The coaches are coming home from a coaches convention when they recieve a phone call from a mysterious person. then they hit a ditch and turned down a ominous, foggy, and bumpy road. A return trip home just turned into a survival of the fiddest as they are stalked by a monster that lives in that swamp.
"Are we gonna run this defense or are we gonna go back to the old way" said Coach Adams "because my secondary is giong to have a hard time adjusting to this"
"No worries" replied Coach Bachtel "This is full proof"
"All I can tell you about this defense is it is going to work" said Coach Laughery. His phone ranged "hold on and let me get this."
Coached answed his phone.
"Hello..."
"This will be the last telephone communication you will have tonight"
"Who is this..."
"You will play a game of survival if you don't turn back and return the way you came."
"Who is this..."
"Its too late"
Then the dial tone came on. Coach Laughery looked at his phone confused. Then in that one second he took his eyes off of the road the bus hit a pothole in the road. The bus started to tilt and veer to the right. Coach Laughery quickly stopped the tilting but was unable to stop the bus from rolling freely down the hill. When they stopped everybody was stiff.
"Is everybody ok?" said Coach Adams
"I am but I don't think Coach Rogers is" said Coach Pate
"What are you talking about" said Coach Rogers "I'm fine"
"Well the bus is smoking so I'm going to check it out" Said Coach Laughery
"I'll help you" said Coach Hampton
While they got off of the bus to check the engine Coach Pate and Coach Rogers was talking about the situation.
"Were stuck here aren't we" said Coach Rogers
"Not a chance" said Coach Pate "And even if we were you wouldn't survive because there is no food"
"Nonsense" said Coach Rogers "ever since I lost all that weight I can go along time without food."
"I have good news and bad news" said Coach Hampton "The good news is the bus engine is fixable and the tire is replaceable. The bad news is we have to stay over night to fix because we aren't going anywhere tonight."
"We can't stay here" said Coach Upchurch "Iv'e got a wife at home"
"We all got a wife at home" said Coach Pate "well everybody but Schaefer"
"Shut up Colby" said Coach Schaefer
"Calm down" said Coach Behrens "this isn't as bad as it looks. They'll fix it and we'll be on our way"
While they were talking Coach Laughery and Coach Hampton were talking outside.
"Should I tell them about the phone call, Lester" said Coach Laughery
"No" said Coach Hampton "It would only make it worse"
"Hey" said Coach Laughery "Where are you going Colby"
"I'm going to get some food for Rich and to call for help" said Coach Pate
"Well hurry back" said Coach Laughery
"He's not coming back" said Coach Hampton
"Yeah" said coach Laughery "but he is dependable"
Coach Hamptons phone rings"
"Hello"
"I see you have survived the first game"
"Who is this..."
"Don't hang up or you die"
"I don't have time for this" said Coach Hampton hanging up.
"Who was that" said Coach Laughery
"Some nut threatening me" said Coach Hampton
As they were talking a noise in the bushes distracts them
"What was that" said Coach Laughery
"I don't know" said Coach Hampton "a rat"
All of the sudden a big dog like creature attacks Coach Hampton
"Lester" yelled Coach Laughery punching the creature
Coach Rogers and Coach Upchurch took care of the creature while Coach Laughery dragged Coach Hampton inside the bus for first aid
"What happened" said Coach Adams "I heard a loud noise and...."
He saw Coach Hampton "What happened to him"
"He was attacked by a creature" said Coach Laughery
"The creature is dead" said Coach Rogers "It's some mutant dog"
"Well whatever it is its covered me in blood" said Coach Upchurch "So I'm going to to clean up."
"I'm next" said Coach Rogers
All of the sudden Coach Hampton starts to breath.
"Lester" said Coach Laughery "Are you ok"
Coach Hampton didn't say a word then he repeated this.
"Beware the phone call for it will be your last
Because the call contains instructions
These instructions if you follow them will determine if you live to see another day.
If you don't answer you will be spared but not of seeing your friend die in the process
Beware the call
Beware the call"
"What does all this mean" said Coach Laughery
"We don't know" said Coach Rogers "we just don't know."
