The Summer Camp, chapter four
The Treasure Hunt, part I
On Saturday, the last weekend of our stay at the summer camp, the Big Treasure Hunt would take place. The Hunt would decide which one of the competing teams that would win the overall competition. Our team, "the Pine" and our enemies, "the Birch" had competed during the two weeks at the camp. We had scored points in different races and competitions such as canoe-races, swimming, cross-country running and quiz-games. Each team had also scored points by playing pranks on the opposition, as when we kidnapped their councilor, Linda, or when they hi-jacked our bus. We had also stolen the team-mascots, one time each.
The score was fairly even when the treasure-hunt was about to start. The camp-councilors would not compete this day, they would act as referees. The younger kids at the camp also had a treasure-hunt the same day, but they competed against each other's teams. We all gathered in the dining hall for final instructions. All of us were dressed about the same. We had jeans or shorts or track-suit pants and the two teams had their own special t-shirts or sweatshirts with the team-logo on them. We had gray and the enemies black. Maria and Helen, our closest friends at camp, had customized their outfits a bit. Both girls wore cut-off Levi's and had cut their gray sweatshirts so they more resembled sleeve-less tops. Most of us had sneakers without socks, but Helen was barefoot, she said:
-If I get taken prisoner, they take off my shoes anyway and hide them, I can as well go without them. Both girls had their hair in pigtails and wore bandanas as headbands. They only had to put on camouflage-paint on their faces to look like very young, but cute guerrillas.
Our enemies dressed in a similar way. They wore their team's black shirts and most of them had red headbands or scarves. Our special enemies since our successful kidnapping the other night, Victoria and Lisa, both had their hair in braids, wore their t-shirts knotted below their breasts and had faded jeans and sneakers. They stared at us with hateful eyes, remembering how we had humiliated them by leaving them tied to the flag-pole. We had heard rumours that both girls had been severely mocked by their friends after the kidnapping incident.
Our councilors started by telling us the rules of the hunt. We would be given a list of items to collect, some where similar for both teams, and some were "specials" for just one team. Collected items would be brought back to our cabins and in the evening the councilors would check the lists and give points. Extra points would be given if a "special" item would be stolen from the enemy. Some of the items would contain clues on where to find the "Big Treasure". If a team managed to collect enough items with clues, they would be able to find the treasure. The team finding the treasure would be given ten extra points. Almost anything would be allowed, but no violence against the enemy. We would be allowed to take enemies as prisoners and steal any items they had, but prisoners would have to be released within "reasonable time". Noone said how long that was to be for!
We were given our lists, and the hunt was on! We went to our cabin to go over the list. There were an enormous amount of general items such as a fork from the dining hall, a pennant from one of the sailing-boats, a special flower and such things. Special items were a bit more strange, a piece of underwear belonging to Mrs. D. the lady who managed the kitchen, one of the two chandeliers from the small chapel and other more or less strange items. We decided we had to go in pairs to have time to collect everything. I went with Helen, Joe with Maria. We carried knapsacks with useful items, some rope, some torn pieces of bedsheets for gags, pocketknives and other stuff to use on enemies we might take as prisoners.
Helen and I took a path out in the woods to collect things from some of the old abandoned houses a couple of kilometers out. We didn't see any enemies as we walked away from the camp. We chatted happily as we walked through the big forest. I asked Helen how she coped walking barefoot in the woods, but she said that she always did that at home. This reminded me of our summer-house and how we used to spend the days there.
As we came to the first abandoned old house we soon found some of the items on the list. We also found one of the "specials", a small box hidden there by the councilors. Inside was a piece of paper with parts of a sentence on it. Our first clue to the Big Treasure"! As we were about to leave a triumphant voice was heard outside the house:
-Well two dirty enemies all alone in the woods!
It was Victoria and Lisa together with two of the boys from their cabin. The boys carried home-made wooden sticks and looked rather grim. All we could do was surrender. We walked out with our hands in the air and soon they had tied our hands behind us. Lisa said:
-Take off his shoes, we're going to have some fun with these two.
-Little Miss Barefoot is already shoe-less, so I guess they are ready for some fun.
They tied our arms very tight and walked us over to two trees, growing about two metres apart. We were placed face-down on the ground and soon our bare feet were tied tightly and connected to our hands. They tied a long rope to one of the tree-trunks and then connected it to my feet. From there they tied it to Helen's feet and at last to the other tree. We were completely helpless and could not move our feet at all. They started to tickle us and both Victoria and Lisa had a great time paying us back for what we had done to them. After what seemed like forever, they stopped, gagged us good with big rags in our mouths, covered with tightly tied bandanas.
-Have a nice time, we'll see you tonight, they mocked as they walked away, leaving us on the ground completely immobile.
Will be continued after the weekend
