In 2018, Freya Nightingale was poised to be the next big then in World Football, but three days before she was to join one of the biggest clubs in Europe, she vanished.
What will happen when Freya re-appears?
"Everyone ready?" Kelley asks as I look at the teams for today's team bonding.

"Yeah." Everyone says.
"Alright." Kelley says. "Teams head to your designated spawn site."
"Come on team." Christen says as everyone on team Katana grabs a cardboard box then we head to our home base here at the paintball field in Cincinnati.
"This place is fucking massive." Emma says as we reach our base.
The paintball field we're on is literally just acres and acres of woods surrounding a lake with some houses that you can hide in scattered around the area.
"Mhmm." I say as I put my cardboard box full of ammo on a table that's used as our base. "We should probably pair off."
"Why?" Julie asks.
"Well two people alone is easy to hide and evade, but a large group is easy to pick off." I say.
"Ah." Julie says.
"So who goes with who Miss Security expert?" Jaelin asks.
"Well what game are we playing?" Azura asks as everyone fills their paintball guns up with the little balls we shoot.
"Capture the flag." Katana says.
"Then Katana, Jaelin, Julie, and Sofia you four stay here and guard the base." I say. "Christen and Talia go for the blue teams flag, Azura and Emma go for the orange team's flag, and Raven and I will go for the red teams flag."
"Sweet." Katana says.
"When ever one of us gets shot and has to return to base we'll switch off." I say. "So like if I get shot and have to come back then Katana will go get the red flag once I tag the "respawn" button."
"Sounds good." Julie says then we all put on our protective masks as the airhorn sounds.
"Let's go." I say to Raven then we grab two refill containers and disappear into the woods.
"Do you know how to get to the red base?" Raven asks as we walk.
"Yep." I say.
"How?" Raven asks.
"There was a map on the table at our base." I say.
"I knew that." Raven says as I see flashes of orange coming towards.
"Hide." I say then Raven and I hide behind two trees.
A second later two people from the orange team come running past us so Raven and I shoot them then we quickly run to the trees in front of us and hide.
"What the fuck?" Crystal says.
"Who shot us?" Lynn asks as she and Crystal walk past Raven and I.
Once Lynn and Crystal are out of sight, Raven and I continue walking towards the red team base.
"Hide." I say when I see a person wearing a red shirt running next to the lake then Raven and I hide behind a tree.
A few seconds later Raven and I watch the lady in the red shirt get shot a lot then the lady in red falls into the lake.
"Ooh that look like it hurt." Raven says as I wait for the lady in red to come out of the water.
"Shit." I say when I see the person's not coming up then I take off towards the lake.
This isn't good.
"I'M OUT I'M OUT I'M OUT I'M OUT I'M OUT I'M OUT I'M OUT I'M OUT I'M OUT I'M OUT." I repeatedly shout.
As I approach the edge of the lake, I drop my paintball gun, take off my mask, take a deep breath, then I dive into the water.
Once in the water I see the lady in red sinking towards the bottom so I swim towards her.
When I get to the lady in red, I wrap my arms around her then I swim back to the surface.
A few seconds later we surface then I swim towards the edge of the lake.
Once at the edge of the lake Raven helps me bring the lady in red onto dry land then I get out of the water and kneel next to the lady in red.
"It's Ali." Raven says.
"Tilt her head back." I say then Raven does so I listen to see if Ali's breathing. "Shit."
"What?" Raven asks.
"She's not breathing." I say then I begin doing cpr.
"SOMEONE CALL 9-1-1." Raven shouts.
"29, 30." I mumble then I stop compressions, cover Ali's mouth with my mouth, and do 2 rescue breaths.
"HEY." I hear Ash shout as I don't see any signs of life. "WHY ARE YOU KISSING MY WIFE?"
"SHE'S TRYING TO SAVE HER LIFE DUMB FUCK." Someone shouts as I return to doing chest compressions.
"Can one of you put my locs up?" I question then I feel someone put my locs in a ponytail. "Thank you."
"What'd we do?" Kelley asks.
"First thing you all can do is shut the fuck up." I say then I return to counting my compressions.
"Get towels, blankets, or anything warm to warm Ali up." Katana says. "See if you can find a defib machine and go wait for the paramedics."
"30." I mumble then I stop compressions, cover Ali's mouth with my mouth, and do 2 rescue breaths.
Once again I don't see any signs of life.
"Fuck." I mumble then I return to doing chest compressions as Raven counts
"...14, 15, 16." Raven counts then after she says 16 Ali starts coughing then she spits up water.
"Thank fuck." I mumble then I see the paramedics coming over. "Excuse me."
After I excuse myself, I head to the edge of the lake then throw up into the lake.
"Ma'am are you all right?" I hear someone new say I assume it's an EMT.
"I'm fine." I say. "Just swallowed some of this lake water."
"Do you need any help?" The EMT asks.
"I'm fine." I say then I throw up again.
I throw up a couple more times then I turn around and see Ali being wheeled away with Ash following so I head back over to the group
"Who shot her?" Sam asks.
"Uh it seemed like she was shot by people from all sides of the lake so I don't think we'll ever know." I say.
"How'd you know what to do?" Kristie asks then I give her the "bitch really" look. "Oh right."
"Well this days fucked so what do you say we pack our shit up, go get food and a drink, then head to the hospital." Cairo says.
Everyone agrees then the respective teams head back to their bases.
