The remaining survivors were still perplexed as to who would be doing all of this and what were the motives behind their actions. After a good portion of the day had gone by, someone spoke up.
"I think the best way to find out why these people are doing what the are doing is to go out into the jungle and go have a look for ourselves!" piped up May who stood up from the sand with her coat tied around her waist while brushing off the bits of sand from her lap.
"That actually doesn't sound like a bad idea," added in Austin ," we aren't going to get any answers just sitting here on the beach doing nothing!"
"I don't know about this... what if we get lost or something?" questioned Patricia who was off near the tree line smoking a cigarette, the last one in her carton.
"We could leave a trail behind, ya' know like Hansel and Gretal. There is plenty of stuff in the cargo hold," exclaimed Brandon as he made his way over to the large door that held all of their goods inside the ship.
Marisa got an attitude look in her face and jumped up from the lawn chair she had been sitting on,"I do not like gettin dirty as it is on this beach.. let alone in the damn jungle!"
Regardless of what Marisa or anyone else had to say they all knew what they had to do. So once everyone had been convinced it would be the best course of action the group of survivors gathered up supplies and started making their way into the jungle to find whatever it was that the Mafia had been looking for.
They walked deeper and deeper into the jungle till they came across footprints in the mud, though smeared, they still led up into the hilly plains of the island.
"This must be the way they went!" yelled Virginia as she awkwardly made marching motions with her feet.
"Why should we trust you? It was your fault that Nikki got killed," murmured Leilah under her breath, but Virginia still heard her.
Virginia turned around and faced Leilah, this caused the line they all had been walking in to stop moving, "I didn't get Nikki killed! We all were thinking it!"
"Please you weren't even thinking straight. We all know you are freakin crazy! You sit there and talk to yourself every night before we all go to bed!" shouted Marisa, who wasn't the only one in a bad mood because of the heat wave that had swept over the island after the rains.
Raji, who had ripped up most of the business suit he had come here wearing because of the heat, looked like a sweaty mess. He came out from the back of the line and got into the argument with everyone else.
"Not to mention that I remember seeing you out of the boat most nights. What could you possible be doing that late at night unless you are out here looking for something!"
Virginia then backed up into a tree as everyone began accusing her of various things, which pissed her off. She dug into her pocket and pulled out a pocket knife and flipped it out, aiming it at Marisa.
"You don't know anything! What I do is my own business and I am offended you would say I could be the one doing all of this!"
Marisa, being the diva that she was, turned up the bitch factor," Hold up... is this bitch holding a knife in my face! Do something!"
Marisa and some of the others began coming in closer to Virginia, in defense she swat the knife in the air. She missed everyone, but this didn't stop some of the group from charging her and knocking her down to the ground. What the didn't know was that behind the tree that Virginia had been pressed up against was a large muddy hill that led into a small stream like the one Scott had seen the Mafia at nights before.
She lost her footing and tumbled down the large hill, breaking her bones and stabbing herself on the various pieces of rigid rock sticking out of the ground. Her life ended when her skull was crushed under against the hard rocks on the side of the stream, spilling blood into its murky waters. The group of survivors were shocked at what just happened.... but death was now something they had grown used to. They continued on their way up towards the hilly plains, even when night fall drew near.
"I can't see shit!" exclaimed Adam
Patricia pulled out the lighter from her pocket and flicked it on ," Looks like we are going to have to camp here. It is getting too dark out!"
Everyone agreed and they made camp in a small alcove in the jungle where the trees weren't as thick and the insects not as plentiful. What would happen in the night though was what everyone was worried about.
Virginia (Kelsielove) the Psycho had been lynched by the Town. Kelsie's powers involved her believing she was the Watcher of the game and because of her Schizophrenia, she saw her targets visiting people who weren't really there.
