Everyone wants to be the hero and they are starting to plateau working individually.”“You guys in?” I look at my friends and I know their answers before they say anything. We all smile at each other.“What are the rules? What do we get when we win?” Jena asks and Lil and I both laugh.“Basically the kids put a flag out and you all have to get it without being tagged by them and get it back to the starting line.
