Mitch and Tiff continued to walk Sammy, Darius, and Y/N through the jungle, now being threatened by the shock prod.

The sky grew darker by the minute as Darius led them all supposedly in the direction of the watering hole.

Mitch and Tiff begin to bicker behind the three teens, leaving them oblivious when Sammy starts formulating a plan.

"Okay, step one is take their guns away," She explains in a hushed tone, "What do we do after that?"

Sammy glances at the two boys, their faces carrying anxious expressions.

"We run." Darius murmurs.

"But what if the T. Rex shows up?" Sammy's eyebrows knit together.

"Run faster." Y/N huffs.

Mitch suddenly interrupts the unproductive conversation.

"Hey!" He shouts at them, "How much farther to the watering hole?"

The campers turn around to face the two adults, "And what are you brats whispering about?" Mitch grumbles.

"I was just saying," Darius hesitates, "It's right through here!"

Tiff gasps, "We're here!"

Y/N turns to face Darius, studying his expression. Y/N had realized they weren't going to the watering hole quite a bit ago, seeing as he'd already been there with Darius and Kenji. What Y/N couldn't figure out was where they were actually going.

They all follow Darius for the next few steps. When the final brush is pushed away it reveals... Main Street?

That's not right. Darius had to have been leading them somewhere important. He had to have a plan.

But it's not like Y/N could ask him now. So, he just stood there, hoping for something to come out of this.

"This isn't the watering hole." Mitch points out flatly.

His tone of voice would have probably gotten a good laugh out of Y/N if it weren't for the circumstances.

"Does this look like the watering hole, babe?" Mitch asks through gritted teeth.

"Sure doesn't, babe." Tiff fumes.

Sammy shoots Darius and Y/N a worried look.

Mitch and Tiff slowly begin approaching the three teens, shock prods in hand.

The kids back away, scared of what might happen next.

"Do you think this is some kind of joke!?" Tiff shouts, swinging her prod at the trio in a threatening manner.

"It's... just through this--"

"Don't lie to me, Darius." Mitch shakes his head.

Electricity crackles from the prods as the kids are backed into a shelf.

"You little liars!" Tiff cries, her face looking even more terrifying than it usual is.

Just as the adults are closing in on them, Darius shouts, "Now!"

Darius and Sammy push over the bookshelf, knocking Mitch and Tiff to the ground and sending the gun case flying.

Y/N immediately makes a move for the case and starts sprinting, Darius and Sammy close behind.

The villans are quick to get to their feet as Tiff lets out a shriek, "They took the guns! Brats!"

If Mitch responded, the kids didn't hear it.

They were long gone. Sprinting without looking back.

"The plan... it actually... worked!" Sammy shouts through labored breaths.
