What if...? Volume 1

What if...? Chapter Five - Confronted.

What If the team confronted the phantom at the grave...?

Fear it was often overwhelming, as the unknown was the only thing to expect as you would face something not normal to your average routine. Such fear was normal for Matthias, Samantha, Woods and Bailey, as they had were forced into strange situations like this all to solve the mystery of this never ending rabbit hole.
This time this 'situation' was more mysterious than dangerous, as they found a marked location in the hood of the Mercury mountaineer, that they had just received back from John Doe, the undercover officer. Not only had they found a location to an unknown place, but also a specific time too, 3AM the witching hour. The time known to be most haunting, as spirits would awake. Of course, the team did not think this was a ghost hunting adventure, as they ordered food and started to pack their bags. The only slight worry to them, was what might happen when they got there.
Anyone could be waiting for them. It could all be one big trap, or it could lead to nothing at all. It was all one big mystery, and they knew they had to be prepared for any situation.
Matthias was not taking any chances, be wanted to be one step ahead of the phantoms, so if he did meet one there, he was going to take his trusty weapon, a bat. Not any ordinary bat, a metal one, he was slightly worried heading out to an unknown location at night, more worried about the living than the dead.
The others were worried too, Samantha and Bailey not so much. They had no intention of being worried, instead they wanted to keep themselves positive as they hoped everything would be alright. By keeping themselves positive, they packed extra snacks to keep themselves feeling so sort of happiness, while overpowering the fear that lurked below.
Woods had gotten ready too, he was helping Quinn set up the cameras, while taking some more gear for himself too.

"You got any ideas on where we might be heading to?" Quinn asked Woods, as he placed some spares camera batteries inside his bag.

Woods shook his head, as he zipped up his bag, which was twice the sizes of Quinns bag, "Nope, but I ain't risking it. I am taking whatever is needed -- I mean what is the worse that could happen? We come across a grave?"

Quinn chuckled, as he least expected to come across such a thing, but the thought of doing so sent shivers down his spine, "Yeah, I just hope it doesn't take us too another syntec location."

"Well," Woods huffed, as at this point, anything could happen, "If it does, I ain't taking chances with whoever is there."

"Even if it is Deb?" Quinn joked, before he and Woods both zipped up their bags and made their way to the others, "Say, what would you do if you met Deb anyway?"

Woods paused for the moment, as the thoughts never crossed his mind, "That I am not too sure about yet, I think the first thing I would do is question why she chose us out all the people in the world."
Quinn nodded his head in agreement, as he completely understood Woods, as he was confused just as much as him.
Soon, they made their way to where the others were waiting and noticed they had ordered pizza. They were not sure what kind of Pizza, but from what Woods could smell, mostly cheese pizza.

"Are you ready?" Matt questioned them, as he zipped up his bag, "We will be heading out soon, so we can get there before 3AM and have a look around."

Woods nodded his head, as he moved his eyes away from the pizza boxes and off in the distance, "Right, how long does it take to get there?"

Matthias looked down at his phone, which shown a map to the unknown location, "Around 30 Minutes to and Hour - Depending on traffic."
Woods nodded his head, before he and the others all sat down on the sofas together and started to eat the food before they headed out.

---------

Soon, they had finished up eating, and made their way to the van, each of them starting to grow more nervous as the time passed. It almost felt unreal before, but now as the night dimmed, the darkness seemed to show light to the fear that they tried to mask away.
Samantha and Bailey both had brought small pocket flashlights, which they kept on as their made their way through the darkened carpark.
