camping trips? Sleeping in a tent? Maybe Teal wasn't

so off. Maybe this was like the Girl Scouts.

"Now then," Dr. Foreman said, pulling herself

up and stepping back. "Unfortunately. I must

conclude our little talk with a severe warning. Any

signs of insubordination, even nasty looks and

evidence of an attitude, will result in demerits.

Profanity will be punished severely. If any of you get

two demerits in one day, or fall two paints or more

below the minus ten I have generously given you, or

finally do something so terrible that it is off the charts, she will be sent to our Ice Room to chill out, as you

kids like to say these days."

Ice Room? What was that?

She looked around the cement room, once again

as if she could hear my thoughts, "This place is a firstclass hotel room compared to our Ice Room." She

didn't make it sound like a threat either, but it clearly

put the shivers into Teal and Robin as quickly as it did

in me. Not describing it any further left it to each of

our imaginations, and I was sure we each came up

with our worst fears.

"And now, my dears," she said again, sounding

as if we were all at a grand tea party, "it's time for you

to be introduced to your buddies. They are three of my

graduates. three of whom I am very, very proud. They

have earned the right to assist me."
