Chapter 23: The Storm

Thirty minutes later, the promised announcement came over the loudspeaker. The campers were given the choice of either going to the chow hall to play games or stay in their cabins until the storm blew over.

As much as Benjamin wanted to see Emily, he was no longer in the mood. He didn’t want to risk the chance of running into the Mohawks again. Instead he, Nathan, Aaron and two of the other Tomahawk boys elected to stay put and play cards.

“Make sure you don’t go wandering off, okay?” said Tomahawk Tony as he left. All the boys nodded and turned their attention back to the game. Nathan was teaching them a new game called Tonk he’d learned from one of the guys that worked at his dad’s auto body shop.

Minutes later, they paused when the rain started as a light pitter pat and quickly became a thumping downpour. They shut the windows and door so the blowing rain wouldn’t come in. After listening to the rain and thunder for a minute, they diverted their attention back to the game. They already had flashlights standing by in case the power went out.

Benjamin picked up the gist of the game faster than even Nathan, who was the only one who’d played before. They played round after round, only stopping once to eat the bagged lunches Tomahawk Tony brought wrapped in a large plastic bag.

Before they knew it, dusk had fallen. The current tally was fifteen games for Benjamin, five for Nathan, four for Aaron, and two each for the other Tomahawks when someone knocked on the door.

“Did you lock it?” Nathan asked the boy sitting next to him.

“Nope. I’ll go see who it is.”

He hopped up and walked to the door. When he opened it, they saw a skinny pimple faced boy standing and shivering.

“You need to help me,” he said.
