( An: I sort of forgot to put in that Mr. Sir's face was bruised, I finally found my book though!)

When we got to the place where the D Tent boys were digging, I could tell that my Uncle had it in for Stanley. He gave him his bagged lunch but didn't give him any more water. As he was giving the other boys their lunch I snuck him some, Lou was right sometimes my uncle could be dumber then a doorknob, if one of the boys died because they weren't given water then the whole place could get in trouble not just my Uncle. I really didn't want to go to foster care, especially not with Lou around. I'm just going to have to talk to him about it. When he had finished and got back in the truck I joined him.

" You know if Stanley dies because you didn't give him water they will close this place and not only you but everyone else here can face prison time for rights violations, especially if they find anything else that is against the law."

I had already find something's that were against the law, but they were just little cut corners that didn't really hurt anybody. I didn't really care about the boy's they were delinquents and were there to learn so that they could become a member of society that helps and doesn't hinder it. Wow was it just me or was I spending wayyyyyyyyyyyy to much time with Dr. Pendanski. As soon as I got back from helping Uncle Marion I went back to the cabin, I wouldn't have to worry about being home schooled just yet since it was in July. I got back to the Cabin and Lou was there. She was doing paper work. She was really pretty, she looked up and smiled I smiled back. I went into the guest room so she had the space to get her work done, I read until it was time for me to head back to the Kitchen's to help with dinner, and breakfast. We made some better oatmeal. I think the guys were happy to finally get someone who knew how to cook. That and it got my Uncle off their backs.

The next day was a kid nicknamed Zigzag's birthday, he asked for an extra juice my Uncle gave it to him. I think I was beginning to rub off on my Uncle a bit. He seemed a lot happy now that I was here. I think that he was glad to finally see me more then once every 5 years. We fixed the lunch and Dr. Pendanski offered to go take it out to the boys so my Uncle and Me went to the Warden's cabin. He wanted to make sure I wasn't giving her too much trouble. It was kind of sad, that me and my Uncle liked the same woman. He knew that I would never give her trouble but he that was his excuse to try to get back in her good books after the incident with Stanley.

He knocked on the door, I was allowed to just go ahead and go in, but he knew that he was not. Lou answered the door and looked between us wondering partly why I hadn't just gone in and why my Uncle was their.

"Come on in the air's on." We went in and I sat down.

" I just wanted to make sure my niece was behaving herself for you. I just wanted to make sure she wasn't too much trouble." She just stared at him for a moment and when she went to answer she was interrupted by a gun shot that sounded from the lake. We all three looked at each other then they ran for her car I went too. Apparently Lou can drive extremely well, not only can she drive faster then anybody I've ever met she was dodging all the holes too! We didn't even crash. When we got out there no body was died Dr. Pendanski had used the gun to break up a fight. Caveman as everyone called Stanley had Zero digging his holes, and was teaching him to read. I thought the teaching him to read was nice but how selfish was it to expect something in return.

I decided from that moment that I really did not like Stanley Yelnats. The Adults decided that their shouldn't be any more learning sessions even if Stanley did dig his own hole. Then Zero hit Dr. Pendanski with a shovel, which I thought was brilliant I probably would have done the same thing if someone was treating me like I was that stupid. He took off, Lou told the other counselors not to shot him because they couldn't have an investigation. I agreed this place broke so many laws it was insane. I didn't really care though what ever scared the hell into these boys was probably good for them. Lou said he'd come back for water, and they would get him then. She looked at her fingernails and said it was time to paint them again. I knew what she meant it was the same reason I knew my Uncle didn't have a chance with her. If he had made her mad enough for her to scratch him with fresh coat of rattlesnake venom on her fingers then the chances were that she didn't like him too much. She told the D tent boys that there still needed to be seven holes. I hoped the other boys made Stanley do it. Lou, Uncle Marion, and me got back into her car and headed back to her cabin. She told my Uncle that he needed to leave, that she needed some peace and quiet, I went to follow my uncle when she said that she wanted me in the cabin just in case the fight had caused a stir in the other boys and prompted more fights. That made me Uncle look a little spooked. I guess he forgot that it was suppose to be his turn to take the food out which means that I would have been with him when the fight started. I don't think he liked that idea very much.

"Do as she says and get in that cabin" He stalked off to the Lake to make sure none of the other boys got any ideas. Lou just shook her head and followed me into the cabin.

" Please don't hit Zero with that stuff when he get's back. Can't you just make him dig more then one hole or ask the Judge that sentenced him here to give him more time for running?" She looked at me.

"We can trust you right?" She looked at the things around her house that had to deal with K.B I had always thought that it was always just a fascination with the outlaws of the old west sort of an Ironic thing since she was a warden. I had the feeling though that their was more to the story and there was.

"And that's the reason we are so afraid of an investigation." Lou was looking at me.

" Okay, I understand. So are you guys close to finding it!" She just stared at me.

" So wait your telling me that you don't really care that we are breaking a lot of laws just to find a lot of money that is buried somewhere under all of this dirt."

"Not really, I figure that what ever scares these boys into behaving is probably good for them and hey if you get something out of it too, then good for you." She smiled at me, I keep looking at her and then I decided that it was fair that she had told me her secret and I had yet to tell her mine.

"So you told me your secret, I guess it's only fair that I tell you mine. The reason that my parent's kicked me out was because I came out to them." She stared at me.

" I told them I was a lesbian." She kept staring and I really didn't know how I could make her understand. And then she started to laugh. She laughed and Laughed and Laughed.

"Is that all you did! Don't worry, I'm not going to kick you out I'd be a hypocrite if I did." Now it was my turn to stare.
