Chapter 12: Mr. Bun-Bun Comes in Handy…
I was astounded. I never expected to find anything of this magnitude at a dinky festival. I wonder who it belongs to?
I turned to Annie, who was now deep in conversation with Mr. Bun-Bun.
"So you think that perhaps Jack and Clu and those mystery ladies have something to do with this?" she asked Mr. Bun-Bun.
I can't believe she's talking to a stuffed rabbit. And what's sad is I think Mr. Bun-Bun's right.
"Annie!!" I cried, "We lost track of where those women were taking Clu and Jack!!!"
Annie frowned, "Well, they have to be somewhere around here, I mean, those two women did say they were in charge of this festival."
Since when did Annie become smart?
"Wow, Annie, that's actually a really smart observa…"
"Hmm?" she asked, dancing with Mr. Bun-Bun.
"Never mind."
We left the tent and began to walk through the festival, looking for any sign of Clu or Jack. I had just about given up when I saw a bright blue flash ahead of us. It was Clu's shirt!!!
"Annie, I see Clu, come on!!"
We ran through the crowd, taking care to not be seen. We followed until we reached the edges of the festival, and saw the tall blonde leading Clu into a small shack a couple hundred yards away. Peering around I headed up to the shack, Annie right behind me. The door was slightly open and I turned to Annie.
"Open the door…" I hissed.
Annie walked over and gently nudged the door. It swung open.
"Nice security precautions…" I muttered.
I peered into the shack. It was one room, fairly dark and dusty, with a table and two chairs set up inside it and an obviously unused fireplace in the corner. There was not, however any sign of Clu, Jack, or the women. I walked in, expecting the floorboards to creak, but they were surprisingly silent. I turned and grabbed Annie, pulling her in with me. If I was gonna get caught, I certainly wasn't gonna be the only one!!!!!!!
Annie looked around.
"Where'd they go?" she asked.
"That's what I'm trying to figure out…" I said softly.
I walked across the room, peering around for any sort of secret room or portal.
"Damn… I have no idea where they could be…"
"AAAAHHHHH!!!!" cried Annie, hurling Mr. Bun-Bun across the room.
"Annie!!!!" I hissed, "You'll get us caught!!!"
"But there was a spider on Mr. Bun-Bun and whoa…" Annie trailed off; her eyes as large as quarters.
I turned quickly. Mr. Bun-Bun had landed on the mantel of the fireplace, and where once was a fireplace now was a tunnel.
"Well…I guess Mr. Bun-Bun came in handy…" I whispered to Annie as we made our way over to the tunnel and began to walk the sloping downward spiral.
I was astounded. I never expected to find anything of this magnitude at a dinky festival. I wonder who it belongs to?
