"Where did Eric's team go?" Christina asks

"They must have gone to the end" Will says

"All right. Lights off. Gather around. Come on." Four says putting the yellow neon flag in his jacket. "Okay, what's your strategy?" He asks

"We can hide the flag well enough so they can't find it" someone says

"Let's send out a team to scout their location. See if we can find their flag" someone else says

"I say we blitz them."

"Yeah, that's the best way to lose quickly" Al says

"Let's make them come to us"

"End this quickly. They won't expect it"

"We don't know where they are. Okay, we split into two groups, defense and offense." Christina says

"Who put you in charge?"

"Someone has to make a decision" Christina says

"We need to be more aggressive"

"We need to be smart about it" Will says. Everyone continues to argue in the distance I see a Ferris wheel I slip away from the group and jog over to it. I look up at how tall it was and began climbing it.

"You're not gonna jump, are you?" I suddenly hear I look down past my shoulder and see Four at the bottom of the Ferris wheel.

"No, I'm just trying to get a good vantage point" I say continuing to climb.

"Good thinking" he says beginning to climb behind me.

"You don't have to come with me" I say

"You should go easy. You took a beating" he says

"I'm surprised you noticed. I saw you leave during the fight" I say

"Yeah, well, it's not something I wanted to watch" he says something runs through my body another warm feeling. What is he doing to me? Suddenly the metal bar below my feet break and I fall but Four was behind me and caught me grabbing my waist. My shirt rose up a bit causing his fingers to touch my cold skin.

"You okay?" He asks

"Yeah. I'm fine." I say continuing on

"This is high enough" he says with a grunt.

"No, we need to go higher" I say, I look down to see Four is looking down at how high up we are. "You all right?" I ask he looks up at me and then back down again. "You're afraid of heights" I say

"Everyone's afraid of something" he says

"I didn't think you were afraid of anything" I say

"Come on, 13" he grunts I ignore him and continue to climb I reach the middle but still couldn't see anything so I continued.

"Really? Are you even human?" He asks finally I reach the point I felt good in and looked out.

"This isn't so bad" I say panting. "Look! There it is" I say pointing out to where you can see a blue neon flag in the distance.

"Good eye" he says "All right. What's your game plan?" He asks

"We split into two groups. We'll go up this side and let the rest of you engage Eric" I say

"I can see em" someone says

"Go! Go!" Another shouts

"Light em up" Four says people on our team light up the flares and throw them so the other team couldn't see us as well.
