Backpack Chapter 17; Christopher

Christopher was searching the Internet again, and when he told the other officers why, they said "You're crazy, Chris." And 'the Geek' said, "You're a monomaniac." But Christopher had to keep looking. He knew he would find it again eventually. He continued looking for a walking, talking, backpack.


And then one windy November day Christopher smiled to himself. Let them call me a monomaniac, now! he thought. He had found a clip from a hotel security camera in Barcelona. On the clip Christopher swore he could see a cellphone, nailgun, bucket, a wallet and, a backpack running down the street.



THE END









Backpack Chapter 16; The Battle

Backpack leaned against the door, trying to hear what was going on inside L.T.'s office.

"That's my job, are you kidding me? What are you talking about? This is not what I came here for." insisted Nailgun.

"I already told you," Backpack heard L.T.'s voice, which was now low and sinister "we need an assassin and you are the one for the job."

"I won't do it! I won't go around killing people just because you ask me to!" shouted Nailgun. then Nailgun burst the office door, knocking Backpack to the ground.

"Backpack, I'm leaving," said Nailgun running to the door, "you can come if you want."

"Yeah," agreed Backpack "lets get out of here."

"Backpack, wait up" said Wally "I'm coming with you."

"Yeah, me to," said Blackberry. Bucket, Scoop, and GPS joined them.

"NO ONE IS LEAVING!" Boomed L.T.'s loud voice, and there where two loud buzzing sounds as the lights flicked off.

"BUNGEE, FRIDGES, destroy anyone who tries to escape!!" L.T. yelled.

"Backpack, the door is locked!" yelled Nailgun frantically as he tried to pry open the door.

"GET OFF!" screamed Backpack as he knocked the two X-box Controllers off of Wally. Nailgun was shooting nails at the refrigerators as they lumbered toward him, and Bucket and Scoop where fighting Bungee.

The controllers where back up, and this time they attacked Backpack, trying to strangle him, but Backpack quickly kicked them away crushing one. but then there was a sickening CRACK as Bungie crushed Scoop and sent shards of plastic flying through the air. "Scoop!!" yelled Bucket and he retalliated by throwing Bungee who skidded across the floor.

And then L.T. was on Backpack sending pulses of electricity through his body and throwing him against the wall scorching Backpack's strap.

"Backpack, NO!!!" screamed GPS as he colided with L.T.. And then GPS and L.T. sent hard blows back and forth. GPS couldn't hold up much longer, Backpack new it, and so did L.T. but there was nothing Backpack could do. L.T. punched GPS and GPS burst into a shower of sparks.

"Let that be a reminder to all who defy me!!" shouted L.T. triumphantly.

"Nailgun, Wally, the window!" yelled Backpack.

Nailgun, Wally, Bucket, and Blackberry jumped through the window. Backpack threw a piece of glass at L.T., which barely cut L.T. and did little to help the fact that GPS, kind, knowing GPS, was still throwing sparks with fridge standing over him.

Backpack jumped out the window after his friends and followed them down the street.

Backpack Chapter 15; Back in Barcelona

hey guys sorry I took so long to finish this chapter. I got caught up in school and tennis. Anyway I hope you like it:)!!!

Backpack, GPS, Blackberry, and Nailgun headed back to the airport with red and yellow leaves falling all around them in small piles. As they emerged onto the street they found cover behind garbage cans and under cars as crowds of people walked under the bright street lights of Malabo.

Once again they snuck into the airplane's hold with Blackberry's endless complaints driving Backpack nuts, and GPS telling Nailgun all about the SIOA.

"But what if I don't like what ever L.T. tells me to do?" asked Nailgun nervously.

" Just ask if you can do something else," said a bored looking GPS.


"OK sounds good," said Nailgun. After they where out of the airplane they wandered through the Dark tunnels to the SIOA headquarters, Nailgun met L.T.

"Hello" said L.T. in a slow, calm voice "you must be our new recruit, Nailgun, am I correct?"

"Yes sir, that's my name, sir" said Nailgun with a wide grin.

"Good I want to talk to you, Nailgun" said L.T.. Backpack and Nailgun began walking with L.T. to his office door.

"ALONE!" L.T. Bellowed.

"Sorry, Sorry" Said Backpack.

First Day of School Sept 8, 2009

Today is our first day of school. We are all excited, but a little sad that Summer is over so quickly. The kids are very gung-ho the first day and motivated to accomplish a lot. This year my focus is "Literacy for Life". I can't believe we are starting our sixth year of homeschooling. I guess that means I should be a pro by now. I'm not feeling extremely adept, but I know the ropes now and I know we are going to have a great experience and learn a lot of wonderful things. :)
