The boy turned around with eyes widen ed. He opened his mouth and seemed to be trying to force himself to speak. "What?" I asked and flustered, he pointed to his mouth. "You can't talk...but you can move your lips, please tell me who you are". He moved his lips and it seemed he said...

" Alan..." I said and recieved a smile and a nod
"Where you the one who took me to Sally's home?" He nodded.
"Then why did you save me". The boy raised his shoulders.
"Are you new here?" He looked puzzled, he seemed to be thinking and after a while he gave a frustrated look that seemed to me like he had alot to say. Later his eyes widened as if he had an idea and passed through the roof of the building and came back up with a paper and a pen and drew three children with masked, an arrow that pointed to a figure that looked like a fat bag that seemed to be a body with an evil face on it, next to it he drew a a mouth with what seemed to be a finger on it and another mouth with an "X" on it. "Uum those things took your voice?" He nodded "But how does that answer my question?" And quickly afterwards "Miss Charlotte? Where are you?" Called Jack "Over hear Jack! Im coming" and I grabbed Allan by the hand, hoping to show him and clear the fact that I'm not crazy. But just then, as we were getting close to Jack, He passed my hand and ran away! Dropping his drawing. Jack saw me and headed to me "Are you ok? What were you doing up there?" Asked concerned. I showed him the paper " The ghost boy, he gave me this." Jack looked at it shocked at the image I showed him "Lets go" He grabbed my hand and lead me back to Sally's.

When we got there Jack sat us down and showed the paper. Every one stared frightened at the image " Do you know who this is?" Asked Sally " No I don't. But apparantly Allan does..."
" Who?" Asked Jack
"The ghost boy, I think this guys stole his voice and thats why he drew to comunicate" everyone stared at me in confusion. "But wasn't he dead" asked the mad scientist "Well as far as I know yes" said Jack "I think we should go speak to the children" said Sally. Puzzled I ask "What are you talking about?" And Jack put the paper in front of me and pointed to the bag with an evil face " That is the boogy man... Oogy boogy..." Then Sally spoke " He is dangerous, he is feared even by monsters, this man is merciless and cruel and has a gambling issue. If what you say is true then we have a problem."
" I see. I think its about time we stop playing hide and seek with Mr. Allan and get some answers." Frankly, I'm very confused.
