Target: Vladimir Tod

I wave to Henry and walk down his front steps. A cool breeze hits my face in the warm summer air. It's been a week since school ended, and I haven't found trouble yet. Or, more importantly, trouble hasn't found me.

Although, for the past couple weeks, I've had the feeling that someone's been watching me. I walk pass the park and stop. A noise came from the bushes. There's that feeling again.

My heart starts racing; it'll burst from my chest any minute now. I know there's someone watching me, I can feel it. Do I want to look and see who's been stalking me? What if it's D'Ablo, wanting to kill me for good this time? It couldn't be, there's more than one person… unless he has some new cronies with him.

I turn to walk away, and fog blocks my vision. Wait… fog? It's sunny out here! The gray smoke chokes me, and the world goes black.
