Chapter 19 - TOUR PREPARATION

At night, when Kevin came back, he was very excited. It was his time to take revenge from Jack.

I could have tolerated all your foolishness, but talking to Stella in such a way was intolerable. Consequently, I killed Alizy! Now, Mister Jack, it's your turn!

He said to himself. Then he took a voodoo doll, turned out all the lights, sat down on the floor with candles all around it, lit the candles, set the voodoo doll in front of him, and began chanting. He then took a needle, intending to stick it in the doll's chest, but refrained from doing so.

"No! If I insert it into your chest, it might harm your heart; nevertheless, I don't want you to pass away too soon since I would love to play with you and every time you suffer agony, it will make me feel better. "

The next day was a packing day for all of them.

Jennifer's house:

"Jenny! Wake up, your tea is ready!! " Jennifer's mother called her.

"Mom! Did you pack my bag? I asked you; I have to leave at 12," she asked.

"Yes, my love I have done packing it. I have packed three of your favorite dresses, a few books, and other necessities."

That's all I needed, Mom.

"I am so happy that you made new friends so easily, I was worried about you."

"No mom, you do not have to worry about me, they all are from well-mannered and well-educated family expect one."

Stella's House:

From early morning she was busy in packing. Standing in front of her wardrobe she asked herself, "I have packed few Tank tops, jeans, Denim dresses, and a sheath dress. What else should I pack?"

Her mom entered the room and asked, "Did my baby girl finish her packing?"

"Almost done, but I feel like something is still missing."

"Oh, let me help you then. Did you take the hat with you? And a scarf, sunglasses, a hairdryer, your makeup kit..."

"Yes, mom, everything is in the bag! And yes, I just remembered that I forgot to add a camping bag."

Andy's house:

He was sitting near the book shelf and was searching for a few books to read on an adventurous trip. He grabbed a few books and put them in the bag which was wide open on the bed, put a water bottle, some T-shirts, trousers, a compass, headphones, sunglasses, extra slippers, and a camping bag. And yes, he was done.

Jack's house:

Jack was holding a pillow to her chest as he dozed off in his bed. The sunlight coming through his blinds was disturbing him. He was not a morning person, so getting out of bed was not usually an easy process for him. When the sunbeam struck his face, he moaned.

Jack retrieved his alarm clock from his nightstand and checked the time, 11:00 a.m.

"Why is it already so early?"

He gently started to sit up after setting his clock back down. He placed his hand on her hurting head and said, "Everything is manageable with a little Excedrin."

Knock-knock-knock!!

He opened his eyes and started looking at the ceiling. Someone was continuously knocking, but he was preoccupied with his own thoughts.

"Jack!" It was Andy's sound.

He crawled out of her warm bed and opened the door.

"Were you still sleeping? "Come on, let's go. Everyone is waiting for you downstairs." Andy said hurriedly.

"Go where?" he asked.

"Seriously? Have you packed the bag or not? We are already getting late!"

"No, not yet actually. Give me 5 minutes. I will just come downstairs."

After Andy left, Jack opened his wardrobe, took a rucksack, put in a camping bag, sleeping bags, some sleeping pills, an island map, a T-shirt, and wore a black jacket and went downstairs.

"Let's go!" Jack said.

"Jack! Jack! Jack! Did you take the doll?" Kevin asked cunningly.

"Doll? Ah, no, I just forgot and even though I don't have enough space in my bag for that, it's fine, I will go without that," Jack replied while looking at Jennifer.

"No! how? I mean it is necessary to take that doll with us. Um, do one think, give me your sleeping bag and put that particular doll in your bag", Kevin insisted.

"Okay. Sure", Jack said, confusingly.

They went to the local tourism department in Mexico City called Embarcadero Cuemanco. They entered and went towards the reception.

"We want to visit the dolls Island", Andy asked the receptionist.

"Since the Xochimilco River surrounds the island, sir, you must first arrange transportation because walking is not an option.", the receptionist replied.

"Oh, so you have to book a boat, right?" Andy asked.

"Ha-ha! You seem to be visiting the island for the first time, or you may not have had enough information before travelling there. Let me tell you that the island you will be visiting has a history, and I believe you should be aware of this before travelling there..." he was saying but soon interrupted by Jack.

"Why don't you simply talk about the directions? You should keep your information to yourself. Simply respond to the inquiry! How do we get there?" Jack said irritably.

"You must reserve a "trajinera," which is a private, flat-bottomed, multi-colored boat in the style of a gondola. It's our cultural boat. Food, musical instruments, and other items are welcome." Jack again interrupted him. "Have we asked for more information?"

"I am booking your ride," the receptionist said calmly. "Unfortunately, sir, you have to arrive there very early in the morning because our ride leaves at 7 in the evening, but since this is your first time visiting that location, I do not advise going there at that time."

"Okay, thank you," Andy said.

"Thank you for what? For this useless advice, why is he even concerned about us? Ask him to book a ride for us in the evening!" Jack said.

"Yes, I agree with Jack; going to such an area at night will be great, and we'll go camping too!" Kevin remarked with excitement.
