he was trying to convince himself more than Fred.
“I don't need this. Are you with me tonight or not?”
“I...”
“If you don't want to answer, fine. You know the address. I got to do this. I need to find out if these things really exist or not.” Fred hung up the phone before Nick could respond, then tossed the phone to the side of his bed and got up. He attached the beeper to his belt and clipped the Rod to the other side. He took one last look around his room. “Well, it was nice knowing you room. You always did smell kind of funky. That could have been me. Goodbye sweet Xbox, I will miss you,” he jokingly said before climbing out of his window.
     
    Nick threw his phone to the side of his bed. “What an idiot?” he barked. He sat down at his computer and began typing away. “How can he believe this stuff? Monsters do not exist. This stupid book-,” he said as he picked up the heavy book given to him by Carl. “-is all nonsense.” He looked through the names of the monsters. Most of them sounded old and made up, which made sense seeing as this so called organization he was working under created the names. They can literally make up whatever name they saw fit for these beasts. The way they described some of them though made Nick worry. Some had the power to lift a human and tear him into pieces. Some could use fire or electricity as weapons. He even saw one that had his whole body made up of stone.
    He let the book slide out of his hands and turned on the TV trying to get his mind off the Unknowns. He wanted to forget everything and just worry about school and his own personal problems. Monsters were great in fairy tales but in real life, when school, girls, and family problems were happening all at once - monsters were the last thing needing to be added to the list.
He sat back watching a comedy, hoping to forget about all the monster talk. However, Fred and the Unknowns kept flaring up in the back of his mind no matter how loud the TV got.
     
    Fred began to walk towards the address that was given to him. He ignored the fact it was already around nine o'clock and his mom would probably find out that he snuck out. She was rarely home and even when she was she was so busy she might as well not have been home. He brushed off the fact that she'd get mad and tried to focus on the mission.
    “Damn it,” he muttered under his breath as he began to walk quicker through the heated night. The wind was paper thin as it barely brushed his reddish cheeks. “Why does this stuff always happen to me?” He wondered why he was the first to get a mission. Why hadn't Nick or even Marshall gotten one yet? Why was he the chosen one - the chubby guy who did nothing but play video games and eat? Fred felt that he lacked all the luck he needed tonight.
    Fred grabbed his beeper and looked at the small black device. “He said red or green to start?” As he tried to remember, a couple that was strolling close together began to walk up the block. Fred decided to go with the red button, which made his body heat up. A small spasm hit his head again and he doubled over. Once the pain subsided he looked back up. He grabbed every body part to make sure nothing was wrong or missing. His body temperature quickly returned to normal. He took a look at his hands, still visible to him. “I thought I was supposed to enter the other realm. What the....” he said, and then saw the couple who was walking his way earlier. The girl bumped into Fred.
    Fred stepped back as the girl almost fell. The guy took a look to where Fred was as he answered. “Hey, I’m sorry I didn’t see her,” Fred tried to explain but the guy just helped his girlfriend back to her feet.
    “Something is there,” she screamed as she ran past where Fred was standing. Her boyfriend took a look in front of him and when seeing nothing, he shrugged and chased after her. Fred just watched as they ran. She could feel him there but they couldn't see him. Visible to
