CHAPTER 4: 43 SLEEPLESS DAYS
"Calvin," Hobbes said in a low voice.
"We've been here for 43 days."
"You mean we have not slept for 43 days?" Calvin asked, his voice was hoarse.
"Yeah. That too. Let's go back to the hotel." Hobbes suggested.
"No! They'll kill us! I…." Calvin fainted.
"Calvin!" Hobbes said, holding Calvin.
"Everything's going to be okay."
Just then, Calvin's alter egos appeared in front of Hobbes.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Hobbes screamed. Calvin's alter egos laughed hysterically.
"Spacemen Spiff, Tracer Bullet, and Stupendous man!" Hobbes said.
"What are you doing giving me a heart attack?"
"Boy, you need to stop going to la-la land, pally." Tracer Bullet said.
"You think that we don't exist, but we do exist!"
"Then how come you guys never show up?" Hobbes asked.
"We're in Calvin's body." Spaceman Spiff explained.
"Every time when Calvin's in a sticky situation, or on a mission, one of us has to go to Calvin's brain and tell him that it's time to be one of us."
"Calvin has fainted." Hobbes said.
"We know." Stupendous man said.
"When Calvin fainted, that's when we came out of Calvin's body. We're going to help him."
Tracer Bullet got out the first aid kit. He checked Calvin's pulse.
"No pulse." Tracer Bullet said.
"He's not breathing either, but I can get him up and going."
"I just don't understand it." Hobbes said holding Calvin in his arms.
"Why did he faint?"
Tracer Bullet got out a can of beans and rice.
"Did Calvin find this in a lake, or did a friend find it in the dumpster." Tracer Bullet said glaring at Hobbes.
Hobbes laughed nervously.
"With stupendous power of health, I can wake Calvin up." Stupendous man said.
Stupendous man healed Calvin. When Calvin woke up, Calvin's alter egos disappeared and went into Calvin's body.
"What happened?" Calvin asked.
"Your alter egos came to life." Hobbes replied.
Calvin laughed.
"Good one Hobbes." Calvin said.
"Now let's get out of here."
"Hey, kid!" Said a familiar voice.
"It's the Police!" Calvin said.
"Let's get out of here!" But there was no escape.
