Grace looked around inside the boat. It was a lot cooler and it was really cozy.
"So, what's the Sploosh that you were talking about Zero?" she asked him.
"Oh! I found it in the boat." He handed her, Evan, and Caveman and jar of something that looked like mud.
Evan made a face. "Ew, it looks like mud!" he said.
"Yeah." Grace agreed. Caveman just went straight to the jar and took a big gulp. He closed his eyes like he was in heaven.
"Oh you guys. You don't have any idea what you're missing. Go on, drink it." Caveman said. Grace hesitated and then took a tiny sip. Her eyes widened and then she took a big gulp. Evan didn't take a drink.
"Awww, come one Evan! It's great!" she said. He took a drink and then took another and another and another.
"This rocks!" Evan said. After they were all finished drinking up their jars of Sploosh, Grace asked, "Do you have any more?"
"No, that's it." Zero answered. "What? You mean, we're going to die of thirst out here?" Evan asked.
"We have to go back." Caveman said. "I'm not digging any more holes." Zero said.
"I know, and you might not have to." Caveman said.
"What do you mean?" Grace asked.
"Hmm..well, you remember, Zero, when I found a gold lipstick tube? The one with KB on it?" Caveman asked.
"Yeah." Zero said. Evan and Grace looked at each other, wondering what in the world they were talking about. "Well, I think that's where we might find the treasure." Caveman said.
"What treasure?" asked Evan and Grace at the same time.
"Well, the tube belongs to Kate Barlow. And she is the one who buried the treasure so know one could find it." He said.
"But how did she get all the treasure?" Grace asked.
"She stole it from all the people that she killed." Caveman said.
"Ooo." Said Evan.
"Well, than what are we waiting for? Let's go get rich!" Grace said.
"Wait...we're going to have to be sneaky. We have to get shovels first, and it's going to have to be in the night." Caveman said. "Right." Grace said. "Alright, let's go." Evan said. Everyone made their way out of the boat and walked, once again, across the dried up lake.
Magnet! Magnet! Get up sleepy head!" Courtni whispered in Magnet's ear. He stirred.
"What time is it?" he asked "I didn't hear the horn."
"It's like 2 o'clock in the morning." Court said.
"What? Why are we getting up so early?" he asked. "Because we have to figure out how to make sure that Caveman's parents don't think he's dead!" she said. "Yeah, but why do we have to get up so early to do that?" he asked. "Because! We.uh...we just do!" she said. But the truth was, Courtni didn't know either.
6:30 A.M. "So..what are we going to do?" Mr. Pendanski asked The Warden.
"You'll do as I say." She said, putting on her hat and walking out of Mr. Sir's cabin.
"What did she say? Well what'll we do?" Mr. Pendanski asked Mr. Sir.
"You'll do as I say." Mr. Sir said, putting his hat on and walking out. Mr. Pendanski just starred forward.
"But you didn't say anything either!" he exclaimed, walking out.
Once he was outside, X-Ray called him. "Hey, Mom!" X-Ray waved to Mr. Pendanski to come over. Mr. Pendanski walked over to where X-Ray was standing with Armpit and Zig- Zag.
"I know what your whole plan is about.." he leaned in so only "Mom" could hear, "..about Caveman with his family." He said. Then Court and Magnet stepped out from behind them and Court said, "Since we know that, we're not going to let you tell them." She said. "Yeah, and if you tell The Warden or Mr. Sir about what we just said.." Magnet put his shovel in front of him.. "you're a goner." He said. Zig-Zag, for the first time that Courtni had ever heard him, laughed.
"So, what's the Sploosh that you were talking about Zero?" she asked him.
