The Invisible Man
Fawkes, strolling along, hummed quietly to himself. From just watching him walk you'd figure he was a normal, if very cute, guy. Well, you'd be wrong. He's better than that, he's a superhero. At least that's what I think; you draw your own conclusions. I mean, what is the definition of a superhero? A guy that does good stuff for no reward, and usually has strange powers or enhanced abilities. Well, what do ya call invisibility? Normal? I think not.
Anyway, to my point (if there is one) I was watching (Some say stalking, I disagree. I just watch closely.) Darien walk happily down the road and sighed in frustration. Like he's ever gonna notice me. Yah right, only in my dreams. So, he was walking, I was sighing, and Bobby, well, was being Bobby. He was following Darien in his rather pitiful stealth mode. In other words, being plainly visible and generally stupid looking. Now Hobbes does some pretty weird things, but I think stalking his own partner rates pretty high on the weird scale.
Somewhat alarmed by the sight of Hobbes stalking his own partner, I shadowed them. Why would Hobbes tail Darien? Uh-oh… Please no! Testing my own hypothesis, I took a shortcut to get ahead of Fawkes. I waited until he passed my way and looked into his eyes…
Oh, wonderful. Red is definitely not his color. A little while ago he was fine and dandy, now he's Mr. Redeyes! Not knowing what else to do, I followed them. I was tailing them easily when, all of a sudden, I was just following Bobby. Fawkes had done his clear thing, and I had lost him! Obviously, Hobbes had also lost track of his Saran-wrap partner. His having a mini heart attack in the middle of the sidewalk was a slight clue. Knowing Hobbes would be useless in finding Darien, I looked for anything out of the ordinary. Strangely, nothing was wrong. What's with this? Usually when he sees red, he goes nutcase on somebody.
I was about to go back to following Hobbes, who maybe (?) could find Darien for me, when an icy hand covered my mouth. I tried to scream then a man said, "Guess who!" I started in surprise, and then jammed my elbow into his stomach. "Oh, Crap!" he cried as I broke his hold and ran as fast as I could. I heard footsteps behind me, but didn't dare turn to look. On my right I saw an opening and ran in.
Of course, with my good luck, it was a dead end. Hearing footfalls, I spun to look. "Okay," I said, "you've got me trapped. Now what?" A pair of freezing hands gripped my shoulders. "Now we talk." The voice said. "About what?" I asked innocently. "You know what!" He responded. "Why have you been following me?" "I won't answer anything unless…" I stated. "Unless what?" The voice asked. "Unless I can see you!" I responded. "That's it?" He asked. "That's it." I said. "That I can do." The voice said. I began to freeze…
