"Seriously, Kai, it was an accident, it just slipped out" I shot Jasper with the laser "Don't kill me!".

"You told everyone!" I shot him again "When we told you it was nothing!".

"Of course I knew it was nothing!" he hid behind the chair "You were about to kiss! Do you know what people think when they see that? That they're a couple, together!".

I rolled my eyes and left the laser in a cabinet that was there. I was getting tired.

"And that's why you had to tell everyone that Henry and I are together?" I asked, crossing my arms.

"No..." he hesitated a little "well, yeah, but...".

That's how things were, I had been shooting Jasper for about half an hour with a laser Ray sometimes decides to give us in case of an emergency, cause he was very smart, note my sarcasm thanks.

After having Jasper seen me almost kiss Henry, he went and told everyone in the Man Cave, but not only that, he told them that we were boyfriend and girlfriend, BOYFRIEND AND GIRLFRIEND! Because according to him, when he sees two people about to do... that, he thinks they're a couple, I mean, yes it's the most logical thing, but not for this situation, if he knows that Henry and I are more friends than... than... a couple of good best friends... yes.

I sometimes don't know what I'm saying.

"Okay" I said a little exhausted "I forgive you".

My friend sighed in relief "thanks, I really thought you were gonna kill me".

"Oh! I was going to do it, believe me" I exclaimed receiving a fear look from him "but I don't know, I'm letting you free".

"Thank you?".

"You're welcome" I smiled innocently.

At that moment Charlotte came through the secret door behind the monitr, with her phone in her hand, walking steadily towards the monitor chair. And from the expression on her face, I could tell that she was not expressing what could be "good news."

"You finished fighting, great," she said without even looking at us. "Now call Henry, he's not answering his watch or calls."

I opened my eyes worried. "Are you serious?" I took out my phone and tapped on Henry's name.

"Ray needs him now."

"I'll text him on Twittflash," Jasper said.

"Char, is everything okay?"

She shook her head slightly. "There's something that's giving me a bad feeling about all this, and it has to do with..." she paused and made a symbol appear on the screen. "This."

I frowned in confusion, squinting at the sight, something told me we'd seen it before, it was a red circle with black drawings on the inside, I swore I'd seen it, and it was at the tip, but my brain was betraying me in not being able to remember, because seriously it wasn't the first time I'd seen it, but where?

(...)

I was sitting on the stairs near the tubes, trying to get in touch with Henry, another half hour had passed and there was no sign of the boy, it was like he had disappeared out of nowhere, I was starting to get too worried, and I wasn't the only one, Jasper was running from one side to another in the Man Cave trying to get in touch with him, Charlotte kept seeing the strange symbol and Schwoz... well, it was Schwoz.

I put my phone aside and placed my face in between my hands, rubbing it a little because I was tired of looking at my phone screen so much, waiting for some response from him, but nothing, there was nothing.

We were almost losing hope in him, when out of nowhere, Charlotte's phone started ringing.

"Is it Henry?!" Jasper asked desperately "Henry is calling you?! He's not returning any of my calls, or messages, or Twittflash DMs" he gasped "he's not even answering Kai".

"Hey!" I reproached while walking to where they were.

"I'm sorry!" yes, yes he was desperate "is that him?!".

Charlotte looked at him badly "it's Ray".

"Oh come on!".

"Put him on speaker".

My friend answered the phone, putting it on speaker.

"What's wrong?".

"I'm standing outside the honey factory, where's Henry?" Ray said.

"Nobody knows" I answered "he never answered his watch or his phone".

Silence "But you're Kai, he always answers to Kai" I rolled my eyes, what is it with people with that? "Whatever, I got him a frozen yogurt and now I'm standing here like an idiot while it melts".

Jasper kept running from side to side still trying to get in touch with Henry, but he didn't answer, it was weird, the call came in but that was it.

"Is Henry with Ray?" I shook my head "enough! I'm going to Henry's house".

"Okay" I answered, before I could say anything else, Jasper pulled my arm "Hey! What's wrong?".

"If you come with me, Henry will come no matter what" I raised my eyebrows agreeing.

I'm not saying it's true, but I don't know what to believe about the thing anymore.

We walked to the elevator passing by Schwoz, who was sitting in the swivel chair with a strange hat, and a ukulele in his hands, with Katelyn in a dog bed, and he was singing to her

"And when the moon shines, over the Man Cave, I'll be waiting at the elevator door", a love song.

Jasper and I gave him a weird look.

"What?" he asked unconcerned.

I shook my head from side to side as we pressed the elevator button, then went inside, went to Henry's house, and finally saw why the heck he was missing.

Why do these things keep happening to us?
