22. One of the students joke ‘If there is something out there we’ll just scream, I’m going to keep recording encase there is anything creeeppppyyyy’, ‘yeah, yeah just go’; the others reply.

31-33. The two students carry on walking towards him as they want to know whether he will be safe or not as he is only a child and they also wanted to get their phone back. Nobody would expect a little kid to be bad so they do not even think of their safety.
