"What? Court? What are you doing?" asked Jose.

"I-I-Well-The-They caught me." She said.

"B-B-But you didn't do anything wrong." Said Evan

"I know. But I was out of the hospital." She said. "They got Timmy too." She said.

"No!" said Hannah.

Court nodded. "My parents and Tim went out of the house to get me and then the police grabbed me and Timmy and told my parents a whole bunch of bad things that I did and that it was Timmy's fault too. My parents are in one of the police cars now." She said all of this very fast.

"Where's Timmy now?" asked Hannah "In a different police car" said Coutni.

"Come on kids, its ok. Take it easy, we're not gonna hurt you." Said the police officer holding Court.

"My name is Officer Jason Bates." He said. "Let's just get into the car, with no struggles ok?" he asked.

Hannah shook her head. "Come on little girl." He said. She shook her head again. Evan looked at Grace and gave her the eye. She understood that it meant to be quiet. The police officer led them into separate cars and drove them to the police station.

One Day Later

Jose, Evan, Hannah, Grace, Timmy, and Court were all sitting on chairs in the courtroom. Court and Timmy's parents were crying. Mrs. Guillen/Wallace didn't even show. She was probably taken to jail. Grace felt so sorry for Evan and Jose. Their own mother doesn't even show up at court to support them.

"Mr. and Mrs. Pearl?" the lady judge asked. Courtni and Timmy's parents stood up.

"Yes, your honor?" asked Mr. Pearl.

"Do you realize the consequences for such actions that your children have committed sir?" Judge Judi Moore asked. "With all due respect, your honor, I don't believe that my children would do such a thing to the community." Mr. Pearl said.

"What are you trying to say Mr. Pearl?" the judge asked.

"Well, my children are only 8 years of age and are physically incapable of breaking into the local hospital and kidnapping 2 kids." Said Mr. Pearl

"With all due respect, with the help of Evan Wallace and Grace Stansburry, and possibly others, it doesn't seem so physically impossible, now, does it Mr. Pearl?" Judi Moore had a poisoning look on her face like she was set out to put Mr. Pearl behind bars as well.

"You may be seated now." She said to Mr. Pearl. He didn't move.

"I don't believe that Evan and Grace did it either, you honor." He said. Wow! He was risking his freedom for Evan and Grace too.

"Silence! You may be seated now, Mr. Pearl." She said, with her teethe bared. Mr. Pearl was about to speak again when Mrs. Pearl grabbed his hand and shook her head. "Don't." she whispered.

"Now, for breaking into the hospital, for kidnapping 2 kids, for destruction of hospital property, for disturbance of peace, and for not arriving at St. Cuttlebone's Academy, Mr. Evan D. Wallace and Miss Grace M. Stansburry will be sentenced to 18 months at a Juvenile Correctional Facility." Judge Moore said, loving every word of it.

"And for going along with the drama, Mr. Jose C. Wallace, Miss Hannah R. Stansburry, Mr. Timmy L. Pearl, and Miss Courtni Elizabeth M. Pearl are sentenced to 18 months at the same Juvenile Correctional Facility." She said.

"Does this so-called Juvenile Correctional Facility got a name?" asked Evan, rudely.

"Yes, as a matter of fact, it does Mr. Wallace. Camp Green Lake. And believe me, your not gonna like the lake." She said. Mr. and Mrs. Pearl started crying.

"What? We don't even get a choice between jail or a Juvenile Correctional Facility?" asked Grace.

"No, Miss Stansburry, you don't." Judge Moore said, coldly, yet happily. "Court dismissed." She said.

One the bus

"I can't believe this! How can that witch of a woman, what's her face...Judi Moore get away with this?" yelled Grace, walking back and forth on the hallway of the bus that's taking them to Camp Green Lake.

"I know, Grace, but there's nothing we can do about it now." Said Evan. Hannah, Jose, Court, and Timmy fell asleep on the drive. They have been driving for about 8 hours and they're still not even close to arriving. They flew on a plane to Texas and are now driving to Green Lake. Grace sat down on one of the seats in the bus and started crying. Evan walked over from his spot in the bus and sat next to her.

"We'll get through this together, Grace. I promise you." Evan said, putting his arm around her shoulders. Grace just cried into his shoulder. He started stroking her hair. Grace fell into an uneasy sleep on Evan's shoulder.

Arrival

The bus stopped abruptly. Grace jumped up, surprised, and then she looked out the window. She saw a lot of boys walking in long sleeve orange jumpsuits into the camp. Holding...shovels? Every boy looked badly burned, exhausted, and hungry. There was no green whatsoever. And no lake. It didn't look like much of a camp either. It looked more like a ghost town full of sand. Grace saw only one girl, with a sleeveless orange jumpsuit, holding hands with a boy, walking to camp from the desert.
