Henry's POV

"Can I go to sleep?" Charlotte says from the chair beside me.

Ray, Charlotte and I are sitting in chairs watching the huge computer screen in the 'Captain Man' cave. It is 2:30 in the morning and we are watching a surveillance video broadcast of a popular store in Swellview. Recently, there have been many break-ins into the store and by the signature that the person leaves; we can tell it's the same person. Right now, we are waiting until someone, or even something, tries to break in to the store. And to be honest, it's incredibly boring. Almost stab your eyes out boring.

"No," Ray says. He isn't even taking his eyes off the screen. "Eyes on screen," He says.

I look over to see her reaction.

She rolls her eyes, groans and slouches even more down into the seat. She then yawns.

In a reaction to her yawning, I yawn too. I look back at the screen.

"Come on, Ray." I say leaning up and resting my elbows on my knees. "Let her sleep. You and I can do this by ourselves."

It takes Ray a view seconds to respond. He sighs.

"Fine," He says. "Charlotte, you can sleep. Henry, pay more attention to the screen."

I smile and look back at Charlotte.

She looks at me and smiles. "Thank you,"

She stands up and walks to the couch. She lies down.

I turn my head back to the screen.

In order to be here I had to lie to my parents and tell them I was at a friend's house. When they asked which friend I made up a name and said Kyle. They believed me but needed to talk to Kyle's parents. I gave them Ray's number. He pretended to be Fake-Kyle's father. It worked out. I'm not sure what lie Charlotte had to give her parents.


It wasn't until around forty minutes later when action was happening on the screen. A guy in typical robbery get-up was walking around the store. I'm guessing looking for something that was worth stealing. Ray perked up when the guy came across the screen.

"How did he even get in?" He asks aloud.

"Maybe he is a magician." I suggest, half asleep.

Ray shrugs and stands. "Come on, Henry. Let's get this guy."

I stand up and follow him towards the tubes. We chew our gum and blew bubbles. Our uniforms appear on our bodies. I still do not understand how that works. Before standing in the tube area, I poke Charlotte. She halfway wakes up.

"Yes?" She says.

"We're gonna go get the bad guy, Char." I say.

She sleepily nods. "Alright, don't get hurt."

I shake my head and laugh. "I never do."

Then Ray, or Captain Man now, and I leave.


Ray and I don't get back to the 'Captain Man' cave until five. Mainly because it took forever to get the guy and also the police in the morning is crazy slow. We enter through the tubes.

After getting into the cave, I notice the room is lighter and there is the smell of food. I also notice Charlotte at the computer, eating nachos and dancing. She doesn't realize that we have come into the room. She must have headphones in.

Ray looks over at her and laughs a little before entering his room, or such.

I walk over quietly to Charlotte. I slip beside her. I take a nacho and eat it. When she sees my hand, she freaks. She yanks the headphones out of her ears and screams. Then she actually looks over at me and calms.

"Oh, it's you." She says relived. Then she begins hitting my arm with her hands. "Don't sneak up on me like that."

I laugh and try to guard myself. "Sorry. Oh and nice dance moves."

She rolls her eyes then her eyes get huge. She points to my chest. "Whose blood is that? Is that yours? I told you not to get hurt!" She begins looking over me for any noticeable wounds.

I look down and notice there is blood. "No, that's not mine. I think it's the robber's." I touch it with my gloved finger.

"Don't touch it." She says. "You need to change out of that and get it cleaned. It'll stain."

I roll my eyes and start walking away from her. "Okay mom, geez."

I imagine she rolled her eyes at that comment.


"Jasper," I say. "What are you doing?"

Jasper was standing in front of his locker throwing objects behind him.

"I'm cleaning my locker, Henry." He says.

I nod and look down at the pile of stuff behind him. I bend down and move my hand through it.

"Why did you have a dinosaur statue with a bucket hat and bucket purse in your locker?"

Jasper turns around and grabs it and holds it close to his chest. "I almost threw Jerry out!"

Realizing I'm not going to get any normal conversation out of him, I leave Jasper to his business and go to my locker.

While fiddling in my locker I look up just in time to see Charlotte walk through the doors. She had an odd look on her face.

I raise my arm up to wave at her. "Hey Charl-"

"Henry!" She yells my name when she sees me. She runs the distance between us. She seemed frantic.

"Woah, Char, what's wrong?"

"I need to show you something." She pulls her backpack around and begins looking through it.

"What is it?" I ask.

She falls to the ground and puts the backpack on the ground. Her hands are moving around in the backpack fast. I bend down.

"It's this weird text message I got this morning." She answers.

"How weird is it? Like on a scale of 1-10."

"Like an eleven, Henry!" She says causing a few stares. She stops searching for her phone and looks me in the eye. "It's scared me. Okay?"

I go into Protective-Henry mode at the word 'scared'. "Did you check your pockets for your phone?"

She groans as she pulls her phone out of her pocket. "I'm stupid."

"Okay, just show me the text." I walk beside her and lean closer to look at the screen.

"Here," She says handing me the phone.

Sender – BLOCKED NUMBER

Good morning, Charlotte. You looked very lovely in your sleep. And the red shirt you are wearing is beautiful.

I hand her the phone. I'm not really sure how to react. I start pacing.

"Did you read it?" She asks.

I nod. "Yep," I look up at her.

She points to her shirt. Her face was clearly in terrified mode. "I'm wearing a red shirt, Henry!"

I walk back to her. "Did you tell anyone else about this?"

She shakes her head. "No. I knew my parents would just wave it off. I just told you."

She still has that terrified look on her face. I wish I could say something to calm her down, but I'm scared myself. But it's just a text. Right?

I put my hands on the sides of her arms and rub up and down slowly and try to smile at her calmly. "It's okay, Charlotte."

Her facial expression changes from terrified to confuse. "Are trying to make me feel better?"

"Yes." I say still smiling. "Is it working?"

She rolls her eyes and she begins to act like herself. "You're weird." She passes by me to go to her locker.

I follow her.

"After school," I propose. "We can go to Ray and talk to him. Okay?"

She nods without turning back to me.


"When did you get this?" Ray asks Charlotte.

"This morning around 7:30, I was walking to school." She answers.

He nods and hands the phone back to her. "I'm sorry, Charlotte. But before we get any more evidence or anything, I can't really do anything."

She nods. "I understand."

I stand up from my seat on the couch. "What do you mean you can't do anything?"

My outburst startles them.

"Henry, without the person doing anything physical to her, we just can't do anything."

"Can't you trace the number somehow? Don't you have a crazy, electronic thing that can track blocked numbers?!"

"Henry, it's okay." Charlotte says. She was looking at me confused.

"No, it is not!" I say pointing at her. "What are we supposed to wait for? The guy to attack you or, uh, try to eat you? Maybe he'll, uh kidnap you, attack and eat you. Or-"

"Henry!" Ray yells my name. I look at him. "Go eat a sandwich."

"I don't want a-"

"Go eat a sandwich!"

I groan and turn around to go get myself a sandwich.


"Henry,"

My name is being called.

"What?" I ask before taking another bite from my turkey sandwich.

It was Ray who sat beside me on the Captain Man couch. Charlotte had gone home a couple minutes ago.

"Why did you blow up like that earlier?" He asks me.

I shrug putting the sandwich down. "I don't know. I'm worried about Charlotte."

He nods. "You do know this could be a harmless prank. Right?"

"Well yeah." I nod. "But what if it isn't?"

Ray shrugs like he is really at a loss for words which he isn't. "If it isn't a prank, then Charlotte is going to need someone to protect her. Right?"

I nod. "Yeah,"

"And she's going to need a good protector. Not someone who will blow up randomly and scare her."

Finally, I see where he is going with this. I nod again.

"I understand, Ray." I shrug. "I just won't want her to end up hurt or even hating me because I couldn't protect her. You know?"

Ray nods. "Yeah," He stands up and pats my shoulder. "But you'll do great! Unless something very crazy happens, like the guy randomly pops up at school and you guys are totally caught off guard." He trails off laughing. "Now that'd be crazy."

"Ray, that's not exactly helping, you know." I say.

He waves me off and goes into his room, or whatever that is.


There is a noise. I find it very familiar but I'm quite sure what it is. I choose to ignore it.

There is a silence.

The noise is back and seems louder.

I rise up from my bed and look around my room. My eyes are squinted. It's dark in my room but that's typical. It is night time and I'm trying to sleep. I look towards my nightstand and realize the noise is coming from my phone. I groan and pick it up.

I flip it over and look at the call ID. Charlotte is calling…at 2:30 in the morning! Geez, woman!

I press the green button and put the phone to my ear.

"Charlotte?" I ask the sleep hasn't left my voice.

"Henry, I hear something outside of my window." She says.

"Are you sure it's not just a tree or something?" I ask laying back down. Half of my brain was asleep and the other half on edge. What if someone was out her window? Nope, no. I need to be calm so I don't scared Charlotte.

"No," She says. I hear moving on her end. She is probably looking out the window. "I can't see anything out the window but I know something is there."

"Have you tried going to sleep?" I ask. "Because I heard that it is a beautiful thing, Charlotte. You'd like it."

"Oh right!" She says. "I'm sorry for waking you up. But seriously."

I sigh. "It's okay. How about we uh," I think. "I'll talk to you until you aren't scared and you can go to sleep. Is that good?"

She's silent for a minute and I think she went to sleep. "Yeah, that's okay."

"Okay, cool." I roll over on my stomach and try to keep the phone to my ear. "Do you like dogs?"

She laughs a little. "Yeah, kind of." She answers. "What about you?"

"Eh, they are okay. I'm actually more of a cat person, really."

"Interesting," She says back. "I never knew that."

"Well you learn something new every day." I say.

She laughs again but then she's quiet.

"What about food?" I ask.

"You already know my favorite food." She says.

"People change on a daily bases, girl." I say. "I know my favorite food isn't the same as my favorite food yesterday."

"Really?"

"Yeah, my favorite is now sushi."

"Your favorite was sushi yesterday, too."

"Maybe it's a different type of sushi."

She laughs again.


The thing that wakes me up in time to get dressed for school is the light in my bedroom. Apparently Piper has been coming in my room for the past ten minutes trying to wake me up.

I rise up and rub my eyes. I look back at my pillow and see my phone. The screen was black so I double tap it. The screen lights up and I see that I am talking to someone. And that someone was Charlotte. I guess we both fell asleep talking to each other.

Thinking she might possibly be up, I put the phone to my ear.

"Charlotte?"

I hear moving on her end. The phone sounds like it was picked up. "Hey," Her voice was full of sleep.

I laugh. "Seems like we fell asleep,"

She laughs too. "I don't even remember the last thing we spoke about."

"I think it had to do with pink dogs and plastic ducks."

"Maybe," She says. "Oh and Henry,"

I push the covers off and get out of the bed. "Yeah?"

"Thanks for talking to me."

I smile, even if she couldn't see me. "Anything for you, Charlotte."

"See you at school." She says and ends the call.
