“Is this a joke?” Kelly asked. “Are you serious?”

“I’m serious,” Slappy said, his jaw clicking as it moved up and down.

Snappy nodded but didn’t speak.

“You do one thing for me. And my brother and I will disappear, and you’ll never see us again,” Slappy said.

Kelly and I just stared at them. My brain was spinning. Could we really get rid of these two frightening pests?

“If we do what you say … you’ll really just leave?” Kelly said.

Both dummies nodded. “We can’t wait to get out of here,” Slappy said.

“But you said you wanted to ruin our dad,” Kelly said.

“Forget all that,” Slappy replied. “You do one thing for us, and we’re outta here. I swear.” He raised his right hand.

Kelly and I exchanged glances. We were both thinking the same question: What horrible thing did they want us to do?

“Will you do it?” Slappy asked.

“Slappy, say please,” Snappy chimed in.

“Will you do it?” Slappy repeated, ignoring him.

“Depends,” I said.

“It isn’t dangerous,” Slappy said. “No one will get hurt. It’s kind of a joke. You’ll see. It’s funny.”

He handed me a small black earbud. “Slip that in your ear, Luke.”

I held it between my fingers and examined it. “Where did you get this?”

“From your father’s equipment room,” Slappy replied. “I just borrowed it. Go ahead. Put it in your ear.”

I studied it some more. Then I pushed it into my right ear.

“It’s a tiny speaker,” Slappy explained. “I’m going to speak into your ear. You’ll be able to hear me clearly.”

“And what do I do?” I demanded.

“You just repeat everything I say,” Slappy explained. “It’s so simple, even a dummy like YOU can understand it.”

“Be polite,” Snappy scolded.

Slappy raised his wooden hand and gave Snappy a hard slap on the head. “Is that polite enough for you?”

Kelly shook her head. “This sounds like a bad idea,” she said softly.

“I promise no one will get hurt,” Slappy repeated. “Your father’s guest, Mr. Benedict, has arrived. Luke, you go in and say hello to him. Then repeat everything I say. Everything, do you understand?”

“And then what?” I said.

“Then Snappy and I will disappear. You will be rid of us. And you will have saved your dad a lot of pain and trouble.”

“This is too good to be true,” Kelly whispered.

“I’ll do it,” I whispered back. “It’s worth a try. If it means we can save Dad from these two.”

I turned to Slappy. “Okay. I’ll do it.”

“Good boy,” Slappy said. His eyes flashed. “Remember. Repeat everything I say. Don’t leave anything out. If you don’t follow my instruction, Snappy and I will stay here. And I promise you won’t be happy.”

I turned and started toward the back door. “Come on, Kelly. Let’s go.”

Slappy grabbed Kelly’s wrist. “No. She stays here. You’re on your own.”

“Luke—are you sure you want to do this?” Kelly asked, trying to pull away.

I swallowed. “Do I have a choice?”
