The Long Weekend
“Sam started thinking again, and the tears dried up. It was much easier to think without that racket going on. Okay, no weapon apart from the bedside table. Then he remembered his rucksack. Maybe there was something in there he could use. But where was it? He looked round the room, trying to think back to when he'd had it last. He had taken it out of the car with him and then they had gone straight to the games room. So that's where it must be, exactly where it was of no use to anyone.
There was... probably nothing much in there anyway, Sam thought. A pocket dictionary would have been useless. There was his school homework, and considering the circumstances Sam thought his mum would probably write him a note explaining why he hadn't been able to do it. It would go something like, 'My son, Samuel Parker, could not do his homework because he and his new friend, Lloyd, were kidnapped on Friday by a demented madman, and locked up in a room.' And that was pretty much all there was in his rucksack, oh, apart from his pencil case – his pencil case which contained a compass with a very shiny, sharp point.MoreLess
