"We got their guns... but we still gotta... lose them!" Darius scans the area before coming up with an idea.

Mitch calls out from them, his voice ringing close by.

"Quick, split up!" Darius whispers, causing the two other kids to split off from him.

Y/N sprints to the left, hiding behind the side of a nearby building. He clasps his hand over his mouth in order to keep quiet while trying to catch his breath. He looks to the side but can't see Sammy and Darius anywhere, which is probably for the better although it doesn't calm his nerves.

"Be reasonable, D!" Mitch calls out.

Just then, Y/N spots Darius' head bobbing through the wreckage.

"You know we're hunters, right?"

"Just give us our guns back and we can forget this ever happened!" Tiff bargains, though that's clearly untrue.

The adults keep shouting out, trying to get the kids to surrender.

Y/N gets on his hands and knees and slowly creeps across the ground and into the wreckage, he knows that with the direction Mitch is walking if he stays where he is he'll be caught in no time.

He stays hyper aware of the case slung over his shoulder, making sure it doesn't hit anything as he moves and unintentionally holds his breath, unable to resist wondering where Darius and Sammy might be.

He doesn't have to wonder for long as he hears a thud and a light grunt that he assumes is most likely Sammy. The silence is deafening afterwards, now everyone is holding their breath.

Y/N spots Darius and Sammy and slowly inches towards them, unaware of Mitch and Tiff's location. The three of them group together, trying to silently work out an escape plan when suddenly a Compy appears, seemingly out of nowhere.

It squawks, compromising their position as the teens shoo it away. The Compy makes more and more noise as it hops around and grabs a piece of pizza off the ground. Sammy opens her mouth to gasp but Y/N quickly covers it with his hand.

Footsteps can be heard approaching along with the sound of the three camper's hearts practically beating out of their chests. Something gets knocked over in the rubble, scaring the Compy off and the kids take this opportunity and begin crawling away.

They stop behind an overturned picnic table and Darius has an idea.

Darius not-so-stealthily shakes an umbrella around, catching the grown-ups attention. It's set right in front of one of the Brooklyn standees which should give them extra escape time.

Darius returns to Y/N and Sammy just as Mitch and Tiff close in on the cutout.

As the trio is making their escape bright lights begin to flicker on around the street, shocking the campers.

"What the heck?" Y/N murmurs, still worried about getting caught.

They run up to a building, hoping to get in. All three of them try pushing on the windows and the doors, but nothing seems to work. While their backs are turned, Mitch and Tiff approach from behind, leaving the kids unaware and defenseless.

"It's over!" Tiff shouts, scaring the trio.

They back away from the window to see the adults approaching them without any hesitation this time.

"Don't even think about running!"

"Where did you think you were going?" Mitch scoffs.

"You think we wouldn't be able to find you in the jungle?"
