Anya quickly showed Mr. Johnson "Tom's" arm. "Your right Anya it's broken. Where did this happen?" There was a quick pause and Phantom said that he doesn't remember, and that he just woke up in the woods.
With that said, Mr. Johnson took Phantom to the town's hospital. The doctors said that his arm would be fine in about six months or so. Anya saw "Tom's" face drop. "You know Tom," Mr. Johnson started, "if you have no place to go you can stay with us." Phantom didn't like the idea of staying in a small town on a farm with people he doesn't know. I don't have time for this I need to find a way back home. Thought Phantom. He already asked them on the way to the hospital if they knew of something that could teleport someone somewhere. Anya laughed when he asked that and joked about that the pain is probably getting to him. Mr. Johnson said that there is a science organization on the far edge of the town. Anya added that nobody can get in without getting caught, and that they may use you on an experiment.
While Phantom was thinking he just noticed that Anya was writing something on his cast. "What are you doing?" asked Phantom. "I'm writing my name on it. That's what friends do on other friends casts," Anya said with a smile. Phantom noticed that she said 'friend' which made him shiver a bit.
The ride back to the Johnson's farm was quiet, until Phantom said that he would like to stay just until his arm is better. Phantom was also hoping that he could check out that science organization place. As soon as they got to the house Mr. Johnson introduced Phantom to Mrs. Johnson. She was younger than Mr. Johnson but had gray/brown hair. Mr. Johnson finally took off his hat; he had blond colored hair that needed a little trim.
Mrs. Johnson was open to the idea of Tom staying in the house. "It'll be like having a son of our own," she said while taking out dinner out of the oven. They already showed him around the house (and his soon-to-be room). And now they were having dinner. Anya also joined them. Phantom was looking at his plate at the thing that was on it. "Try it Tom," Anya said, "it's meat loaf." He poked at it with his fork, "are you sure this is edible?" Anya took her fork and cut a piece of his dinner and shoved it in his mouth. "Eat it!"
The rest of the night they talked and played a game of cards. After playing one game of cards, Anya started a game of Domino Hearts with Tom. And Anya won. (By doing tricks) "Well I have to get going. See you later Tom!" said Anya. Mr. Johnson went to take Anya home, and Mrs. Johnson told Tom that his bed was ready if he wants to go to bed. Phantom shrugged and went up stairs. "Good night Tom," Mrs. Johnson said, "Tom you know that if you're going to live here then you will have to go to school and do chores, right?"
Phantom didn't hear that last part. He went right up to his room and laid on the bed and just started planning how he would get out of there. His thoughts eventually dimmed while he found himself drifting off to sleep.
