[Thanks Megan for giving me the idea of Lorene being the Warden's sister! I'm using it!]
"Put your stuff down, kid." Lorene had brought me to an old shack about 5 miles out of town. A sheet separated an extra room and she motioned for me to put my stuff there. The old metal bed creaked when I put my suitcases on it. She walked back over to me.
"Why did you bring me here?" She crossed her arms and looked at me.
"I can't answer that, kid. My sister can though."
"Your sister?" She nodded.
"She'll be here soon. Until she does, you can unpack your stuff." She left the sheet-room and I slumped down next to my suitcase.
I heard the door slam and Lorene started talking to someone.
"Where is she?"
"She's over here. I got her as soon as I could."
"You haven't hurt her?"
"Of course not! But I ain't gonna' be a baby sitter to her!" Heavy footsteps came towards me and the sheet was thrown back.
"Hello Deyna." I stared into the face of the Warden.
"Warden! What are you doing here? You're supposed to be in jail!" She laughed.
"Jail can't hold me. I escaped." Lorene walked up behind her.
"Okay, cut the jabber. Now it's time to get her money!"
"This is about money?" I stared at the two women.
"Yes. Lou here told me that you had rich grandparents so we decided to bump them off so I could claim motherhood to you and get your dough. Then, when I found out about your father, I decided to bump him off too." The Warden turned to Lorene.
"You killed him?"
"Yeah, why? You got somethin' wrong with it?" The Warden looked very angry.
"You weren't supposed to hurt him!"
"Well how was I supposed to know!" She stormed off and the Warden turned back to me.
"I'm sorry, Deyna. I didn't know. I'm so sorry!" She ran off, crying.
Stanley's POV
Deyna had been gone for 20 hours. My heart felt so heavy so I decided to go to the house that she gave me.
The rest of D-Tent decided to go with me, except for Twitch. He didn't want to even look at my car and Deyna left hers here so Lorene wouldn't sell it.
We all decided to just walk around the house and see what it was like. Deyna's grandparents had forbid us to visit her there so we had no idea what it was like.
"Hey look guys! An attic!" Magnet opened the door to it and ran up the stairs. We all followed him up to the dusty room.
When I got there, Squid was looking at some old photos, ZigZag was absorbed in an old television, X-Ray was busy dusting his glasses, Armpit was trying to open an old wardrobe, Magnet was looking at some old videos and Zero stood next to me.
"Hey look guys! It's Deyna!" Squid held out a few pictures and I walked up to look.
"No, that's not Deyna." It wasn't, but it looked like her.
"Hey, look at what I found!" Magnet brought out a few home videos. They were labeled "Baby Deyna". I grabbed both the pictures and the video.
"Guys, I have an idea."
