Mr. Pendanski was the only one fully dressed. Perhaps he had been on guard duty.
Off in the distance, Stanley could see two more flashlights bobbing toward them in the darkness.
He felt helpless in the hole. “You boys arrived just in the nick—” the Warden started to say.
She stopped talking and she stopped walking. Then she slowly backed away.
A lizard had crawled up on top of the suitcase. Its big red eyes glowed in the beam of the flashlight.
Its mouth was open, and Stanley could see its white tongue moving in and out between its black teeth.
Zero sat as still as a statue. A second lizard crawled up over the side of the suitcase and stopped less than an inch away from Zero's little finger.
Stanley was afraid to look, and afraid not to.
He wondered if he should try to scramble out of the hole before the lizards turned on him, but he didn't want to cause any commotion.
The second lizard crawled across Zero's fingers and halfway up his arm.
It occurred to Stanley that the lizards were probably on the suitcase when he handed it to Zero.
“There's another one!” gasped Mr. Pendanski. He shined the flashlight on the box of Frosted Flakes, which lay on its side beside Stanley's hole.
