The boys quickly made their way through the grocery store for their first quick meal. Aaron had grabbed a premade party sub that was left in the deli section, a family-size bag of chips, and two-liter bottle of cola. Peter's meal consisted a half dozen packages of cookies and a few pints of chocolate milk. "Don't eat anything here," Aaron advised his friend. "Wait until we're back in to hideout, that storage room. We don't want to make a mess out here or else people will think something is up when they come back."
Back in their hideout, the boys gorged themselves while lying on their sleeping bags on the dusty floor. They ate happily in silence, really enjoying food for what seemed like the first time ever.
"So...everyone's gone for a week, right?"
Aaron swallowed a mouthful of sandwich. "Yep. That's what my cousin said."
Peter took a swig of his chocolate milk, using the back of his hand to wipe off the extra from his upper lip. "...and then what?"
"What do you mean?"
"What do we do then? When the staff is back? Go home?"
Aaron shook his head. His lengthy blonde hair danced around. "Nope. No way I'm going back. Look, I think we can still hide out in this place for a while. We'll just have to make sure we stay in here during the daytime and sneak out at night. If we're smart about this, they'll never find us!"
Peter smiled and nodded excitedly. "Yeah! If anything looks wrong, they'll just think it's rats. Some fat rats!"
Both boys laughed and finished their food. Aaron gave his bloated midsection a pat. Skinny as he was, he was unable to devour everything he grabbed. Some of his chips and soda remained. Peter, on the other hand, managed to choke down all the sweets he grabbed, leaving his chubby tummy noticeably bloated.
The older boy laid back down onto his sleeping bag. "Alright. I'm going to take a nap before Round 2. If you grab anything else to eat, you know the drill. Bring it here." With that, Aaron rolled onto his left side. An almighty belch exploded from him, and Peter giggled.
