Ch 12
Tolkien
Okay, the rest of this chapter.
Me, Magnet, Tink, Zig and Armpit were going to the wreck room after dinner.
During the course of the meal, I had sat in silence, and the new born idea developed into a master plan. I was walking back to D-tent when I heard shouts of "YES!! FINALLY!!" I turned around and saw it was Magnet. I walked over as he cheered, and he caught my eye. Then, his happy grin faded when he saw me.
"What's up?" I asked. "Something serious must have happened to taint that victory dance." "I'm leaving," He said. "I'm leaving GreenLake." "Uhh, CONGRATULATIONS, MAN!!" I said, happy for him, and I hugged him. "Finally, someone's getting out of this hell hole. Congratulations." "Yeah," he said. I caught on. "Hey, don't forget us little people okay?" I said, pulling away from the hug. " I won't," he promised. "Uh.let's talk about something happi- different" I interjected. After all, he got to leave Greenlake. That was happy. "Now, if I recall correctly, your birthday's in what- five days?" "And." " I have an idea." "Which would be.." "how much would you like Greenlake to be shut down, forever, never to be opened again?" I asked. "I"d like that a lot." "I have an idea. Your fingers still work like magnets?" "Hell yeah." " Good. Let's get the others."
We both ran about to our fellow D-tent residents, herding them into the D- tent. "What's this all about?" X-ray asked. "I'd like to know, sure as heck I"d like to know," Squid said in a paranoid way. "Have you guys ever been on a raid?" I asked. "I don't like the sound of this," ZigZag said. "You will, lemme explain," I told him. "I have this plan to get Greenlake shut down forever." "Please, tell" Magnet said. "Well, " I began, "Magnet's birthday is in five days, and he's leaving in-" "Ten," "Ten," I continued. " If we pulled a little stunt and they all believed us dead or missing, they'd be shut down forever when, after all, Greenlake would be missing, what eight or so people?" "I'm liking this," X-ray said. Tink nodded. "Continue, please," Leena said. "I will. Indeed, I will. Anyhow, this is the plan. I've already drawn it out." I pulled out a notebook. In it, was a rough map of the camp's vicinity, and the land surrounding it. "Okay," I said, ''this is where we start. Two night's before Magnet's birthday, midnight, we go into the kitchens and get the supplies we need. I've made a list, and divided up assignments for all a y'all. Then, we head out to that mountain up South. By the looks of it, it probably supports life and we'll be able to camp there. If the state is coming for Magnet on the 11th, by then we'll be gone and the Warden and Sir and Pen-dance-key will be in so much shit, there's no way they'll get out on bail. Considering most of us are nearly done with our sentences here, the state could give us community service at the most for about six months..I studied some law books and my uncle used to wrok for the state." I said, seeing everyone's weird look. "Okay, okay. I dig nature too.and.we can take that box Zig found and open it up. Who knows what' s in there? What do y'all say?" nobody said anything for a while. "Alright, le's do it," Magnet said, standing up. "If anyone's getting out of Greenlake, it's you and me together, girl." He slapped me a high five.
