What The Luck!?

"Hehehe you're my ticket to freedom brat. Just stand there and let me take you for a walk." Asher could tell that the fake criminal was a staff member because they still wore the same armbands that the staff wore. It was a nice touch to add to the costume since some of the less observant campers wouldn't be able to notice them. This was even harder for those that were not like Jane or Asher who would have better sight in the dark due to the night vision glasses.

"Yeah, as much as you think you're gonna scare me, you're nit. But I will make things a little tough for you if you try anything." The staff member was slightly thrown off by the clam tone of ASsher's voice.

"Smart mouth you got there, but won't change your fate." The staff member in the prison attire jumped at him and managed to find the tree root in front of Asher.

"As I said, things might be a bit tough for you…" Asher watched the staff member trip and fall face first. "In this situation, I have been told you and all the other staff members dressed like prisoners are my enemies. That doesn't bode well."

Asher had just said this without thinking. He couldn't fully understand why he had just blurted it out but now that he was focusing again he decided to run from the staff member at full speed. He knew that the staff member was just doing their job as part of the training so he shouldn't try and fight against them. Instead it was better to avoid them completely.

The staff member struggled up and attempted to chase after Asher but found that he had run directly toad the nearby tree in his confusion. There was no chance he would be able to pursue Asher in the least.

Having run for som,e time Asher realized that every once in a while he could hear a shout of two from nearby. It seemed that the other campers had started to shout for help or to try and find others. This was the wrong move since it just attracted the fake prisoners to them. Asher also moved top avoid these shouts until he heard a familiar voice yell in surprise. The additional blue flash that went with it was all too telling.

"Louis, I am on the way!" Asher didn't flinch as he rushed towards the direction of the blue flash. Dodging around trees and jumping roots was nothing to him in his efforts to get to his friend. He had been training long enough to gain the bodily awareness he needed to easily move within the forest now.

"Mmmmaaaannnaauummmm." The fake prisoner on the ground was having trouble making sentences and had almost completely lost consciousness.

"Louis, you fried a staff member!" Asher stood over the staff member completely shocked.

"He grabbed me from behind. It scared me and I couldn't stop the lightning that shot out." Louis was mortified. He had at first believed that he had killed the man that had grabbed him.

"Hey, this is a camper. I am going to put something under your head for some rest. Can you respond to me?" Asher started to run through some of the basic first aid he had learned and realized he should get the attention of another staff member.

"Louis, shot a few times and attract another staff member. They can take care of this man. He was zapped a little too much and needs to get to the nurses' cabin. I don't see any real damage but I think he was pushed a little too far." Asher could not see any damage on the skin of the staff members' hands. If there were any electrical burns of strange lines he would have known that there were worse injuries.

"Commmmeee over hheerrreee!!! I am hheeerreeee!" Louis was yelling this over and over until a rustling from the bushes caught their attention.

"Calling me to you is like calling a bear to a free meal." The fake prisoner walked from the bush and punched his fist in his hands before dropping their arms and rushing to the fallen staff members' side. "What happened here?"

The accent was dropped and instead replaced by a professional attitude. "Lighting body meats scary staff member. They will need to be brought back for rest." Asher gave a few more details and then stood up.

"I will assist him back to the camp grounds. Thanks for calling me. I will make note that you two took safety over running." The staff member shooed them away while they checked over the zapped coworker.

"I didn't…" Louis was still afraid he had done major harm but Asher pulled him away.

"Come on man, you drained yourself more or less right? Your shock couldn't have killed him. We also got another staff member right away. So we should focus on the task at hand. Once we are back to camp you can go and apologize in the nurses' cabin." Asher was able to talk away from the stress from Louis.

"He'll be alright?" Louis wanted to hear it before he fully left.

"Yeah kid. He is already looking better. You zapped him like a stun gun. It's our fault for not checking our database before sneaking up." The staff member assured Louis and helped his coworker sit up. The zapped staff member gave a weak thumbs up.

Louis finally started to move away with Asher. He was struggling in the dark but Asher had a tight hold on Louis's sweatshirt. "How can you tell where you are going?"

"Oh, Jane and I grabbed some night vision glasses at the storage area today. They are pretty great." Asher wanted to share them with Louis but realized that he only borrowed one pair. He was also glad he had remembered the small flash bombs that he had also been offered by Jim.

"We need to try and meet up with the others or make out way back to camp. I have a bet that when everyone is back or captured we will get some sort of grade." Asher said this while another sound attracted his attention. He was sure someone else was just on the other side of a tree hiding.
