Chapter Eight
"Oh Sam, why? Why did you have to go so young? I miss you. And I love you." Kissin' Kate Barlow cried to the wind. "You left me, and now look where I am, a no good murderer. Sam I've killed people, I killed them, for you."
Kate let down her hair and let the wind take it, and for a moment, just a moment, she thought she caught a glimpse of Sam. "Sam! Sam!" She cried, "Come back, oh don't leave! Come back!" But it was too late, Sam was gone and Kate was forever haunted by the image of Sam turning his face from her.

"Hey Stanley you asleep?" Zero said from under his sleeping bag.
"Nope, you?"
"Nope. Hey I got somethin' to tell ya."
"What?"
"Look over there on the lake, tell me what you see. If it's what I think it is than I know I'm not dreaming."
Stanley stood up from his warm sleeping bag and walked to the bank of the lake. Standing there he looked straight across, and couldn't believe what he saw. He drew in a deep breath and said, "Holy Yellow-Spotted-Lizards! There's someone in a boat!"
"I knew it!" Zero added enthusiastically
The image was that of a man in a rowboat if you looked closely you could make out a hat upon his head, and in the boat was a pile of what looked like vegetables. The moon shown down on it so you could see the image a bit clearly.
"Oh my gosh! Zero wake D-Tent up, quick!"
"Sure thing, Caveman."
Stanley still stood there watching the man row his boat as one by one the boys started to awake. Stanley was lost in his thoughts, as he wondered why this man could be on the lake at this time of night and who this man was. He was suddenly startled by the murmur of D-Tent's voices.
"What the heck! Why did you wake me up, I was having a nice dream.......there I was on a beach with two girls at my....." Zigzag's voice was interrupted by Caveman.
"Shut up and look!" He said pointing to the lake.
"I don't see anythin'."
"Me neither"
"Uh Caveman, you okay? Did you eat too many onions or somethin' 'cause I don't see what the fuss is all about." Said Squid
Caveman rubbed his eyes and said, "Yeah, I'm uh.........fine."
"But I saw it too," Zero added, "I was the one who woke him up, I was the one who saw it. Caveman's perfectly fine."
"Well what'd you Neanderthals see?" X-Ray said shoving himself into the circle of boys
"X, what's your problem?" Zig asked getting closer to him
"I ain't got a problem!"
"Yeah, well what's with you callin' everyone names," Magnet asked stepping between Ziggy and X.
"You know what?! Why don't y'all mind your own business. Well, Caveman, since you're so 'high and mighty' now , why don't you tell me what you see out there."
"Sure X, just look."
"I don't see nuttin'"
"It was just there a minute ago......I don't get it."
"Well what'd you see that was there a minute ago and isn't now." X-ray asked impatiently.
"I-we saw a man, rowing a boat filled with stuff, now he's gone."
"Right.......and I'm the Queen Of England in disguise, really what did you see."
"I told you, X"
"You're nuts! Who the heck would be crazy enough to row his boat in the middle of the night on this lake which is in the middle of nowhere?!"
"Look X, I told you what I saw, ask Zero he saw it too, isn't that right?"
Zero nodded.
"Whatever," X-ray muttered "I'm goin' back to sleep and when I get up tomorrow I expect you all to be normal again."
"Um..........X?"
"What Squid?"
"You know when you just said that when you get up tomorrow you want us all to be normal again."
"Yes, I know what I said."
"Well you made a mistake, today is tomorrow, I mean it's like 3:30 A.M. which makes it tomorrow."
"Okay 'Mr. I-Think-I-Know-Everything' got to bed and be normal tomorrow!"
"Yes, sir," Squid said sarcastically while saluting X-ray.

The boys got back into their sleeping bags when Twitch woke up and said, "Caveman?"
"What?"
"I saw it too."
"You what?"
"I saw the man in the boat, though I didn't want to tell anyone 'cause I felt stupid if I said I saw something and it wasn't there."
"Hey that sounds familiar. Well why didn't you tell me before everyone woke up?"
"I dunno." He shrugged then started to twitch.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
"Oh I'm gettin' that feeling again. It's no big deal."
"Alright whatever you say. I'm goin' to bed, G'night."
"Night."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~
"If only If only the woodpecker sighs...la la la la la la la la......"
"Hey Stanley, I didn't know you were awake."
"Yeah, Zero, well after last night-er this morning I couldn't really fall back to sleep."
"Hey ,where's Mr. Yelnats?"
"What do ya mean, Zero?"
"He's not in the RV, and he's not by the lake, I thought you might know where he is."
"Oh great! I lost grandpa! Help me wake the rest of D-tent up, okay?"
"Sure thing, Stanley."
"Get Up!!!!" Zero yelled
"What? What's wrong, Zero?"
"Mr. Yelnats isn't here, help me wake everyone up so we can find them, okay Pit?"
"Okay."
"Whaddya mean Mr. Yelnats isn't here." Zig asked
"Um.......just what I said, he's not here. We can't find him."
"Oh great, we lost grandpa!" Stanley cried throwing up his arms
"It's alright, Caveman, we'll find 'im." Magnet said trying to comfort him.
"I knew something was wrong," Twitch said as his hands started drumming on the RV. "I told you, Caveman."
"You're right, Twitch. I'm sorry no one listened to ya."
"No problem, Caveman it wasn't your fault."
"Okay D-Tent, everyone is going to split up and we're gonna search the tents, cabins, holes or what's left of the holes anyway. I want y'all to pair up, Zig and Magnet, Pit and X, and Twitch and Squid, and Zero, and I. We'll meet back here in one-hour."
"What if we don't find 'im?" Squid asked rubbing his head.
"Shut up, Squid. You always have bad timing." Pit said elbowing him in the side.
"Well I dunno what we're gonna do, just search and search good, please. We need grandpa back."
And with that D-Tent looked and searched, but little did they know where Mr. Yelnats was.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~
"What do ya want from me, ma'am?"
"Just shut yer hole, gramps and don't ask questions!"
"Okay, but you'll regret messing with Stanley Yelnats and I speak for all four of us!"
"Shut yer trap," she said pointing the gun to his forehead.
"If only if only the woodpecker sighs......" Stanley Yelnats II quietly sang to himself hoping Stanley and his friends would come soon.
A/N: Okay, well how do ya like it? I love this cliffhanger thing! MUHAHAHAHAHA! :Ahem: Now go and review! (
