“ The screams,” said Felix. “ I think I’m frightened.”

“ I hear the sounds, and the screams too,” said Tremont. “ I just don’t think it’s enough to sound the alarms. We are the guards on duty, and we must make sure we have something tangible. I don’t want to wake Singleton up, and we discover that it’s nothing. It just isn’t what guards do.”

“ Come on!” shouted Felix.

“ Please relax,” Tremont said. “ I need your mind clear, just in case.”

Felix cleared his throat and uttered, “ I can’t get them out of my head.”

Tremont stood up quickly and took one step forward. “ Lets not get worked up.”

“ Easy enough to say,” Felix replied.

“ But try.”

Felix shook his head slowly, and his mind was churning with questions and thoughts. He was wondering what his brother was thinking too. He wanted to know why his brother was acting so calm.

“ Shhh,” Tremont whispered.
