Part 3: An Unknown Warning
Becky was silent as they took her to the Warden's cabin. She was scared stiff. She had seen how mean she was before. And she knew she had a gun.
Why would the Warden want her? Was it because of the money, which he HADN'T taken? She didn't know, but a sickly feeling came into her stomach as she neared the cabin.
"Get in there." they said, throwing her in. She stumbled and fell, getting bruises and scrapes on her knees and arms.
"Ouch!" she complained, then he looked up, seeing the Warden staring down at her.
*
"We got to help her, man." said Magnet.
"Why? If we do, the Warden will shoot us." said ZigZag.
"Besides, I don't think it's anything THAT bad." said Armpit.
"But what if it is?" he kept arguing.
"Why do you even care Magnet?" asked Twitch.
"I know why," said ZigZag mysteriously. "Magnet fancies her, don't you?"
"Oohoooo!" all the boys suddenly shouted, looking at Magnet, grinning and laughing.
"What!?! No! No I don't! Why would I?" he said quickly.
"I think you do." said Armpit.
"Shut up."
"Can't ignore the truth!" said Squid.
"I DON'T like her alright!"
"Your right. You LOVE her." said Armpit.
"Will you just be quiet!?!"
*
"Hello Becky." said the Warden, in the same voice as she had used when they had first met. Becky gulped. "Hello." she said slowly.
"Sit down." she said, pulling out a chair.
Becky hesitated, then slowly went towards the seat. When she finally sat down the Warden quickly pulled out her gun. Becky gasped.
"Alright, Becky, just tell me the truth and you won't get hurt." she said.
*
The boys went out to dig, and Becky still wasn't back.
"You know Magnet, you might be right........." said X-Ray. "The Warden hasn't kept anyone in that long."
"Maybe they're just talking about that money that she "didn't" steal." said Armpit.
"Should we go check?" asked Squid.
"No! The guards or whatever they are will see us sneaking around and then take us to the Warden!" said Magnet.
"Isn't that what we WANT to do?" asked X-Ray.
Magnet stopped digging, looking lost in thought.
*
Becky shrunk into her chair. "Wha-What do you mean?"
"WAIT UNTIL I ASK THE QUESTIONS!" The Warden bellowed, pointing her gun up and shooting at the ceiling. The bang echoed.
*
"What was that?" asked Armpit.
"Uh oh." said Squid.
"What should we do now?" asked Magnet.
"Why don't we try to go sneak into the Warden's cabin?" suggested X-Ray.
"But what if we get caught?" asked Twitch.
"Who cares." said X-Ray.
"But I don't wanna get caught by the Warden!" said Armpit, shivering at the thought.
"Then we won't get caught.......... watch this........" X-Ray dropped his shovel, and walked over to one of the workers.
"Excuse me, Mr. Guard Guy, I got to.....uh..........you know......... go........" he said, acting like he had to go.
"Alright alright." said the Guard, but unluckily they had to fallow you.
"What's he doing?" said Armpit.
"Don't you see? He's distracting the guard!" said Twitch.
"Egh, I don't want no guard watching me when I have to go!" said Magnet, and they dropped their shovels quietly, and snuck away.
*
"What do you know about your family tree?" asked the Warden.
"What?" said Becky, confused.
"What do you know about your family tree?" she said impatiently.
"I don't know!"
"Don't give me that!" said the Warden, pointing the gun closer at her.
"I really don't know!" she said loudly.
The Warden put down the gun, and picked up a picture from her desk. "Come over here." she said sweetly. Becky hesitated, then got up.
She took her to in front of a mirror. "Look at yourself, then look at this picture." ordered the Warden.
Becky did what she was told, not knowing what the big deal was. Then she gasped. The woman in the picture had an incredible resemblance to Becky herself. Up at the top was printed: KISSING KATE BARLOW. She gasped again.
"I..........I.........She........" she stammered.
"Yes, yes Becky. You two are related."
"Then why were you asking me if you already knew?"
"I wanted to see if those stupid guards were right. Which they were," she sighed. "You may go now."
"Alright........" Becky said nervously, and quickly ran out of the cabin, then colliding with someone as she came out of the door.
"Ow! I'm so sorry- guys? What are you doing here?" she asked.
"What are YOU doing here? I thought she shot you." said Squid.
"She almost did."
"Well, we came to see what happened and why she kept you for so long. X- Ray's distracting the guard.......... which means we should probably get back.........." said Magnet.
*
"I thought you didn't want to help me." said Becky to Magnet. they were walking behind everyone else.
"Of course we did............"
"Then why did you just leave me when the workers took me in at breakfast?"
Magnet shrugged.
"Just forget it, anyway, I have to tell you something! But you'll have to wait until later.........." she whispered.
"Why?"
"Just trust me on this alright?"
"Fine." Magnet said glumly, and they all rushed back to their holes.
