Chapter 16

"So, how did you get here?" Mikey asked.

"I said bye to you and then I went my own way..." Hope answered.

"Oh. Did you get lost?"

"Yep."

"How many times? I got lost about ten times!"

"Once."

"Once? That's it?"

"Yep."

"How do you know your way around?"

"Because. Right now, we're only five minutes away from home."

"From home? What do you mean that we're only five minutes away from home? Home, is all the way in New York City...and we're, we're in Washington."

"Not anymore."

"What do you mean not anymore?"

"We walked a very long time. We're back in New York now."

"WHAT! I gotta call the guys and tell them that I'm back here!" Mikey took out his ShellCell.

"No!" Hope grabbed the ShellCell and threw it in the river.

"HEY! Why did you do that?"

"Don't tell! Because then they'll come back here and look for us! And if they find you! They'll find me!"

"I have to tell them! Their my brothers!"

"And my Mom."
