Chapter 31: Zig Zag Returns
"Hey, did you guys hear?" X-Ray said, trotting up to the rest of D-Tent who were heading towards the shovel bin, "Ziggy's coming back today."
This got Magnet's attention, "Really? No mentira?"
X-Ray stared at him, obviously trying to figure out what a 'mentira' was. He seemed to give up though, and said, "Yeah. Heard it from Mom."
"When's he coming?" Squid asked, kicking some dirt clods with his boot. It dissolved into dust in mid air.
"Dunno, all I heard is he's comin' a'ight?" X-Ray responded, grabbing his shovel from the rack, "Probly' later. He ain't gonna' have to dig for a while."
"No way, the Warden'll make 'im dig as soon as 'e gets here." Armpit twirled his shovel around, "You know how nuts she is 'bout our holes."
"Yeah, danged lady's in love wit' em or something, man." Barfbag said.
~~As soon as they reached the spot where Mr. Sir instructed them to dig, they noticed Mr. Pendanski standing with someone by the water truck.
Zig Zag.
"No way, man! They ain't gonna' make him dig already, are they?" Magnet shouted, as the other boys noticed Zig Zag. Mr. Pendanski was talking to him, but all Zig Zag was doing was staring at the ground.
"Do you hear me?" They could hear Mr. Pendanski asking him, "Ricky, are you listening?"
He didn't appear to be though. And if he was, he was showing no signs of it.
"So you don't mention it. Ever." Mr. Pendanski said, and then pointed towards the other boys, "Now go dig."
Zig Zag stared at him for a few seconds, until Mr. Pendanski put his hands on Ricky's shoulders and pushed him towards the other boys.
"Ziggy! What's up, man?" Magnet and Squid asked, as the other boys crowded around him.
Zig Zag stared at them for a few seconds, his eyes not in focus. Then, he blinked a few times, and looked at them again, "Hey guys."
"Zig, you okay?" Squid asked, noticing his wierder-than-normal behavior.
"Yeah, man. Just getting used to it again." He answered, picking up his shovel. He pushed it into the ground, until the dirt cracked. He looked exhasted.
"I gotta' sit down." He told them, looking like he was going to faint. Magnet looked around to see if Mr. Pendanski and Mr. Sir were still there, but they had moved on to another tent to fill water.
"Okay guys," Magnet said, helping Zig Zag to the ground, "I think we should all dig his hole. Then, when they come with the water truck, we'll put him in the hole to make it look like he's been digging it, comprende?"
"Okay," They all agreed. It was much easier for 5 boys to dig one hole than 1 tired boy to dig one.
"Man, you gonna' be a'ight?" X-Ray asked him, looking out of the already 3- feet deep hole, a few minutes later.
"Yeah. I just need some more rest." Zig Zag said, nodding his head.
"Hey, man, we had a new guy here." Magnet told him, "He lasted for 3 days."
Zig Zag looked up, "Really?"
"Yeah, he was pretty cool. Got his nick name on the first day. Domino." X- Ray said, "He got bit by a yellow spotted lizard."
Zig Zag smiled, "I missed it."
"Yeah," Squid said, looking at Magnet, "You missed alot of stuff."
