Raiders
The two self appointed exterminators agreed to begin their search - but not before continuing to their current objective-the pantry
"We'll get fresh fruit, muesli bars, and chocolate."
"And gummy bears!" interjected Chris, annoying as ever.
"Gummy bears?"
"Yum! Where?"
Jacob slapped his hand to his forehead, in a long suffering look.
"Fine. We'll get gummy bears."
A pause.
"Why do we need gummy bears?"
Jacob grappled his hair in an I-have-just-about-had-it look
"If you want gummy bears, get gummy bears. If you don't, then don't!"
Pause
"Jeeze, take a chill pill!"
In the end, Chris couldn't find any gummy bears.
"Bummer." Stated Jacob with no enthusiasm whatsoever.
They did get, however:
10 apricots
8 strawberries (and chocolate dip)
5 Mars bars
6 Moro bars
A block of Cadbury milk chocolate
Nut bars (coated in chocolate)
And a chicken wing each with generous helpings of gravy. Needless to say, they were sick of chocolate by the time they were done eating. 2 fat bellied boys sat, groaning contentedly, against the wall.
"Christopher Mills. I thought I smelt a rat!"
"Aw! Mr Walker!"
Jacob had been hiding in the corner, hoping the fat, spatula-wielding chef did not notice him.
"Wait-you know the chef?"
"Yeah!"
"Then why are we stealing food?"
"For fun, of course!"
"Children! Children! Settle down! Now I have to go cook your dinner, but I'd appreciate it if you didn't take anything else!" He said, with a knowing wink at Chris.
"We'd better get away too, Mr Walker." Replied Chris.
