"What do you mean, torturing?!" I yell. "He's got Angie chained to a tree and Bruno's in a coma." Steele says. "Bruno's also tied town." "Why didn't you help them?" Todd asks. "Because I can't carry two unconscious bodies at the same time." "Isn't Angie conscious?" I ask. "She was. Not anymore." "What happened?" "I don't know. She was awake when I found them. I told her that I'd go find bolt cutters to get the chain off of her. When I came back, she was unconscious. I tried to use the cutters but they broke. The only way to get her out is with a key." "Where do we find it?" I ask. "I don't know." "Take us to her." "What about Tom and Dex?" Todd asks. "Just take them with us." I say, frantic. Todd runs off towards the cabin and I stay with Steele. Whoever this "brother" is, I'm ready to take him down at any cost. Todd comes back a minute later with Dex and Tom. "Whoa whoa! What's going on?" Tom asks. "Listen, Angie and Bruno are in trouble. We need your help." I say. "What happened?" Dexter asks. "Remember Allan? His brother is messing with Angie and Bruno. We need to help now!!!" Steele says, then he takes off running. The rest of us follow him. I've ran this hard in my life; but anything for my cousin, who could be killed at any minute. After running for a bit, I get tired out. These woods feel like they're the same thing everywhere. Steele said that we need a key to free Angie. The problem is, where do we find it? "What do we do once we find them?" Todd asks. "We're gonna try to get Angie free and then take them back. Plus we need to find a way to wake up Bruno." Steele says. *** We stumble upon a lake with a canoe flipped upside down. I think Angie might've said something about taking a boat ride or something while we were on the double date. All of a sudden, I pick up a funny scent. I'm not a dog, but I've got a good sense when it comes to my nose. It smells like Bruno. "Wait guys." I stop the group for a second. I take a huge whiff of the air around us. "What's the problem?" Steele says. "I think I can smell Bruno from here." I say. "Really? How?" "Well..." I step towards the washed up canoe, still taking small sniffs. Yep; that's definitely Bruno. "This boat smells strongly of him." "How can you tell?" Tom asks. "It smells heavily of bad burrito breath." I say. "Yeah, that's Bruno alright." Todd says. "Well, c'mon Wendell! Let's go!" Steele goes back to running into the forest. I can smell Bruno's trail so I know where I'm going even though it's dark. "How do we always end up in situations?" Todd asks. "I have no idea." I say. "I think that it just... happens." "Well we already faced enough nine months ago, now we have this problem which is probably even worse." "We'll get through this foxy." I hold paws with Todd as we run. It feels nice to run; the wind through my fur, the feeling of going fast. All of a sudden, I trip over something, sending me and Todd to the ground. "Ow!!! What the hell was that?" Todd asks. He rubs his head. "I don't know." I look around in the dark. I reach my paw out and I hit something furry and fleshy. Plus the burrito smell I very heavy. Bruno!!! "Holy shit! Bruno!" I put a paw on him. He's still breathing. Dexter comes over and lifts him up. "Wendell?" I hear a voice that sounds like Angie. But it's... off. "Angie?" I ask. "Where are you?" "Just keep following my voice." She says. "Are you here yet?" "I don't know." I bump into something. Next thing I know, arms wrap around me and I do the same. "Is that you Angie, I'm hugging?" "Yes, it is." Her voice is trembling. Even her paws and arms are shaking. "Are you ok?" I ask. "No. He beat us up. He threaded to kill all of us." "Who?" "I didn't see his face but it was obviously a bear." "Whoever did this is dead." I say, "Wait, Steele I thought you said that Allan's brother did this?" "He did!" Steele complains. "But Angie said it was a bear who did this to them." "He must have someone helping him with his crazy stunts." "Whatever. How're we going to break your chains?" I ask. "I don't know." Angie says. "Dex, are you strong enough to break it?" "I don't know. I can try." Dex sets Bruno down and walks over to the tree. He sets one foot on the tree, and grips the chain with both paws. He pulls hard, his muscles showing in his arms. In several seconds, he breaks the chain and Angie is free. Angie immediately hugs Dex. "Thank you so much!" She says. Then she hugs me, tight. "Awww, you're so strong kitty." Tom hugs Dex and they kiss once. "Did I miss something?" Angie asks. "They're an official couple now." I explain. "That's cute." "I know. But let's head back to the cabins. We need to get back at Allan's brother." I suggest. Dex picks up Bruno again and Tom holds his boyfriend's paw. I hold Todd's paw and wrap my other arm around Angie's shoulder. *** We set Bruno down on the bed. We have a lot of lanterns set up because of the "Lights Out" shit. "Why won't he wake up?" Angie asks. "I told you guys," Steele says, "he's in a coma. It could be a couple days, maybe a few weeks, possibly a few years." "What do we do?" Todd asks. "I'm gonna kill whoever did this to my friends." I say. Todd sits next to me on the bed and rubs my back. I appreciate it but nothing is compared to how angry I am. "We don't even know who did this," Todd points out, "For all we know, this could've had nothing to do with Allan." "How can you say that?" I ask, "Allan almost killed you. Steele said that his brother's gone loco and wants to murder us. Now all of a sudden this happens to Angie and Bruno and you want to call it a coincidence?!" "I'm sorry." Todd pins his ears down and looks away. I put a paw on his muzzle and turn him towards me. "I'm sorry. I'm just very frustrated with this." I kiss him and he smiles but his ears stay down. "Now, what do we do next?" "I don't know," Steele squints at Bruno and it's obvious he's looking for something. That's when he reaches out and pulls his his shirt. There's a bad wound in his side and on his stomach is where I see it. Steele peels it off of his fur and holds it up. "'Play Me'?" He asks referring to the disc he found. "Does anyone have a disc player?" Angie asks. "There's one in my laptop." Tom says. He reaches under his bed and pulls it out. As it turns on, Steele hands him the disc. Tom puts it in and it loads up. "It's a video message." "Play it." I say. Tom hits play. Immediately, an older red cat that looks about twelve or thirteen. "Hello." The cat says. "Rodger." Steele whispers. "I assume most of you know who I am. But invade some of you are idiots: I'm Rodger Grayson. I'm Allan's brother. Before you ask, yes; I did do that to Angie and Bruno. I had a little help too. Other furs from the high school. Aka my cousins. They beat up Bruno and chained Angie to a tree. Even used heavy anesthetics on Bruno. Recipe for perfect psychological torture." "You're the one who's psycho." I mutter. "Now I assume one of you just said 'you're the one who's insane Rodger'." Show off. "Well, I am insane; insane for revenge. You guys killed my brother and until I get what I want, you bastards are gonna suffer!" "Well what do you want you crazy nutjob?!" Steele yells. "I want Steele, Wendell, and most importantly, Todd. You bastards are responsible for all of this. And until you guys give yourselves up, I'm gonna ruin your friend's lives." "What're we gonna do?" Todd asks. "We're gonna blow this camp and head back to Los Angeles." I say. "Oh and I wouldn't escape if I were you," Rodger continues, "Any of you step out of this campgrounds, I'll kill you all." He reaches towards the screen, hits a button and the screen turns black. We sit there in awe, unsure of what to say next. We can't leave and we don't know what to do. But if I ever see this Rodger guy, I'll twist his neck before he has a chance of saying anything. "I have to put the camp on lockdown." Tom says. "No one comes in, no one comes out. Not until Rodger comes." Tom leaves the cabin and runs off. The rest of us say nothing. "Maybe we should call 9-1-1?" Angie suggests. "Probably." I say, trying to keep my cool. We both get out our phones and we look and see what puts the shocking looks on our faces. "I'm getting no reception." Angie says. "Neither am I." "I'm not." Todd says. "But that makes no sense, we had a signal earlier." "Obviously that's Rodger." I say, "Ever hear of the Patch?" "What Patch?" Dex asks. "It's a small elliptical Patch that the FBI uses to block out signals or frequencies. This includes cell phone signals." "Well there's the idea of calling for help." Dex says. "We've got to find some way to get help." I start thinking about my crazy ideas. That's when one dawns on me. "Fire." "No! We're not setting the place on fire!" Todd says. "No crazy." I flick him on the nose, "We're gonna use all fire pits at once; make them more noticeable." "How're we gonna do that?" Angie asks. "Think, what makes a fire bigger than it is?" I ask. "Gasoline." "That and something else. Have you heard that Axe Body Spray supposedly makes a fire bigger than it should when you spray it? Imagine what would happen if we threw a few full cans of it?" "That's crazy talk!" Todd says. "Yep. That's how you know it's me." "What if it goes wrong?" "Look, have I ever let us down before? Listen, my plans are completely insane; but they always work out for us at the end. Now are you me baby?" I hold my paw out. He thinks for a second. Although he rolls his eyes, he shakes paws with me and smiles. "I'm in." Todd says. *** We walk back into our cabin. We were supposed to leave tomorrow but with the Rodger situation, we can't. Me and Todd get dressed. Toby is laying in the other bed taking a nap. We caught him up on what's going on earlier today. Dex officially moved into Tom's cabin so he won't be with us the rest of the trip. Todd comes over and lays on my lap. "I'm worried Wolfy." He says. "I know," I pet him, "we're gonna take care of those bastards. When we do, we're gonna leave this camp, get married and have a happy life." "I know. But what happens if we die?" "I have no doubt that blood will be drawn; but we to fight to stay alive." Last time death was involved, only bad guys were killed. Now, I don't know what could happen. There's a lot of us but we're weaponless. I do have my pocketknife, but what goes is that against psycho furs possibly with riffles? "Are we gonna be ok?" Todd asks. "Of course. We're gonna fight like hell for our freedom." I kiss his head and he murrs. Just then, I hear a distant screaming. Toby even wakes up and gets up. "What is that?" He asks. "It sounds like Angie." I say. "WENDELL!!!!! SOMEONE!!!" The three of us get out of our beds and we leave the cabin heading towards next door. I burst in through the door and notice the sight around me. The place is trashed; furniture everywhere, the beds unmade and graffitied. "Angie? What're you holding?" I ask. She has a piece of paper in her paws and she hands it to me. I take a look over it.

Your friends will disappear one by one until you turn yourself in.

"What do we do?" Angie asks. I turn to Jani's bed. I just now notice that we haven't seen Janelle in a while. On the pillow, I see something orange sticking out. I walk over and grab the pillow; but nothing's under there. "I don't get it." I mutter to myself. "I don't get what that means either." Todd points something out. I look at the pillow again. It's white on one side, but on the other, spray painted in orange are three numbers. 826
