Chapter Fifteen: The Secret Cult
Bob made his way down the stairs and hid behind a partition near the door and watched as the counselors all sat down in chairs that were aligned for them. Bob had no idea what was going on, but he was going to find out!
He saw Larry get up and stand in front of the congregation. Obviously, he was the head of this meeting. Bob held his breath to listen to him.
"Counselors, I am proud to report that we have succeeded in getting our first shipment of Winners last night!"
The counselors cheered and clapped until Larry held his hands up to silence them.
"As you recall, we still have some other kids from the other ten camps we have running country-wide, and they are all here as well, seeing that this is the headquarters. We begin shipping the "winners" off starting tomorrow, and every other night afterwards. The country of Zimbabwe is offering thirty American dollars a head, and since they are in dire need of "slaves", we have accepted."
More cheering and clapping came from the crowd. Bob's jaw dropped. He couldn't believe this was happening. Vince, Lance, and Tim were being SOLD? As SLAVES? To some country in AFRICA? What kind of people were these guys?
"And now," Larry continued after the noise died down. "We shall begin our ritual. The ritual that ensures that we have no feelings whatsoever, feelings that may interfere in this operation."
He pulled out a gold medallion on a golden chain and began to swing it as if to hypnotize everyone. Bob made sure not to stare at it, but instead stared at the group of counselors as they chanted: "Do not think, do not feel, only steal. Steal the freedom of those we know."
Bob broke out in a cold sweat. They WERE hypnotizing themselves! They were getting rid of all feelings! That must have been why Larry didn't cry out in pain whenever Lawson rammed a baseball bat into his ribcage the other day! Bob was beginning to think he was in some kind of horror movie or something. This was way weird.
They finally stopped chanting and Larry continued.
"The Leader will come at precisely midnight in order to check our progress. He will then reveal his TRUE meaning for all of this. Do not miss it."
Bob looked at his wrist watch. They had only forty five minutes until "The Leader" arrived. Deciding to get out before he got caught, he slipped out and ran back towards the cabin.
"If I'm going to stop these guys," Bob thought. "I'm gonna need back up."
Back at the cabin, Lawson was still snoozing away, quite peacefully. But Bob didn't care. He busted in, flicked on the lights, and shook him awake.
"Lawson! Lawson, wake up! I found out what happened to Vince!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Lawson yelled, upon being rudely awakened. He opened his eyes a little too fast, was blinded, and stupidly fell out of the bed and onto the rough hard wood floor.
"Come on, we gotta go!" Bob said eagerly as Lawson rubbed his eyes awake.
"Gimme a sec, I'm blind down here! Now what on earth are you screaming about?"
Bob sighed impatiently. "It's Vince, and the other winners. They are being held hostage by the counselors and they are getting shipped out to Zimbabwe as SLAVES!"
Lawson looked at him with a blank face. "Sold? As slaves? Bob. You've lost it. Way too many horror movies at your house."
"I'm serious!" Bob insisted, grabbing his arm and practically dragging him out the door. "We haven't got much time, we have to save them!"
Okay, raise your hand if you thought that was weird! raises hand, then counts the other raised hands out there Okay, that WAS a little strange, but like I said at the beginning, I based this off one of R.L. Stine's Goosebumps books, so you KNOW it had to be a little kooky! Who is the counselors "Leader"? Will Bob and Lawson be able to Vince and the other kids? Or will they all be shipped out to Zimbabwe?
