"Uhm... Sorry?"

"Get OFF my bed RİGHT now."

"Sorry."

"DON'T SAY SORRY GET OFF!"

"Sorry Ray."

Ray gritted his teeth, stormed over  and started trying to tip Emma, who was laughing hysterically, of his bed. Norman watched them for  a few seconds, then sat up. 

He wondered where Ray had been. İt wasn't clear if this was some kind of joke that Ray was pulling, or it was something serious, or just a new place to play tag.

He couldn't help hoping it was the last option. The library was getting too creepy.

A loud thud made Norman turn.

"Owwwww!"

"Serves you right."

"I DON'T SEE WHY YOU WERE SO ANGRY!" howled Emma from the floor.

"Uhm isn't it obvious?" Ray started pulling his sheets of his bed. "I have to do this, or god help me I would catch your illness." 

"İllness?"

"Yeah."

"I have a... İllness?"

"You do."

Norman thought he should probably say something, then decided it  would be best not to contribute anything to the conversation.

"What..."

Emma swallowed, watched Ray shove the sheets into a basket.

"W...What is it?"

Ray turned, and glared at her.

 "Stupidity!" He snarled.

"Okay, guys, I think that's enough. Can't we get to the point here? Ray, you were here to tell us the coast is clear, so let's go." Said Norman.

"Oh, yeah, and you'd better change your sheets Emma, because Norman has it too."

Emma looked nervously at her friend. Norman cleared his throat.

"Then I guess it's catching, Ray."

"You what?" 

"Oh yeah, so anyway come on!"

Norman walked to the door, Emma trotted out after him and Ray followed, muttering to himself.

"So where's our first stop?" asked Emma. "İs it far?"

"No." Ray gritted his teeth. "But you guys better be ready."









"Ready for what?"

"Shut up, Emma. You ruined Ray's dramatic moment."
