Me and mama are in the car to go pick up Cal from school. I don't get why he wanted to go back to school. I hate school, it is so overstimulating. "Mama why do I call Jared, Jared instead of Uncle Jared like Aunt Lourdes and Aunt Evie?" I ask her and she sighs a bit looking at me through the rearview mirror. "It's a long story. Can we talk about this another time?" Mama asks me and I nod looking back out the window. We pull up to Cal's school and he gets in the car and gets buckled in. We start to drive to the apartment and we make a quick stop to get frozen yoghurt. We all get our flavors and we get back into the car and drive back home and we make it back and walk up the stairs. Mama unlocks the door and we all walk in. "Ok. We're gonna do some homework like your mom said, and then we can get back to some more awesomeness." Mama says putting Cal's backpack on the table, "did you like doing homework when you were in school Auntie Mick?" Cal asks mama, "no, of course not. There's only one Stone sibling that was a big enough nerd to like homework." Mama says to Cal getting his homework out of his backpack. "Can I play some Xbox first to warm up my brain?" Cal asks mama and I look at Cal smiling, "does that normally work on your dad?" Mama asks Cal, "no." Cal says disappointed

"Gimme some credit, buddy." Mama says and somebody knocks on the door, I look over at the door and then I sit in a chair across from Cal and I start to finish my schoolwork from today on my iPad

"Cal, Vi is it ok if my friend Autumn comes in." Cal looks over at her and says ok and I nod reluctantly. I don't really trust her. Something about her feels off and I don't like it.

Mama and Autumn talk about something that I don't really want to listen to so I just play angry birds on my iPad. Mama gets a call from someone and she takes it. After a bit Cal finishes his homework and we start to play video games. I'm not very good at it, but I like playing it with Cal.

Mama and Uncle Ben are in Daly's apartment right now. I always stay in the car for stuff like this. It's for my safety which I am fine with. It avoids awkward conversations from everyone. It doesn't take long before mama and Uncle Ben come running out and into the car. They don't explain anything to me, but they just keep driving. We get to a place that looks like an airport. We get to the gate and Uncle Ben opens his window. "Pleas this is urgent. I was just here with Captain Daly. Remember Bermuda Triangle, the whole thing? You were."

"Sorry. You need new authorization for each visit." The guy says to Uncle Ben, "NYPD," mama says showing the guy her badge. "A little out of your jurisdiction, aren't you?" The guy asks mama, "Harris is it? We have reason to believe William Daly's about to steal an airplane." mama says to the guy at the gate. The guy laughs a bit, "what, the cargo loaders put you up to this?"

"We're dead serious." Mama says to the guy looking a bit annoyed, "come on! He's in the simulator, like he's been everyday for the past 3 weeks. It's a little sad if you ask me." The guy says, "aren't the simulators over there." Uncle Ben says pointing to the right and the guard nods, "then what is he doing over there?" Uncle Ben asks pointing to the left and the guards eyes go wide and he calls someone on the phone. Harris lets us in and Uncle Ben parks somewhere and mama turns back to me. "You stay here it will be too loud for you on the tarmac and way too dangerous." Mama says and I nod a bit and they both get out going to the runway. I wait in the car for a while waiting for mama and Uncle Ben to come back into the car. It has been so long that I have gotten bored of angry birds. I see them walking towards the car and they don't look happy. They both get in the car and they say nothing. "Mama what happened?" I ask and she looks back at me, "we didn't stop Daly, he flew into the storm and now he is gone." mama says to me, "will he come back like last time?" I ask and mama looks back at me and she shrugs a bit and I look confused. "So the plane disappeared like last time?" I ask mama and she nods, I look a bit confused, but I don't say anything to her. "How about we have Mac n' cheese for dinner tonight?" Mama asks me and I smile and nod, we drive back home and I go and sit on the couch while mama makes dinner. Uncle ben turns on the tv and looks at the news. Stuff has already gotten out about Daly and it is all over.

"The search continues for Captain William Daly and professor Fiona Clarke. Hours after the plane was reportedly shot from the sky, the plane's remains as well as Fiona Clarke and William Daly." The tv reporter says and mama brings me a bowl of Mac n' cheese and I look at the spoon. "Do we have any little spoons?" I ask mama and she looks at my spoon, "I'm sorry sweetheart, I thought that was a little spoon. I will get a little spoon for you." I hand the spoon to mama and she goes back to the kitchen and brings out a small spoon and I keep watching the news with Uncle Ben and mama. Uncle Ben gets up and goes to his board of people and looks at it for a bit, he then scoffs. "20 feet. Daly was sitting just 20 feet from us, and the whole world blamed him for what happened. Lost his family, his son, and I couldn't help him." Uncle Ben says and mama turns off the tv. "Ben, look at me. This is not your fault. Daly went off the rails. He couldn't let go of things, even things that were out of his control. Look, I know there is a lot going on around us right now, but I am worried that you are doing the same thing." Mama says to Uncle Ben, "he was right about so many things--the--the buried weather reports, the meteorologist. I mean maybe Fiona really was working for the major."

"Fiona helped save those passengers. She--she took care of them. How can you honestly question whose side she was on?" Mama asks Uncle Ben, "then how did they find the meteorologist? Someone had to tell them." Uncle Ben says to mama, I think Autumn is the one giving up information to them. "Maybe I did."

"What?" Uncle Ben asks confused, "Autumn was here when you called. I-I asked you about Massapequa in front of her. What if Autumn is the mole? T-the major, she's looking for the Holy Grail--the passenger most affected by the calling. What if she told them about Cal's drawings, about how Cal and Vi help us?" Mama says to Uncle Ben, "she was with them all day." Uncle Ben says running out of the house with Cal's backpack. I look at him running out and I finish eating my food. I look at mama confused, "get your jacket, gloves, hat, and boots. I'll get you some warm clothes. Get BunBuns and your blanket. I nod and I get BunBuns and my blanket and I wait for mama. She gets my backpack and we walk out of the apartment.
