11. Colt Gone Wrong Chapter 4

     The evening came. The Boy's got back home and Grandpa went back to his cabin.
  Rocky and Colt were making supper, while Tumtum was playing in the living room on the floor.
  Then Rocky saw a light shining through the window and disappeared ,, Mom's home. '' Rocky called to his brother's.
  Colt got to the kitchen cabinet and took out some dishes to set the table.
  Mrs. Douglas came in ,, I'm home! '' she closed the door behind her and hung the car keys up. She sniffed as she smelled delicious air coming into her nose from the kitchen.
  Her eye's glanced and what she saw, made a smile on her face as she got into the kitchen.
,, Hey Mom. '' Colt greeted her friendly.
,, Hey. How was work? '' Rocky asked as he stood by the stove.
,, It was good. And, what happened to you guy's? '' Mrs. Douglas walked up to the dining room table and looked at one dish to another that Colt set.
 ,, Nothing. Why? '' Colt replied.
,, You're making supper; which you never do. '' Mrs. Douglas smiled and walked up to the stove where Rocky was standing.
,, Yeah well, it is already 7:30pm and we were getting hungry; so we figured to make something. '' Rocky said while he was stirring.
,, Instead of getting something cold out of the fridge and eat on the couch. '' Colt added.
,, Wow boy's. I really don't know what to say. Well, you did learned some cooking from Grandpa during summer, so I think you're good at it. '' Mrs. Douglas smiled at her son's.
  Rocky and Colt smiled back.
,, Where's Tumtum? '' Mrs. Douglas asked.
,, Oh he's probably in the living room playing with his toy's. '' Colt said as he took some silverware out of the wardrobe.
,, How come you're home so soon? '' Rocky asked as he kept the fajitas in the pan on the stove in stirring.
,, Well your father had more work tonight after all, and he told me to go home and take some rest. And he said there wasn't much for me to do this coming evening anyway so... '' Mrs. Douglas answered as she put her purse on one chair.
,, What did you have to do during the day? '' Colt asked as he put the silverware down next to each dish.
,, I went through file's and put them in order, and then stapled them together. '' Mrs. Douglas replied.
  Colt nodded slowly and said nothing.
  Tumtum came into the kitchen, with a candy bar in his mouth ,, Is mom home yet... Oh hey mom! ''
,, Hey sweetie. How was school? '' Mrs. Douglas smiled at her youngest son.
,, What do you mean? It's Saturday. '' Tumtum said.
,, Oh right. '' Mrs. Douglas laughed as she covered her hands over her face. Rocky and Colt laughed with her.
,, Sorry. I had so many things running in my head today. '' Mrs. Douglas chuckled and shook her head. Then she realized, what happened the other day with Colt, she still didn't find out yet; he left the house without saying anything and didn't replied to Rocky's texts or answered his calls ,, Hey Colt. Can we talk about what happened the other day? '' she looked at Colt.
  Colts heart felt like as if stopped and that his ears were going to fall off. Did she knew about what he did? And what happened between him and Rocky?
  Rocky, who stood at the stove bit his lips and crossed his fingers ,, Oh please. Please don't say it. '' Rocky thought to himself.
,, What do you mean? '' Colt pretended he didn't remembered.
,, Well you left the house yesterday without saying anything, and Rocky tried to text you and to call you, but you just ignored it. '' Mrs. Douglas said.
,, I was out, with some friends. '' Colt quickly replied.
  Rocky's eye's got big ,, Busted. ''
  Mrs. Douglas raised her eyebrows ,, But how come you couldn't say anything? You're always telling me where you're going, before you leave the house. ''
,, I know, Mom. I'm sorry. I was in a hurry and they were already in their way to pick me up. '' Colt said. He hoped he didn't messed it up.
,, But then why didn't you answer Rocky's calls? Or texts? '' Mrs. Douglas kept asking.
  Rocky knew Colt needed help at this one, and he didn't wanted to let his mom also know of what happened last night ,, Supper is ready. '' Rocky interrupted their conversation and turned the stove off.
,, C'mon Mom. Let's go wash our hand's. '' Tumtum went and grabbed his mother on her hand and begin to walk.
,, Yeah Rocky. You coming? '' Colt tried to keep the subject changed. Thanks to Tumtum for that case!
,, Yeah. Let me first put this on the table. '' Rocky put some oven mittens on and took the pan of fajitas and put it on the table.
  Mrs. Douglas and Tumtum left for the bathroom. Colt walked up to Rocky ,, Gosh. That was so close! '' he whispered.
,, I know right? I mean, did Tumtum helped you too by changing the subject so quickly? '' Rocky whispered back.
,, Positively. '' Colt sighed.
,, Colt? '' Mrs. Douglas called her son from the bathroom.
  Colt raised his eyebrows ,, Yeah? ''
,, Can you please come and take the trash out? It's full. '' Mrs. Douglas replied.
  Only the trash. Colt thought Tumtum would've told her about what happened. But a good he didn't ,, Yeah sure. ''
  Colt went and took the bag of trash out of the bathroom and went outside, and headed to the garbage dumpster.
  He opened the dumpster and threw the bag in, but... BOOM!!! Someone hit him on the back of his head! Colt fainted and fell down to the ground.
  Who would hit him on the back of his head that late?
