A family consisting of a Grandmother named Alice, her son Bailey, his wife and two children; John Wesley and June star are on their way to Florida. According to the news reporters there are prisoners on the loose one man named The Misfit who was committed for murder and is heard to be heading toward Florida. Alice did not want to go because of this she wanted to go to Tennessee. On their way as their driving through Georgia in their black SUV Alice remembered something, an old plantation she used to go to as a young woman right outside the town of Greendale Georgia. It was beautiful she said. It had six white columns across the front and there was an avenue of oaks leading up to it and two little wooden trellis arbors on either side. It also had a hidden secret panel inside. The kids really wanted to go because of that so the adults all agreed to stop there for a bit. They start driving up the dark and eerie road and begin to feel like something's a little off, or strange. Bailey see’s something flash in front of his eyes and he swerves the car and he has no control of the car it just keeps going down the hill to the side of the road. CRASH! They hit a tree. The car finally stopped. “Is everyone okay?” stuttered Bailey “What was that?” his wife said. “I think it was a deer or somethin I’m not sure though” Miraculously everyone is okay except for some cuts a bruises. They have to figure out how to get out. They conclude that they all have to climb out of their windows and the sunroof. When they get out they look up and realize their at the bottom of a hill and see nothing but trees, dirt , and branches. By this time it’s getting dark and they are trying to figure out what to do. “Maybe a car or someone will turn up,” said June Star. “We can’t count on that. We have to find our own way,” Bailey stated. The family tries to climb up the hill with bailey carrying June Star and his wife helping Grandmother up the hill. They get to just about the top of the hill and in the distance they see a something! They see the house. “It’s the house,” shouted Alice. “Let’s go” But it doesn’t look like it used to the paint on the house is all chipped and the wooden trellises have green vines weaving in and out on them and the wood splintered. One of the pillars is about to fall and is no longer that beautiful pearl white but a faded dirty color almost yellowish. The group makes their way to the house and they hear something. A roaring sound like a car would make. They turn around and it’s a light, a car light. “HEY HEY HELP HELP,” shouted everyone but the Grandmother. “STOP,” said the Grandmom. “Don’t say anything” “Why?” questioned John wesley “Because that could be anybody sweety you don’t know, especially with that Misfit on the loose.” The car stops and a man get’s out. He’s a medium height guy with dark hair and dark eyes. He’s wearing a black leather jacket with black jeans. He starts walking up to the house…..click click click click, you can hear his boots go. The family is still it’s like they can’t move. “What are you doin here?” shouted the man. “We've had an accident and now we can’t get where we going,” claimed John and June. “We’ll ya’ll sure can’t stay here. NOW GET,” said the man. Alice has an expression on her face that is somewhere between scared and surprised that no one can really read. “You’re that Misfit,” shouts Alice. Everyone gasps The Misfit pushes the whole family inside. “Now we can’t have people knowin that I’m still here now can we. You need to stay here while I figure this out.” “Figure what out,” Bailey’s wife squealed. As he ignores her. “You’re a bad man,” Said June Star. NO NO ya’ll got it all wrong. I’m not what everyone says I is. I’m not a bad man little girl I didn’t do what everyone says I did. You have to listen here. I was falsely accused and is being framed for that murder I swear it,” pleaded the Misfit. “Why should we believe anything you say?” said bailey. “I know I know but you have to believe me. My real name is Luke Jones and Greendale is where I live. About two years ago I was sent to prison because a man, a very bad man who is from here named Cliff that I went to school with when I was young and he is very wealthy man that’s why he could do this. He framed me for his own sons murder. This kid was only 17 I could never do that to a kid. I have my own son and if anyone ever laid a hand on him I would kill em. But now he is going after my son Cole and i’m just tryin to protect em. My son and his friends have recently been digging into my case because they think I’m innocent even when I told the police I’m guilty,” Luke said “Then why you tell them you did it when you just said you didn’t?” Asked John Wesley. “Because I did do something wrong I deserved to be in the pen but ya’ll have to see it from my point of view. As soon as I heard Cliff was startin to threaten Cole I had to break out there,” Luke stated. “What did you do?” said Alice “You have to think in my shoes alright. What if this was your son I hope you would do the same. Cliff was always arguing with his son Kevin over one thing or another. Cliff is completely insane. He came to me and asked me to help kill him and cover it up. “Why would he think you would help him?” Muttered Alice “I have a past. A not so great one that I ain’t proud of, I was young. Everyone got a passed but let’s just say I wasn’t involved with the greatest people when I was young. I’ve been tryin to be a better person for my family. So because of this he thought I would help him but when I refused he got angry and started threatening me that if I didn’t help em he would hurt my son. I had to but I said I wouldn’t help kill him that just ain’t right. This man just ain’t right in the head. The night he killed He wouldn’t tell me when he was doin it because I think he thought I would call the cops or stop him, which he was right bout. He called me the night he was doin it. He made me go there after with some of my old let’s just call them associates and he told us to make it look like nothing happened there.” Protested Luke. Gasps fly through the air. I’m so ashamed of what I’ve done but I ain’t have no choice and after we did what he said to do he still framed me for something I ain’t do.” The group hears a humming noise. “What was that?” Bailey’s wife croaked. “Hold on stay right here,” Luke demanded. While luke goes and checks to see what that was the family tries to make a plan to escape. “This guy’s crazy we have to get out of here now,” Bailey said. “I don’t know I kind of feel bad for him,” bailey’s wife states. The kids have been looking around without any of them noticing. “LOOK!” shouts June star. “Shhh,” her grandmother said. “No grandmother look” “Oh my goodness it’s the secret panel that leads outside why didn’t I recognize that before.” They are about to pile into the panel to make a run for it when they hear front door open “Creekkk” the panel makes when they open it. Luke turns around. “ HEY don’t even think bout it. Get back here you can’t go anywhere just yet.” Luke threatened. Here comes Luke and Five teenagers in the door; his son Cole, Ronnie, Maddie, James, and Elizabeth who is also Cliff’s daughter. “I’m guessing that’s his son and his friends,” Alice whispers. What are you guys doing here? You can’t be here,” warned Luke “Who are these people? Are you keeping them here dad?” Says Cole. “I can’t let them go until we figures this out. They were already here,” explains Luke. “You can’t keep them here there human beings I didn’t think you were that kind of person.” “There are a lot of things you don’t know and and understand bout me son,” snorted Luke. Luke pushes the family into a room and locks the door. “Well you won’t have to keep for long. Look we found,” Elizabeth says. She’s holding up a flash drive. What’s in it?” Asks Luke. It’s a video and it proves you’re innocent,” said Elizabeth. “What are you talking bout” “Just watch,” James says. They all sit down and plug it into their computer. It starts out with Kevin and he’s being held by someone. The next thing you know there is a shadow, a man’s shadow and someone is walking in…..Cliff. It’s Cliff. Everyone gasps and their mouths are wide open. Liz’s face is indescribable, this awful look. No one can imagine how she feels that she just saw her father. That he was there when this person did this to him. But she has no Idea what’s coming. He steps in front of his son and his face is blank. It’s like the person inside of him has disappeared like there’s no one in there. He reaches behind him to get something and what happens next you won’t believe. No one would believe. “BOOM!” Everyone jumps and tears fall down the girls faces. “Oh Elizabeth I’m so sorry,” everyone says Liz holding the laptop closes in and runs for the door. She opens the door and is about to run out when she literally runs into someone...her father. Cliff what are you doing here you need to leave now.” snapped luke. Liz holds her hand up. She puts it down and looks her father straight in the face with a look that could kill. “You did a bad thing. And now everyone’s going to know.” He looks at her that back behind him then back at her. “I’m sorry,” Cliff said. He turns around and starts running away from the house when he get’s half way through the grass the family; Alice, Bailey, his wife, June Star, and John Wesley are all standing there with their arms crossed with their faces kind of saying you’re not gonna get away with this. When he tries to run here comes police lights and sirens. The five police cars swerve and surround him and the house. “Put your hands where I can see them and whoever is in the house come out with your hands up,” the police shouts. Cliff puts his hands up and one of the officers handcuffs him and says you are under arrest for the murder of Kevin and shoves him into the police car. The kids including Luke come walking out and are confused when they see the family. “Wait how did they get out?” Luke asked. The police officer comes over to them. He says “These people said they found a secret panel in the room you locked them in. They got out and found a phone and told us you were in here but you didn’t kill that poor kid, Cliff did. The man Bailey over there said he heard through the door you have a video to prove it. “Yeah we do,” says Maddie. They plug it back in and open the laptop. The sheriff watches it and he is shocked too since he knew Cliff and his family his whole life. But there's more on the drive. Everyone stares at the computer when they see Luke and the other men walk in to clean up the mess. Cole looks at his father with disgust but more disappointment. Cole starts backing up. “No no this isn’t right” Cole gulped. “I’m sorry son I was just trying to protect you he was threatening your life and I couldn't let you get hurt,” Luke states. “But why didn’t you say anything.” “I didn’t want you to hate me I’m sorry son,” Luke pleaded as he gets handcuffed and is about to be put into another police car. Right before he get’s into the cop car Cole runs up and hugs him. “I’ll get you out I promise,” he whispered to him. “I love you son. I’ll see you soon.” Alice looks at her family and says “Next year going to Tennessee instead.” and everyone agrees.
