Toby and Axel anxiously waited for their parents to come and pick them up from this nightmare of a night. "I've been thinking", Axel began as the police cars began to depart the scene. What?", Toby asked, watching the sun start to emerge. "We have to act normal", Axel said, "We still have to hang out ad be buddies. It will look too suspicious if we just decided to stop being friends". Toby nodded in agreement, "You're finally using that brain of yours", he joked. Axel smiled and gently pushed his friend. He watched kids depart from the campsite and it was soon just a group of 5 waiting to be picked up. Toby's dad showed up in his new Mercedes Benz to pick his son up. "I'll see you at school then", Toby said, grabbing his bag and waving goodbye to Axel, who wasn't sure if his mom or dad would ever show up to pick him up. It had been a fucked up night, but Axel and Toby could breathe a sigh of relief; they weren't suspects.

Holden guessed he finally fell asleep as the next thing he knew two police officers were standing over him. "Get up, kid", one of them said in a strong Texan accent. Holden roused himself out of his sleepy state and tried his best to wake up as quickly as possible. The other officer, who was smaller than the Texan, gave Holden his breakfast; a small carton of milk, and a sandwich with nasty looking ham and cheese. Holden took the sandwich and tried his best to force it down, but couldn't. "Come on, we don't have all day", the Texan said. Holden got up and got his shoes on which the officers had brought in. He was handcuffed and brought into an interview room. Holden denied the right to a lawyer present, he had nothing to hide. "The time is 11:07 a.m.", the smaller office said, whose name was Bubba and had blue eyes and brown hair. "Okay", the Texan said, getting his notes, whose name was Robert and also had brown hair and a big brown moustache but he had green eyes. "So", Robert began, leaning forward, "4 people are dead and all signs are pointing to you. Care to tell us about last night?". Holden gulped, it was time to let everything off his chest.
