Summary

We're Alive: Scout's Honor Chapter 1 follows Franklin, a new scout arriving at Camp Emerald Bay on Catalina Island for his first summer. After meeting fellow scouts and settling into his troop, the Scorpions, a sudden emergency evacuation is triggered when a bus crashes into the water and scouts begin exhibiting zombie-like behavior, forcing the campers to flee for their lives.

Insights
  • Fictional zombie apocalypse narratives use familiar summer camp settings to create tension through contrast between expected safety and sudden chaos
  • Character establishment through dialogue and social dynamics creates audience investment before introducing the central conflict
  • Audio drama production relies on sound design and voice acting to convey action and emotion without visual elements
  • The episode uses peer hierarchy and power dynamics (Venture Master Pierce vs. Scout Leader Joe) to establish conflict layers beyond the main plot

Welcome to Camp. Welcome to Camp. Each year, venture scouts from around the country come to beautiful and serene Catilina Island. To foster trust, loyalty, good citizenship and bravery. All while making great friends and lasting memories. The last ferry to Catilina will be leaving in 10 minutes. Love you, Mom. Love you too, honey. Have a good time at Camp. Welcome to Camp. Place your bags at the end of the dock. Be sure to take your carry on with you. Nice suitcase. Was I not supposed to bring one? You gonna take that on the trail? Classic Pollywong. You. You've already checked in. Now get on the boat. Ha ha ha. Just ignore them. First time? Yeah. Oh boy. This is gonna be a big summer for you. I remember my first time at Emerald Bay. The camp is magical. On you go. I can't believe Mom is making me do this. All aboard for Catilina. How up there could it is this year? I'm hoping for True Penalign, Jumping Spider. Dude, that's not a troop name. It should be. Maybe the Bicent. I hear there's some still on the island. Yeah, leftover from some movie or something. What do you want? You're not sitting here, kid. Uh, no, I, um, gonna get a snack. Leave the nerd alone, Chase. Whatever. Here's your change. Condiments just around the corner. You again. Uh, Franklin, right? I was just looking for a... For any last minute supplies? Some of this you won't find at camp. Trust me. How much is this? Notepads, $4. I'll take it. My mom is making me write every day. Yeah, mom's do that. Is this where we're going? Oh yeah, that's Camp Emerald Bay on the back there. You're all set. Next. This seat taken? It's all yours, kid. Okay. Dear mom, I'm riding you like I promised. Well, camp is already terrible like I told you it would be. I'm not even there yet. I'm the oldest polywog here. It's so embarrassing. Why couldn't we earn any of these badges at home? Everyone my age is a higher rank. Why do I have to do this right now in here? Oh, sorry. Let's go and pick up. Oh my gosh, are you okay? I'm fine, I'm fine. I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to. Here, let me help. Ah, this is nothing. This happens more than you think. My aunt says I should look down more at my feet than off into the clouds. Oh, that's the one thing I do well. If you see a red purse, it has little drama masks on it. Dude, how much stuff did you bring? You should see my stowaway bag. I can't buy anything. What? Just something to eat from the counter. Oh, um, I have money. Really? I wouldn't want to impose. Sounds like the gentleman wants to buy a gift for the lady. What would she like? Oh, yeah, I was. Don't worry, mate. Catch it covered. Well, okay, if you're sure. Just something small. Um, how about a bag of Starburst? Sure, a dollar fifty-nine. What are those? The candy? My aunt doesn't let me have sweets. Does this count? You're joking, right? Well, your aunt isn't here. We can eat whatever we want. You know, they don't sell candy. It can't, right? Seriously? Oh, sweet. Gotta stock up now. Oh, my. You sure are going to be popular. This way. No one says to pay. I'm coming, I'm coming. Did you really have to buy that much? Two weeks. I have to make the last 14 days. I think you have a problem. You're a problem now, too. I'm afraid. You should be. Okay, here goes. Pins the best. Oh, my God. So good. My aunt would die if she knew what I was eating. Where are you from? Is that rude? No, of course not. I get asked all the time. Sorry, but now I live with my aunt Beverly in Los Angeles, so my accent's changed a bit. Oh, it's your first time at camp, too? No, that summer. I'm a chameleon now. I just blend right in. Probably won't truly stand out. Oh, dear. Yes, you too. But don't worry. Everyone feels the same way at first, and I promise you'll like it. I didn't know girls... I didn't know girls went to this camp. Well, we have our own campsite, one cove over, but we're still all adventure scouts. Right. Is that all you have, Candina notepad? What else do you mean? Who are you writing to? Your mom. Yeah. I said I'd write every day. You gonna write about me? You? No, I mean... I don't even know your name. Ruby, like my red hair. Just a coincidence, I was born blonde. My aunt may be fussy about what I eat, but not much else. Oh, okay. And? A hand what? And what is your name? Oh, right. Um, Franklin. You sure? Franklin L. Devin. Wait, what? It's on your back, silly. I read it earlier. Wanted to ask anyway. What's the L stand for? Oh, just some dumb family name. Don't ask. No, I really want to know. You'll have to torture it out of me. Challenge accepted. I'll start with taking your sweets. One piece at a time. It's not gonna last you two weeks now. Ruby Wright, please report to the first deck. Ruby Wright. Oh, my. I hope everything's okay. Be right back. Okay. Ah. Mom, I'm in love. I met a friend. She's nice. Good hair. Okay. Can't may not be so terrible after all. Ladies and gentlemen, we've arrived at our first destination, two harbors on beautiful Catalina Island. Please stand clear of the exits until we have completely docked. If you're heading to Avalon, stay on board, and we'll continue on to our next stop. Catalina is a lot bigger than I thought. It looks so small from the shore. We still have to take a bus from here. I'm not sure how long that'll be. Look what they found. My purse. Purse? Oh, you're wrong. Now I can return the favor for all those treats. Maybe on the way home. It's a date. Wait, what'd she say? Galatel, Bonito, Galicoban. Got just this morning. Hey, get the... We're in the island. We are traveling to both shore, fish shore, Avalon, White shore, and more. There's so much going on in two harbors. It's like a whole little city. They say Avalon down the coast is a lot bigger. I wonder what it is. Franklin, are you going to write in that the whole time? Are you going to enjoy yourself? Will be. Carmen, please tell me I'm in your cabin again. I may work something out. Yes. Who's your boyfriend? What? Very funny. This is Franklin. Met him on the ferry. It's his first time. Gotcha. Come on, Francis. It's Franklin. Yeah, yeah. I'll show you to your bus. Ruby, you're on this one. Bye. See you around. Later. Later. Come on, Sinatra. Your bus is over here. Ugh. Hey, Carmen. Lucas. A little birdie told me you aren't going out with anyone. So? Just so you know, I'm still available. Big surprise. Well, if you're ever looking for a good time, Lucas is waiting for you. Ugh, gross. Lay off the manga. It's messing with your brain. Not a chance. See you later, Carmen. Just call me the captain of camp. Okay, captain of camp. Oh, Carmen. Looking grumpy as usual, I see. Oh, Blaine. Acting like a clown as usual, I see. They seem to like it. Whatever. You better put that flag back up on the bus before Gus kills you. Gus won't care. He and I are tight. Really? Because he looks like he's about to tear you a new one. Who's Gus? Blaine. That's Gus. Get your skinny ass off my bus. I just had it cleaned. Ah, she'd never look better. Boy, you better be talking about the bus. Nice to see you again, Carmen. Be on the bus in two minutes, Blaine, or I'm leaving you here. Okay, okay. Who's your friend, Carmen? He's just some new kid. I'm Franklin. Make sure he knows where to go. Can't tell me what to do. Actually, I'm a troop leader this year. So yeah, I can. See you around, Captain. Hey, Carmen. When I meet at that spot, you know, I'm on my doctor's code for all time's sake. No. Ah, nothing like a powerful woman. You know what I mean, Frankie? Um... Come on. I want you to do suit at the gang. So, you and Carmen? I should say we have some history. Everybody, this is Frankie. He's new. Don't freak him out. Especially you, Lucas. Keep that weird shit to yourself. You unsophisticated. Just don't get it. These are the twins, Hunter and Harrison. Hi! Don't worry about telling them apart. No one can. Everyone can. Except you, Blaine. Yeah, right. And this is Bobby. Most of the guys seem pretty nice and cool. But there's so many names and faces. I've forgotten them almost as soon as I heard them. Of course, Gus, my main man. Boar, take a seat. Okay, okay. And here's Connor, O and N. What's your name again? John. Maybe we'll be in the same cabin. That'll be fun. Of course, my boy, Johnny. Hey, we'll convey it out of this trailer park to get to camp. What did you say? Oh, no. He's on this bus. You know they don't take food stamps at camp, right? Nice one. Oh, look. And his baby's sitting in the middle of baby two. Hold my pack, Frankie. Oh, uh, are you okay? Oh, I'm fine. But this douche won't be. What did you call me? Nothing. Douch. I'm gonna mess you up. Bring it, big head. Hey! Sit your asses down! This isn't over, obviously. What a... Chuck. Chase? Yup. Biggest idiot at camp. His older brother Pierce is the second biggest. Really? Worse than him? He's had it out for me since I got on the ferry. Don't worry about them. So what have you got? What? You know, contraband, booty, swag. The camp system runs on illegal currency. The system? Yup, and I'm sort of the best at working it, so what's your bring? Uh, I have $3.48 left. That's not going to help. But, that will. The spy bought walkie-talkies that my mom gave me? Nah, although those might come in handy for some late night shenanigans. That. The candy? Oh yes, indeed. Better than money. Keep it secret. Keep it safe. I can tie this extra tight. Hey, that's a good clove hitch. You sure you've never been a camp before? This is at least the thing I can do. If there's only one badge I can get this summer. Nah, you'll get more. I'll see to that. Just stick with me, Frankie. Got a feeling this is going to be one heck of a summer. Hey, you got bags? Got all these little cucumbers to hide and find outside. Nah, the girls camp isn't here. But, it's not hard to get to. You've been there? Oh yeah. Welcome, yo! Watch it! Stepped on my foot! Oh, sorry. Did I scare you? You think? Hey, Joe. Lane! That 80's vulture suit never gets uncreepy. Frankie, me, Joe. Our most fearless, enthusiastic scout leader. It's Franklin. Yes! You're a polywog. Franklin, you are just going to have the most amazing time here at Camp Emerald Bay. B-R-U-H-H-H-H! Hey, dumb shit! That's Pierce. Remember Chase's idiot brother that I was telling you about? Um... Get your head back on. There are scouts here. Exactly, Pierce. So why not watch the language? I'm sorry, Vern. Were you the first one to earn the Dragon Scouts talent last summer? No. No. Golden boy. You finally lost this time. So, does that make you the Venture Master this year? No. That's right. I'm in charge now, and you don't get to tell me what to do anymore. You're Vern the Vulture, and I'm Venture Master, so I'll be using whatever fucking language I like. Pierce, watch your tongue. Just...just put your head back on, bird. Remember, I'm in charge until Director Kim gets back from Avalon. You all have to listen to me. Now, I've got more important things to do. Valerie! Hey! Where'd you go? So where are we under now? Well, scouts, onward towards friendship. Towards adventure, but mainly towards the main hall. That way. Hooroo! Ha ha! There's a lot here. You okay, dude? Yeah, I'm cool. Yeah, real cool Franklin. Ha! Clown by Lucas. Dang, him again? Sacks here. Hey, Lucas! Save us a seat. I'm gonna go retrieve the Brainiac. Sure. Harrison! Hunter! Wait up! Uh... Frankie, stick with me. Oh, great. Yeah, he's super smart, like the smartest person you'll ever meet. And he's super rich. He came here in that? We spent a couple summers in the same cabin. We're like, two amigos. Last year he invited me to stay at his parents' summer home in Avalon. After camp ended, they are loaded. Bye, Mom. Bye, Dad. Bye-bye, baby. Whoops. Spilled my wine. Harve, do we bring the bottle of Latour? Jesus, baby. Come on, Captain. This is back to two harbors. Right away, sir. Zaki! Zaki! Don't forget your extra sunscreen. It's in my pack, Pilar. Thank you. And you have everything you need. Your uniform, your books, your... Yes, Pilar. I have everything. Adios, mijo. I'll miss you, mi chiquito. Adios, ya ya. I'm still waiting for my wine. Coming, Miss Mindy. What do you think they all are, little beautiful arms? Plain. Brain. Very funny. Try parachuting in next time. Mega yacht? Wasn't flashy enough. Great idea. Or maybe a jet pack. That would actually be awesome. Who's this? Oh yeah, Zach. Me, Frankie. Hi. New kid. Tons of candy. Ah, I see why Blaine likes you. That, Andy's cool. And Carmen seems to like him. Carmen again? Oh yeah. And she's cuter than ever. Statistically speaking, your chances with her this summer are slim to none. Good thing I don't know nothing about statistics. Venture Camp is a special place where scout seeds are planted, sown, and grown into lifelong friendships. How old is this video? So old. They plant every year. Safety is of utmost importance to having a lame and unsuccessful summer. When, when. I still can't believe they made Pierce the venture master, not Joe. What a burn. He only lost by one event. Joe is like Mr. Summer. And Pierce is like Mr. Bummer. More of a straight line. When you're here, you're not just scouts or even friends. You are family. And now your beloved venture master will valiantly lead you all into a summer of fantastic adventure. Scouts, venture home. Woo-ha! Woo! Go burn! Yeah, Joe. Yeah. Go Vulture! Yeah, venture home! Anyway, my new assistant Valerie will lead troop selection this year. What? The lifeguard? Pierce, I already assigned those. She's not the lifeguard anymore. I promoted her. And I told her she could do it. Seriously? I spent a whole week on this. Uh, uh, uh, get your head on. And yeah, that's a shame. Go ahead, babe. Okay. In the spirit of harmony and self-expression, you guys can all pick your own troop this year. Oh my god! This is absurd. Well, that's different. Who cares? We're gonna pick our own troop. This is awesome! Woo! Go Valerie! So we can all be together? Yeah, well, except for Lucas. What? Come on, Blaine. Don't be like that. I thought we were besties. He's probably just messing with you. Nope. Yeah, sorry. This is so not cool. Don't worry. He has his anime friends to keep you company. Good one. But we're all in, right? Scout rule number eight. Always stick with your troop. Boys, don't forget to pick your troop name from the big list over there. First come, first serve! Dudes, let's go. Oh my god! What about Jack Rabbit? No, Hunter. What? Paws? Harrison, no. Okay, the twins aren't choosing. How about Scorpions? I liked it. Me too. Yeah. Eh, whatever. It's like a spider, but way cooler. Actually, Scorpions are arthropods. Scorpions. And I like the chant. You guys ready? Scorpions, Scorpions, sing, sing, sing! Excellent choice, guys. Here's the flag. Don't let it out of your sight. I'll take that. Hang tight for a minute, boys. I'll find out your cabin assignments. Mom, we're the Scorpions. A real troop with a cool name. A tear, a flag and everything. And I'm pretty sure I made two real friends. Okay. Since it seems I have to reassign all the troop cabins, we are going to start activity time early. Science lab, please be science lab. Please be the lair. What's that? Live ammo range, riflery and archery. A hike! Crap. Fun! Wait, what's wrong with a hike? Born. Exhausting. Franklin's got the right idea. Boys, go find Chase. He'll be your troop leader. And then everybody meet by the totem pole. What? Come on, Joe. Anyone but Chase. Sorry, boys. Pierce assigned the leaders. He's an imbecile like his brother. And a fat head is a dystic nightmare. You mean the jerk from the bus? Boys, boys, that is not scoutly behavior. And speak of the devil, here he is. Your illustrious troop leader. They're all yours, Chase. This will be fun. Own it, boys. I don't know. It sounded serious. Emergency services is on the phone now. Uh-huh. I'm going to go check on something. Here, you can be in charge of the trail maps, Franklin. Stick to the paths. Have fun, boys. Did Chase just hear all that? I'll take that, Plagg. Move. Oh, boy. I swear it back. Hi, hi, hi. I'm singing. Oh, my baby. My brother's right here. All right. Scout rule number one. Honesty and honor above all. Scout rule number two. Safety first. These are all useless. Chase rule number one. Listen to every word I say, and if you don't, I will be your worst nightmare. Check your craft. You'll learn all the other rules on the hike. Let's go. Does anyone have any extra sunscreen? Actually, I don't have any. Does anyone have any extra sunscreen? Actually, I do. Thanks, Zach. Whoa. Wait. You brought fireworks? Shh. Told ya. I'm the king of contraband. You know, fireworks cause an average of 18,000 fires each year, and Catalina's prone to fires. Don't worry. We'll shoot him out over the water. I said get a move on, nerd. Nice one. Ow. Watch where he's going. Make a beam. This is my group. And I could do whatever I want. This is a gross abuse of power. This is bullshit, and we won't stand for it. Yeah! You better watch what you say. Remember, Pierce is in charge this year. I don't care if your brother is venture master. He doesn't deserve it. You should talk. You guys know Blaine is this year's charity case, right? You're giving the poor kid scholarships. Stop. We're gonna get in trouble. I don't really know how it happened. It was all so fast, but don't forget, Mom. I kinda got in my first fight. Hey, get off of him. Look into doing the fight move. We'll get in there. Don't push him. And got my first black eye. What happened? Chase, what the heck, man? What is wrong with you, Chase? Screw this shit. You three go see my brother in the main office. You're out of my troop. You can't be serious. You started it. Yeah. Actually, I would very much like to go to the office and see the director right now to discuss your grieges lack of leadership skills. Shut up. Hey, Valerie. Yeah, what's up? Take these jerks to see my brother. They're out of my troop. Kick them out of camp if you want. You can't do that. What they do? Fighting. They're like defending. Whatever. Come on, boys. You haven't seen the last of us. Whatever. Nerds. What are we supposed to do now? Told you. We're going on a hike. But that new kid has the trail maps. It'll need the stupid trail maps. I know the way. Follow me. And try to keep up. Losers. What are we gonna do? Eww. How long do we want to hike? It's gonna be so bad. This is an ad from BetterHelp. Am I forgetting something?

Don't worry. We'll get them back for this. How? I'll come up with something. Thanks for jumping in back there anyway. Yeah, that was pretty cool. Don't mention it. Does it hurt? Not too much. Really? Cause it looks like it hurts. Well... Just think of it as a rite of passage. Into what? Our gang. Yeah, welcome. Okay, cool. What are you doing? We need to get everyone ready for evacuation. I don't want to hear it, Joe. This is just a drill. Pierce, I'm telling you. It's not just a drill. Gus is bringing the bus back right now. This safety job has gone to your head. Do I need to remind you who's in charge? Something's going on in Avalon. That's like 30 miles away from here on the other end of the island. Even if it is, we're fine. My girlfriend Zoe lives there. She always answers her phone. And I can't get in touch with her. This is real. Well, you know, your girlfriend probably just doesn't want to talk to you. He has a girlfriend? Good one, Val. This isn't a joke. They're in danger. Pierce, you need to get everyone ready. Wait, boys? You're not on the hike? Chase, push me. Chase is laughing with the door. Chase is starting. Okay, Valerie, what is going on here? They were fighting or something. Dammit. There hasn't even been three hours in this camp. It's falling apart. I'm going to go find the other scorpions and round up all the rest of the campers. Pierce, I know we don't always get along, but please do not ignore this. Get the kids on the buses and evacuate the camp. Evacuate? We have to leave. We just got here. I need to run and get them back from the trails. Boys, stay with Pierce. I just hope Zoe's okay. Hey, you forgot your head. What am I supposed to do with you three? I would like to formally file a complaint. Uh-huh, like that's going to happen. We have more important things to do than babysit a bunch of Pollywogs. Babysit? Whatever. Just sit in the director's office and think about what you've done, okay? I can't deal with this right now. What we've done? Seriously? Should we be evacuating? Joe said... Yeah, like, maybe the kids right. Joe seemed really worried. We are not listening to Joe. He is not Venture Master anymore. I am. I said it's just a drill, so that's what it is. We're not going to cause a panic. Now you boys get in there and stay. This is ridiculous. No one ever listens to us. Yeah, no kidding. I just wanted to help. No, but... Well, this is just an awesome start to camp. I've never been in trouble before. Another rite of passage, my boy. If you're not, we'll get out of this. Uh, shouldn't you be going through that stuff? I mean, isn't that the camp director's desk? It's called making the best out of a bad situation. Let's see what we have here. I might come in handy. What are you doing, Zach? I got something. Urgency broadcast system. A full island evacuation is underway. Whoa. We should be evacuating. Please safely make your way to the nearest departure site. What's going on? The current status of the situation is... This is not a drill. Enact all sanctioned emergency protocols calmly and safely. Proceed your nearest evacuation point aboard... Forget that. Run. Run. Unknown. Unknown? Seriously? Thank you for utilizing the Catalina Island emergency broadcast system. This message repeats. What the hell, Pierce? Attention. That a-hole. We cannot be silenced. The people need to know. Wait. What if that's fake? Like a prank? Sounds like something you might try, Blaine. Even I'm not that good. I'll keep searching for other frequencies. Someone else would be talking about this. Is this the capierre? Yeah, I think so. What was Pierce thinking when he left us in here with all this equipment? That we wouldn't touch it. Just goes to show what he doesn't know. How do I get this microphone on? Anyone's there? Joe? Pierce? Hello? This is Zach? Zach? Who the hell are you? And why wasn't anyone answering? I'm gonna be there in like three minutes. Then we gotta go. I'm a scout. I got six people on the bus already from the girls' camp. And now we gotta pack more kids on. What have you been doing? Uh... Blaine! Hey! Sam! Get everyone ready! Oh, shit. It is real. Hello? Hello? We've gotta tell the camp. Zach, help me get this PA system working. Let me see. You got it! Blaine, are you Shawshanking this? Yes, I am. My mom wouldn't let me watch that movie. Attention scouts! This is an emergency! Get to the bus stop now! As quickly and safely as you can. Oh my god! Whoa, whoa, whoa, what are you guys doing? Pierce, what they do? The people have a right to know. Oh, now you're really in trouble. What the... What the hell was that? Sam, Sam, stop! Oh my god! Gus! Do you hear that? What? The bus horn. Grab your bad packs. Hurry. What do we do? I don't know. Oh my god, I feel good. Come on, hurry, come on, hurry. We have to go to the bus stop. Oh my god! The bus! It's swarming all over the place. Stop! It's going to crash into the water! It's not stopping! It's getting off! No, no, no! Get out of the way! Oh my god! The bus is in the water! Holy shit! Did you see that? That was insane. Are they okay? Stay out of the water. Valerie, swim out to see if they're okay. Or if anyone needs any help. Are you kidding me? You're the lifeguard. Former lifeguard. Get in the water, Valerie. Fine! They're getting help from us. Okay, kids! There's nothing to worry about. Just paddle over the bus stop. Gus! Gus, are you... Good. He's okay. He's okay, everybody. That's it, that's it. He's paddling. He's being brave. Gus, I'm doing something! Did someone call 911? This is bad. Gus, are you okay? Is something wrong with her? He bit her. Oh my god, Valerie! Holy shit! Whoa, what's he doing to her? He's dragging her under. Valerie! What is wrong with them? It's an outbreak. The sick are attacking. I don't know. I think they're... Oh my god. They're attacking. They're attacking. They're attacking. They're attacking. They're attacking. They're attacking. They're attacking. They're attacking. They're attacking. Oh my god. It's gotta be... Blame zombie rules! Super Scout set. Don't let them touch you. And run! What is this fucking insane? I know. What do we can do? I can't believe it. I can't believe it's a real zombie apocalypse. You're kidding. You're kidding, right? Oh my god, this is real. We need to get out of here. Okay. Think. Think. We need to get out of the main camp. Awake from people. Connor? Hey! Get off of them! He's one! He's one of them! And good Scout, it provides me. He was... He was trying to bite me. It's real. It didn't, right? No. Thanks to Blame. Wasn't enough. He's getting up. Run! Guys, where'd you go? Wait! Hey, watch out! Get out of my way! Blame's at. Where are you? Help! Oh my god. Oh my god, I hate camp. This is crazy, man! Bobby? Bobby! Connor and I are going to die at camp in the bathroom. And I've only been here three hours. Uh, hello? Um... Are you okay? I'm a Scout. Scout, I'll polywad too. It's okay. Oh my gosh. I'm dying! I can't! Scout! Oh my camp! Oh my god. Oh my god. Ow! I'm sorry, I didn't see you. My foot's drawn your back. I'm sorry, Legas. Lutus? Oh my god. Hey. Get away from me! I can't! I can't! Franklin! Get off me! Franklin, it's Zach. You're going the wrong way. Is he sick? He's not sick. We've got to go. Where do you go? Everyone is going crazy. We know. Where are we going? To the Magical World. We're trapped. We're trapped. Turn around and head to the back of camp. Do we have to? This goes towards the totem pole. Maybe we can find the rest of the Scorpions. Yes, they were on the hike. They're probably fine. Whoa! Watch out! Wait, is that Lutus' comic book? Is he okay? No, they got him. Don't look! Trust me! He wasn't on the hike with the troop. And we didn't let him in. Lutus could have... I know! I know. There it is! The totem! Look! There's Joe! He's coming down the trail! We can't find them! Joe! Joe! Look out, boys! There's one behind us! Oh my God! Get down! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Police! Run! Run! As far as you can! No! Run away from here! Joe! Joe! Do it! We can't help him! No! We can! No! We have to keep going! Get him! Let me go! Just keep running! We have to get as far away from him as we can! Is Joe going to be okay? I don't think so. Just listen to what he said. Run! Run! Run! Run! Run! Run! Run! Come on, Blake! You couldn't stop one of them! I don't know who else could! Whatever you do, don't look back! We're on our own!
