Chapter 16- You Don't Have To Dig For Now
"Ya know," Tru said as she and Zigzag were walking over to the tortillas
and honey.
"I like sweet things like you.. chocolate.. and honey, but on tortillas, blah, just plain nasty." She said, picking one up and throwing it to the ground without even taking a bite out of it. "Well thanks for thinking of me as sweet," Zigzag replied, finishing off 'breakfast' and getting ready to dig.
"Hey, have you guys seen Hanna?" Zero asked them, looking around at the same time.
"No not at all, but she has to be around here some where," Zigzag reassured him.
"Come on everyone! Move it! It's time to dig!" Mr. Sir barked over at them.
Soon enough, all the campers were walking out onto the lake for another day of digging.
Well except for one.
"D-tent why is there only 13 people in your tent when there should be 15?" Mr. P asked as he came around with the water truck early that morning. (A/N I think I got the numbers right but I'm to lazy to check)
Most of the guys just furrowed a brow and started to look around and counted heads.
"Who are we missing?" X-ray asked, recounting again for the third time. Soon they started to hear a banging noise come from the truck.
"Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.."
"Zero, stop banging your head on the truck," Karli yelled from the group. "We're- missing - Sweedie - or - Hanna - what -ever - you - want - to - call - her - I - knew - I - should - have - gone - after - her -last - night - have - to - try - and - save -her.." Zero kept banging his head on the truck and all of D-tent was trying to stop him.
"Zero, you know, she could've run away." Jessica said pulling him away.
"Ok guys what's going on?" Mr. P asked.
"Do you really want to know?" They all asked in unison.
"Yes.." Mr. P said.
"Well, do you want the long story or the short story?" Zigzag asked.
"Just tell me what's going on!" He demanded through gritted teeth.
"Ok, don't get your tighty whities in a bunch." Sam said, who was about to tell the story.
"Ok Hanna has a psycho uncle aaaaaand he tried to kill her before. Ok ya got that in your over-sized head?" She asked lightly hitting the top of Mr. P's head.
"Yes? Ok good and so Hanna suddenly burst out yelling at us well, more like Jessica, but that doesn't matter and she stormed out of the tent and now today she's missing. And Squid left. Ya gotta remember that, so you got the numbers wrong." Sam finished crossing her arm and walking back to D-tent with a satisfied look on her face.
"Go back to the tent no more digging for the rest of the week, or at least a while. Can't risk anything any more." He said calmly walking back to the truck.
D-tent just stared at Mr. P he started the engine and slowly drove away until he got far enough to speed it up a few hundred miles, almost crashing into a hole on his way to see C-tent.
"Ha! Can't wait until I see the look on the Wardens face!" Tru suddenly said, skipping ahead of everybody, then stopping and looking at the dirt road to see the infamous bus come rolling down.
"Hanna's spot couldn't have filled up that fast she's only been gone what 6 hours and Mom is only on B-tent, so it has to be someone else." X-ray said stating the obvious.
"They're not taking Hanna's spot, they're taking Squids." Karli whispered. "Ya know what would be fun?" Tru asked, bouncing around, starting to get hyper.
"What would be fun to do at Camp Green Lake?" X-ray asked, lying down on his cot.
"It's not at Camp Green Lake, you'd have to have a balcony. Well anyways." At this point she was on her cot bouncing up and down. "I think it'd be fun to throw a couch over the balcony into a pool then sit on it on the couch, which would be in the pool and ya, OH!!! I know what would be better, is to like eat 50 pixie sticks. Oh my god, that'd be so much fun, I have to think of more things."
"Don't worry, she gets like that. It's sorta like her being hyper but not quite." Amanda said to reassure the guys that Tru didn't go crazy.
"I'll be right back." Tru said, bouncing out of the tent.
"Ow! Why, hhheeello Mr. Sir, nice hat." Tru said, running into him.
"Watch your mouth missy. Why are you done digging so early?" He asked suspiciously.
"Oh, well, um, ya see, Hanna's missing cause of her crazy uncle and Mom told us to not dig for the rest of the week or for a while. You can trust me on that one. Go ask him if you want." Tru smiled.
Mr. Sir stared at her for a while until he yelled out 'Pendanski' and headed out towards the lake. "Oooooooooook." Tru said raising her eyebrows. "Ow!!! God damn it, how many people am I gonna bump in to? Sorry bout that you must be.." Tru just trailed off staring at the person who was standing in front of her. "You..how.."
"I'm back."
"I like sweet things like you.. chocolate.. and honey, but on tortillas, blah, just plain nasty." She said, picking one up and throwing it to the ground without even taking a bite out of it. "Well thanks for thinking of me as sweet," Zigzag replied, finishing off 'breakfast' and getting ready to dig.
