The next day, Jake and Josh managed to arrive to History class 15 minutes before school started. The classroom was still quite empty, there was only about 5 people inside it. 

"So what are we going to do about this photo?" Josh asked as he pulled out the photo of the military base out of his bag.

"I don't know, by the way, do you think that there is a connection to my brother?" Jake asked back.

"I don't think so, yeah, maybe." Josh replied,

"What are you guys talking about?" A voice curiously asked.

Jake and Josh instantly looked around the class to find who's talking. Jake looked at the back and it turns out it was only Emma. She was the girl that sat behind Jake at History class, and she certainly had heard everything since Jake and Josh talks louder than an average person. Truly she was a bright person, no one hated her, she had white skin, brown long hair and she was always curious. 

"Ah, umm, nothing." Jake nervously replied as he swiftly put the the photos down to his pocket trying not to show her. 

"Hey whats that?" Emma asked,

"No its uhh, its just some photos from his last vacation!" Josh tried to lie.

"Oh come on quit lying." Emma said as she casually stretched her hand and grabbed the photos from Jake's pocket.

"Oh, whats this, a base?" Emma asked, the moment Emma looked at the photos she looked a bit surprised.

"Yes, just some military stuff." Josh lied again as he quickly snatched the photos.

"Wait, was it taken in the woods?" Emma asked again,

Jake thought about what to say for a few seconds, "Josh, should i tell her?" Jake whispered,

"Yeah, go ahead." Josh sigh.

"Yeah, it was taken in the woods, we just discovered the military base yesterday." Jake said,

"Woah cool! Why are you doing this? " Emma replied with amazement.

"Uhh, we are just trying to find something." Jake nervously replied as he looked at Josh for a second. 

"Find what?" Emma asked.

"A monster, maybe it had something to do with the missing children i don't know."

"Come on stop lying." Emma said.

"I'm not lying!" Jake replied as he started to get slowly annoyed. At that moment, the bell rang and school has started, the History teacher walked into the classroom slowly putting on her round glasses. The teacher took out a key from her pocket and locked the classroom door.
