A lizard was crawling out of it. The light also illuminated Stanley's hole.
He glanced downward and had to force himself to suppress a scream. He was standing in a lizard nest.
He felt the scream explode inside him. He could see six lizards.
There were three on the ground, two on his left leg, and one on his right sneaker.
He tried to remain very still. Something was crawling up the back of his neck.
Three other counselors approached the area. Stanley heard one say, “What's going—” and then whisper, “Oh my God.”
“What do we do?” asked Mr. Pendanski. “We wait,” said the Warden. “It won't be very long.”
“At least we'll have a body to give that woman,” said Mr. Pendanski.
“She's going to ask a lot of questions,” said Mr. Sir. “And this time she'll have the A.G. with her.”
“Let her ask her questions,” said the Warden. “Just so long as I have the suitcase, I don't care what happens. Do you know how long...”
Her voice trailed off, then started up again. “When I was little I'd watch my parents dig holes, every weekend and holiday.”
“When I got bigger, I had to dig, too. Even on Christmas.” “It won't be long now,” the Warden said.
