Chapter Thirteen: Curiouser and Curiouser

Bob and Lawson were just walking around the perimeter of the camp looking for Vince when suddenly somebody ran straight into them, and let out a scream, which nearly scared the bejeepers out of Lawson.

Bob grabbed the little boy's shoulders and saw that he was crying. He immediately felt sorry for him, and decided to ask what was wrong.

"Hey, little dude, what's the matter?"

"We have to get out of here!" the boy whimpered. "Something terrible is happening?"

"What on earth does THAT mean?" Lawson asked, not really caring.

Bob ignored him. "What do you mean something terrible is–hey, your name isn't Tim is it?"

When the boy shook his head "yes", Bob instantly knew that this was the boy that Vince had been talking about. The one the counselors had said went home. Then why was he still here?

"Whoa, so you're saying LaSalle wasn't really seeing things after all?" Lawson asked.

"Listen, Tim," Bob said gently. "We're trying to find someone, do you know–"

"THEY have everyone," Tim interrupted. "THEY have them trapped. We have to warn everyone to get out of here before they get them too!"

With that, Tim jerked away from Bob and ran off through the woods. Bob didn't know what to do, and didn't have time to follow him, because suddenly a couple of counselors began approaching. Thinking fast, he pulled himself and Lawson down behind a bush to eavesdrop.

It was Larry, of course, accompanied by a line of other counselors behind him. They appeared to be heading somewhere...
"Wonder where they're going?" Bob asked in a whisper.

"I don't know," Lawson answered. "Probably going off to their secret stash of beer or something."

"Gah, that was stupid," Bob said rolling his eyes.

"No, COMING OUT HERE was stupid."

"It was YOUR idea!" Bob argued, trying not to make much noise.

"Come on, most of my ideas are stupid!" Lawson admitted. "Why anyone ever listens to me is beyond my understanding."

"Whatever," the older boy sighed. "I don't think we're gonna find Vince out here. Might as well head back."

TEN MINUTES LATER

When they returned to their cabin, they noticed that Vince had not yet returned. Although he didn't get along with him, Lawson was actually starting to worry a little about him. Bob was beginning to get a little creeped out. What if other kids started disappearing?

He opened the dresser drawer without thinking, and nearly fell over at what he saw. Nothing. There wasn't any clothes or anything in it.

"Oh my gah," he gasped. "Hey, Vince's drawer is empty."

"Say what? What are you doing in his drawer anyway?" Lawson wanted to know, going beside him to look.

"Can't a guy make a mistake? The point is that all his stuff is gone. Doesn't that strike you as odd?"

"Yeah...maybe we oughta ask a counselor or something tomorrow about where he is."

"Well, I'm not invading on their stag party," Bob joked lightly. "We'll do it first thing in the morning."



Okay, is things getting weirder or what? Don't worry, things will start making sense as the story furthers along. Then we can all find out what happened to Vince and perhaps some other kids!
