Part 12: Answers
"I KNEW you knew about this hideout all along!" shouted the Warden. Becky quickly got up.
"What are you talking about? There is not hideout! NONE! ZIPO! NATA!"
The Warden glared at her. "Yes there is! And you know it! What, did SAM tell you there was none?"
"As a matter of fact, he did." Becky said proudly.
"What?" all the boys were staring at her, and so was Hilary, with a "Whatever," kind of look.
"Oh don't stare at me that way. I AM related to Kate Barlow. I have visions all the time! I had one of Sam getting shot once." she practically yelled. There was a small silence, then Magnet stepped up to her.
"When?" he asked, taking her hand. He looked into her pain face, which was holding back tears.
"A while ago." she said, sniffing.
'Enough of this nonsense! She's lying!" said the Warden, pushing Magnet away.
"Hey! Don't call Becky a liar!" he said, pushing her back.
"Don't you dare push me!" said the Warden.
"Oh yeah?" said Squid, and he pushed her to the ground. He looked up at Hilary, who was glaring at him.
"What?" he said, shrugging.
"I really liked you," she said, still glaring.
"Yeah right. For my LOOKS, was it?" he said, then he smirked angrily at her and turned away.
The Warden got up from the ground. "I've had enough of this. Where's that stupid shovel?"
"You're not going to get the that so called 'hideout' quick enough with a shovel. My grandpa's on his way here. He'll be here in a few hours." said Becky stepping in her way of the shovels.
"Move it! I've been waiting to see that hideout for a LONG time, believe me!" she said angrily.
"NO! You can't dig this mountain up! It's God's Thumb!" said Becky.
"I don't care! What I want is the gold."
"THERE IS NO GOLD! JUST ONIONS!"
"The gold's probably hidden in the onions! You probably hide them there while you were up here all this time!"
Squid shook his head at X-ray and ZigZag. "She is so pathetic." he said.
"You're telling me! This is weirder than last time!" said Armpit.
Becky rolled her eyes. "The only thing Kate ever buried here was Sam and Mary Lou's bodies!" Becky shouted, then she made a face. "Whoa. That was weird."
"How did you know that?" asked the Warden.
"Da*nit! She knows everything about her relative. Jeez will you just accept that?" Squid suddenly exploded, grabbing the shovel from behind Becky. The Warden put her hands on her hips, about to say something.
"Hold it! Look, I was freaked out about it too, but I can really see and hear Kate and Sam. Last time I saw them they said something about someone's life lesson. Then they disapeared-"
"Yeah right." said the Warden.
"No! Really! Kate also said something about the only thing on this mountain is onions. Then they told me the history about this mountain."
"And what is that?" asked the Warden.
"Well, everyone who heard Caveman's story about his no-good-dirty-rotten- pig-stealing-great-great grandfather knows part of it." said Becky, ignoring Hilary's she rolled her eyes. "Then there's when Stanley's grandfather climbed up this mountain and survived when Kate Barlow left him here after taking his fortune. THEN there's that time Stanley took Hector up the mountain-"
"Seems like Stanley's family is all that's seen this mountain." scoffed the Warden.
"Well, this is Sam's onion farm too!" Becky said angrily.
"So? He's dead!" said the Warden. "You know, I'm sick of this. Squid, dear, you sweet little boy, can I have my shovel back please?"
Squid laughed. "Don't say that. That's pathetic. Besides, how do you think you'll get to the whatever you're looking for with this shovel?"
"I'm not. I just need it to dig up a hole to up in the explosives." answered the Warden with no fear in her voice.
"WHAT!?!" said Becky, getting ready to lounge on the Warden, but the boys held her back. "You can't blow it up! You just CAN'T!"
"Oh yeah, just watch me."
Suddenly they were surrounded by very large men, which jumped down from behind them. They all had ropes and were tying them up. They all tried punching them and kicking them, but nothing seemed to hurt them. Squid even whacked them with the shovel. Then they found themselves all tied together in the back of the truck.
"This is really uncomfortable." said Twitch from under Armpit.
"It's humiliating!" said Becky tugging at the ropes. The Warden grinned.
"Have fun! By the way, I'll be having that." She grabbed the shovel, then she turned to walk away. Hilary stood in front of them laughing.
"Bye bye Magnet!" she said in her usual voice, then she kissed him, while Becky was staring at them, wide-eyed and opened mouth. She smirked at her, then left with the Warden.
Magnet avoided Becky's gaze.
"Who was THAT? And why is she dressed like me?" she asked.
"Er...... well..... after you ran away....er...... the Warden got someone to replace you." answered Twitch.
"She replaced me with HER?"
"Yep. But it was rather like a bonus." said ZigZag, then someone kicked him. "HEY! Ow! Who did that?"
"What was me you idiot. And WHY was she kissing you, Magnet?" she said, turning to Magnet who hadn't said a word.
"Magnet didn't like it at all trust me he didn't do anything to her and he kicked her out when she slept with him-" started Armpit.
"YOU SLEPT WITH HER!?!" "Honestly it wasn't my fault! It was all her! I didn't do anything!" said Magnet.
"So you just let her kiss you?"
"No she was kissing me a lot more than with him." said Squid.
"She was kissing you too? Good grief!" moaned Becky.
"What?" said Squid. "It was part of our plan." said Squid.
"What plan?"
They told her about her plan.
"I must admit, that was a good plan." she said sourly, then no one said another word.

After at least an hour of silence, Becky began to sing.
"Oh, nobody knows the trouble I've seen....."
"Man, what the heck are you doing?" said X-ray.
"Don't call me a man! I'm just singing a song I've heard in my favorite movie." she said still tugging at the robes. Then she sighed angrily. "This is no use. The Warden's probably half way done by now."
"What about your grandfather?" said Squid.
"By the time he's here all will be lost." she said miserably.
"I didn't know you gave up so easily." said Magnet, shaking his head. Becky glanced at him.
"Just look at us! What can we do?" she said, lifting up her feet, the ropes were so tight they only lifted an inch.
"Does anyone have sharp teeth?" said Magnet, looking at the rest of them.
"Not anymore." said X-ray.
"Just try biting through the rope."
"No way!"
"Come on X! Magnet might have something here." said Becky.
"NOW you're hope are up!" said Magnet angrily.
"Just shut UP!" said Armpit. "Jeez all you've been doing is fighting. Now why don't you something like, um, what was it called, oh yeah. TEAMWORK?"
That shut them up. "I'm sorry. You're right." said Becky. Magnet agreed.
"Alright, now lets give this plan Magnet has a chance." said Armpit.

"Um, but blowing up the mountain, won't that blow up all the treasure too?" said Hilary.
"Nonsense!" said the Warden. Hilary gave the Warden a look from behind her, then just shrugged. "Whatever you say."
They were still digging, and the dynamite was being lowered from the helicopter.
"I heard that Becky person telling her grandfather to come here in less than three hours. Will we be done by then?"
"Of course we will!" said the Warden, digging deeper and deeper now. "Then right when he arrives we'll blow them ALL up!" she started laughing, and Hilary gave her another crazy look, then took a few steps away from her.

X-ray spit out some rope. "I feel like I'm eating rope." he said.
"You ARE~ Now go faster!" said Becky.
"Why don't YOU do it?" said X-ray savagely.
"Oh, I'm sorry! I just want to get out of here!" she said.
"Well, maybe I shouldn't be the only one biting through this!"
The others groaned.
"Well, does anyone have a knife?" suggested Becky.
"I think I do." said Armpit. They all stared at him.
"What?"
"Why didn't you just take it out before?" said ZigZag.
"No one asked me!"
They all rolled their eyes. "Just get it out."
"Great," Becky muttered. "We've been here for almost two hours and we had a knife all a long."
"I KNEW you knew about this hideout all along!" shouted the Warden. Becky quickly got up.
"What are you talking about? There is not hideout! NONE! ZIPO! NATA!"
The Warden glared at her. "Yes there is! And you know it! What, did SAM tell you there was none?"
