I don't own Holes or "Ocean Avenue" by Yellowcard, kay?
------------
Dusk settled slowly over Camp Green Lake. Bullseye lay anxiously awake on her cot. As soon as the last shade of orange turned to a dark blue, she sat up. Grabbing her belongings she crept over to Ace's cot, tapping her awake, which was slightly difficult.
"What?" Ace asked as the stirred.
"The first signal will be up within the next hour," Bullseye instructed and silently fled the tent to set up for the first signal.
There's a place off Ocean Avenue
Where I used to sit and talk with you
Five slow knocks issued from the steps. Ace kicked Sugah's cot, waking her. "You're up next, make sure to wake Syc before you go."
Sugah nodded and sat up, getting ready.
Ace opened the flap and stepped outside with her lighter in hand.
"Hey," a tired and husky voice called from behind her. "Well aren't you a sight for sore eyes."
Ace whirled around and smiled at the man. Flicking her lighter high, three times, she ran off, the smile not departing from her face.
We were both 16 and it felt so right
Sleepin' all day
Stayin' up all night
Stayin' up all night
"Score 1, you're up hermano," Bullseye said.
There's a place on the corner of Cherry Street
We would walk on the beach in our bare feet
"Hola chica," a Hispanic smiled greeted Sugah outside.
With three flicks from her bic, they were off.
We were both 18 and it felt so right
Sleepin' all day
Stayin' up all night
Stayin' up all night
"That's two, you're up Tex," she smiled.
"Thanks, and good luck Kit," he said hugging her.
"Lucks got nothin' to do with it," she answered.
"You take care of him, ya hear?" he said kissing her forehead.
"And you take care of her!" she warned.
"Bye Kittie, I'll miss you. Again," he laughed.
"Well keep in touch this time," she accused.
"That shouldn't be a problem," he smiled and trotted off.
If I could find you now
Things would get better
Syco sighed again, waiting for the signal. 'What's so great about this plan anyway?' she thought. Rum was awake and ready to go.
Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock.
Syco sighed for the umpteenth time, "Finally."
"Hey cowgirl," a deep Texan voice called.
Syco's Angel Zippo lit three times and she was off with her cowboy.
We could leave this town
And run forever
"You ready?" one young authoritative voice asked another, holding out his arm for her.
"Why thank you," she replied in an extremely chipper voice for around 2 a.m.
Let your waves crash down on me
"Are you afraid?" a little twitching girl asked a small spazing boy.
"Yeah, are y ou?"
"Of course!" she nearly screamed.
He held out his hand to her and she took it. "I'll take care of you," he assured her as she lit her lighter high into the air.
And take me away... yeah
Zigzag lay dreaming again. He started dreaming when all this shit started. And the only thing he saw was her face. Nothing else.
But he had a feeling tonight. Maybe, if he could pretend that she was sleeping peacefully in the cot four feet from him, he might have a full night's rest.
There's a piece of you
That's here with me
It's everywhere I go
It's everything I see
Bullseye slowly entered D-Tent. Looking around she spotted the last occupied cot. Smiling to herself, she slowly walked over to a sleeping Zigzag.
When I sleep I dream
And it gets me by
Zigzag rolled over on his cot to see a smiling Bullseye. "Urgh," he groaned rubbing his eyes to rid himself of the mirage. But when he opened his eyes again, she was pulling off his covers, throwing his jumpsuit at him and packing some of his stuff.
I can make believe that you're here tonight
That you're here tonight
"Bullseye?" Zig asked groggily.
"In the flesh, now get up, we gotta go."
"Where we going?" he asked sitting up.
"Away from here," she responded.
Zigzag got out of his cot and began to put on his orange jumpsuit, looking around, he noticed all of the empty cots. "Hey," he said grabbing Bullseye's arm. "Where is everybody else?"
"Gone, I, well, came up with an escape plan, and we're the last two to leave," she explained.
"Oh," was the only response that Zigzag could muster.
"Well, get your stuff ready, I'll be waiting."
"Where?" Zig asked as he pulled the bottom of the orange jumpsuit up over his boxers and tied the sleeves together.
Bullseye smiled, "Just outside the boys' compound," she said and retreated out the back and jogged as silently as possible out of the boys' camp.
"Hey dyke, where do you think you're going?" Lump asked from behind Bullseye, seizing her arms with one of his and covering her mouth with his other hand.
If I could find you know
Things would get better
Syco laughed loudly as Squid had grabbed her around her waist and blew a raspberry on her neck.
Looking up ahead they could see Caveman and Ace star gazing while Sugah and Magnet made out. Rum, X-ray, Twitch and Spaz weren't far behind.
"Make out break!" Syco declared laughing and grabbed Squid by the collar of his jumpsuit and pulled him to her lips.
"Magnet and Sugah already beat ya to it!" Caveman laughed.
Ace snuggled closer to him on his chest, "So what do you say we mimic them, hm?"
"Are you serious?" he smiled.
"Mm-hm," she grinned as he bent his head down and kissed her gently.
"So what do we have here boys?" a familiar voice asked.
Sugah's eyes shot open and she jumped off of Magnet, "Oh shit!" she exclaimed.
We could leave this town
And run forever
"How much longer do ya think?" Spaz asked.
"Not much if, you guys caught up to us," Rum declared.
"Yeah," twitch, "I think we're," twitch, "almost," twitch, "there," Twitch twitched.
"God X, do you think you could control your friend's twitchin'? Its driving me crazy," a B-Tent familiar said.
I know somewhere, somehow
We'll be together
"Come on Bullseye, where'd you go?" Zigzag asked as he left D-Tent and Camp Green Lake behind and walked the dirt path to the girls' camp.
"I know where she is, and I'd like to know where you think yer going?!" Mr. Sir said grabbing Zigzag by the back of his neck and jabbing the gun into his back. "Let's go," he commanded, pushing him forward.
Let your waves crash down on me
And take me away... yeah
"Urgh," Bullseye said dusting herself off, who knew that Lump would be so easy to take down? Throwing her head back, she head-butted him in the nose, a swift kick to the family jewels and a forceful blow to his stomach and he was out like a light. "Owwie," Bullseye said rubbing the back of her head, "that's gunna leave a bump." Yet she was slightly surprised. Now to find Zigzag and the everyone else, she highly doubted that she was the only one that had had some trouble.
I remember the look in you eyesWhen I told you that this was goodbye
"Ah can't believe you D-Tent hoodlums thought you could escape! Who came up with this genius plan anyway?" the Warden asked as she drug Magnet and Squid back by pulling on their ears.
Dr. Pendanski held Spaz.
One B-Tent boy held Twitch, another held Sugah, one had Rum, one had Syco and two held Ace, who was fighting to get back to Caveman. A guard held X-ray and another guard held Caveman.
Ace took a second to stop struggling and smirk at Sugah, and then continued in her battle to get to Caveman.
"Bullseye," Sugah smiled.
"Who?" Lou asked.
"Bullseye, Sean "Kittie the Kat" O'Malley," Squid said.
"Oh, the crazy one," Dr. Pendanski snickered.
"Sounds like a striper's name," one of the B-Tent boys holding Ace, chuckled to the other, only causing her to lash out at him.
"She's not crazy!" Syco defended.
Ace stopped her struggling in surprise that Syco would stick up for Bullseye.
"She's like a female Zigzag, eh X?" Magnet asked.
"Yeah, but twice as playful," Squid grinned, but one glare shot from Syco and his grin faded. "I mean in the mischievous sorta way," he mumbled.
"Keep diggin'," Syco warned.
"Those two were certainly a pair," X-ray commented.
"It won't matter much anyway," MR. Sir said approaching the group with Zigzag at gun point. "Cause by the time we're done, you'll either be in jail or dead."
Ace started squirmin' again. "Oh, don't worry Caveman, I'll send you there with lots of soap on a rope, okay baby? Anf if you ever need anymore, just write, kay sweetie?" Ace told him.
"Yes ma'am," Caveman smiled blushing.
Lump stumbled over to the group with blood running out of his nose and into his hand.
"Where's the girl?" Lou asked.
"She-she-she got away," Lump said wiping his nose with the back of his hand.
Squid grinned to Zigzag who grinned wildly cheering in his head.
"Excuse me?" Lou asked again.
"She's right here," Bullseye said kicking Lump back to the ground where he slammed his face.
You were beggin' me
Not tonight
Not here
Not now
Bullseye kicked at Lou's arm, getting Magnet free, who in return got Twitch.
Twitch started running around trying to find Spaz.
Bullseye freed Syco, who helped her jump one of Ace's captures, and Ace finished the job.
Magnet got to Rum, but couldn't reach X-ray.
Bullseye turned to get Squid when Lou clawed at her face. Jumping back, she sent a sympathetic look to Squid and regrouped.
"Hold it!" Mr. Sir said cocking his revolver before Bullseye went in for a second strike.
The rest of Camp Green Lake's defense were picking themselves up off the ground.
"One more step an I'll fire Missy!" Mr. Sir warned now pointing the locked and loaded gun at Zig's head.
Bullseye took a sharp inhale and backed up.
"That's more like it."
"You won't get all of us, or any of us for that matter," Bullseye declared.
"Well maybe we'll keep a few so that we will when you all come back to rescue 'em," Mr. Sir said.
Bullseye glared, but turned and took off with the rest of the escapees.
We're looking up at the same night sky
We keep pretending
The sun will not rise
"What the hell are we supposed to do?!" Magnet asked furiously.
"That was some ingenious plan Sean," Ace said.
"What do you expect Steph. It would've worked fine if you guys hadn't of stopped for a make-out break!" Bullseye accused. "That's why I put you up front. Cause I know you're no bullshit and you wouldn't of stopped."
"That's not gunna help me get Squid back," Syco observed to herself quietly. "Alright then we can vote," Syco said speaking up. "Remember, if we go back, we could run the risk of getting caught. Others or yourselves could be shot and die. If we opt to leave, the others could stay here, finish out their sentences and be released or they could escape on their own," Syco explained. "All in favor of going?"
Ace and Magnet raised their hands.
"All in favor of leaving?"
Twitch and Rum raised their hands.
"Indifferent?" Rum asked.
Syco and Bullseye raised their hands.
"Three way tie, we'll pull straws. Short straw decides," Bullseye said breaking up a stick.
We'll be together for one more night
Somewhere, somehow
"So how long have you been planin' this disaster of an escape plan?" Lou asked.
"We haven't," Sugah said. "Bullseye has."
"Knowing her, she was making it up as she went along," Squid smiled.
"How long did ya know her?" Dr. Pendanski asked.
"'Bout three years," Squid provided proudly.
"And why would you say that she was making it up?"
"And where the hell did she learn to fight?" Lump asked nursing his nose.
The captured members of D-Tent sat in the mess hall being interrogated by the Camp Green Lake staff.
"From him," Squid said nodding towards Zigzag.
"Yeah, she's my girl," Zig grinned.
Lump, already furious that he was beaten up by a girl twice, punched Zigzag across the jaw.
The look never left Zigzag's face. "Please sir, can I have some more?" he laughed.
The rest of D-Tent couldn't contain their giggles either.
Mr. Sir pointed the ready gun right between Zigzag's eyes. "How 'bout this for some more?"
Everyone's laughter died and they stare with concerned faces at Ziggy who was still staring wildly past the gun at Mr. Sir.
"You can't blame him ma'am. He hasn't gotten any in a while," Squid said taking his toothpick from his mouth.
"I know how that feels," Mr. Sir said putting his gun back in the holster.
Lou shot him a warning glare and he backed away. "Well then, your friends can either wander in the desert and starve or dehydrate."
"Ooo, big word," Spaz joked to Sugah who didn't laugh.
"Or they can some back here and never leave again," Lou said.
"And what's that supposed to mean?" Caveman asked.
"We've got a lot of holes, take your pick," Lou smiled.
X-ray bit his lip and looked away.
If I could find you now
Things would get better
We could leave this town
And run forever
I know somewhere, somehow
We'll be together
Let your waves crash down on me
And take me away... yeah
"Alright," Bullseye said surveying the straws. "Its your choice Syco, what we gunna do?"
Syco looked uncertain at her friends. "I don't know, well, maybe because Mr. Sir threatened to kill Zigzag at least once, I don't think we should go. There's no tellin' if we could even get them out," Syco explained her decision.
"Syc!" Ace cried in disbelief.
"The hell with that!" Magnet said.
"I-I have to say that I understand your decision Syco, but," Bullseye said. "I love him too much, I can't leave him again. I'm goin' with you Ace," Bullseye declared.
"If anybody wants to get theirs back come with us," Ace said leading the way back to the main compound.
