Grayson: I should be 15 minutes away from Red Wood Forest.
Grayson thinks for a moment
Grayson: *sigh* Maybe I should've asked for help. I mean, I don't know what I'm getting into, and once May finds out I lied, she'll know somethings up. Loona will too.
Grayson keeps regretting his decision in his head until he realizes he needs a gas station.
Grayson: I have been driving for awhile. I could use a fill up and maybe a snack.
Grayson looks up where the nearest station is is finds there one in 10 minutes, right outside of Red Wood Forest
In Vortexs car...
Loona: No wonder I've never heard of this place. It's far.
Vortex: No worries, we're almost there. Although we may need a gas station
Malaya: Maybe Grayson will too
Loona: Oh yeah good thinking! Where is the nearest gas station?
Malaya pulls out her phone and Googles it
Malaya: There's one in roughly 8 minutes. It looks like it's right outside of the Forest
Vortex: Wait a minute. Is that...
Loona and Malaya look in front of them where Vortex is looking
Loona: That's Graysons Jeep!
Malaya: Yay!
Vortex: I bet he's  going to that gas station. Let's follow him
Vortex keeps his car a good distance away from Graysons but also keeps him in sight
5 minutes later
Grayson: Ah here's the gas station
Grayson turns into gas station as Vortex follows
Grayson gets out of his car and fills it up and goes into the gas station as Vortex and the others decide to wait at his car
Grayson grabs some skittles, Mike&Ikes, Gummy Bears, and Sour Patch kids along with some soda
Grayson pays for all the stuff and heads outside, only to see the three waiting by his car talking
Grayson slaps his face
Grayson: I really should've expected this
Grayson walks towards the group
Loona looks to her left
Loona: Well, look who it is
Malaya and Vortex turn around
Grayson: *Nervously chuckles* What's up?
Malaya: Why don't you tell us?
Grayson: Right...
Grayson sighs
Grayson: I'm sorry guys. After I heard about all the disappearances I wanted to go right away, especially after I got a call from the big guy himself telling me to investigate. I figured all of you would be asleep and I didn't wanna worry you so early in the morning, let alone drag you all the way to some weird forest you've never heard of. Hell, I didn't even know this place. But I really did regret my choices, especially after what Malaya said to me earlier. I hope you can understand and forgive me.
Grayson looks down to await their response or think of anything else he should say, but then he felt arms around around him, followed by others
Malaya: Don't worry about it, luv.
Loona: Yeah, you were just trying to protect us
Vortex: But just remember that even us tough guys need someone to protect us sometimes.
The group laughs
Grayson feels great relief
Grayson: Thanks, guys. Im really glad you're here.
Loona: Of course! We wouldn't let anything happen to the General of the W.O.L.F. Army
Loona winks
The groups hugs for a bit before paying for their gas
Grayson: So what do we do about Vortexs car? Do we wanna take two cars into the forest?
Vortex looks at his car and think for a second
Vortex: I could just send it back to the garage and we can pile up in your car.
Grayson: Sounds good.
Vortex: Alright, one sec.
Vortex pushes a button on his car and it teleports to the W.O.L.F. Army Garage
Grayson: Alright, let's head out.
The group agrees and gets in Graysons Jeep as they drive off
Loonas in the passenger seat
Loona: Have you thought of any reason they campers went missing? Or do you not want to talk about it?
Grayson: Nah, it's fine. Um...
Grayson thinks for a moment
Vortex: Do you think they...?
Grayson: I don't wanna think that, but I really don't know. Maybe they just got stuck somewhere.
Malaya: Yeah, let's go with that. I don't wanna go into these place being bummed.
Loona: Yeah. Right. My bad.
Grayson: Nah, it's cool. It may be a good idea to think about what we could be up against.
Vortex: Yeah.
The group stays silent for a bit before it starts to rain heavily and Thunder
Vortex: That's odd, it was supposed to be perfect weather today.
Loona and Malaya: Yeah
Grayson: I got a weird feeling about this
The group stays silent as they continue on until they are met with a thick concrete wall
Grayson: What the?
Loona: What's that?
Loona points to something above the wall as the others look up
The heavy rain makes it hard to make out before Grayson drives a bit closer
Lightning provides flashes of light to help the group figure out what their looking at
It was a sign with damaged and missing letters, but the Lightning lit the way
The sign read, "Welcome to Red Wood Forest! Feel free to stay awhile!"
As the group read the sign, the concrete wall opened
