Zero dropped to the ground. He lay on his side, with his knees pulled up to his chest. He continued to groan.
Stanley watched helplessly. He wondered if it was the sploosh. He looked back toward Camp Green Lake.
At least he thought it was the direction of Camp Green Lake. He wasn't entirely sure.
Zero stopped moaning, and his body slowly unbent. “I'm taking you back,” said Stanley.
Zero managed to sit up. He took several deep breaths. “Look, I got a plan so you won't get in trouble,” Stanley assured him.
“Remember when I found the gold tube. Remember, I gave it to X-Ray, and the Warden went crazy making us dig where she thought X-Ray found it.
I think if I tell the Warden where I really found it, I think she'll let us off.”
“I'm not going back,” said Zero. “You've got nowhere else to go,” said Stanley.
Zero said nothing. “You'll die out here,” said Stanley. “Then I'll die out here.”
Stanley didn't know what to do. He had come to rescue Zero and instead drank the last of his sploosh.
He looked off into the distance. “I want you to look at something.”
“I'm not—” “I just want you to look at that mountain up there. See the one that has something sticking up out of it?”
