The Challenge
Hey. Wait up!
Those familiar words always found their way out of the mouth of Travis Ketchum, younger brother and perpetual nuisance to Tommy Ketchum or, as his buddies liked to call him, TK.
Come on, guys. Let’s go,
Tommy kept encouraging the usual gang in an attempt to lose Travis.
Unfortunately, his little brother was also his responsibility. Mom would always force Tommy to just take him along
whenever TK had an adventure planned.
TK fumed as he walked along Clemens Drive today, remembering how the little eight-year-old worm managed to wiggle his way into his older brother’s plans for the day.
Tommy, what do you have going on today?
Mom had asked from the living room as TK munched on his breakfast, a toaster pastry and a banana. I’ve got some errands to run.
I don’t know, Mom. I’ll probably just head over to Josh’s house and play some catch or something,
he said, washing a mouthful of blueberry goodness down with a gulp of orange juice.
He wiped some icing from his lips and paused for a second, knowing what would come next.
Well, I was hoping that Travis could tag along with you for a few hours while I go get mine and Sarah’s hair done,
she said as she helped TK’s four-year-old sister with her shoes before giving her a kiss and gathering her things to go. Oh, and get him some cereal and a banana before you guys head out.
Aww, c’mon, Mom,
Tommy replied. I was hoping for a Travis-free day.
His younger brother bolted around the corner from the living room, excitement on his face.
What are we gonna do today?
Travis teased his brother as TK angrily grabbed a bowl from the cabinet and began to pour his brother’s breakfast.
You better not get in the way!
TK said, grabbing a wadded up paper towel and pegging Travis in the head.
Before the boys could finish their meal, Mom streaked by, snatching her purse off the table and nudging Sarah along. She headed toward the door. We’ll be back early afternoon, Tommy. Be sure you guys eat some lunch.
Yeah, Mom, I know.
Sarah said good-bye in her usual manner, sticking her tongue out at her brothers and making sure she was out of arm’s reach.
TK had planned on heading to Josh McKenzie’s house this morning, but a boring game of catch was not on the agenda. He and his buddy, who was a natural athlete despite his round form—and who boasted the ability to down three big bacon burgers, a large chili cheese fries, and a monstrous piece of chocolate cream pie in just one sitting—had other things on their minds. Josh, a hero to most boys in the seventh grade at Hoover Middle School because of these two skills, could only think of one thing and he wouldn’t have fun until it was resolved.
Ever since Sunday afternoon, Josh had been whining about his lucky baseball bat, Ol’ Blue, as TK had named his friend’s Louisville Slugger. It had been handed down to Josh by his older brother, who had gotten it from their oldest brother. Today, a covert mission to get it back was on the agenda.
TK and his friends, also known as The Gang,
had stopped by Fillmore Park last Sunday for a dip in the river after a little baseball practice. Bart Woods took advantage and snatched the bat in hopes of keeping Josh from crushing the ball in the big game on Saturday.
The boys’ baseball team, the Wolves, had their toughest challenge of the season in just three days. The first place, and much hated, Marauders, Bart’s team,
