Dependency
the confession
Tommy and cameron are on a field trip in alaska with their middle school.
they are in a rest area where everyone is eating lunch.
young Tommy
Hey Cameron your barley touching your food, are you feeling ok?
Cameron kapperman
yeah im just trying to figure out why?
Cameron kapperman
ok you remember when my dad passed away
young Tommy
of course I do that was a very hard time for you, I stayed at your house for two month's to help you cope with your loss
young Tommy
I don't like seeing anyone in that type of pain,I didn't want you to go through that alone
Cameron kapperman
and I couldn't be more grateful for a friend like you Tommy, you left your family for two months to help me out in my time of need
young Tommy
well my parents always told me to treat others how you would want to be treated, and if im in need of help i would want someone to help me or even just spend some time with me
Cameron kapperman
yeah totally i understand that
Cameron kapperman
well now I do since I have experienced it with you, you know when you came to my house and spent time with me to help me cope with the loss of my dad
young Tommy
sometimes you have to experience to understand
Cameron kapperman
I know that now thank you
young Tommy
your very welcome
young Tommy
now is that why your not eating? because your upset about the passing of your father
Cameron kapperman
well yes
Cameron kapperman
well yes and no
tommy gave cameron a very confused look
Cameron kapperman
I will explain
Cameron kapperman
so yes im still upset about losing my dad
Cameron kapperman
im always going to miss him
Cameron kapperman
but im not eating because im trying to figure out who caused it and why
young Tommy
what do you mean who I thought he passed away from natural causes
Cameron kapperman
that's what I thought too
young Tommy
what are you talking about there is no other proof but what came back from the autopsy
Cameron kapperman
look i may not have any real proof but I do have my suspicions
young Tommy
ok im listening
Cameron kapperman
so before my dad went missing he was acting weird, and of course I was going to catch on to that because im with him all the time
young Tommy
yes I remember you two spent a lot of time together
Cameron kapperman
like when i say weird he wouldn't come home for days
Cameron kapperman
and when he did come home for it was like he was avoiding me
Cameron kapperman
but what I really don't get are these journals
young Tommy
but doesn't his work consists of him carrying and writing in journals
young Tommy
I thought your dad was a researcher
Cameron kapperman
yes but these journals aren't his
young Tommy
these wait you have them with you?
Cameron pulls out the journals from his bag
Cameron shows Tommy everything that's in the journal
Cameron kapperman
see what i mean
the instructor calls out and tells everyone that it's time to start back walking on the mountain trails
Bobby Jenkins
come on you two its time to go we have to keep moving now
young Tommy
come on cameron we can discuss this later or while we walk
Cameron kapperman
sure thing
young Tommy
but are you sure you are going to be fine because your really didn't eat anything
Cameron kapperman
I will be fine I have snacks my mom packed them
young Tommy
of you need any extras in have some snacks too
the group wrapped up their lunch break and kept moving up the mountain
the start of a clue
as the group continues to move up the mountain Tommy notices that cameron has fell behind
so Tommy decides to fall back and he begins to walk alongside Cameron
young Tommy
Snow slowing you down?
Cameron kapperman
well it is cold but i'll manage
young Tommy
yeah I know you can do it l, because I have seen you manage things before
Cameron kapperman
what like my moms garden
young Tommy
well I was talking about overcoming hard times in life
Cameron kapperman
that was a hard time!
Cameron kapperman
I hurt my hand shoveling
Cameron kapperman
I cried for day's
Cameron kapperman
no not really
Cameron kapperman
but I did hurt my hand tho, I only cried when i had to use it for something
Cameron kapperman
but I never poured any tears
young Tommy
so you whined?
Cameron kapperman
excuse me?
young Tommy
yeah you were whining like what little kids do when they don't get their way
young Tommy
I say that because you said you didn't produce any tears but sometimes kids do produce tears when they whine
Cameron kapperman
but we are kids! your 11 and im 12
young Tommy
the age range in was going for was like 10 and under tho
young Tommy
but never mind
Cameron kapperman
no your good dude I was just joking with you
Cameron kapperman
but yeah whining better explains it
young Tommy
yep that's why I said it
Cameron kapperman
yeah you did
right before Cameron could finish his sentence something else grabs his attention
Cameron kapperman
Hey tommy look over their!
Cameron start's to run off trail from the group into another area of the mountain
young Tommy
Hey tommy what is it
Cameron kapperman
come on dude
young Tommy
no we are already far behind from everyone else this stupid
cameron stops and turns to Tommy
Cameron kapperman
maybe so
Cameron start's back running agian
Tommy starts running behind Cameron
tommy runs for a while then stops when he sees that Cameron has stopped
young Tommy
dude what is it
Cameron kapperman
hey check this out
Cameron points to something on the ground
young Tommy
yeah its a pile of snow big deal, I can't believe you ran over here because of this
Cameron kapperman
wait wait
Cameron kapperman
not just a pile of snow
cameron start's to unpile the pile of snow
young Tommy
and why does it smell so bad
Cameron kapperman
because its rotten
young Tommy
how did you know that was there?
Cameron kapperman
I didn't until now
Cameron kapperman
the reason why I ran this why is because I thought I saw someone
young Tommy
I didn't see anybody
Cameron kapperman
well he ran away as soon I saw him
young Tommy
but there are no foot prints in the snow tho
Cameron kapperman
yeah that's a little weird
Cameron kapperman
but I know that I saw someone tho
Cameron kapperman
the reason why I thought something was under this pile is because this is a fresh pile. but you really never know until you start digging
Cameron kapperman
and there are no holes in the ground so the only other reason to have a pile full of something is to cover up something else
young Tommy
but why would someone hid rotten meat, the only thing that I hide underneath a pile is either a trap or something kinda valuable
Cameron turns and looks at tommy with huge eyes
young Tommy
what, what is it
Cameron kapperman
dude I think this is a trap
Cameron kapperman
yeah because underneath the pile is this meat and its rotten which gives off a very bad smell and in some cases that brings
after Cameron says the word brings both boys heres growls coming from all sides
young Tommy
(gasp) wolves!
Cameron kapperman
well I was going to say animals particularly predators
Cameron kapperman
it depends where we are
Cameron kapperman
but in this particular situation yes it wovles
Cameron kapperman
because we are in Alaska and Alaska are home to McKenzie valley wolves
young Tommy
what are we going to do?
Cameron kapperman
I have no idea
the wolves are getting really close to cameron and tommy, but all of a sudden someone throws something
the object hits the ground rolls and explodes
Cameron kapperman
its a smoke grenade
smoke fills the air very quickly, and the two boys starts to cough
Cameron kapperman
lets get out of here
tommy tries to follow but because of the smoke it makes it difficult to see and he runs off in a different direction then Cameron
young Tommy
cameron where did you go
a wolf comes from out of no where and leaps at tommy
the wolf knocks tommy down and he starts to rolls down a hill
hey is coming up fast on a tree
he sees the tree but he can't control him self and he hits the tree hard
he comes up on another tree and hits that one two
then second tree knocks him unconscious and he keeps rolling until he momentum finally slows down and he falls into a small creek of water
