Ch22 The Lost Case
"So let me get this straight, you guys sprayed him with bear spray, which is very dangerous may I add. And then you guys ran and got lost and Nathan had a compass with him but you guys didn't know the direction from which you came, right?" Mr. Cruz asked as he summarized our broken stories.
"Yes," We all answered at the same time.
"Then how did you guys get out of there?" he asked again now with a frown.
"Luke got us out," answered Ben.
"But how?" he again asked. Right then we realized we never asked him how he knew which way we had to go, so we all looked at him in confusion. He just rolled his eyes and shook his head with the big letters of 'you guys are dumb' printed on his face.
"My watch has a compass too so I unintentionally noticed the directions when we were walking up the hill. When Nathan drew out his compass I remembered that I too had one. I wasn't sure about the way but it turned out I remembered correctly." explained Luke in detail.
"Ooh, thank you so much, Nathan," exclaimed Ben. We all looked at him in question, even Mr. Cruz looked at him with a raised brow. "Yeah, if it wasn't for Nathan's idea, we would have been stuck there for I don't know how long."
Mr. Cruz snorted at his words but schooled his expressions for the sake of the important discussion ahead.
"So yeah, I would like to watch that video, for which you guys got your lives at risk," he asked with a joking undertone in his voice.
Luke pulled up Ben's phone and played the video, Mr. Cruz didn't look shocked but he sure looked angry.
"It's just this video?" he asked as he scrolled for the photo before this, simultaneously Ben shouted a loud NO. "Geez, why are you acting like you have some dirty secrets here?" Mr. Cruz said looking at the photo before him.
Ben nearly snatched his phone to look at the blurry photo of Luke's face when he had stopped Ben from clicking Mr. Cruz and Mr. Davis's pictures. Ben gave a grateful smile to Luke as Mr. Cruz started talking again.
"Mr. Davis had initially expressed this concern to me and we had been trying to gather proof of it. We had been working on it even in camp. The file he is after was just some forms we were filling for him to get suspended." Mr. Cruz said with a sigh.
"So will he be suspended, sir?" I asked as a captain this time. He smiled with sympathy and said.
"I think he will be, and after all those stunts he pulled out I am kind of sure he will be." He said sighing. "You guys should rest now or your Mr. Davis will scold me. And yeah, please do send me that video." He asked as he pulled out a piece of paper from his wallet and wrote his number on it, giving it to Luke.

It was a day later when Jeffery and his friends were escorted back to their home with their parents, they gave us a very bad look as they were left. His punishment is still not decided but I am sure, Mr. Cruz won't let them off the hook.
"Do you guys feel bad? Jeffery would also be punished for spiking the drink you know?" said Luke as we were playing around on the basketball field, nobody dared to go up the hill again.
"I don't think after what happened that we should tell them it was us," said Nathan, and I nodded in agreement.
"I feel bad but you are right, we can't do anything about it," said Luke shooting the basketball and missing the basket with a long distance.
"Hey, the day after tomorrow will be the last day of the camp, right?" asked Noah suddenly abandoning his basketball.
"Yeah," answered Luke suspiciously.
"No I am not talking about some plan or anything, I am just saying how about we make this last bonfire memorable for them?" suggested Noah happily.
"I don't know, I guess we had the first bonfire memorable enough," I answered to which Ben laughed loudly and threw the basketball and miraculously it landed in the basket. Ben jumped in celebration as Noah elaborated another master plan of his.
"No alcohol or anything, just like we can plan on some games or something," he said as Ben started belly dancing in the middle of the basketball court. Thank god nobody is around, or our reputation would have been in shreds with the way he is dancing.
"It's not a bad idea, but what kind of game?" asked Nathan as he repeatedly tried scoring a basketball himself too.
"I don't know maybe like 'two truths one lie', or something like that, we can always search," Noah replied.
"I think it could be a good distraction after what happened we can play something like 'truth dare' or 'twenty questions'," Luke answered deep in thought, and just at that time Nathan scored a basket too joining Ben's belly dance.
"I mean even Nathan scored a basketball, this plan is radiating some good vibes, we can try," I said getting a basketball myself and easily scoring a basket.
Luke took the ball from Ben who was trying to balance it on his head as he danced some type of crab dance. Luke threw the ball making a perfect arch and into the basket.
"If you get the ball into the basket too then we are doing it," I said handing the ball to Noah like a prized trophy which he accepted with an exaggerated bow and threw the ball perfectly scoring a basket. We all shouted and Nathan lifted Noah on his shoulder as we all cheered and chanted around him.
It was another day well spent with the resolve of finally some better plan for the future that won't hopefully result in our heads amputated.
