BLACK FOREST, COLORADO

A group of young girls sit around in a tent, drinking. Julie pours out a drink into Ashley and the other friends cup.

"Okay, okay, okay, okay. Spiced rum with cinnamon. I infused it myself." Julie Says

"Bet she learnt that from a podcast." She Says

"Yes. Yes, I did. And you're welcome." Julie Says

"To our annual camping trip." She Says

"To eleven years of not dying from exposure." Julie Says

"To our last camping trip." Ashley Says

"Oh God, Ashley. Way to be a downer." Julie Says

"We just graduated from college. Can't we just celebrate that?" She Says

"Yeah, but you two got jobs. You're both leaving. I... have a philosophy degree. And I drive Uber." Ashley Says

"Well, you did that to yourself." Julie Says

Ashley glares at Julie and the other friend looks at Julie before looking back over at Ashley.

"She means you picked a harder road. You'll find something." She Says

"Just drink the rum. It'll help." Ashley takes a sip and coughs before laughing, "See?" Julie Says, then
they hear a noise from outside the tent.

"What was that?" Ashley Says, as the other girls laugh at her.

"Look at your face. It's probably just a deer or something. A deer is not going to kill you." She Says

"That sounded a lot bigger than a deer." Ashley Says

"Maybe it's a really big deer." She Says

"Guys." Ashley Says

"You're nuts. There's nothing out there. Oh my God, I'll prove it to you, okay?" She gets up and walks to the opening of the tent, "I'm getting more rum." Julie Says

She opens the zipper of the tent and looks back at Ashley before she leaves.

"Okay. Don't really think we need more rum." Soon they hear Julie scream, "Julie?" They hear grunting noises from outside, "Julie? Are you okay?" She Says

The other friend motions for Ashley to close the tent. She shakes her head as the friend gets up and slowly walks to the opening of the tent. She tries to close the zipper, but she gets grabbed and dragged outside and Ashley screams.

Sam walks into the war room, he puts his shotgun in his duffle bag and looks down at his phone which is ringing, as Corinna is calling him.

"Hey." Sam Says

"Hey, he speaks." Corinna Says

"Ha I know I'm sorry I haven't really been calling, I've just been-" Sam Says

"Sam I know and it's okay, I'm just happy you answered because I need someone to talk to." Corinna Says

"Okay, what's up." Sam Says

"Oh you know just chilling in the woods, with my family on the annual Stark Family camping trip." Corinna Says

"And I'm guessing by the tone of your voice, you're not so pumped about it." Sam Says

"Yeah..look I get it my parents want to spend more time with their various grandchildren, but couldn't we have gone somewhere..with less mosquitoes." Corinna Says, as smacked her arm killing the bug.
