This is weird. They must not be showing any events tonight. My dream is pitch black. They always have something to show and if they don't, which is extremely rare, they show old events. But right now they aren't giving me anything to dream about.

Suddenly a light flickers on and there is a table with one chair on a side and two chairs on the other side. A dim light is shining over. A door is pushed open and two men in what look like nurse outfits burst into the room dragging a boy with handcuffs keeping his arms behind his back. They sit him down at the table and he looks up at them as they sit down across from him. My mind is racing; it's Blake! He looks knocked out but only for a second because then he lifts his head and I can see dry blood on his lower lips. Why would the dream network people be showing me this?

"Where am I and why am I here?" Blake says then he clenches his teeth. "What do you want?"

"You are in the PNP or the Portsmouth Naval Prison and you know exactly why you are here. We want to know if you have more of these plans written down anywhere else and if your two friends know about them."

"M-my friends have nothing to do with this," He stutters. "I wouldn't put them in danger by telling them about the papers."

"Good. Are the ones we collected the only ones you wrote down?"

"How about you show them to me then. Then I can tell you."

The two men open a drawer in the table and pull out a pile of papers. Blake spreads them out to look at them. He looks as if he is counting them. Once he is done he smiles, but quickly so the men don't see and then says, "They're all here," and pretends to look upset.

He knows that one of the sheets is missing and he knows that it was Kalea and I who took it.

The men put the papers back and close the draw. They force Blake to stand and they drag him out of the room leaving to door swinging wide open. I look through the door wishing that this never happened and that Blake was back here, safe, with Kalea and me. Straight away I see someone and they are looking at me. It is the boy! The boy who has been in my dreams recently! I can't believe he is here. And looking at me too! After a few seconds he looks away, his face looks sad. He brings his hand up and turns off the light. I wake up. It must not have been the dream network people who showed me this. It must have some how been the boy!

I quickly get out of bed and decide to bring Romeo and Juliet, just incase I have time to read. I grab the cooked apple, and rush to the kitchen where the only window in the house is. It is still dark out but the sun has started to rise. Time to go meet Kalea. I grab two apples from the basket near the water pump and walk toward the front door and I see my note… Kalea and I are going to be gone for a couple days for a project for work. So don't worry when you find that we are not here!

The house is very quiet. The only things I can hear are my dad's snores and my brain thinking things over. I realize that I might not be back. I almost have second thoughts about leaving but then I think of Blake. No one should have to endure the things I saw last night. I rush out the door and run to the apple tree.

Kalea is already there, sitting down pulling at the grass and when she sees me coming she stands up and runs to me.

"I could only get a bite of bread that was my dinner from yesterday. We should take some apples and maybe some wheat."

I don't know when I should tell her about my dream. Maybe she had it too, but I don't think so because the boy was there and she has never seen him before so it wouldn't make sense for her to see the same as me. I decide to tell her later and just continue or conversation about food, "I agree because I don't have very much food either. I got my dinner, which is a cooked apple with wheat, and I brought two more apples from home."
