Sure enough, the gang was out in the garden, soaking out the effects of their felicity. Harry watched from the window as Elektra led her pack out. There was a football on the grass and Toby kicked it into a bush. Tyler followed it to get it back and the girly girls seceded from the group to do their own stuff.

Harry watched and thought about whether he should try and join them. But he watched gradually as everyone started to slow their actions. Elektra held on to her head and bent over a bit. Tee suddenly passed out on the grass. Everyone else didn't seem surprised at this.

"See I told her she shouldn't have taken any," said Elektra. "Why did you even have to tell her about it?" She asked Johnny. "It happens every damn time. Quick, help her up."

"I can't carry her," said Lily. "I feel a bit faint myself."

"Rick, you're the only other strong guy here, we'll carry her in. Toby, Frank, Tyler, keep a look out in case one of the care workers see us." Elektra bent down to grab Tee's arms while Rick lifted her legs.

Tyler, Frank and Toby went to the door, casually trying to walk in.

Now Harry was really worried. He had just seen Tee faint, and according to Elektra, this wasn't the first time. He went downstairs to meet them and saw Tee's limp body being carried by Elektra and Rick.

"What's wrong with Tee?"

"Harry, go to your room. We'll play with you later."

Harry let the last sentence linger on him. Rick said "We'll play with you later," and if this was a possibility, then Harry could find out what was happening. Harry obediently went back to his room and waited. He talked to Jeff.

"Does Jeff think that they're doing something bad?" He made Jeff nod. "And does Jeff think I should tell Tracy or just find out what it is myself?" Jeff didn't answer.


A few days later, Harry went back to the attic while everyone was in there. They were doing their usual thing, but this time they were throwing cushions around. Tyler was just saying the worst jokes ever and Frank was weirdly trying to chat up Elektra.

Harry heard Tee say, "Can I have another one? Because I was an original member of SETA last year."

"No," said Elektra. "I think we shouldn't let you even be a member of SETA anymore. You always pass out, and I saw you getting sick one night."

"But I want one. If you want to see me more happy, then you'd help me."

"No, Tee," said Johnny. "Just go back to crazy dancing."

"Uh guys, I have an announcement to make," said Elektra. "We're running out of supplies, so we have to make do with our last ones. So I'm gonna get a few drinks for us soon. Have one or the other."

Harry listened to them carefully.

Toby said, "But how are we gonna get through the week?"

"I told you," said Elektra. "I can get some drinks for us. Just continue what we're doing and hope that no one notices."

Everyone carried on what they were doing while Harry felt so fed up. They were wasting away, not caring about anyone else, leaving him out of any activity. They were being unfriendly because of Elektra's plans.

Harry wanted to run downstairs and tell Tracy but something compelled him not to. Why not join everyone in this attic scene? There was something about them that prevented Harry from joining in, but he didn't know what it was.

Harry went down to look for Gus, who was in the living room.

"Gus, why does everyone want to be with Elektra?"

"Elektra tried to make herself popular, so she does something to make everyone be her friend. She's making everyone hang out with her, to make everyone be her friend. she's making this house a lot quieter than it was before, and that's not normal. We should see what's making everyone hang out with her to make everything back the way it was. I was looking through my notes, and read that everyone's behaviour has been changing at dinner, lunch or any other activity where everyone is together."

"So," said Harry. "Does that mean you'll help me stop them from staying all day in the attic?"

"Yes," said Gus. "But not today. We can start on Wednesday, since they started to change on that day. I like to keep things specific like that."

"and should we tell Tracy about it?"

"My other notes tell me that an adult shouldn't be relied on from the beginning. We have to find out what we know, and when the time is right, we can tell Tracy, Mike and Gina. Tracy is not trustworthy to tell; Mike and Gina have to be informed."

"OK," said Harry, and went back to his room.

He looked out of the window, waiting for everyone to leave. The situations scared him. The look on the children's faces up in the attic was one he didn't recognise...
