Hank said. “You got a plan?” “Yes,” Dink said. “If I can move whatever they used to cover the hole, maybe I can run to town and get the police.” “And leave us here?” Josh said. “I don’t know what else we can do,” Dink said. “If we just stay here, they’ll get away with the money. We don’t know how long it will take the police to find us.” “Yeah, maybe they were lying about letting the police know where we are,” Ruth Rose said. “They lied about everything else!” “Okay, kid,” Hank said. “It’s worth a try.” Dink heard Hank position himself. “Okay, step on my knee, then I’ll hoist you up,” Hank said. A minute later, Dink was standing on Hank’s shoulders. Hank held Dink’s hands so he wouldn’t topple off. Dink felt like an acrobat in a circus. “You okay?” Hank asked. Dink licked his lips. “Yeah, only I feel like I’m gonna fall.” “You’re fine. I won’t let you fall. Can you reach the top?” Hank asked. “I’ll let go of one of your hands, all right?”
