After School on Monday the 7th

Cody Walsh was sitting on the couch on Saturday with nothing to do. Today is the weirdest day ever, he thought. It was Saturday, that was usually the most exciting day of the week because there was no school and there was not going to be school the next day either. Today however, there was absolutely nothing he thought would be fun or interesting to do. Suddenly, the phone rang. He picked it up.
"Hello? Who is this?" He asked boredly.
"Hi, Cody! My little nephew! It’s been a long time since I’ve heard from you! Long time no see!"
"I’m sorry, uhh I’m not sure who this is? Could you please state your name?’
"Why! Cody, don’t you remember your old uncle Hetty!"
"Uncle Hetty? I’m sorry I think you’ve got the wrong number or something. I don’t have an uncle Hetty. My name’s Cody Walsh, he he"
"I know it is! I’m your uncle. The reason you don’t know me is because I’m you’re long lost uncle. Why, you’ve never even seen me!"
"Just shut-up, I don’t know you!" Cody hung up the phone angrily. Who was this uncle Hetty? This guy was probably some nutty nut guy. He went back to the couch and sat back down. Suddenly, the phone starts ringing again.
"Hi, Cody! My little nephew! It’s been a long time since-----" Cody slammed the phone down so hard that his hand turned red. This guy was nutty! The phone rang again. Cody picked up the phone and yelled
"Shut up and stop calling!"
"Cody? Are you feeling okay?"
"What? Oh sorr-- he he he-- sorry Jake. See there’s this guy who says he’s my uncle and well it’s along story." He’d just made a fool out of himself yelling into the phone thinking it was the Hetty guy when it was really just his friend Jake Berry. He’d have to explain to him later.
"Okaaaaay. Well Cody, I was wondering if you’d like to go to an Amish farm with me on Monday."
"What’s Amish?"
"Uhh, well I’m not sure. Just a sec, let me look it up in the dictionary." Jake ran over to get the dictionary and looked up "Amish".
"Uhh well pretty much it’s...... people who don’t believe in using modern technology and don’t have indoor plumbing and don’t have video games and don’t have TV and don’t----"
"Okay, uh Jake, I get the picture. Now tell me, why on earth do you want to go to an Amish farm with me?"
"Oh, I need an excuse so I don’t have to go to Drama club on Monday. Even though I don’t mind Drama club and like it, for some reason I don’t want to go."
"Uhh, sure but is someone going to take us there?"
"Of course, My long lost uncle Hetty is!"
"Jake listen, I---"
"Don’t worry Cody. He is really my long lost uncle. So are you coming or not?"
"Sure." Cody said. Is this a stupid decision, he thought. Maybe it was. He couldn’t think straight. Maybe it had something to do with him falling out of bed in the morning. Oh well, He was going to an Amish farm on Monday.
The 3:00 bell rang and Cody went straight to his locker and straight out the door with Jake. Jake’s supposedly long lost uncle Hetty was waiting for them just across the street from the school. He was tall, and had grayish hair and a white beard. His hands were all scarred up and some of his hair was falling out. He was wearing a plain coat with buttons and brown shoes with laces. His nose was pointy and mucus was dripping out of it. He looked nothing like Jake at all. He was probably not really his uncle, Cody thought, but if Jake’s mom let him go, it was probably safe. Maybe the guy was a family friend of Jake’s. Maybe, it was just a coincidence that the guy who called Cody had the same name and was claiming to be an uncle. The two on them jumped into the car. The supposedly uncle Hetty forced them to take off their jackets and put buttoned ones on. He said that the Amish people would be offended if you wore zippers around them. Zippers were much to new technology for them.
The three of them drove for about 1 hrs. About 10 after the ride had started, the Hetty guy took out a phone and made two calls. Then he threw the phone out the window. Neither Cody nor Jake noticed because they were both looking out the window. (The opposite one) The Hetty guy suddenly pulled to the side of the rode and shut the engine off. They were right next a bunch of cornfields and farms.
"Here we are! You guys can go around and explore but please don’t hurt any of the crops, the Amish need them to survive. Did you know that in Minnesota somebody that lived in a regular town went to a distant country and got polio germs on him? He didn’t catch because he had been vaccined, but when he traveled back to his hometown, he spread the germs to an Amish village and since the Amish people don’t get vaccines because they don’t believe in new stuff, a bunch of them caught it.
"No, uncle Hetty. I didn’t know that. I have no idea why I would know that," said Jake. Cody and Jake started by walking down a path through the cornfields. They saw little houses that looked like they were from the 1800’s or something. The trees were really big and every where they looked there were leaves. The roads were made of dirt and you could see some hoof marks in the soil. People’s yards were pretty much made of dirt and weeds. There was no nice green grass or anything. Deer and rabbits were everywhere; they even saw an opossum house with baby opossums in it. It was weird, as if they had just stepped back in time. Cody Explained to Jake why he had yelled into the phone Saturday morning and told him all about the Uncle Hetty guy.
"You know on Saturday morning I yelled into the and told you about that Hetty guy.
"Ya, you said you were going to tell me. You said he said he was your uncle or something."
"Right, On Saturday morning right before you called. The phone rang and I picked it up. This guy was on the phone and he said that he was my long lost uncle Hetty. I told him he had the wrong number but he insisted. I hung up, but he recalled. Then you called and I thought it was him again."
"Are you serious? That’s crazy. I think, maybe you might have hit your head somewhere Cody. I’m starting to believe more and more Miguel’s theory about your brain."
"You know, I did fall out of bed that morning. I probably made the whole thing up. So, How’d you reunite with your uncle over there? Is he on your mom’s side or your dad’s?"
"Move it Boys!" Uncle Hetty called from across the road. Jake started running towards him.
"Watch where you’re going Jake!"
Cody called and ran after him. Jake then tripped over a stump and flung in to the air.
"Jake!!" Cody yelled.
"AHLKHDSALKFJKHL" Was all Jake said. Unfortunately there was a well right next to the road right next to the stump. Jake started to fall into it.
"Jake, NOOO. That’s not a pool!" Screamed Cody. He grabbed Jake’s feet but Jake was much to heavy for him. I guess that means Miguel’s theory is right. At the Mousetrap Car workshop, he said that there was no way Cody could kill him because Cody was a weak little person. Wow! Anyway, Cody got pulled off his feet into the well right behind Jake. They both hit their heads on rocks and Cody injured his arm a little. Then for both of them everything went black.
Hetty got an Amish person to help him get Jake and Cody out of the well.
"Uh, buddy. I suggest you keep this little incident a secret. See, if you tell people in the outside world, it will attract reporters and cameras to your little village, so keep it a secret. Here’s $300 for you to keep it secret. Thanks. Oh, and one more thing, if you tell", Hetty took out a gun, "I’m gonna shoot you. So I suggest you keep your trap shut!" Hetty put the gun back into his jacket and loaded Cody and Jake into his car. He took them to the local hospital. ("Local", meaning local to Jake’s house.)
"Look, I was driving by and I saw these kids fall out of a tree around Thomson. It wasn’t the grounds but it was nearby and nobody else was around so I thought I’d better bring them here. Cody’s arm was x-rayed and no fracture was detected. They both were diagnosed with Amnesia and the doctor told there parents not to mention any of it to them because it would be better off forgotten and it would be better if they didn’t know about the tree business. Cody and Jake would not remember anything starting form Friday night. Their Parents filled them in with lies on what happened on those days. A mysterious caller has given this information to me on Tuesday morning before school. Just to let you know, The Uncle Hetty figure was not really Jake’s uncle. I do not know who he was. I do not know why Jake believed him. Uncle Hetty is indeed the same guy who called Cody. Cody didn’t believe him. Maybe Jake was half-asleep or maybe he’s just not as smart as Cody is. I do not think that is the case because according to Miguel Aguado, Cody’s brain is very teeny, tiny and looks like mushy fish. Then again, Jake doesn’t know that two plus two equals fish. Interesting. Very interesting indeed.
