Chapter five: Payback
Zero and Stanley quietly snuck into the last tent where the consolers slept. The glanced around, looking for Mr. Pendanski.
They soon spotted him near the back of the tent. They quietly snuck over to him and looked around at his stuff.
Next to his cot there was a small shelf. On the top of the shelf he seemed to have personal belongings. There was a picture of a woman, man, and kid on it. They guessed that was his family. Next to the picture was a pair of scissors he probably used for trimming his beard. Next to that, was a small book with pictures in it.
"Wow he actually had a life," Stanley whispered.
On the middle shelf were small things it looked like he used daily. There was a small battery operated radio closest to the cot. Next to the radio was a small bottle of sunscreen. A cowboy hat was next to that, and the last thing on the shelf was a pair of black sunglasses.
Looking down on the last shelf, there was an assortment of clothes. Shirts, socks, everything! On the other side of the clothes was a book. On the side of the book was his cowboy boots, and a small notebook.
Over the shelf was two small wooden pegs extending from the wood of the wall. There sat his rifle.
Zero took the scissors off the top shelf and carefully cut Mr. Pendanski's beard so that it was very short. Stanley grabbed some of the clothes, as did Zero. The snuck back out and found the hole where the yellow spotted lizards still were. They threw the clothes in and headed back to the tent. What would happen tommorow? Only time would tell.
**************
The next morning Mr. Pendanski awoke almost normally. He was a bit drowsy so didn't notice that he only had one pair of clothes. He quickly dressed and made his way to the warden's cabin.
He knocked on the door and the warden opened it. She opened her mouth to say Zero was gone when she saw him. She froze and stared.
Mr. Pendanski was wearing a lime green t-shirt with huge black buttons going down the middle. He was wearing a pair of dark brown pants that were so small on him that they were 5 inches above his ankles, and a white belt, well what was a white belt. It was now an ugly yellow color. He had on one white sock with a yellow stain on it, and one black sock. To add it all up he had no beard left.
The warden burst out laughing. Well of course you would too.
"What?" Mr. Pendanski asked annoyed.
She opened her mouth to talk but couldn't. She pointed to a mirror.
Mr. Pendanski walked to the mirror. When he looked into it he yelled so loud that the entire camp woke up.
He ran outside and made his way back to the tent. He looked to see all his clothes were gone. He ran back outside, but tripped on a dirt pile. In the hole was a pile of clothes; his clothes!
He reached down and started picking them up. When reaching down for his last t-shirt he saw a yellow spotted lizard jump up.
Mr. Pendanski jumped back. "I don't need that shirt. Nope." He quickly got back to the tent and changed.
From D-tent, Zero and Stanley high fived. The other boys looked at them.
Magnet stepped forward. "Look Zero, we're sorry."
"Yeah, we shouldn't have done that to ya man," Squid spoke up.
"We were just following along with Stanley, because-" X-ray started.
"Because he just seemed more worthy. You know cause he's talked to us," Zigzag jumped in.
"It was wrong. Do you forgive us man?" Armpit finished up.
Zero said nothing.
Instead he nodded.
*************
"What do you mean Zero's not here?!"
"Just what I mean! Don't you understand words? Zero.is.not.here. Stanley probably came and got him."
Mr. Pendanski thought a moment. Then it came to him. "Stanley. Zero."
He stepped out of the cabin, walking toward D-tent. The rocks crumbled under his feet, and the wind blew dust around him. He kept walking; toward D-tent...to have a little talk, with Zero and Stanley.
