Jennifer's POV:
The next morning, the guys all groan as they awaken from a knock on the door. April extends her arm out in front of me in defense.
April: "Who is it?"
Charles: "It's me, Charles."
April: "It's my boss. Can you guys-"
April turns around to see that the guys have already hidden themselves.
April: "Hide?"
She opens the door as Danny and Charles walk in.
April: "Charles, what's up?"
Charles: "Uh, April, listen. You have been working awful hard on this story lately. Why don't you take it easy for a while? Just let somebody else handle it. Just for a little while, you know?"
April storms off to the bathroom in anger.
April: "Charles, what are you talking about? It's my story. No way!"
Charles: "Well, look at you. You're exhausted."
Me: "Rough night."
Charles: "Well, let somebody else help you cover City Hall."
I follow Danny's gaze to see Mikey reflected in the mirror, hiding under the kitchen table. Danny faces the table to find that he's not there anymore. I walk into the bathroom to see if I can mediate the situation.
April: "Charles, that's ridiculous. What's with you today?"
Charles: "Nothing's with me today.I just thought you might like a little help, that's all."
Me: "You don't know my sister very well, do you?"
April: "Would you hand me a towel, Jen?"
I walk over to the bath tub to see Donnie hiding behind the shower curtain. I point my head upwards for him to try the ceiling. He nods, and leaps up to the ceiling right as Charles pulls back the curtain. I quickly grab a towel and hand it to April. She feels my forehead with a look of concern.
April: "You feel a little warm. Why don't you stay home today? Out, Charles. Out, out, out, out , out. I have to get ready for work."
Charles: "Are you sure you won't reconsider about some help?"
April: "Danny, would you tell your father to relax?"
Danny's now crouched under the table to see if he was imagining things.
Danny: "I wish."
Danny gets up to leave with his father.
Charles: "Just don't push any buttons today, ok? Feel better, Jennifer."
Me: "Yeah, thanks. Bye."
I close the door on their way out.
Mikey: "That was close."
April gasps in surprise, while I sigh in relief.
Mikey: "Whoa! Time to switch to decaf, April."
Me: "April, I feel fine."
April: "I know that. But if the Foot can get to a secret lair in the sewers, they can get to you in a public school. Just stay here with the guys for today, ok?"
