Chapter 3

"Whats that?" asked Count Olaf nodding at the invention.

"I uhh…was bored." said Violet.

"Give me it!" said Count Olaf.

"Never!"

"NOW!"

"NO!"

"I'm waiting Violet Bauladaire!"

"Well you can wait! I'm Not giving this to you!"

Count Olaf grabbed Violet and pushed her down the floor. She slid down and the invention that she had fell out of her grip.

Klaus came next to her and picked up the invention fast. He helped his sister up and he saw Violet's face bloody.

"Give it now!"

"Why!"

"Why? BECAUSE!"

"I spent AGES making that. I don't want to just give it up!"

Count olaf didn't wait any longer. He grabbed the invention out of Violet's hand, than grabbed Sunny, locked the door and left. Violet and Klaus just stared and than banged on the door. They heard Sunny crying.

"Now what?" asked Klaus.

"We get our parents!"

"No. Sunny."

"Whatever. What time is it?"

Klaus looked at the watch he had. It had been resting on his left hand since the day he was on the beach.

"11:00, at night." He replyed.

"Hey…than I can invent something to get out of here. Everyone would be asleep, right?"

"Everyone but Count Olaf!" said Klaus.

"Okay. Than I make another invention to poke a small hole in the wall…"

"No. We'll use this." He picked up the tool Violet was using. He was about to bang it on the wall, when Violet shrieked, "NO KLAUS!"

"Why?"

"Because…code!"

"Oh yea."

He ripped a clean sheet of paper out of his notebook and took out a purple shiny pen. He wrote neatly a question. Than he folded it and said, "From Violet, Klaus, and Sunny." On the top.

"Okay."

"Alright, here I'll make a small hole."

Klaus handed the small tool to her. Violet quietly scraped it off.

She put the note underneath. Than Klaus and Violet sat there, looking at the hole.

"Go to sleep Klaus." Said Violet.

"No. You."

"No I'll watch. We'll take turns."

"Okay." He yawned and slept.

Violet thought as hard as she could. The words her parents had said…"Its your responsibility to look after your siblings. Violet, you'll always be the eldest, and that makes your duty to take care of them."

She was about to try to break the door to get Sunny, when she caught something at the corner of her eye. A piece of paper was sliding through the hole that they had made. She quietly shook Klaus and pointed at the paper, and Klaus smiled at her, as they went to pick it up.

Mean while, Sunny was in Count Olaf's uncomfortable arms. She sighed but that was hard too, because Count Olaf smelled like a skunk.

"He He He He!" he laughed, as he opened a door. "Baby Brat, your with me now!"

"No They come soon!"

"And how do you know?"

"Because!"

"Well, they'll never find you Here!"

When Olaf opened the door, Sunny's eyes widened as she saw The Quagmarie triplets sitting there on the wooden floor, staring at Sunny.
