Chapter Six

Our Trouble!!!

After they got better they were not well because they had a pain, a dreadful pain, that made them paralyzed when they ran, so they ate, sleeped, and did nothing but that until they were let back to their family. At the house they were cared for dearly until they went to their room, found the mirror, and remembered the Red Romer. So again we searched for the Red Romer, not his hideout for it was locked up, not his phone number for when he knew who was on the other end of the telephone he’d hang up, but what if we found him at a bank stealing money? But we did not know which bank he’d be at, at when, what time. The note when Anne pretended to be shot said to keep the police out of it, so they could not ask the police to find out where the Red Romer will be. We sighed. Maybe we were on a wild goose chase after all, but we did not know if it would be that hard after all, so we’d give it a try and try to find where he would be ourselves. So we thought hard for hours. Nobody came up with a answer. All sat with their head on their hands and their eyes closed. Suddenly Lee pointed to the Red Romer running through the field by them. “We better see where he’s going,” whispered Lee, so they ran after him. But ouch! They stood still. Then Lee was the first one to snap out of it. “Ouch, that paralyzing pain still hurts,” Lee said. “Oh he’s just going into his old tree house,” said Ben. “We ran for nothing,” said Lisette. “You bet,” said Sylvia. “Ouch ouch ouchety ouch,” said Anne. “Let us think right here. It will waste time to go back to the spot we were sitting in,” said Sylvia. So they thought for hours. But Ben said, “Silly sillies, we have to wait till that pain goes away.” And the others sadly regretted it was true, so they asked their parents when the pain would wear out. They said it would wear out in a month, so we made a calendar which had when the pain would go. Meanwhile we thought about our plans.
