Danger force was exciting Ray was taking the group on a weekend school event to camp out in the woods. The team was all prepared when they arrived for a fun time in swellview forest being away from crime for a weekend and spending time with each other away from other distractions. They all grabbed their bags and a hiking stick as they started their journey from the man's nest to the woods, with schwoz waving them off. 

When they made it to the edge of the woods Ray paused as a wave of uncertainty came over him, he had a bad feeling about this place but he didnt know why. To his knowledge nothing bad ever happened in the wood, but he felt as though there was something off about the woods. The team stood there staring at ray, "Ray, are you going to just stand there or are you going to take us camping?" Chapa said in a questioning tone. Ray turned to chapa staring into open space. He knew he promised to take them but he also wanted to make sure they were safe. "Ye-a-a i don't know what got over me, Let's  GO!" Ray said as he led them into the woods. As they were walking Mika felt like someone was watching them, she kept looking around but she could not see anything out of place. As they continued on the path Miles saw a rock about to hit him, he dropped to the ground barely missing the rock, "YO who threw that rock?" Miles screamed at the others . The others looked around before MIka responded, "No one threw a rock at you?" curiosity in her tone. The bits of fear in Ray kept growing in chunks as new things happened but he didn't want to let them down.

As they journeys further down the trail, Ray paused looking at the ground as something dropped under the leaves. Ray got down pushing the leafs away finding a camera. Upon inspection he could see it was an action camera, "Yo why did you stop? What did you find?" Chapa asked, curious. Ray didn't know what to say as he looked around, "Uh let's go to the cabin." ray said, pointing to a small unused cabin that was close to them off the trail. Mika looked at Ray to see if he was serious," I don't think we should do that," Mika said to her friends as they followed Ray to the cabin. Mika didn't want to be alone out having no other choice she followed them to the cabin. When the group got closer they could see the cabin looked abandoned with a broken window, when they got inside Ray immediately sat down checking out the camera as the team secured the inside of the cabin for any suspicious items. When they were finished Bose locked the door as the team gathered around Ray to see what he found. Ray looked at the camera turning it on seeing that it had two videos on it, he wanted to be careful with what was on it and what the team saw, "uh I don't want to be mean but can you guys wait before i show it to you?" ray asked, trying to protect them. They were hesitant but agreed not having a choice in it. Ray pulled up the videos to see that one video was filmed a week ago and then the second video filmed on the day and the thumbnail looked like them from behind. Ray fear got the best of him but he was curious, clicking play on the second video. seeing the group walking through the woods, a rock being thrown and what looked to be a creature then the camera being thrown and shutting down as he could see his own face looking at it. He was shaken about the video looking out the broken window seeing the moon glowing throw the sky. The team was trapped in the abandoned cabin with a random creature around them. Before Ray was going to see anything he went to check the first video he pressed play.

The camera jumped to life with volume, Ray could see a group of kids walking through the forest hearing the leaves crumbling under each foot step. The kids started to run, screams echoed out of the speakers with bodies falling. The team was intrigued by the sound and went behind ray watching. They watched as a creature came into viewpoint covered in blood, the creature's blood growl echoed out of the speakers, followed by blood and parts of bodies falling onto the lens of the camera.

Ray paused not realizing the others were watching, the teens were shaken trying not to show it but being tightly packed around each other. Ray had two options: either build base at the cabin and hope they are safe or risk being attacked like the kids in the video and running to escape the woods. Ray wanted the best option to keep the teens safe but he didnt think they were safe in the cabin and he knew they would not be safe running back. He could hear something circling the cabin, Ray grabbed the team pulling them closer to him trying to hide. He could hear as something  got close to the cabin scratching wood, turning around from the door. They could hear the growling getting closer, then within a second the sound of a gunshot echoed from outside followed by the sound of a wounded creature running off. Ray slowly got up taking a peak out of the window seeing a pickup truck light brightening the cabin and a shadow of a midget with a pistol aimed at the door, Ray pointed to the corner of the cabin whispering for the team to go there as ray slowly opened the door to see who was outside. When Ray got outside the door he was shocked to see schwoz. When he was close he saw Schwoz face turn from joy to fear faster than the injured creature running away, "what-what-what are you doing here?" schwoz asked Ray , "uh remember here to camp, what are you here for?" ray said, questioning schwoz, Schwoz was hesitant on what to say, "Well I'm really not here about that creature but we better get you guys out before that creature comes back." 

Ray was not taking any of what schwoz said but knew he was right, "yo schwoz before we go one joke on them." ray whispered to schwoz. Schwoz knew what ray was talking about and didn't not what to go through with it but in long run saw no choice. Causing him to aimed the pistol at Ray, "GET OUT OF HERE NOW, you're trespassing on my land." Schwoz yelled in his best english, ray rolled his eyes at Schwoz. saying loud enough for the team to hear, "okay just don't shoot me." Ray paused waiting for schwoz to shoot and as he did he screamed in pain as the bullets hit him dropping to the ground. The team listened to Ray scream running out about to attack the person they thought was a stranger, forget ray was indestructible and fine until their eyes adjusted seeing schwoz standing in front of the truck with ray and schwoz laughing. Chapa punched Ray with tears rolling down her eyes as all four teens screamed, "your mean dude!" Ray and schwoz stood there laughing until Schwoz remembered why he was out there, "okay done with the joke we gotta get out of here!" Schoz said as he dragged the teens and ray into the truck. Schwoz drove the truck as fast as he could barely escaping the woods from being attacked. Let the beast escape with his life wounded.
