Row's phone rang, it woke all of them up on the next day, at 4am. It was Gargamel.
"Gargamel?. Hello. I thought you don't have a phone?." Row thought
"Of course not. Look uhm....you don't need to know how I know your number but.....h.....ha.....ho.....how do I say this uhm....." Gargamel said in a confusing tone
"This is awkward." Row said
"Yes it is I mean....I mean....URGH!!." Gargamel said, then spit loud
"Hey!. You are scaring me man. What is it?." Row w9ndered
"Look uhm....Row. Remember the truck we stole, and we are gonna get paid. It will happen. We will soon have the money. Please meet me again at that compound in...Kiryas Joel again. Oh...and bring the kids too. I uhh hehe...have a surprise for all of us. You are all gonna like it." Gargamel explained
"You sure about this Gargamel?. The kids?." Row asked again
"Trust me. I am doing you a big favor." Gargamel said
Row then agreed; "Fine. I. I guess it is nice that you are changing....I guess. Wait for us there." Row then closed the call
"What did he say?." Xac asked after going out of the bathroom
"We need to meet him in the compound. We'll go by bus." Row said
"Uhm...Row....I am not sure I want to go to him....." Grover doubt in fear and disappointment of Gargamel
"Well neither do I but...he is your family, and we must be there for him." Row said
"He was never there for me!. He is the most evilest person I have ever met." Grover argued
"He is your family Grover, still. Look Grover. I believe he can change ok. Gargamel may be a selfish idiot, but he is still a Zondar, you are a Zondar, Grover Zondar. This day may be a perfect example of him changing. Can I trust you to apologize to him if he does?." Row asked for Grover's acceptance later on
Grover moaned and inhaled; "Ugh!. Fine."
"That is more like it." Row looked around. "Xac where is Salala?."
"I am right here." Salala revealed himself, hiding in the wardrobe, in agony
"Salala. Please I....." Row begegd for forgiveness
"IT'S NOT FAIR!!. WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO US?!." Salala angered, starting to tear out
"Salala. There are a lot of things you don't understand. I am sorry you have to be out into this." Row apologized
"BUT. BUT....HUHUHUHU. BUT KEEPING US AWAY IS SUCH A BAD THING ROW!!. WHY WOULD YOU WANT US TO BE AWAY FROM EACH OTHER?!." Salala cried out
Row spoken psychologically again; "Guys look I.....I am a deluded man. I am a horrible man. I am not a perfect man. I. I make mistakes. Maybe you think this is a mistake. But. But. But I am doing this because it is the right thing to do. Guys. Don't be mistaken. You guys are still family. You can meet each other again someday but........now you are all in big danger.....and the only way to escape that danger is to run away."
"BUT I DON'T WANT O RUN AWAY!!!." Salala cried and got out of the wardrobe with agony. "THIS....THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT GROVER!!. THIS IS ALL GARGAMEL'S FAULT!!!!. WHY CAN'T WE JUST BE ONE FAMILY AND BE HAPPY LIKE OTHER KIDS DO. HUHUHUHUHUHUAHHHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. WWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYY????!!!."
Xac felt for him. Xac pat his shoulder and said; "I am sorry brother but......Row is right.........we have no choice.....none of this is good....but the only way...to keep the family strong....is.....is to move on from this...this mess. Please Salala.....don't take this the wrong way........I still believe the Zondars have a chance." Salala still cried, but nonetheless Xac held his hands. "I think we can start going." Salala was crying and being silent and empty the whole time
