Odessa was confused as to why Mike ordered all of them to gather in the woods at Coyote Creek the next day, but what she did know was that she felt extremely uncomfortable being there. "Why did we have to come here again? We already won," Hailey spoke her thoughts. "I could be shopping right now for Barcelona."
"We're here for support, Hails," Oliver told her.
"You and Dess are here for support. Gray and I are already locked in," she said and the couple smiled in unison.
Odessa rolled her eyes. "Lighten up, Hailey. We can go shopping after. I need a really good going out dress. Ooh, let's go to Macy's."
"Enough girl talk, you two. You can do that later. That's not what we're here for," Johnny said loudly.
Hailey scoffed. "Just because it takes you all of ten seconds to look like that doesn't mean that's how it is for us."
The man narrowed his eyes at her. "For your information, Cooper, it takes a lot of time to get my hair to look like this," he stated and pointed to his blonde hair.
Christian passed by them and laughed. "You should'be seen his hair routine when we were teenagers," he pointed out.
Grayson hummed. "You should see mine."
"Good morning!" Mike announced, standing on top of one of the picnic tables. "At least for now. Gather around. Is everybody here?"
"Unfortunately," Hailey muttered and leaned against Grayson's side.
Odessa grabbed Eli's hand and wrapped her arm around his, smiling at him softly. The boy responded with a smile, but he was anxious as well.
"Yes, this is everyone," Daniel confirmed.
Mike nodded. "Good. I reviewed my notes, made sure the remaining four got a fair shake," he told the teammates. "I've decide it's too close to call. So. . .you're all gonna get another opportunity to prove yourselves."
Odessa was shocked. "Do we have to do it here?" She questioned, looking around the open woods that brought back terrible memories.
Johnny sucked in a breath. "Oh shit, didn't even think about that." He realized.
Eli cringed and he squeezed her hand.
"You will follow this path," Mike continued and pointed to the path behind him. "It will split and it's up to you to decide which path to go down. Down each path is one flag. The two who brings them back wins."
Oliver released a breath. "That's not intimidating at all," he uttered sarcastically, casting Demetri a quick glance.
"Wait, that's it?" Eli questioned, his eyebrows pinching together. "What happens if two of us find a flag at the same time?"
