Devon didn’t mind the dark. It was almost like being home. But it wasn’t. It smelled different. Like dirt, but somebody else’s dirt.

The angel had put tape over his mouth and his hands and feet. His wrists hurt. His ankles, too. The tape was too tight and he couldn’t move around. He really needed to go to the bathroom. He’d already done number one in his pajamas. He tried to hold it as long as he could, but when he went to sleep he forgot to hold it. Felt yucky. His sister would be mad when she found out.

He wondered if she was looking for him. She’d probably be mad about him leaving Mrs. Nicholson’s house too.

His stomach growled. It would be nice to have some potted meat. Seemed liked a bunch of hours since he ate. Maybe days. He couldn’t tell.

The angel had put him under here and hadn’t come back. Maybe this was where he would be living now. He kinda thought heaven was in the clouds, not under somebody’s house. He could hear moving around in the house. He wondered if his mommy was under someone’s house? Once or twice he even heard some kids crying and hollering.

Maybe the angel had brought them here too. This might be just a hiding place before they went to heaven.

But he wasn’t dead. He didn’t want to get dead.

Devon wished he could be up there with the other kids. They might know what the angel was gonna do to them.

Mostly he wished he could go home and be with his sister. Leslie would be all worried.

If he could get loose he might be able to find his way home. He wished he hadn’t gotten scared when the angel caught him. His sister told him that angels didn’t hurt live people. But he went inside himself anyway and he didn’t get to see which way they came.

He twisted his hands but it didn’t work too good. The tape covered his fingers, so he couldn’t work them. Made it hard to move even a little bit.

Maybe if the angel came back he could ask to have some water. He wished he could go home and get his own water and potted meat. He wished he had his backpack and flashlight too.

Angels probably didn’t let you have wishes.

A man shouted mean words at somebody. Devon jumped. He stared up through the darkness. There was a man in the house with the crying kids. He was mad or just mean. He kept hollering. A woman was screaming and crying.

Something crashed. Somebody was real mad. He didn’t like all that hollering.

It got all quiet.

Devon held real still and listened hard.

Something scraped and dragged underneath the house… not far from where he was stuck.

A bright light shined in his eyes. He squinted against it.

His heart started jumping as the light came closer and closer. His body shook and he went number one some more.

The light stopped real close to him but he couldn’t open his eyes ’cept a crack ’cause the light was so bright.
