Chapter 16: We Found Out How He Did It

"Let's go."

Woods and I turned to Matt, who was now storming away from the Mountaineer. I looked over to CJ, as if to ask what's wrong, but he just started following Matt. I looked to Woods, confused, only to see the same expression on his face.

We began to follow him, still confused.

"What about-" I started, "this is your car!"

"Just leave it," Matt snapped, turning to us, "there's nothing in that car that I care about." He turned back around and continued walking.

Woods and I followed with CJ taking the rear. While Woods tried to talk to Matt, I kept turning to CJ.

"CJ, what's up with Matt?"

He just shrugged. I had a feeling that he knew more than he was letting on.

As I continued to slightly pester CJ, Matt had stopped momentarily for the rest of us to catch up. As we reached him, he said, "You have something to tell me?"

"What?" We both replied. He was definitely speaking to Woods, which made me feel uneasy.

"CJ, what is Matt talking about?"

He remained silent for a moment before answering. "I don't know if Matt wants me to say."

What?

"What are you talking about?"

CJ just shrugged again. I groaned inwardly and turned back to Matt and Woods' conversion.

"I don't know, man, things aren't adding up." Matt muttered.

"What are you talking about?" Woods asked.

Matt finally came to a stop. We both stared at him in anticipation and confusion.

"You've been here before."

"Yeah, I've been here before, told you," Woods replied, "like in high school."

There was a slightly uncomfortable amount of silence before I broke it.

"What do you think is happening here?" Matt broke into nervous laughter. A new trait that became so normal.

"I don't know, guys," he replied, "I honestly don't know."

Woods pointed back toward spooky house. "You think this area is... I don't know, I don't know what your attitude is." He also let out a nervous chuckle. "This is coming from absolutely nowhere."

"I'm confused." Matt said, as if that would answer all our questions. "I'm actually confused, because tracing back to everything you were the one that told me immediately there's a spooky house we should go check it out, that's exactly where the tracker stopped working."

Woods dropped his arms and lowly said, "So you think I'm involved."

I don't know if you're involved," Matt cried.

"Just out of no where," Woods mumbled.

"I feel like I don't have all the information."

"We don't have all the information," I cried, "we're all on the same page. We all know..." I paused and turned to CJ. Then, something in the back of my mind whispered to me, but I couldn't make it out. Then, it clicked.

"What did Kevin say?" I asked CJ.

"It was your fob." I heard Matt admit.

I whipped around.

"What was my fob?" Woods questioned.

"It was your fob, he used your fob."

"I have my fob, he didn't use my fob. I have my fob right here." Woods reached into his pocket, pulled out his wallet, then pulled his fob out and showed Matt.
