Hunter was lying awake in bed with Steve beside him. He hadn’t been able to sleep and had nagged Papa into lying down with him. Papa had told him one of his stories, then told Hunter to lie still and listen to his breathing. Papa had fallen asleep right after that, but Hunter hadn’t. He heard the phone ring out in the kitchen several times, but Papa was fast asleep and didn’t wake up.

When Daddy had left tonight, something was wrong. Hunter tried to tell Papa after Daddy had left, but Papa had just told him everything was fine, Daddy was just going to dinner with Bree and Daniel at Sophie and Bruce’s. Hunter had been mad at first, because he liked all those people and he wanted to go. Papa had told him it was grown up time.

With Papa asleep, he felt restless and lonely. He felt for the amulet around his neck and held it in his hand. At first, it had bothered his neck, but he was used to it now, and he liked the idea that Daniel could find him if he ever got lost. That was because Daniel used to be a Keeper, which was like a policeman for powered people. He put the amulet down, then whispered the spell to himself. “By Wind, by Will, I call Daniel Thorvaldson.” Daniel had told him as long as he wasn’t touching the amulet when he said the spell, it wouldn’t call him. Hunter just liked saying it.

He was still awake twenty minutes later when he heard the sound of the front door opening. He got carefully out of bed without waking Papa, and padded out into the hall. It was still dark, but Hunter saw the shape of his Daddy at the end.

“Good, you’re awake,” Daddy whispered. “I have a surprise for you. Get dressed as quick as you can, and don’t bother Papa.”

Hunter went back into his room, intrigued and excited. Daddy had never done something like this before. What was the surprise? Was he going to get to go somewhere special? Was it something just for powered people?

He wanted the surprise to be special, just him and Daddy, so he was quiet as could be opening his drawer for some pants and a sweater. He was proud to have thought of the sweater, in case they were going somewhere outside. He hoped they were. He sat on his floor in the dark and put on his socks and shoes. Then he got up and bent over Papa, checking to see if he was still asleep. Papa turned over just as Hunter got there, and he waited to see if that meant he was waking up, but Papa's eyes were still closed.

He went back out into the hall, where Daddy still waited for him. As he came up, Daddy held out his hand, and Hunter took it. Daddy’s hand was all sweaty.

“Eeuw, Daddy, you’re wet.”

Daddy’s hand squeezed his harder, then too hard.

“Ow!” Hunter exclaimed, still trying to keep his voice quiet.
