The next day, I decided to go to Tucker's house. He said it was fine, and he was ready for any guests, so I figured it would be the perfect time to see an old friend. Besides, if he was studying just for me, and finding Danny, I should show some appreciation, and thank him. Once I arrived at his house, I walked up to the door nervously, and knocked. I was afraid he wasn't going to like the way I had turned out or something.

I heard footsteps, and the lock click, and Tucker opened up the door. Tucker looked pretty much like he did when he was a kid. He still wore a beret, only it was blue now, and he wore blue jeans, and a green shirt.

"Hey Sam," he greeted me, and motioned me to come into his house. I walked in slowly, and I felt Tucker watching me, and looking me over. It was uncomfortable at first, but then I just tried to forget about it.

"So, how have you been?" He asked me, trying to make me feel more welcome.

"Fine, we just talked on the phone you know."

"I know that, I was just asking again. I will be right back. I need to go get dinner started."
"All right."
"You can just make yourself comfortable in the living room," he said, pointing in the direction of another room. I went in there, and noticed a tall wooden bookshelf. I sat down in a chair that was in front of it, and began to look at the books. There were a lot of books about humans and the way they live. Then something that caught my eyes, was a row of books on getting your college degree in doctoring, and a whole bunch of doctor schoolbooks. Why did he have these, if he was training to become a detective, someone who could help me find Danny? There was something weird about that. There wasn't anything on these shelves about any sort of work with police, detectives, or anything that he was talking about. I took one of the doctor's books from off the shelf, and looked in it, where he had papers shoved in it. There was schoolwork in there from college. He was lying to me the whole time!

"Hey Tucker, can I use the bathroom?" I called out.

"Yeah, down the left hallway!"

I got up and looked down there to find any hints of him hiding Danny. Maybe he was hiding Danny somewhere. For some reason though, I didn't trust him anymore. I went down the other hallway too, but didn't notice anything. There wasn't anything leading to a basement, and there wasn't any locked doors as far as I knew. I went back to the living room, and Tucker was standing there.

"What were you doing down the other hall?" he asked suspiciously.

"I went down the wrong hall, I'm sorry."

"No problem," he sighed.

"Look Tucker, I don't feel to good, I am going to head home."

"All right, if you want to."

I just got up and left without even saying bye. When I got home, I headed straight for my computer again. Tucker had made a mistake from inviting me there, because I knew he was hiding something. I didn't know what I was looking for next, but I knew there had to be something out there that would help me find my lost friend. Tucker had lied to me, and he didn't want me down that hallway. I didn't get on the computer, instead, I had to sneak into his house…

Ok, short, yeah, next one will be longer though, I promise! And more interesting!
