Up: Game 4  Up: Game 4 Outline

Let's see who these people are

Who are they? You're dying to know, so you decide to use your power. But what if they know what your look like? "Open the door, Liam," the man who first spoke growls, like he's running out of patience. "We're waiting." You grab your books, and walk as quietly as you can up the stairs. What if they sow what you were wearing? They don't sound like nice people at all. "LIAM!" a woman yells. You hurry up and change into a different shirt and pair of jeans. Then you shift quickly to a blond kid with freckles, brown eyes and straight, shiny hair. You look out the window. There's only the man and the woman at the front door, but the man is pulling out a gun. Then you shove your backpack under your bed and run out of the room, to the big window in the hall at the back of your house. You open it and climb out, closing it behind you, which isn't easy. Then you run. Hopefully you'll be unrecognizable. You need to get out of here soon; they might know it's you. The front door shatters loudly. "Where are you, Liam?" The mean guy asks. "Maybe he's not home," the woman says. "Are you kidding? This is when the little brat's supposed to be home from school!" You look in a window. They're standing in your front hall, which is scattered with the remains of the front door. Some of your new hair falls into your eyes, but you don't really care. The guy's yelling at her now. "I don't know about you, but I'm not about to come back empty-handed! It's my job to give the boss what he wants, and he wants that kid!" Well, whoever this boss is, he's not about to have you. You run and pray they won't notice anybody who's not Liam.
