Angel: WHERE WERE YOU!

Me: I'm running outta ideas

Mimi: What's gonna happen now? And who's our new friend for us to meet?

Me: Here she is!

(Nadia walks in)

Nadia: Why am I here?

Me: I need someone to keep them quiet.

Angel: New Friend! Wheee!

Nadia: Oh God.

Me: Give them granola bars and juice. I'll be back later.

Collins was released from the hospital and soon the boho family went to work. Maureen's protest was a smash, the kids posted flyers around their schools and soon word even got to the news. Mark's old colleagues were storming their place with reporters and it got lots of coverage.

Soon it was the day of the demolioton, which was the day of the sit-in. It was set up so they barricaded the door to the loft. All of the kids and parents sat in the line when the demolition crew came to clear out the building. The workers knocked on the door on the loft.

"Okay clear out, we're about to blow up the building in 15 minutes" one said

The gang sat there in silence.

"Um did you just hear us? We're clearing out in 15."

" We're not moving from this spot. This is our home and we won't let it be destroyed!" Rachel said standing up.

"Okay we really don't have time for this" one said "I'm calling the owner."

He went back outside and got on the phone. "Hello, Coffin? Yeah I got this group of folks with some kids refusing to leave…okay bye" he said as he hung up. He got the megaphone out. "OKAY NOW HEAR THIS, THE OWNER OF THE BUILDING IS ON HIS WAY OVER. IF YOU DO NOT DISPERSE BY THE TIME HE ARRIVES YOU WILL BE SUBJECT TO ARREST!"

Mark went to the window and answered "BRING IT ON!"

Benny arrived 10 minutes later with the cops. He got the megaphone out again. "OKAY GUYS WE HAVE THE BUILDING SURRONDED! A SWAT TEAM IS ON ITS WAY IN! THE DYNAMITE IS BEING PLACED!"

Ria came to the window "WELL YOU MIGHT AS WELL GIVE IT UP! WE'RE NOT LEAVING UNTIL YOU STOP THE DEMOLITON! OH AND BY THE WAY WE HAVE YOUR DAUGHTER IN HERE TOO!"

Benny almost had a heart attack "What! We've been looking for her for days!" He turned to the SWAT leader. "When you get them, arrest them all for kidnapping in the second degree!"

Just then, the explosives director walked up to Benny.

"The bombs have been set"

Angel: ALL THIS AND YOU'RE GONNA KILL THEM!

Me: No I'm not that mean.

Mimi: I don't want Roger and Ria in jail!

Nadia: (to me) Are they always like this?

Me: Yes.

Mimi: (to readers) R&R!

Angel: I have chocolate!
