Chapter 9
Branch and his troupe had finally made it to Chef's trailer.
Branch said as they hid behind a nearby rock, "They must be inside."
Wani asked, "But, how are we gonna get in?"
Tresillo pointed out an unlocked window, "How about we go through there?"
Branch said, "Great idea! But, how can we get in without Chef knowing we're here?"
When the front door suddenly opened, they all ducked their heads so they couldn't be seen.
Chef was leaving to grab some more firewood, food, and fresh water, which meant that she wouldn't be able to catch the troupe if they went inside.
***
Meanwhile, inside the trailer, the leaders could clearly see that Trollex couldn't last much longer without water; His skin was beginning to dry up and he started coughing dry coughs.
The other leaders were frantic about what they could do. They knew that it was only a matter of time before Trollex was 'sleeping with the fishes.'
But just then, Branch and his rescue troupe were able to open the window of their room and get in.
Poppy shouted, "Branch!"
Branch shouted, "Poppy!"
Branch then went to share a hug with Poppy through the cage.
Prince D and Cooper ran towards their parents, "Mom! Dad!"
Their parents were relieved to see their sons alright.
Hickory then asked, "Is everyone ok?"
Poppy then cut the tender moment short by saying, "Don't worry about the rest of us, but Chef placed Trollex in that heated tank over there!"
Poppy pointed to the tank, "You have to hurry and help him! He needs water!"
The troupe immediately went over to the tank to save their friend.
Branch was able to pick the lock on the tank's lid, and Biggie unplugged the heat lamp.
The troupe immediately went into the tank to save Trollex before it was too late.
Prince D lifted Trollex a little bit while the others scuffled through their bags for their water.
Hickory said, "Don't worry, Trollex. It'll be ok."
Once they got their water out, one by one, they poured all they had on the dry king's skin.
As he got soaked, his body began to revitalize up to the point where he looked good as new.
Trollex happily said, "I'm ok! Thank you all!"
Everyone cheered.
Branch then said, "Now, let's hurry and get the rest of you out before Chef returns."
But, before they even had a chance to start picking the locks to the other cages, they were suddenly caught by nets and placed in more cages.
Chef had returned early and had found out about their rescue attempt.
She said, "How wonderful of you all to join us."
