CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT

On the way to the basketball court, Charley and Lucy see the twins standing by the shooting gallery. They duck around the back hoping to miss them, but the twins are like one person with four eyes. It’s Benny who spots Lucy.

“Hey, where’s your brother?”

“Home,” she says, but Dennis catches Charley on the other side of the booth. All he wants to know is, where’s Larry?

“I don’t know,” Charley says, thankful Larry isn’t there. “C’mon,” he says to Lucy.

“Where ya goin’?” Benny asks.

“No place,” Charley says and keeps walking.

“Okay,” Benny says, pulling his brother by the arm. “We’ll go with you.”
