Chapter 18:

One week passed from when Kandy sent her last letter to Squid. She didn't know it at the time but this letter would ever be answered. Only two days after the letter was sent there was a miracle at Camp Green Lake. Two boys found some treasure and the warden, Mr. Sir, and Mom were all put under arrest. The boys had one last night at Camp Green Lake before they were going to be sent home.

"Hello?"

"Hi is Kelly there?"

"Yah this is Kelly who is this?"

"Kandy? This is Magnet guess what!"

"What!"

"Were coming home! All of us Caveman and Zero found some treasure and the whole camp is getting shut down. And if you ask me that's fucking awesome!"

"Wait, wait you all get to leave? All of you?"

"Yup!"

"When?"

"Tomorrow afternoon. We are all getting on busses and going home. Well unless you live close by and someone can come and get you. I told them I was going to call someone to see if they could drive me but I didn't have anyone to call, so I thought I would call you and tell you the news!"

"Oh my God! Thanks!"

Kandy quickly hung up the phone and wrote a quick note to Jake (the guy she was staying with.)

Jake-

I have to go and pick someone up I'm sorry if your mad but I really have to do this. I will be safe and I will call you later tonight and tell you the details. I will be safe don't worry I should be back in a few days. I have money and everything. I'm going to be fine! I promise I will call and again I'm sorry for leaving but I have to pick someone up!

Kandy jumped in the car and started it up. She drove all night and finally stopped at a hotel in Texas. Even though she got a room she didn't know why because the thought of finally seeing Squid for the first time in a long time was too much excitement to handle. She got only a few hours of sleep and was awake by nine am the next morning. Only an about an hour left and I will be hugging Squid again.

Squid's P.O.V

Two months. I have been here for two months without Kandy. I get to see her two months early. I can't believe that soon I might be able to see her.

"Come on man it's your turn!" X-ray's voice protruded into Squid's thoughts. All of D-tent was playing one last game of pool before they went home. Squid took it shot and the ball went in. X-ray continued to talk.

"So you guys, what is the first thing you are going to do when you get home?"

"I dunno. Probably light something on fire or something." Everyone laughed at Zigzag's answer. Every one knew he was obsessed with fire, but the funny thing was is that he was probably telling the truth.

"What about you Squid?"

"Me? Oh, well I dunno probably call Kandy or something or fly out and see her."

"Well, whatever you do don't look now but here comes Mr. Jones."

Mr. Jones was the man who was now in charge of Camp Green Lake. He was much nicer than the warden but he was too up tight. Everything was a big deal to this guy. He had been stressing about who was getting on what bus all day.

"The busses are arriving! Everyone go and get your things!"

Everyone listened and went to go and get their things. When everyone had gotten there things and left the tent only Squid was left. He thought about when he had first seen Kandy in this tent and how their first kiss was on the steps here. Although he had always considered this place hell, and he wasn't going to miss it he was going to miss the memories that came along with it. Everyone was waiting for rest of the busses and everyone was getting sorted into lines according to where they lived. Squid got into the New York line.

"Alan Smith? Where is Alan Smith?"

"Right here." Squid was confused on why anyone needed him.

"Alan Smith your ride is here."

My ride? Who would come and get me? Not my mom she probably had forgotten all about me by now. But then a black Escalade pulled up onto the lake bed and dust was sent flying. A 5'6 skinny girl with green eyes and dark brown hair got out of the car and looked around.
