A branch snapped loudly. Cameron swiftly turned around, observing his surroundings. There was nothing. He continued to walk through the dense woods.

"Who's there?!" shouted Cameron nervously. He heard nothing except his repeating echo. Cameron ran and didn't stop running until the faint light from the treehouse was in sight. Then, he heard more rustling.

"Good morning," muttered a voice behind him. Cameron shrieked as he turned around; it was a tall, skinny boy with black hair.

"Oh, hey," said Cameron. "Sorry, you scared me; why are you wearing a suit in the middle of a forest?"

"Hey, Cameron!" shouted Pat from the treehouse. "Where have you been?"

"Sorry, I got lost in the woods," he responded. The kid behind him waved at Pat. Pat shyly waved back.

"I'm Stewart, salutations," said the kid. "Stewart Toms, that is. I just moved here a few days ago."

"Welcome," greeted Henry, who just arrived at the treehouse. "I'm Henry," he shook Stewart's hand.

"So, how do you people spend your time in such a fancy abode?" asked Stewart.

"Um, it's a treehouse, first of all," said Henry. "Secondly, we just draw comics and have fun."

"Are you Good Oak Comics Incorporated?" he asked. "I have divulged some of my free time to read your cartoon narratives."

"We are," said Cameron. "Are you interested in purchasing a comic?"

"I am interested in applying for a position at your enterprise," Stewart responded. Henry laughed.

"Come on in," said Henry, motioning Stewart to follow him. "Welcome to our' fancy abode'." Henry made quotation marks with his fingers and laughed again.

"Who's this?" asked Jacob from the window.

"Greetings, sir. I am Stewart Toms, I am interested in applying for a position here."

"We're not hiring."

"Are you sure? I have done some research on your corporation. It appears as if you require a finance manager, which happens to be the position I am applying for."

"Henry, is this some practical joke?" asked Jacob.

"No, I've never seen this guy in my life," snorted Henry. He looked at Stewart. "Why are you wearing a suit? You didn't answer Cameron's question."

"This is a job interview, is it not?"

"Usually, job interviews are planned ahead of time, dude," said Cameron. "Plus, you heard Jacob. We're not hiring."

"Clearly, Jacob has not considered my job proposal. He clearly has more power than you do in this corporation, so I will listen to his decision."

"Are you deaf?" asked Jacob angrily. He climbed down the ladder of the treehouse. "I said that we are not hiring. I don't care if you want a finance position; Henry manages our money, and he manages it well."

"Why thank you," sneered Henry.

"Are you the head of this enterprise?" asked Stewart. "If not, I would like to speak with—"

Jacob shoved Stewart to the ground. "Go away; don't come back," he growled.

"Jacob, chill," said Cameron. Pat climbed down from the treehouse ladder.

"Sir, I will press charges if you damage my suit one bit," said Stewart angrily. He stood up. "Now, let me speak with your manager or else—"

Jacob punched Stewart in the stomach.

"Jacob!" shouted Pat. Jacob took off Stewart's jacket and pushed him to the ground. "Dude, cut it out!" Pat grabbed Jacob's arm, but he quickly broke free. He kicked Stewart in the ribs.

"Alright, Jacob. He's had enough," said Henry. Jacob ignored him.

"Leave, don't come back," he commanded at Stewart. Jacob threw his jacket on the ground and stepped on it.

Stewart coughed as he stood up. He snatched his jacket and said: "I will get my revenge against you foul children someday, mark my words." He ran away.

"What a coward," Jacob snorted.

"Don't you think you were a bit harsh?" asked Pat. "What if he sabotages us or something?"

Jacob just laughed. "What is he going to do about it? You saw him, he's a total chicken." He climbed back up the ladder into the treehouse.

"Yeah," Pat muttered to himself. "What is he going to do about it?"
