We were sitting in the crypt, as usual planning and plotting. Then suddenly the door slammed open and Roxie entered the room with a worried face.

"I WILL NOT BE SILENCED, I WILL NOT BE ACCUSED OF BEING HYSTERICAL!"

-"We haven't said a word," said Delia.

-"The nurses did not believe me. I know what I say."

-"And what did you see?" asked Mikey.

-"Today, when I went to visit Noah, I saw a black figure trying to choke Noah with a pillow. Seeing me it threw the pillow on and vanished in thin air."

-"Did you see it vanishing?" asked Delia.

-"No, not really."

-"You mean, you saw the actual Phantom try to suffocate Noah?" I asked

-"Like you saw him smotherNoah to death?" asked Mikey.

-"I don't know what he was trying to do, but it was scary, " she replied.

-"We have to stay calm. We can't jump to conclusions," I added.

-"This is my brother, we're talking about. I wanna make sure he is safe."

-"Wow! It's like a real person," said Delia.

-"Roxie is right. We have to protect Noah," said Mikey.

"But, we have final dress rehearsal today. I need to calm their nerves and get them ready."

"Well, that's okay. I gotta plan," said Mikey

"You do...?" we asked in chorus.
