The AH office was as quiet as ever, everyone doing their own work or playing a game to relieve their boredom. While they did whatever, Geoff checked news articles, feeling the need to read and curious about what's going on in the world.

After he read a few pages and was about to stop, he came across an interesting title. The title read, 'Mysterious Dissapearences strikes again.' The title somehow dragged Geoff to read, so he opened the page. The page told about three boys who went to a forest, which had been called Slendermans forest because of a 'man' someone saw inside the forest one day. Two of the three boys went into the forest, and after 10 hours, the two had not came back out. That was 2 days ago, and they were still no where to be found.

The mentioned forest was called Slendermans forest because of a boy who saw a man with a white, blank face. It wore a suit and tie with what the boy described as 'tentacles' shooting from it's back. A photo was never taken, but there are drawings all over the internet of what people think it would actually look like, hell there's even a game. No one really knew how it got the name of 'Slenderman,' but everyone seemed to like it, so it stuck.

"Watcha reading?" Geoff jumped when Michael's voice rang in his ear.

"Fuck, don't do that!" Geoff yelled, glaring at the lad who just smirked and chuckled in response.

"Im sorry princess," Michael mocked. Geoff just scowled at him, "so what were you reading?"

"None of your fucking buisness." Geoff barked at him, turning back to the screen, continuing to scroll through the page, not even reading at this point.

"Dam, fucking sulk about it."

Geoff growled, "I'm reading the news. Happy?"

"About?" Michael asked, leaning over Geoff's shoulder again. "That dam Slenderman myth?"

"You seemed pretty terrified of him when you played it a while ago." Geoff chuckled when Michael glared at him, but yelped when he got bit on the ear. "Ow! Motherfucker." Michael scoffed, taking Geoff's mouse from him and reading through the page.

"It's just a stupid prank these kids keep playing."

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah, there's no such thing as monsters, especially one that looks or sounds just stupid."

"You care to wager on that?"

Michael smirked, "sure, what's the bet?"

"We all go to the forest, if you piss your pants, I win and you have to pay me $500."

"And if I don't and it's just a dumb forest with nothing but bats and owls?"

"Then you win, and I'll pay you $500, deal?" Geoff held his hand out, his chair now facing Michael.

"Deal." Michael shook his hand, then pointed over his shoulder at the guys behind him with his thumb. "But why do they have to come?"

Geoff shrugs, "makes it fun, and theres witnesses. Plus, I'm the boss, what I say goes. Think of this as a one day vacation."

"It's a dumb vacation but whatever."

"We'll go tomorrow then, fair enough?"

"Good enough," Michael says, heading back to his chair, he was going to win this bet, there was no such thing as 'Slenderman' anyway.

Everyone piled into the van Geoff got from a friend, Geoff and Jack getting in front while the others went in the back.

"So where are we going?" Ryan asked, blinking away the temporary blindness Gavin gave him by shining his flashlight in his face.

"You'll have to find out," Michael smirked, Ryan giving him a weird look before yelling at Gavin to 'get the fucking flashlight out of his face!'

Gavin squeaked when Ryan tackled him after he continued to blind the man. "Knock it the fuck off!" Geoff yelled, looking back at the two. "I will not drive with you idiots wrestling in the back." Ryan growled at Gavin but got off, sitting back in his seat next to Ray, who was trying not to laugh his ass off, Michael doing the same.

The drive was long and surprisingly quiet, physically at least. There was yelling and fighting while they all played their DS or PSP games, fucking each other over. Michael was swearing his head off when Gavin shoved him, making him fall from a cliff for the hundredth time.

"Ok assholes, we're here!" Geoff yelled over Michael's loud voice. Everyone got out of the van, looking around in confusion.

"What the fuck is this? A hike or something?" Ryan as while he looked around, seeing nothing for miles, other than a deep, dense forest surrounded by a large brick wall.

"Oh fuck no, Ray don't do that shit." Ray retorted, already trying to get back in the van. Michael grabbed the back of the lads shirt, pulling him out.

"Your not getting out of this Ray! Besides, it's not a fucking hike."

"What is it then?" Jack asked, looking in the suns direction as it started to set.

"I'll explain," Geoff said, grabbing his flashlight and hooking it to his jeans. "Anyone heard of the Slenderman myth and the forest where many people have disappeared in?"

"Who hasn't?" Ryan answered.

"People without a TV or computer," Ray said.

"Who wouldn't have a bloody TV?" Gavin asked.

"Homeless," Jack chuckled.

"Alright then." Geoff said in an attempt to grab their attention, thankful it worked. "Well this is the forest. Michael and I made a bet that I can't be bothered explaining, so we are spending the next hour or so in there."

"Oh fuck no. I don't do dark and creepy places," Ray retorted.

"Dude, the only thing you do is sit in a room and play games!" Michael yelled.

"Exactly," Ray said back, making everyone but Geoff laugh or chuckle.

"So, because we are going in at night, we're splitting into two. Michael and Gav, Jack and I, and Ryan and Ray. Got that? Good. Let's get this over with."

No one fought afterwards, just pairing up and going into the forest, Geoff closing the gate behind them. If only they knew what they were getting themselves into.
