[PRESENT TIME]

Mike: "...It's weird that it has short hair-"

Carlos: "-Along with Carter's shadow having no jacket."

Ashlyn: "Wait- but when we asked last time, you didn't see anything?"

Mike: "Yeah, I didn't. I actually didn't notice until we got to the hospital."

Carlos: "Me and my wife actually saw them back then as well, wenjustbkept it a secret just incase you all were pulling a prank."

Carlos lied, as Mike continued.

Mike: "But when you tried to show us, that was before me and your mom started- seeing creatures pretty similar to the "phantoms" you described."

*OPEN*

Mike, Carlos, Ashlyn, Carter: "Emma,/Alice,/Guys, we need to talk."

Everyone looks at them, confused.

TIMESKIP

After the four of them told the kids everything, including Tyler being impaled(seen by Carter), everyone grew confused, and Taylor started to grow more sadder until Ben comforted her.

Logan: "Wait, wait, wait- hold on... How are they seeing phantoms when they didn't go to Savannah...? And Tyler's impaled on a tree?"

Carter: "I don't know, and yes, unfortunately."

Emma: "We'll figure that out later... Right now we need to focus on what to do about Tyler and his tree problem..."

Mike then thinks for a bit.

Mike: "...So if I understand right, then if we were to place supplies you guys were last, you'd be able to use them next time?"

Ashlyn: (Nod)

Mike: "Emma, Alice, do you think you can talk to the others while me and Carlos take Ashlyn and Carter to town?"

Emma: "...I can try."

Alice: "...Sure."

Suddenly, the others spoke up.

Aiden: "Wait, I want to come too."

Logan: "Me as well, please."

Ben: (Nod)

Carlos: "Your parents will panic if you join without their knowledge, and telling them would take too much time, so you all should stay here. Help Emma convince the others on what's going on."
