10 The Randles Leave Bayport

* * *

For a couple of minutes, the Hardys and Colin stood staring at the Johnson’s front door. Finally Mr. Hardy said, “It’s late, boys. We need to get home. I’ve got some thinking to do.”

Frank, Joe, and Colin piled into the van. Colin let out a groan as he collapsed into the seat. Joe did a U-turn and got behind Mr. Hardy’s car.

“I think you’re going to be really sore in the morning,” Joe told him.

“I’m already really sore, Joe,” Colin said. “I probably need to take some aspirin when I get to your house.”

“Mom and Aunt Gertrude will know what to do,” Frank added. “They’re used to playing doctor at our house. Joe and I have been known to get in a few scrapes of our own from time to time.”

When they arrived at the Hardy house, Mrs. Hardy and Aunt Gertrude were waiting for them. It was obvious that Mr. Hardy had used his cell phone to inform them of everything that had happened over the course of the evening.

“Good heavens!” Aunt Gertrude exclaimed when she saw Colin. “You look terrible!”

“You boys need to go on to bed,” Mrs. Hardy said. “Your aunt Gertrude and I will take care of Colin. He can sleep in the guest bedroom.”

Neither of the boys argued. A shower and a soft bed sounded really good to both of them.

After they had their pajamas on and were in bed, though, Frank said, “I think I’m too keyed up to sleep.”

“Me too,” Joe said, and shook his head. “Can you believe Mr. Johnson, trying to make it seem like we had beaten up Colin and were trying to put the blame on Melanie’s boyfriend?”

“I know!” Frank said. “And if you want to know the truth, I’d take the word of a homeless person any day over the word of Mr. Johnson. He’s one of those men who thinks he owns the world.”

“That’s the impression I got, too,” Joe agreed. “I guess you can’t blame Melanie for acting the way she does.” He yawned and leaned his head back against the pillow. In a couple of minutes, he was sound asleep.

Frank turned out the overhead light. He turned on his beside lamp and read a couple of pages in a book before he, too, decided it was time for sleep.
