Chapter one
"We need to clean up quick, Mom is coming any minute now for the meeting," Magnet said as he came running into D tent.
"I can't be bothered cleaning up," Armpit moaned, looking around the pig sty of a tent.
"I think we'd better," Caveman said sighing, "You remember how long Mom lectured us for last time,"
Zigzag fidgeted slightly before saying, "Yeah I agree, this place is a total mess anyway,"
"But I'm comfortable with it this way!" Armpit complained.
"You'd be comfortable even if we lived in the sewers!" Magnet said rolling his eyes.
"Remember last time when we left this place a mess," X ray said, getting off his cot, "Mr Sir came in and started yelling at us, we got put on dinner duties for a week!" With that all the D tenters hopped off their cots and started to tidy stuff up.
"Where the hell is Squid?" Magnet asked as he stuffed all his clothes (which were strewn all over the floor) into his crate, "He needs to help too,"
"I don't know," Zigzag said wildly, "It's odd, you know, he always disappears about this time,"
"Normally I wouldn't agree with Zig and his crazy assumptions, but that is true," X ray said, hastily making his bed.
"I saw him coming out the Warden's cabin at about this time yesterday," Caveman said, putting all his pieces of paper in his stationary box. The boys all exchanged glances.
"Ooooh, I wonder what could be going on there," Magnet said, laughing slightly.
"Ew!" Caveman exclaimed, "That is just gross, don't even go there!" The rest of D tent laughed.
"Mom's gonna be here any minute and look at the state of Squid's cot!" X ray said.
"oh, I'll clean it!" Magnet said, seeing as no one else seemed to offer.
He began hurriedly stuffing Squid's stuff in his crate and making the bed.
"Don't forget to do under the bed, Mom always checks there," X ray reminded him.
Magnet muttered something grumpily in Spanish. He ducked under the bed and saw that there were a lot of clothes and forgotten pairs of underwear there.
"Ew! Dirty underwear!" Magnet exclaimed as he gingerly pulled them out and flung them into Squid's crate. Magnet pulled out Squid's cuddly- toy octopus, "Awww here's his lil octopus!" Magnet said laughing, giving it a hug.
X ray grabbed it off him, "Look at it! It's all torn, he could at least have a decent one," he chucked it back at Magnet.
Magnet stuffed it in the almost- filled- to- the- brim crate.
He went back under the bed and shoved aside loads of clothes to find a small wooden box.
"What the hell-" he said aloud pulling it out.
All the boys looked at him.
"What's that!" Armpit asked.
"Don't know," Magnet mumbled, he started to undo the latch.
"Don't open it!" Caveman said, "There might be some personal stuff in there!"
"Shut up!" X ray said, "Open it Mag," Magnet slowly opened the lid and inside was some photographs and some letters and a CD.
He looked up at the others quizzically.
He got out the CD, it was Vanessa Carlton (a thousand miles) it had a note attached to the front. It said;
For Alan,
Thinking of you
Love,
Yasmin
There were three photos.
One showed Squid with a girl who must have been about 15. She had long black hair which was tied neatly into a pony tail and was smiling down at a little baby which was in her arms.
Squid was beaming down at the baby too. Judging by the blue clothes the baby must have been a boy.
The next photo showed Squid sitting down on a moth- eaten sofa which the baby in his arms. The baby was looking up at Squid with it's big chocolate brown eyes.
Squid had the same happy expression on his face.
The final photo had a picture of the dark- haired girl who was sitting on a faded carpet. The baby sat beside her, it looked as though it was laughing. It was holding Squid's octopus.
There were two letters.
Magnet read them aloud.
To Alan,
Me and Alex are missing you so much. I can't wait until the you come home, I really need you to be with us. We are coping, just. So don't worry about us, we are fine. We will be together soon though, Alan. I am counting down the days. Remember, I love you so, so much and I always will.
Love,
Yasmin
The second letter said;
To Alan,
Alex said his first word today. It was ,"dad," I know you would be so pleased. I am so sad that you missed it though. I know you would of loved to have been there. I'm finding it hard to pay rent on the apartment but I have took up a new job, it pays a little more but is longer hours. I think I will be able to cope now.
Love you loads and loads
Yasmin
Magnet looked up at the rest of D tent. They all had the same dumbstruck expression on their faces.
"I think there's something Squid isn't telling us," Magnet said…..
