In Hiding
Eddy ran back to the suburbs as fast as he could, his green tongue flopping in the wind behind him. When he finally reached the cul-de-sac, he wasted no time running to Rolf's door and pounding on it. "Rolf!" he yelled. "Open the stupid door!"
The son of a shepherd cautiously opened the door. "Money-grubbing-Ed-boy?" he asked in confusion. "Why do you disturb Rolf's door with your impatience? Rolf has no times for scams, as he has been warned not to let one nose hair wander from his home."
"Let's go, we have to hurry!" Eddy said anxiously.
Rolf raised an eyebrow. "Did you not hear Rolf? To wander from his home is to-"
Eddy jumped up and grabbed Rolf's ear, yanking it down to his level. "NOW!!"
Rolf gulped. "Never have I seen you so excited before, scam-artist-Ed- boy," Rolf said. "Very well-Rolf shall follow you, though he will have to scrub papa's feet for a week in punishment."
He stepped outside and shut the door, and Eddy took off to Kevin' house. Rolf followed him, with a confused expression on his face.
Upon reaching Kevin's house, Eddy rang the doorbell and picked up Kevin's bike, which was in the driveway. He saw Kevin peek out from behind the curtains, then the door flew open.
"What are you doing with my bike!?" Kevin bellowed.
"Come and find out!" Eddy said, running to Jimmy's house. He wasted no time knocking or ringing here-rather, he just opened the unlocked door and ran inside. Jimmy was in the living room, playing with dolls. Eddy grabbed him and threw him over his shoulder.
"Jiminy Cricket, Eddy, what are you doing?"
Eddy wasted no time answering him. He realized that he would need at least on hand free, so he put Kevin's bike down and bit the tire. A foul taste entered his mouth, and he spat.
"I'm gonna pound you for that, dork!" Kevin yelled. Eddy took off for Ed's house, with Kevin hot on his heels, and Rolf not far behind Kevin, a confused look on his face.
Eddy kicked open Ed's and Sara's door. "Oh, Sara!" he yelled. "Look what I got!"
"Help me Sara!" Jimmy cried. Sara walked out of the kitchen.
"Jimmy?" she asked. "YOU LEAVE JIMMY ALONE!!" she shouted in rage, and ran after Eddy.
Eddy began running to Johnny's house, and Sara chased after him. "No, little sister!" Ed pleaded, chasing after Sara.
Eddy burst inside Johnny's house. He was playing a game of Go Fish with Plank. Eddy scooped up Plank and jammed the wood in his mouth. "Plank!" Johnny yelled, and chased Eddy no Nazz's house.
"What's goin' on, guys?" Nazz shouted out her window.
"Nazz!" Johnny shouted. "Help me get back Plank from Eddy!"
"Okay!" she said, and came out the front door a moment later.
Eddy thought. He ran to Double Dee's house, burst inside, ran up the stairs by two's, ran in his room, and grabbed the young scientist by his hat. "Let's go, sockhead," he said around a mouthful of Plank.
Eddy ran back downstairs and dodged the kids who were following him. Once he was ahead again, he ran like a madman for the dump, with the kids hot on his tail. Upon entering the landfill, he ran to the van and jumped in the back. He put Double Dee and Jimmy down, and spat out Plank.
The rest of the kids clambered in the van. Kevin shut the doors and looked at Eddy, slamming a fist into the palm of his hand. "Get ready for the worst beating of your life," he said.
"Please," Double Dee said. "I'm sure he has a reasonable explanation."
"He better," Kevin grumbled.
"I do," Eddy said quietly. He looked at his feet. "The Nazi's didn't just send a small force through here. They sent a very large force." He swallowed. "The grown-ups have been killed."
Mumbles of disbelief filled the van. "No way," Kevin said.
Eddy nodded. "The stuff I did was to make you follow, me, so I could get you all in hiding. We're going to have to stay here, at least until night. I didn't want you to get captured or killed."
The children were at a loss for words. They soon began offering whispered apologies and condolences. They stayed in the van, mindful of the heavy footsteps and unknown languages they heard of the soldiers outside, searching the town for survivors. Later, they heard gunshots. The last of the survivors from Peach Creek, other than those children hiding in an old van in the town dump, had been executed.
