"It looks like it could be some kind of perspective distortion." Bailey, who was standing opposite from them, looked up as he sighed and turned to face Nancy. With remorse, he returned the picture to her. "but I wasn't using the wide angle. I don't know."

"And you're sure you didn't see anyone else out there?" Nancy asked as she took the picture.

"The cops think that she ran away.""

She didn't feel at ease at the party." Bailey interrupted, drawing their attention. "However, I don't think she would vanish completely."

Nancy's insides only grew more void. "But they don't know Barb. And I went back to Steve's...and I thought I..." Nancy furrowed her brows, ready to receive the truth. Her voice had become tremulous, as if it were trying to keep her from acknowledging something that even she found absurd. "Some strange man or... I had no idea what it was.

Bailey and Jonathan were listening to everything she said, so there was a small pause in conversation. "I apologise. I shouldn't have come here today." She snatched her bag off the floor and quickly got up from the bench, bailey trailing behind. "I'm-I'm so sorry."

"What'd he look like?" They both stopped as they turned back to him. "This man you saw in the woods. What'd he look like?"

"I don't know," Nancy stammered. "It was almost like he- he didn't have..."

"Didn't have a face?" He finished for her.

"How did you know that?" Nancy whispered, Bailey was perplexed about what was going on and glanced between them. However, something informed him that he would not be returning to his room for some time.

Jonathan was working, and the three of them were gathered together in the darkroom. Bailey remained silent, watching him go quickly and praying that the procedure could progress a bit more quickly. "And you're..." Nancy trailed off.

"Brightening and enlarging the picture," he mumbles as he fiddled with things.

"Did your mom say anything else? Like, um, where it might have gone to, or..." she trailed off.

"No, just that it came out of the wall," Jonathan whispered.

"How long does this take?" Bailey was growing weary of Nancy questioning him.

Jonathan fiddled some more, still glancing at the photographs. "Not long."

"Have you been...doing this a while?"

"I guess I'd rather observe people than, you know..." Jonathan trailed off.

"Talk to them." Nancy finished his sentence.

"I know. It's weird." Nancy shakes her head in response to Jonathan's grumble, but Bailey can't help but find it a little strange. "It's just, sometimes...people don't really say what they're really thinking. But you capture the right moment... it says more."

"What was I saying?" Nancy inquired. "When you took my picture."

Embarrassed, he had turned away, "I ought not to have accepted that. I apologise for what I did. Just that..."

Nancy stopped him off as she saw the picture come together, her eyes widening."That's it...That's what I saw.

Jonathan had leant in to view the horror in front of them, and guilt had swept over him. "My mom...I thought she was crazy 'cause she said...that's not Will's body. That he's alive."

Looking at the photos himself, Bailey was perplexed as to what was going on and concluded, "so these creatures or whatever they are took Will, which means his alive." He said, attempting to comprehend the situation.

Nancy mumbled something. She was grinning now that she had provided them with a solution to help them determine what had really been going on. Jonathan, though, seems to feel the same sort of relief. Bailey, however, had felt disoriented and confused and wished he had known what was going on.

Little did he know, he was about to go on the weirdest adventure of his life.
