"What if Alex isn't really dead?" Qaasim said.

"Qaasim, the FBI confirmed that he is no where to be found." I said, a little upset.

"What if the kidnapper took Alex to another country? And your late mother is trying to help you get to Alex before something bad happens." Qaasim finished.

"Like what?" Rosalina asked.

"I don't know, but if we can find Alex, we can arrest the kidnapper." Qaasim said.

"Okay, since we have to wait for Nat to sleep, let's continue this tomorrow." Rosalina said.

"Wait," I said, before Rosalina left. "I wasn't lying about the song." She came to the piano with me.

"Dont judge it. I was really hungry." I said.

Cut up the banana, put it in the blender,
And shake it all up, shake it all up

Cut up the banana, put it in the blender,
And shake it all up, shake it all up

You got a banana smoothie (banana smoothie)
You got a banana smoothie (banana smoothie)

Drink up, taste it, swallow it

Get up, get on top of it
Feels right, aloha and Mahalo...

Stay straight, right now it is

Have faith, getting out of it
Feels right, aloha and Mahalo...

Die high, bird is flying now
See straight, seems OK now
Feels right, aloha and Mahalo

Cut up the banana, put it in the blender,
And shake it all up, shake it all up

Cut up the banana, put it in the blender,
And shake it all up, shake it all up

"If you wanted food, just ask." She said, giggling.

"I said don't laugh," I said, holding back laughter.

"No you said don't judge." Rosalina said. We both started laughing. Then, there was a flash.

"come," said my mom, holding out her hand to me. I took it and she lead me to the same house I've been to for a while now.

"당신은 이 문제에 대해 책임 져야 하지 않습니다. 냇 당신을 막을 것입니다. 알아요.

(dangsin-eun i munjee daehae chaeg-im jyeoya haji anhseubnida. naes dangsin-eul mag-eul geos-ibnida. al-ayo). " Alex said.

" 미국 바보 . 당신은 어린 소년 이 날 막을 수 있다고 생각 ? 저는 모든 것에서 그를 더 나은 입니다. 방법 당신의 아웃 되면 , 나는 실버 바위 의 나머지 알아서 할게요 . And the girl.

(migug babo . dangsin-eun eolin sonyeon i nal mag-eul su issdago saeng-gag ? jeoneun modeun geos-eseo geuleul deo na-eun ibnida. bangbeob dangsin-ui aus doemyeon , naneun silbeo bawi ui nameoji al-aseo halgeyo) . " A man said.

I woke up in a pool of sweat.

7:15. I was late. I rushed a shower, ate a piece of toast, and brushed. I grabbed my book bags and ran down the stairs to the bus stop.

I got there just before the bus left. Something was different. Everyone was looking at me, like I had committed a crime. I sunk in my seat as the bus ride away.

When I walked into the school, it was the same as the bus.

Like everyday, I sat by myself at lunch. Until Rosalina sat next to me.

"We have a problem," she said.

"Im listening, but you don't have my attention for long," I said, picking at my food.

"Look at this," she threw a newspaper on the table.

"What?" I asked, reading the headline.

NAT WOLFF HAS GOT HIS MOJO BACK!

Former child sensation Nat Wolff ,who hit rock bottom at the tragic kidnapping and death of his younger brother, Alex Wolff, has resently been seen with beautiful Rosalina Tai. The two were seen late last night in the Wolff apartment, laughing over a song. Insiders say that Wolff invited Rosalina over for some 'inspiration.' Is Nat Wolff rising out of his pit of loneliness?

"Oh my god," I said.

"Fix this, and fix it soon." Rosalina said, leaving.

I took out a notebook and wrote down what had happened in my dream. I felt like today would be bad and I'd forget.

She stopped me before I left.

"Rosalina, meet me at the old studio house after school." I told her, giving her the spare before she had time to talk.

"Go in through the back door." I walked away.

She got there first, and pulled out thomas' old white board.

"Here," I said, handing her my notebook. She read through it.

"Nat, I can't understand foreign languages, but, I think I know someone who does." Rosalina said. She called someone, then wrote the words on the white board. Twenty minutes later, David Levi came in.

"You never said anything about him," David said. I threw my head back in frustration.

"Just help us. We, me Qaasim and Nat, think that Alex isn't really dead, rather in another country. Nat had a dream with about these words. Translate." Rosalina said.

"It's korean. First, alex is saying, 'You will never get away with this. Nat will stop you. I know he will.' Then, the guy is saying, 'Stupid american. You think that little boy can stop me? I am better at him in everything. Once your out of the way, I'll take care of the rest of the silver boulders.' It's simple." David said, writing on the board.

"take care of the rest of the silver boulders?" Rosalina said.

"And the girl? Does he mean-?" I asked.

"What did we ever do to anyone. And why'd he say the last part in English?" David asked.

"We need to find answers, but none of us are that good in math and science." Rosalina said.

"Except Thomas and Josh." David said.

"Josh hates me, why would he help me?" I asked.

"He doesn't hate you, he just doesn't like how you get all the girls." David said.

"Call them." Rosalina said.

Rosalina wrote the things on the board at my house on this one.

So half an hour later, Qaasim, Thomas, and Josh came in through the back door along with my best friend who was forced to abandon me, Cooper.

"Read the board to catch up." Rosalina said.

For ten minutes they all read the board.

"Are you sure he's not just crazy?" Josh asked.

"That why your here. Work you science Magic and help us see if Nat's crazy." Rosalina said.

"We did bring our dream reading machine, DRM for short." Thomas said.

"All we need to do is attach these chords to his head and pulses, then wait for the radar to tell us what's going on in there." Josh said.

"Does it hurt?" I asked.

"If the wires get fried, yes." Thomas said.

They attached wires to the side of my head, my forehead, my templus, my neck, and my arm.

"Now just fall asleep." Josh said.

"I can't sleep with all of you watching." I said, lying on the couch.

"Fine." Rosalina said. She walked over to the piano. She started playing a familiar song.

If there was a place to hide, I'd go
If there was a place to hide, I'd go, but no
If there was a place to hide, I'd go
If there was a place to hide, I'd go, but no
You're
There
Where ever i may land
you're there
Where ever i may fall
225,000 miles away
I can feel you as close as an inch
If there was a place to hide, I'd go
If there was a place to hide, I'd go, but no
If there was a place to hide, I'd go
If there was a place to hide, I'd go, but no
I
Can't
Get you out of my mind
Can't
Make
You stop coming to mind
Why
Are you still in my head
Why, why, why, why, why, why
If there was a place to hide, I'd go
If there was a place to hide, I'd go, but no
If there was a place to hide, I'd go home
If there was a place to hide, I'd go, but no
If there was a place to hide, I'd go home
If there was a place to hide, I'd go, but no
If there was a place to hide, I'd go home
If there was a place to hide, I'd go, but no
But no, but no

I fell asleep as the song ended.

"Nat?" My mom called.

"Mom?" I asked.

"Listen carefully. I don't have a lot of time. Alex and all of you are in danger. There is a man trying to take back his glory that you guys stole. He's out to kill you all, if you don't stop him. Tell Rosalina and Janice. I'm afraid this is my last night." My mom said.

"Slow down. Last night?" I asked.

"Im passing on my unfinished business to you. You have to save your brother, your his last hope." She faded away, her last word ringing in the air. Then, an ear piercing silence. Screams. All around.

I screamed, sitting up. I was sweaty, and panting. Everyone was staring at me.

"Nat, how long do yoh think you were sleeping?" Josh asked.

"Like, 3 minutes." I said, calming my breathing.

"3 hours." Thomas said.

"You were screaming, crying, and saying something about Janice." Qaasim said.

"Janice. Rosalina, and Janice. Tell Rosalina about Janice." I muttered, ripping the chords off of me.

"He's mad." David whispered.

"Yes I'm mad. Your all here pretending like you get what I'm going through. You don't okay. None of you know what has happened to me these past years. Now I'm going crazy, think my mom is trying to tell me that my brother is still alive." I yelled, standing up.

"Nat, we've all been there." Thomas said.

"You weren't at my house when they called, you weren't there when my dad forced me to go to stupid support group. You all abandoned me like jerks. None of you care about me. Your only here because of Rosalina." I yelled, waving my arms at them.

"Nat, we could've-" David said.

"No David. You all thought that it was best to leave me alone. You left me here, to rot and lose my mind. Now I'm here getting stared down. Well if you wanted to leave me alone, then you've got your wish." I said, walking towards the door.

"Nat wait," someone said, grabbing my shoulder. I think I did the stupidest thing a fifth grader could do: I turned around, furious, and hit the person (accidentally) in the face. Everyone gasped, even me.

It was Rosalina. She held her check, backing away. She started silently crying.

"Im sorry if I just wanted to help." She said, running into the back room.

"Rosalina wait." I said, literally running after her.

I tripped and face planted the floor. I turned over, and before my vision failed me, I saw David and Rosalina rush over.
