Chapter Two
"Hey at least we're not diggin' anymore holes, right?"
"Yeah but I don't think this is any better, Zig Zag."
"Well, at least we don't have any yellow-spotted lizards," Zig Zag replied to X-Ray trying to sound optimistic.
The D-Tent boys and the rest of the residents of Camp GreenLake had been moved to a correctional facility outside of Houston. The rest of their sentence was being carried out there, breaking rocks. Which I remind you, is not a fun way to spend your summer vacation.
"Guys, there's a car pullin' up, Ooo... it's a '69 Shelby GT 500,nice car," Twitch said as his hands were going crazy at his side.
"Magnet, Squid! Get over here and help me hold him down. Easy Twitch, it's just a car," Armpit stated trying his best to calm the overly excited Twitch down.
Zig Zag and X-Ray posed themselves against their sledgehammers, in a kind of 'bad-boy' position. They waited to see who stepped out of the dark blue muscle car.
Their gaze was interrupted by Twitch, who managed to escape Magnet and Squid's grasp and was running straight for the car with trembling arms. He ran at top speed but then immediately stopped and slid his hands up and down the car's front quarter panel savoring every moment with it.
At that time a woman stepped out onto the dusty ground she had a briefcase in hand and at once took off her sunglasses to inspect the car whom Twitch was still staring at in awe. She turned to him and said, "Young man, can you get your hands off my car! And do you know where I may find the....let me see here....oh yes, the D-Tent boys?"
Twitch snapped out of his daydream and looked distinctly into the woman's familiar face and said, "Oh now I remember you, you were Caveman's lawyer, the one with the Jaguar, nice car. Sure I can tell ya where to find the D- Tent boys, I'm one of 'em and the rest are over here," he said leading her to where they all stood. "I sure you remember Zig Zag, X-Ray, Magnet, Armpit, Squid, and me, Twitch."
"Yes, Yes, now down to business. I came here to tell y'all that you are to come with me. You're, well on a sort of probation. Now gather up your things and follow me."
"Wait, on what sort of probation?" Zig Zag asked.
"Ziggy, shut up and follow her, or we won't get to ride in that," Twitch replied pointing to the car as if it was some sort of heavenly being.
"Look Twitch, I don't know if we can trust her, I mean what if it's all a hoax or somethin' it seems too good to be true."
"Well, I think all that 'acute paranoia' is goin' to your head, Zig, I mean if this is our only chance outa here why not take it," Magnet said standing up for the rest of the boys.
"Look you guys, just to save me time I'll explain, Stanley, you're 'Caveman' has paid your way to come out for the rest of your sentence. He said he needed you for something and he paid the bail for all of the D-Tent boys to come out. I hope you boys understand that this is sort of a trial run, one mistake and you're back here breakin' rocks. Now let's get going, I have no time for this. Y'all are to be dropped off at the Yelnats' estate a soon as possible."
"So, that means we're gonna ride in that, right?" Twitch asked hopefully.
"Nope, replied the lawyer, you're riding in that," she pointed over to a rusted old bus.
Twitch gave a slight groan but reluctantly went to his bunk and got his belongings with the rest of the boys. With raised spirits they loaded up into the bus and awaited their reunion with two of their missing D-Tent boys.
