As Ari walked up to the front, he tried to get a peek at the jar, but PD Emily quickly handed it over to another staff member and made them stand in a line.
"The four of you are going to be team 1. Who wants to be the team captain and be in charge overall?"
"I'll do it." William quickly stepped forward with a smug smile.
"Any objections?" PD Emily glanced at the 3 of them in turn, spending the longest time on Ari, but everyone shook their head.
"Excellent, then here you go, William. You're your team's official videographer and packmule." At PD, Emily's words, a staff member brought a wooden basket that contained a handheld video camera, matching red vests with branding stickers, an ugly backpack with more branding, extra batteries, and other miscellaneous items, and quickly handed it to William.
As the blonde boy looked between the basket and the PD with an angry expression, PD Emily waved them off and took the glass jar filled with Popsicle sticks being handed to her.
