Chapter 14: Hew finds out
6am. All the kids got up. They had become used to it by know. But something was different. Hew did not come downstairs to wake them. He did not yell, he was not in the kitchen preparing breakfast. They all were confused. Mabel was too.
Then at 7am, Hew emerged out of his bedroom. "Alright brats, change of plans. You all are to go upstairs and sit in the spare bedroom" he said in a very stern voice. "I don't wanna hear a single peep out of anyone till I let you out or you all sleep on the grass tonight. Is that clear". All the children nodded their heads in compliance.
They all start heading up stairs. Hew opens the spare bedroom door. All the children walk into it. As Mabel is about to enter it, she feels Hew's hand pull her back. "Not so fast Pines" he says locking the bedroom door without letting Mabel in.
Mabel tries to ask what's going on, but Hew cover her mouth. He then pushes her foreword to the very end of the hallway. At the end is a small room. The same room she had woken up in after she was knocked out. Mabel's heart started racing fast, she starts to panic. But Hew was larger then her and her attempts to escape were pointless. He sits her down in a chair at the end of the room and ties her.
"What are you doing" she yells now finally able to speak. "Geez relax, I'm not going to hurt you. You think I would after me not laying a single finger on you since you got here" says Hew. "Then why have you tied me up in this room" Mabel says. "Let's just say, Henry is on his way back, and very soon, I'm gonna have two Pines in my possession instead of one" he says. Mabel looks at him in shock. "If you think Dipper will fall for your tricks then your wrong, he's way smarter and more cunning then I am" says Mabel. "Oh ya I must admit your right there kid. But what your brother will fall for is what's gonna land him here with you". "And what's that, a date with Pacifica". "No. And by the way, who the heck is Pacifica" says Hew. "No, not her, you. Thinking your safe, and he is close to finding you. He'll run to that opportunity faster then you did to my son. And once he does, he will be mine as well." Mabel now looked concerned. She knew Dipper would do that if it meant finding her.
"I suggest you get comfortable. It's a long drive here" Hew says. He then wraps a piece of Duct tape around Mabel's mouth. After that, he exits and locks the room up. Mabel can hear his footsteps go downstairs. There was nothing she could do. All she could do now was hope Dipper would not fall for the same trick.
Two hours past. It was quiet, too quiet. Hew looked down the road, no sign of the van. He tried call Henry but he got no response. He started to wonder. Could Dipper have caught on to the plan. He decided to get ready. He went to the shed and unlocked the door.
