caught his eye. Oh, no! What the heck was Shroom doing in there? He was jiggling around like an idiot! Shroom danced by the pool and moved toward Spaz. The other girls moved with him. Cash came out of the house with a blonde. Hmmm, must be Val. He looked like he belonged there. Pone dashed around the fence and found an opening. Cramming his hat on his head, he squeezed through the break. He dropped his T-shirt and tried to blend in.
    Spaz spotted Cash. Cash spotted Pone. Pone gritted his teeth and pointed to Shroom. Spaz's eyes grew big. Shroom only saw the bouncing blonde in the teeny weenie bikini in front of him. The old guy had moved on. Spaz laughed and inched her way toward Shroom. Spaz stood between him and blondie. Shroom came out of his trance. His gaze stared straight at Spaz's chest. "Mmm. Pretty mama!"
    Pone swore. Shroom drooled. Shroom danced with half-closed eyes. He grabbed Spaz's hand and yanked her to him. With her other fist, Spaz let him have it. Right in the family jewels. Shroom froze. He squeaked. His face turned a funny shade of purple. He doubled over and Cash grabbed him. Good thing, because Shroom dropped like a rock. Cash scooted backward to the opening in the fence. Pone bent to take Shroom's feet. They dragged him out, feet first.
    Spaz picked up his hat. She slapped it on his gut. "Pond Scum." Shroom opened his eyes. They grew wide. "Oh, my God, Spaaa–"
    Cash clapped a hand over his mouth. Pone looked up. The old guy was coming over. Crap. I'm going to jail. All because of you, moron!
    Just then, Cash dropped his end and Shroom's head bounced off the ground. Pone yanked hard. Shroom's skinny little butt caught for a second. Pone panicked and pulled hard. Shroom slipped through the opening.
    Shroom grabbed the back of his head. "Ow, that hurt! Give me back my feet before I stuff one down your throat! He huddled there, curled in a ball, rubbing his head.
    Pone dropped his feet. He heard Cash say, "Hey, Mr. H. Great party! I just stopped in to see Val…The voices faded. Pone let out a breath.
    Bean noticed Shroom on the ground. He cut the power to the weed whacker, the silence immediate. Bean ran over. "Hey, what are you guys doing–"
    "Shhh!"
    Bean shut up.
    Pone gave Shroom a nudge. "Get up, man. We gotta get out of here!"
    Shroom looked back. "But Cash is still in there." He thought a second. "Wait a minute!" Shroom jumped to his feet. "Spaz was in there. I saw her." He looked confused. "Boy was she hot! I didn't know who she was at first. He grabbed his pants. "I know that fist though."
    Bean looked toward the fence. "What?"
    Pone grabbed his arm. "Never mind. We gotta get out of here. Now! Let Cash cover for us. Grab the tools. Let's go!"
    The three of them picked up the tools and stuffed them in the caddy. They ran across the lawn to the greenhouse. Breathing hard, they ducked around a corner. Pone looked back. "Crap!" He gave Shroom a hard look. "This is all your fault, dumbass!"
    "What? What's my fault?" He peeked around the corner and saw several beefy security guys. "Oh. Uh, damn. Run!"
    They took off . Opening the greenhouse door, Bean slipped inside. Pone dove under a tarp covering a mound of compost. Shroom streaked toward the broken gate. Pone watched. "Shroom, no!" Shroom never looked back.
    The security guys stopped at the same corner where the boys had stood moments before. One bald guy leaned over, hands on his knees. Breathing hard, he wiped his brow. "Man those kids were fast."
    "Yeah, want to check out the buildings? I'll go after the skip."
    "Naw, didn't you see? They ran over the hill. Two are long gone. Let's get that skinny ass at the top of the hill." The bald guy nodded and they ran after Shroom. Pone waited. No sound from Bean. Pone waited some more. The tarp itched. It grew heavy. He tried not to move. Dirt trickled down the back of his jeans. That was the last straw. He carefully lifted the corner of the tarp. Nothing moved out there. He lifted it higher. Nada .
