Chapter Seven

Danny went intangible and went through the floor into the kitchen. Dash and Teresa had just entered, and Jake and Alana were sitting at the kitchen table. Jake looked uninterested by the concept of a play about a Meat Monster, and Alana had a look on her face that said "Make it Stop!"

This isn't what surprised Danny. It was the fact that Katie entered the room through the basement door holding some costumes. How did she do that? Danny thought silently to himself.

Dash and Teresa showed their surprise by giving eachother astonished glances then removing all traces of their reaction from there faces just as Katie set down a green jumpsuit on the table.

Jake gave Katie a frustrated look, "The TV must be broken, because on news reports it seems to me that Inviso-Bill had a black-and white labsuit on."

Katie didn't seem to notice the hostility in her brother's voice as she quickly rescanned the script. "OK. Teresa is in charge of casting, since she used to be an actor. Jake and I are in charge of directing, because I wrote it and Jake isn't a people person. Alana, you're in charge of the makeup and hair dye, since your obsessed with that."

By now, Danny was getting bored from the lack of information he was currently getting and promptly flew through the kitchen wall and headed for his bedroom.

Sam couldn't believe that the words had come out of her mouth, Danny: Her boyfriend? And to a reporter no less!

Harriet wore an expression that said "This is the story of the century" but before she could actually say it, Danny rushed into the room, out of breath.

Harriet seized the opportunity and said in a mocking voice, "I'll leave the lovebirds alone now."

As soon as the words left her mouth, Danny and Sam (out of force of habit) said in usion "We're not love birds!"

It was Harriet's turn to look surprised and after a minute said, "According to Sam, you're her boyfriend."

Danny could feel his face burning and tried to come up with and witty comeback, but was out of luck.

"Anyway, since tommorow's Saturday, you'll have to come with me to the news station when I do the "Saturday Sweep of the Week" tommorow morning." Harriet brought up in a hurry, frightened by the glare Sam was giving her. "You might actually be on it. The top story is about your sister..."

Danny didn't bother to hear the rest, because those words filled his heart with dread.
