Chapter 6: Caiden

"Caiden Todd's office," Caiden said.

"Dude, you have an office?" Isaac asked.

"No, it just sounds cool."

"That's true," Isaac admitted.

"Is this Isaac?" Caiden asked.

"Yeah," Isaac said, "Anyway, you know what happened two years ago?"

"Human baby eating, alien thing? Yeah."

"Well, Ivy said that Raven said that this Virus thing is from those aliens."

"Okay. . ."

"See! That was my reaction to Ivy, and then Ivy was all like, 'Why do you keep saying "Okay. . ."?' and then I was like, 'Seriously?'"

"Okay. . ."

"You suck, man," Isaac told him.

"Whatever."

"Anyway, could you go to Raven's house, like, in five minutes?"

"Why?"Caiden asked.

"She, Terra, and Ivy are having a planning meeting there."

"Ok. So can you go to in a bit?" Isaac asked.

"Yeah, just give me ten seconds."

Caiden leaned away from his phone and yelled.

"Mom! Can I go to a friend's house for something?"

"Sure, can you stay the night there? I need time to work with the other nurses on the Virus," his mom said.

"Yeah, I'll tell him."

"Okay," Caiden said to Isaac, "I have permission, but do I have to bring anything?"

"Just an extra set of clothes," Isaac told him.

"Okay, well I go call you in a bit."

"Bye," Isaac said.

They hung up.

"I'm going, Mom!" Caiden called out.

"Bye!" his mom said.

Caiden got his clothes and put them in a backpack. Then he went out to his driveway and called Isaac.

"Sup, dawg," Isaac answered.

"Don't say that, that's weird," Caiden told him.

"Fine."

"Anyway, I don't know what to do,"

"Where are you?"Isaac asked.

"I'm at the bottom of my driveway."

"Okay, I'm walking down the street right now. You're still at the bottom of the street right?"

"Yeah, I see you. I'll start walking up," Caiden said.

"Okay, bye."

"Bye."

They hung up.
