Celwriter: she's soooo mean! Why? PMS? Who knows? I do. Anywho, next chapter.
Chapter 8
Cel looked at Mrs. Johnson defiantly.
"Miss Jones signed it before I left," she said with a superior air.
"Why, you..." Mrs. Johnson straightened suddenly. "Well, if you know so much about the form, who do you have to sign the witness line? Miss Jones couldn't have." Cel and Mort looked at each other and then at the sheet. Sure enough, there was the witness line.
"You can't have her!" Mort exclaimed.
"Yes, I can and I will. She belongs to the state of New York and it is within the law," Mrs. Johnson replied.
"You can't have her!" Mort yelled again in defiance. "I lost her once and I'm not going to lose her again! Not if I have to run to Canada and hide there."
"That won't be necessary," replied a voice as the sheriff from the nearby town as he stepped out from the trees.
