Chapter 10: The gate to freedom?
As they sat waiting for their relatives, Gordo sat and wondered about something.
Gordo: Wait a second.
Kate: What?
Gordo: The gate is locked right?
Lizzie: Yeah
Gordo: And our parents are coming for us right now, Right?
Miranda: What's your point?
Gordo: The gate is locked and Kent doesn't come back until our 3 months are up. If our relatives are coming, how do they get to us or us get to them.
Miranda: Well, can we climb it?
Lizzie: It's like 10 feet tall and there's hardly anything to hold on to; there's too many spaces.
Ethan: Damn. What are we gonna do now?
Just then, they saw a van arrive. They were recognized by Lizzie.
Lizzie: Their here!
As they got out of the van, they all rushed to the gate shaking it and yelling.
Miranda yelled down to them.
Miranda: HEY GUYS WERE UP HERE!!!
They all looked up.
Lizzie: MOM I'M GONNA CALL YOU ON YOUR CELL!
Lizzie took out her phone and called her mother. It made it better then yelling.
Jo took out her cell and waited for her to call. Suddenly her phone rang. She immediately answered it.
Jo: Lizzie,what's going on? Why are you guys on the roof?
Lizzie: We wanted to see you guys arrive.
Jo: Come down to the gate.
Lizzie: ok.
Lizzie hung up the phone. The kids ran to the door then to the gate.
They finally arrived at the gate and ran to their parents. It was like the kids were in jail and it was visiting hours for the the parents.
Lizzie ran to her mother.
Jo: What's wrong? I wanna be in there with you.
Lizzie: No you don't. Believe me, it's more creepy in here then it is out there.
Jo: That's true.
Then with Miranda and her mom...
Mom: Miranda what's happening?
Miranda: Things are creeping us out... Big time.
Mom: Like what?
Miranda: We found these journals that were written in the 1800s by 6 teens that look exactly like us. We have in out rooms.
Then Gordo saw something in the bush. Gordo ran to it.
Kate: Gordo, where are you going?
Gordo: I see something in the bushes.
Gordo knelt down near the object. It was shiny and silver. He picked it up. It was a kit. He opened it. He couldn't believe his eyes.
Gordo: Larry, come here.
Larry ran to him.
Larry: What?
Gordo: look at this.
Larry: interesting.
It was a lock pick kit.
Gordo: We could use this to open the gate and let them in. Do you know how to use this?
Larry: No.
Gordo: Oh.
A light flashed in his mind. He yelled to Miranda. She came running to him.
Gordo: Do you know how to do this?
Miranda: What? Pick the lock.
Gordo nodded.
Miranda: Yeah sure.
She picked up the kit and walked over to the gate. She took out the first two picks and inserted them into the lock.
Amy: Miranda, can you pick a lock?
Miranda's mom: Yeah Miranda, can you pick a lock?
Miranda's mom looked at her suspiciously wondering how her daughter could pick a lock.
Miranda: Yeah, sorry mom.
Miranda's mom: It's ok, we'll talk about it later. Just pick the lock.
Miranda picked the lock in 5 seconds which amazed everyone that was watching. They pulled off the lock and chains then throw it in the bush where the kit was. They quickly opened the gate and got through to their parents then gave them the biggest hug ever.
As everyone was hugging, Lizzie heard a familiar sound of squeaking. Lizzie looked up and saw a boy coming towards them on a scooter. The little boy was none other then...
Lizzie: Matt!
