     'look hun, there's nothing i can do about it,' the middle aged man put his feet on the desk.

     the policemen went to the gallesburg school to question a girl who had dreams that can be true — gwen — about these missing boys.
     'why? it was just a dream.' gwen replies to their previous question.
     'who else knows about the dream?'
     'nobody.'
     'we found two black balloons at the scene, gwen.'
     the room became silent until gwen broke it with 'oh.'
     'we also found one black balloon at griffin stagg's abduction,' one cop said.
     'and we never released those details,' the one on the right added.
     'so the question is, how did you hear about the balloons?'
     'i didn't.'

     days have passed since the bruce and vance went missing. the yamada's tried to slowly move on but mrs. yamada would cry everynight and mr. yamada didn't know how to comfort her.
     'daddy, why is mommy crying?' jasmine asked standing at their bedroom door walking towards them, making a screech on every brown wooden floorboard she stepped on.
     'there's just something in her eye.. hey why aren't you in bed?'
     'when is brother coming back?' she asked instead of replying to his question.
     'very soo—'
     'never. jasmine dear, you know that lovely place called heaven? he's gone their and he isn't coming back,' camilla explained.
     'never?' jasmine dropped the barely stuffed bunny plush she held by it's paw onto the floor. she stood their for a few seconds and ran back to her room without picking her plush again — this plush was named 'mr. bruce' after her only brother, he gave it to her on her 5th birthday, 05/23/83. on that day they all went to a baseball game, the same day bruce and vance hopper became friends. vance's parents divorced when he was 11, he quit baseball after the tragedy.

     'i'll do baseball for you!' bruce tried to cheer vance up.
     'you'd do that for me?' vance looked up at bruce from the bench they were sitting on.
'of course!' bruce smiles. 'i barely know anything about baseball, and i'll probably get hit by the ball multiple times before i get it right, but hey, if one of us faces horrible consequences we both do!' bruce chuckles.
'you promise?'
'i promise.'

the next morning mrs. hopper heard birds chirping and her sister in the living room. she put on her slippers and her robe as she walked into the living room.
'just in time for the morning news!' her sister said, she wore a nice pink chiffon t-shirt, and dark-wash bellbottom jeans.
'not only have they found the two teenagers, but also the man who kidnapped all these boys and seemingly killed them and buried them in the house across the street.'
