Of course, Uncle Red’s plans don’t include the part about his two little Twinkies making a break for it as soon as he and Jayne are asleep, but come eleven o’clock tonight, that’s the only plan on our agenda.

“It’s time.” Frankie tiptoes into our room from her recon mission down the hall. “They’re totally out.”

As the longtime and only voice of reason in this operation, I’m compelled to resist. “Are you sure we should do this?” I ask. “What if we get caught? What if we get all the way out there and they’re not even there?”

“Anna, they told us they hang out there every night. Besides, we’re not gonna get caught. Mom and Dad sleep like rocks, especially after being out in the sun all day.”

“They might wake up for water or something.”

“Don’t be ridiculous. Even if they do, they won’t come in here. Just do what I do.”

Frankie pulls the extra pillows and blankets from the closet in our room and stuffs half of them under her blankets, motioning for me to do the same.

“Even if they open the door, they’ll think we’re sound asleep.”

Voice of Reason tries to chirp up again, but when I think of Sam hanging out on the beach at night in front of a campfire, Voice of Reason, along with his close cousin, Voice of Logic, go hoarse.

“Okay,” I say. “Let’s do it.”

Frankie does one more recon and gives the thumbs-up from outside Red and Jayne’s door. We tiptoe down the stairs, avoiding the third one that always creaks, and go, leaving the door unlocked for our return.
