Chapter 5: Plan for the Morning
Violet Baudelaire…
I slowly turned the screw driver, as I tried to fix a lose nail inside our broken radio. I could smell sweet smelling cocoa with cinnamon from our tiny kitchen. Sunny's hard work of studying different kinds of desserts had finally paid off. I stood up and started rummaging through an old box full of papers and other random items, knowing that my long lost pocket knife should be in there, when the door of the trailer burst open, revealing a tired looking Klaus Baudelaire.
"Where have you been?" I asked him, like how an older sister should ask. He managed to sleep very late last night and wake up at dawn, just to disappear outside without informing Sunny or me.
"I went to get the newspaper," he panted, collapsing on a futon. "I also bought some food, since I know we are starting to run out."
"You went out at 5 in the morning, just to get the Daily Times and grocery?" I asked him, trying to ignore the headline on the newspaper.
"I have to go to town early," Klaus said producing a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket. He handed it to me and I opened it. It was a flyer about a kind of fun fair.
"There is a fun fair in town," Klaus explained. "I saw it in yesterday's newspaper. It's a once year program that only happens here. So they have to open early before the whole county drops in."
"I see your point," I said handing him back the flyer.
"Cocoa!" Sunny's cheerful voice came from the kitchen. Klaus helped her with the tray she was balancing on her head and took his cup.
"Thanks, Sunny. I didn't have breakfast yet," he said.
Why do I have to take care of my brother when he reached a difficult age?
Klaus picked up the newspaper and started reading. Ever since we found out about the jail break, we started looking for our friends. It wasn't easy I'm telling you, VFD had destroyed all the files about their past. It was a terrible thing to do, but VFD thought it was a right decision. When we met Kit Snicket, we thought that finally adults were going to be able to help us. Alas, the only ones that really helped us were the Quagmire triplets. So now, it's our turn to help them. Because of them helping us, they managed to get themselves kidnapped, almost drowning on a stream, getting killed by Olaf and getting their precious memories erased. My siblings and I had promised ourselves that someday we'll pay them for their kindness…we hoped that that time was after the jail break.
I finally found the pocket knife (which Quigley gave me) and continued fiddling with the radio.
"We are close, Violet, I know it," Klaus muttered, not looking up from the paper.
"This town," Sunny agreed and then sat down on a bunch of books stacked on a chair in front of the dining table.
I didn't look up from my work. It was unbelievable, like they were reading my mind.
"Well, let's hope so, Sunny. We've followed the few clues we had. This is where it led us."
"We've just arrived here, so we have a lot of time to search for them,"
"That is if they don't get to the Quagmires before we do,"
Klaus gave a loud sigh, "They won't. WE'll find them first."
I screwed back the last screw on the radio. "Then what is our first step?" I asked.
Klaus put the newspaper down on the table, "Everyone in the county is going to the fair, what if we go there too?"
"But it's too crowded there. As you said the whole county is going," I told him back.
"Well, there's no other choice," he said, getting up from the chair. "We just have to stick together and not get lost. At least if there's a chance they're there, we'll see them because that will be the last place villains will go, so we'll have a head start." I know in the determination on his face, that there's no changing his mind. He might be right, there is a chance they'll be there, and a crowded area is the last place villains will go…in disguise. Maybe there is a chance we'll find them…maybe.
NOTE: I know it's a bit short, but the next chapter is more interesting than this. This story will get interesting…I hope. PLEASE REVIEW! I accept any type review.
