CHAPTER SIX

To the twins’ bewilderment, Uncle Arnon did not question where they had been the previous night. He did, however, find ways to keep them annoyingly busy over the next few days, and did not allow them out of his sight. They desperately wanted to visit Jae and whenever they could, stole glances next door, in hopes he would give them a sign, indicating he was still safe.

Of course, with all the trees dividing the sites, they had to sneak onto the road and they were not allowed to leave Arnon’s sight. So actually making contact was impossible. And Jae gave them no sign. Colin mentioned uneasily, at least ten times during their punishment, that at least there had been no sign of the Scratchers.

Sebastien visited daily, under strict guidelines. They had to be either in the trailer or within sight of the trailer, and always, within Uncle Arnon’s view. When their friend found out that the twins had been grounded, he was at first hurt, as they had gone on some crazy adventure without him. Meghan was quick to point out that then he, too, would be in trouble if he’d joined them. This smoothed things over, for now.

He did try, repeatedly, to get the twins to explain why they had snuck out. Their luck held though, and they never found the need to come up with a false story as their uncle continually had himself within earshot. Sebastien knew they would not talk about it in front of him.

During the evening on the fourth day of their torturous punishment, Sebastien arrived toting goody bags full of sugary treats. He emptied it out on the kitchen table and all their faces hungrily drooled over the pile. There were whoopie pies, crème horns, devil dogs, maple sugar candy, bismarks, and three different kinds of fudge.

After gorging themselves into sickness, Uncle Arnon, chuckling lightly, announced they were no longer grounded. Meghan and Colin assumed that their sickly faces, green from the over abundance of junk food, combined with all the work he had made them do, was finally sufficient.

It could also have had to do with the fact that someone needed Uncle Arnon, the handyman, on the other side of the camp... or he was just sick of being stuck at the trailer watching the grounded twins.

Regardless, in just minutes, the twins could finally check on Jae Mochrie.

“Only one problem,” sent Colin to his sister.

“I can’t ask Sebastien to leave. Maybe one of us could go and the other stay here?” she suggested.

“Okay, but which of us does what? And how will the other make an excuse to leave?” They did not mind allowing this problem to stew for a while longer, being that their sugar-filled, rumbling bellies greatly discouraged them from moving.

Sebastien solved their dilemma by stretching and yawning, over-dramatically.

“I think I’ll go now. Maybe hit the hay early tonight. Now that you’re not grounded anymore, we can hang tomorrow. Away from here.”

“Are you sure?” Meghan questioned their easy luck. “It’s still early Sebastien.
