Oh I finally updated! Thanks everyone who reviewed I really appreciated it! I hope you like this chapter and please review!

The next day after digging D-tent had another meeting. This one was about Barf Bag, but also about something else.

"So Mom whats the deal with Barf Bag?"

X-ray looked at his feet whenever he talked about Barf Bag. Being the leader of D-tent X-ray took partial responsibility for Barf Bag becoming a "biter," even though it wasn't his entire fault.

"Well Rex, He is going to be put on a kind of probation. We are required to wait one month and see if he will be able to return to camp and if not then we will get a new member added to our team." There was silence as these words sunk in around the circle of folding chairs. "But, on a happier note I have just received a letter from the state saying that our friend Frosty is going to be released tomorrow!"

There was a round of cheers and congratulations thrown Frosty's way, but Frosty's excitement was drowned out by a little disappointment.

Great, Frosty thought to himself, I finally get a little respect and then I have to leave; now that is what you call ironic. I guess I'll never find out what happened to Python though…

The meeting ended shortly after and the rest of the boys including Frosty went back to the tent and started to talk.

"So frosty what are you going to do first after you get outta this hell hole?"

Frosty shrugged as he sat down on his cot.

"I dunno; probably take a really long shower." Everyone laughed. "Hey you guys I have been thinking." Magnet groaned, but then smiled to let Frosty know he was only joking. "Python's mom we're assuming is the warden…right?" There was a murmur of agreement. "Alright, then that means that there was something in this camp that Python knew about that the warden didn't. Now where is the one place that the warden never goes and never has any idea what goes on?"

There was silence as the boys thought this over. Finally after a few minutes Squid grunted and then laughed.

"The showers."

Zigzag's eyes got wide.

"No Squid, you're wrong, she does know what goes on in the showers…remember the m-i-k-e-r-o-f-o-n-e-s…"

Everyone laughed at Zigzag, but it was unclear weather they were laughing at his paranoia or weather they were laughing at his misspelling microphones. It was probably both because some of the boys probably didn't know how to spell microphone themselves. Once X-ray had finished laughing he began to think out loud.

"The warden knows everything man, are you sure there is one place that she never goes?" Frosty nodded.

"Digging." Everyone's head spun around as Armpit sat in the corner. It has been two times now that Armpit had figured out something before the rest of the tent. This had to be a record. "No guys think about it, we never even knew the warden was a girl until Frosty told us so, and that is because we had never seen her before. She never fills our canteens, she never brings us our meals, and she never comes out when we're digging."

This was true, Squid thought about all the times that they had gotten water and all the times they had been digging and he never saw the warden come near them. Armpit was right Python knew about something that was out on the lake that the warden didn't. But what was it?

X-ray continued to think out loud.

"So what could it be…?"

Frosty was getting tired of waiting for them to get the answer. Although he was patient because he realized that they, unlike him, had not had a few weeks of the silent treatment that gave him nothing, but time to think.

"Come on you guys why do you think we're digging holes?" Frosty looked at them all before continuing. "We're looking for something, but the question is what?"

For the next half hour they contemplated the various things they could be looking for, but none of them seemed reliable. It wasn't until Zigzag pulled the picture of kissing Kate back out of his pocket that they finally made some progress.

"Hey you guys remember this picture and what it said on the back?" Zigzag flipped the picture over and began to read:

Katherine Anne Barlow- 1905

When the lake is gone and dried you will search

You will look for something that is not there

It is right under your nose you just have to see

In the water were he died it lies with me.

You will look one hundred years

Many will die and shed tears

You might as well stop looking now

It does not belong to you and never will be

I wish you good luck,

K.B.

"See we're looking for something that is with Kissing Kate. And it says we will have to search for 100 years. Look at the date Katherine Anne Barlow-1905; it is 2005 right now that means that it has been 100 years!"

X-ray shook his head as he took the picture from Zigzag and quickly read it again in his head.

"No man, it is weird enough that we're buying into all this already, but now you think we are here to fulfill some kind of twisted prophecy?"

Zigzag shrugged.

"I dunno, why not?"

X-ray just raised and lowered one shoulder and then sat back down on his cot. Meanwhile Frosty had been thinking and finally came to a conclusion.

"You know what I think?" Frosty said with a smile.

"What?" Everyone replied at once.

"I think that we need to go up the stairs one more time."

Everyone looked at each other and then began to smile. As much as they hated Frosty as few days ago, they were really glad that they were speaking to him again.

Once it had gotten dark and everyone else went asleep they quietly slipped out of the tent and made their way to the staircase. From experience they had gotten much more efficient at sneaking out of the tent after hours. Within five minutes they were at the top of the staircase and Squid was picking the lock. Once they were inside the first room they headed right for the bookcase moved it a little and went up the stair case that was now exposed. They quickly reached the top of the stairs and went into the second room that they had visited two other times. Frosty led the way to the dresser drawers that had all the news paper clippings and pictures.

"You guys look for anything that will give us the legend of Kissing Kate Barlow. We need to know what we're looking for. You know incase the legend gives us specifics."

Everyone followed Frosty's orders and spread out looking for anything that might help.

After an hour of searching Magnet finally held up a book titled Bandits, Robbers, and others of the 18th century and motioned for everyone to come and see it. He showed them the picture that was on the corresponding page. It was a drawing of the same redheaded lady they have been seeing all over the place. Magnet took a deep breath and started to read:

Katherine Anne Barlow was born in 1885 and began her life as a schoolteacher in Green Lake Texas, but what started as a small, quiet, and peaceful town as was soon at the mercy of this young woman. Legend says that she turned bad because of a fight she had with the sheriff over a relationship she was having with an African-American man. This of course was illegal at the time. Regardless of what the argument was about Kate shot the sheriff and gave him a kiss. There was a lip print mark left where her lips had been and she took up the name "Kissing Kate Barlow."

For the next ten years Kissing Kate robbed every bank, estate, and train from Houston to outer parts of what is now California. No one survived an attack from Kate and her band of loyal followers, except one man Stanley Yelnats. After being stranded in the desert for forty days he was finally found, but his mental heath was unstable so there are no clear conclusions from any interview with the man.

Shortly after Yelnat's rescue Kate was found dead by an old boat in the middle of what use to be her home town. She died of a fatal lizard bite. It is said that before she passed away she buried all of her treasure in the lake bed and never told anyone where it was. Kate died in 1905.

Magnet looked up from the book.

"We're looking for treasure…"

His voice trailed off as they heard the sound of voices coming from the camp below. From the sound of it B-ten had decided to vandalize yet another building in the camp and all the councilors had been woken up to try to stop the commotion. They quickly left the building and went back to their tent.

The next morning a big yellow bus was waiting for Frosty as soon as they woke up. Quickly Frosty packed everything he had into his backpack and said good-bye to the rest of D-tent. He promised to write to them and they promised to keep him filled in on what was happening with the Kate Barlow situation. Once they said good-bye Frosty stepped into the bus and disappeared into the mountain of swirling dust.

Only a few hours later D-tent saw a similar looking bus coming back into camp. This had to be Frosty's replacement. They quickly finished digging so they could meet the new camper. For the first time they all got finished at the same time, and walked back to camp together. As they were walking X-ray decided that they needed to set some rules.

"Alright guys I have been thinking and I decided that we can't tell this new guy about what is going on. Now that we know that treasure is involved we can't tell anyone, not to mention he might turn out to be a sell-out or spy for the warden. So we can not talk about it around him and if you do, you're gonna be sorry…alright?"

Everyone agreed. They had decided the might before that if they found the treasure they were going to split it equally between themselves and even Barf Bag because he had helped them, even though he was gone now.

When they got into the tent they saw Mom waiting for them. Standing next to him was a small black boy with messy hair. Mom called him Hector.

"Introduce yourselves to Hector…like gentlemen."

They all introduced themselves and gave him the annual new person cold shoulder. It was tradition at Camp Green Lake to be mean to the new kid, until they had a nickname. It was also tradition to ask the new kid a ton of questions and make them feel uncomfortable. It was Zigzag's turn.

"So Hector, what are you in for?"

Hector looked at Zigzag and said nothing.

"Well?"

Once again there was silence.

"Do you ever talk?"

Hector just stood there and said nothing. Soon Zigzag was bored and went to the wreck room and left Hector alone in the tent still sitting in silence.
