Mr. Mertle's Granddaughter

Chapter 6

A/n: I do not own The Sandlot or any characters and pictures used! I only own Allison Mertle!

I ran over and jumped the fence, well tried to jump the fence but everyone except Benny and Smalls pulled me down.
"What were yo thinking Allie you coulda died!" "Calm down imma get that ball." I said giving Benny a 'go ahead and tell them look'.
As Benny explained what I had told him a few days ago I climbed over the fence and tried to find the ball.
I found it hidden in the fort with the rest of what I assumed to be the gang's baseballs. It was all chewed up and dirty from Hercules drawing it here. I looked up when I grabbed it to see Hercules growling at me.
"Hercules don't growl at me I'm just getting Smalls ball." Then he barked.
I looked at him with slight fear in my eyes, then ran and jumped over the fence. I heard him growling then a snap just as I got up off the ground with the help of Benny. The Hercules jumped over the fence and ran at me.
"Oh shit!" I yelled and ran through the neighborhood with Hercules and the boys following me.
"Benny go get another ball from the yard! Now!" I yelled. He turned and ran back towards the Sandlot.
I pushed myself and dumped garbage cans and ran through the theater then doubled back to meet the boys and yelled once again.
"Sandlot, Sandlot, Sandlot, I have a plan!"
I got to the sandlot and saw Benny climbing back over the fence I stoped right in front of him grabbed the ball and switched then jumped over the fence with Hercules following me soon after. The fence fell with a great crash. I covered my face to block the dust and heard a few whimpers. I liked up to see Hercules under the fence and all the boys staying there with their mouths hanging open.
I ran to the dog and tried to lift the fence up I almost got it but not high enough for Hercules to get out. I looked at Benny with a pleading look. He thew the ball to Smalls and helped me with the fence and Hercules ran out. I sat on the ground, exhausted from all the running, when Hercules walked up.
I raised an eyebrow at the dog but he just walked over and licked my face then lasted his huge head on my lap causing me to grunt under the weight.
Benny laughed at me when my back door opened. All the boys cowered away from the fence.
"What's going on?" My grandpa asked with a stern voice.
"Oh hi grandpa." I said mumbled.
"Allie? What are you doing?"
"Well," I started.
"What happened sir was we hit a baseball into your yard and Allie was helping us but Hercules got out and chased her."
"That's what all the ruckus was. Well come on in." He said walking in Smalls followed and Benny helped me up then we followed in.
"Sit down." Grandpa said as we walked into the living room.
"You're in trouble aren't you son?"
"Yeah that baseball was my step dads I stole it with out asking."
"It was signed by George grandpa." I said.
"George signed this I take it back you're not in trouble you're dead where you stand." I chuckled at him.
"Hold on." He walked over to his cabinet full of his signed balls and pulled out the one signed by all the 1927 Yankees.
"Here son. I'll trade yah."
"That's really nice of you but that ball really is signed by Babe Ruth."
"So's this one and the rest of the 1927 Yankees." "Wow!" Benny said and I chuckled as I watched him examine it.
"Murders row! Lou Gehrig!" Benny exclaimed "Babe Ruth!" Smalls said I just watched in silence when my grandpa chuckled.
"But why would you trade that ones all chewed up?" Smalls asked.
"I gotta lot of good stuff. Look at that stuff." He said pointing to the cabinet filled with he's signed baseball collection.
"Besides you need it more than I do."
Smalls walked over to the cabinet.
