Chapter 28.

Memorys just kick ass don't they? Lol.

"Hmm, it's no wonder you three are in here. I'm not suprised." Mistress Collingwell said pacing in front of Hallie, Alex and Josh. "Nope. It's normal." Alex said in a smart tone. "Don't get smart with me boy." Collingwell growled starng him right in the eye. "I'm not smart." Alex shot back. "I know you're not!" Collingwell yelled frustrated.

"Too much for ya, you old hag?" he said stepping on her foot. "OW! You little-" She yelled pulling his arm and wrenching him forward. "Whatcha gonna do? Sue me?" He asked innocently spitting on her. "Ugh, you have been the eyelash in my eye for the longest time. Because you know what, this is all about to change. I'm keeping you brats apart. Seperatly I doubt you will be as much of a pain." Collingwell said. She could see the anger fired up in their eyes.

"You can't do that!" Hallie yelled. "Oh can't I?" She asked dragging Alex to one of the doors across the hall and throwing him inside the room. She reached for Hallie next and threw her in the room next to his and Josh into the next one and locked all the doors. "Maybe you 3 will behave when you learn what it's like to be isolated from everyone!" She shouted walking away.

"What an idiot." Hallie said taking out her knife and cut a hole in the wall between her and Alex's room. "Hey, this is actually pretty cool." Alex said coming up to the hole. She cut it as big as a window. It took her about 10 minutes since the wall was old and rotting away anyway. She ran over and did the same to Josh's wall. "This is more like it." Hallie said putting her knife away. "Yeah, there's no way she can break us apart." Josh said with a victorious laugh.

"You've really done it this time." Collingwell said cornering Spot in the secret room. "I've done many things." Spot said. "You expect me to just let this go?" Collingwell growled. Her eyes glowing and her teeth bared. "Let it go, go with the flow." Spot said crossing his arms. "Now you've done it." She said drawing toward him.

"I've always done it. Always have and always will." Spot said. "Well, then I guess you can kiss Hallie goodbye. All I got to do is call up Judge Monahan and tell him where Hallie is and he will have her and they'll kill her." Collingwell said, an evil grin was spreading across her old, ugly, expired face. "No! Leave her outta this!" Spot yelled.

"Oh, so now is the message coming through? I guess I finally found your soft spot. I wont call the judge, as long as you obey me. Then we'll be fine." Collingwell said with a big evil smile. Spot didn't want to say yes but he had to. "F- Fine!" He yelled walking past her and out of sight.

"Where is everyone?" Soda asked walking inside the orphanage. She walked up the stairs and into their room and saw the kids playing. "Hey." She said from the doorway. "Hallie!" They all yelled and ran over to her. "Hey guys." Soda said giving them all hugs. "Where's Alex?" She asked them. "Um, we think he's in trouble right now...we heard Collingwell screaming..." Ashley said.

"What else is new?" Soda thought glumly. She walked out and ran into Collingwell. "So you're back huh?" She asked. "I guess so." Soda said in return. "Well, why don't you go and do some things and make yaself useful?" Collingwell said throwing her a scrub brush. "How about no?" She said throwing the scrub brush to the floor.

"How dare you..." She growled. "How dare I? Well fine, I'll do it again." Soda said picking it up and throwing it clear down the hallway and into the closet. "You're getting my last nerve Basham." She warned coming closer. "Oh, well that's funny, cuz I believe that you've been on mine for too long!" Soda yelled slapping her right across the face.

"SODA!" Spot yelled coming up behind her and holding her back. "Alex, you get this bitch out of her and into control! If you don't manage to then I'll do it." Collingwell warned. "Yes ma'am." Spot said and waited for her to leave. "What's the matter with you?! Why did you stop me from decking her?!" Soda shouted at him.

"Soda, let me explain..." He started but Soda immediatly cut him off. "No, there's no need to explain. Clearly you sided with her now and you're against me! Thanks a lot Alex, I thought you'd never sink this low!" She yelled slapping him and running off and into the secret room where she buried her face in her knees and cried non stop.
