Chapter Eighteen: We Found Them!

The creepy bald guy was still hopping on one leg trying to chase Lawson down, but of course it was pretty impossible. Running as hard as he could, Lawson finally managed to find Bob, who was still peeking through doors.

"Hey, yo, I found 'em!" he told him when he reached him.

"Great!" Bob exclaimed. "Where are they at?"

"Will you chill? There's some goon back there guarding the place."

Bob's hopes went down. "Oh. Well, I guess we're just going to have to get him out of the way somehow."

Just then, they heard a huge figure hopping down the hall, and it sounded angry. Uh-oh, creep alert!

"All right, he already knows I'm here, so I'll try losing him, while you go in there and get the kids out," Lawson proposed.

"Fine with me, where's the kids at?"

"Third door on the right. Here he comes, duck down!"

Bob ducked behind a trash can, while Lawson made a run for it. The bald guy finally got over his painful dilemma and raced after him. Once they were out of sight, Bob headed in the direction Lawson told him to go. He reached the door and found that there WERE kids inside.

Looking around to see if anyone was watching, he quietly opened the door and stepped in. What he saw made him nearly fall out on the ground in shock. There was kids EVERYWHERE! The whole room was packed full of what Bob assumed where previous Winner's Walk participants. But he was only interested in finding Vince and Lance.

He heard someone calling his name in the middle of the mass. Bob squinted and saw Vince and Lance waving at him. Smiling, Bob pushed himself through the crowd and finally met up with them.

"Oh, man," Vince said once he reached them. "I thought I was never gonna see a familiar face again!"
"Guys, we really need to get out of here," Bob insisted. "Do you guys know what's going on at all?"

Vince and Lance exchanged glances. "No," they said at the same time.

"Okay, these counselors kidnapped every one who was in the Winner's Walk from the other Camp All-Star's out there," Bob explained. "And they are going to ship you out to Zimbabwe to be SLAVES!"

"What?!" the boys cried. "We can't be slaves! That's illegal!"

"I know, I know, so me and Lawson are trying to–

"Whoa, Lawson?" Vince asked, wrinkling his nose. "He's here too?"

"Well, yeah," Bob answered. "He's busy getting rid of the guard while I try and get ya'll out of here."

Meanwhile, Lawson was STILL running from the guard, who was starting to lose breath and slow down.

"What's the matter, Baldy?" Lawson called to him. "Can't handle a little running?"

"AAAAAHHH!" the guard yelled, and charged full blast at him. Unfortunately he didn't realize that there was a huge trash can behind Lawson, who moved out of the way in the nick of time, and the guard went flying head first into garbage. He was stuck in the barrel, so Lawson kicked it over on its side and sent the guy rolling down a different hallway.

"Adults, the ultimate losers," he muttered.

"I can't believe they are going to sell us!" Lance said in shock. "Isn't there a law against this or something?"

"Listen, we need to calm down, talk to the other kids and figure out what exactly we are going to do!" Bob tried to tell them, but everything was so hectic that there wasn't much space to think with.

Suddenly, the door opened with a loud BANG! All the kids stared at the figure in the doorway. It was a tall man in a spiffy suit...carrying a cane.

Oooh, I know you guys hate me for the cliffhanger! NOW what? Who's the "Leader"? Will the kids escape? Or will they become slaves forever? Gotta keep reading to find out and PLZ review!
