shock the last time Thomas had left because due to a bad history that he tried to forget, the look of the town had remained the same for it's look and therefore wasn't to surprised for his amusement.

The town of Oakbrooke Haven had basically looked like a dark Midwestern small town from like a Stephen King story that he read growing up the town itself was founded in 1678 as the towns sign had read and was named after two guys simply being Richard Oakbrooke and Leslie Haven who then died to an unfortunate incident later in 1788 this town seemed like the type of town in a horror film that looks like strange shit would happen in and of course and of course what had happened recently with Joshua.

(Meanwhile)
"Hey sénior we'll take of the cars repair it's gonna be a long process, so sì do you have a place to stay at?" Tito had asked.

At the tow yard Thomas had waited outside the tow yard and the night air had came to feel cold and a slight chilly atmosphere, where as then the longer he waited he had the slight unnerving feeling of something watching him as he stood there and stared off into the distance as he saw a long black rubber hose like arm with a white glove attached slither behind a wall of an old abandoned building.

A hand came down onto Thomas's shoulder and he turned and jumped as then Tito had just said "Hey Thomas I just got off the phone with the others after I'm done here all of us can meet up and go somewhere, maybe like a bar or something?"

"Yeah sure, I could use a beer or something, I mean I got nothing better to do." Thomas had said.

"Alright I'll close up shop here and we can go on our way out!" Tito said.

Tito had closed up shop for the night and so therefore him and Thomas had drove their way to meet up with Sara, Eric, Andre, and Samantha, however when they arrived at the nearest bar they both parked in the parking lot and they both walked and made conversation about what to do when they all had met up.

(Meanwhile)
Two teenagers named Otis and Sal had explored around in a abandoned shopping mall the place was all dirty, filthy, and grimey, graffiti had been sprayed everywhere and windows had been broken and replaced with wooden boards.

"Otis I don't think we should be in here, this is kinda what would be called trespassing on private property!" Sal had basically said.

"Sal don't be such a fucking pussy, nobody knows we're here, noone saw us enter it's not like the cops are gonna get called!!!" Otis had said and yeah they weren't the most likable people in the most case.

They both explored around the abandoned mall and looked for something to pictures of since one of them had a camera on them and the other had a flashlight, they both found nothing and they were just about to call it off and head back to there parents for the night but then suddenly clear as day one of them heard old 1930's cartoon music playing off in the distance since the mall was empty the sound gave an eerie echoing effect they both headed towards the sound and had split off into two different directions.

Otis had went left and Sal had went right to go find the sound.

Sal had walked down a long corridor and followed the sound and but had found nothing to it, as of now he continued to explore as a then a black shadow had flash by his peripheral vision and shined the flashlight over to the area and shouted "Otis is that you?" Sal stood there and waited for a response but got nothing he turned back around and head his way back to Otis and soon finally they ended up meeting back up with each other and they both agreed to get the fuck out.

As they were both walking away talking to each other about the weird sound and how creepy the mall is after night and since you know it was abandoned just as they were head off towards the door suddenly as it happened a large sickle shaped appendage had swung down out of nowhere from above and had stabbed right through Otis and blood had splashed everywhere and on Sal's face, Otis was then pulled up and to Sal's shock he looked up and saw large bulgy white cartoon eyes with black pupils and heard a moaning sound it sounded sinister and Sal himself had screamed and ran towards the door of course the sudden tug of a white glove cartoon hand had violently pulled Sal by his leg and had ripped it from the socket clean off blood spraying everywhere like crazy Sal had fell to tile floor he coughed blood and dragged himself away from the door and soon the thing that he saw a little bit of had jumped down behind him from the blackest void from above him.

Sal had turned to the thing that killed and took his friend and what he had seen terrified him, it remained as tall as 12 feet tall and it was the infamous Cartoon Cat itself, it walked it's way over to Sal and stepped on his other leg breaking the bone in it Sal had screamed in pain he screamed for help but since noone knew where he was at that unfortunately wouldn't come to be available as he had hoped as then he watched as Cartoon Cat had bent over and picked up Sal as he screamed and begged for mercy but that only made him more helpless as then sooner nor later Cartoon Cat had opened his mouth and bit down onto Sal's head biting it off of his shoulders killing him instantly.

Cartoon Cat had then dropped Sal's body and dragged it off into the forbidden shadows of the mall to feed on it.

Just then later the mall had fell into painful silence as Cartoon Cat had claimed two more victims.

(Meanwhile)
The clashing of beer glasses as Thomas and Tito had celebrated and mourned the loss of their friend Joshua Stonebrook.

"Maaaan it sucks ass he had to go like that, he was a good friend too!!!" Andre said.

"Yeah, I kinda miss him already!" Samantha had said.

"Well, it's like it's been said once someone dies their life passes on!" Tito had said and everyone else had agreed and clashed their beer glasses one more time, Thomas had ordered another round from the bar tender Betty Hewitt and was served another pitcher of a round of crusade beer.

They all talked as Eric had sat there silently grieving about their loss.

Eventually everyone had gotten so drunk Tito was however sober enough still despite the amount of beer he had drank, and so on he had to drive Thomas back to Tito's house to stay for the night since Thomas had nowhere to go.

Sooner the next morning nobody would remember what had happened because of how wasted they all had gotten.
