Chapter 9

••••••••••••

Slivers of morning sunlight peaked through Dib's window. It had been just one day since that odd meeting with Zeg had occurred… Had he really been sleepwalking that whole time? It was hard to tell- everything that he had supposedly dreamed seemed so real, but everything Zeg said had made since. Thoughts swarmed through Dib's head like a hive of angry bees. Managing to push his thoughts away momentarily, he crawled out of his bed and stretched. He wished he could just stay where he was and think everything out in a logical manner, but today was a school day, and if he were late, he'd have to go to detention. Detention was a horrible thing at Skool. You were forced to clean the dishes until there wasn't a spot of vile muck to be seen.

Dib walked downstairs and looked at the clock; he had five minutes until the bus got here- just enough time to eat breakfast. He sat down at the kitchen table and started to eat some leftovers, but the throbbing pain in his head stopped him. Dib moaned- he had completely forgotten the huge bump on his head that he had obtained last night. Maybe his dad had some painkillers in the bathroom. He got up from the table slowly, ignoring the cold toast at the table; wasn't really hungry anyways. Dib headed towards the upstairs bathroom, touching his head gingerly. He reached the bathroom and opened up the medicine cabinet, reaching for a bottle of aspirin. They would be right behind the camera- wait. Where was the camera? It had been on his bedside the night before, butit hadn't been therethis morning.Oh right, he had taken it out last night, and now that he thought about it, he recalled something falling out of his pocket... But then again, Zeg had said he had been sleepwalking… Butif he had been sleepwalking, the camera would have been on hisbed.The aching of his head seemed to fade away as his mind was soon again seeping with thoughts.
