Katie ran as quickly as she could toward the Weber family’s house. She was hoping to catch Mrs. Weber before she drove Matthew to Dr. Sang’s office. Katie rehearsed what to tell Matthew. “Going to Dr. Sang’s office can be lots of fun,” she said to herself. Okay, she didn’t really believe that part. But she really wanted Matthew to believe it.

Katie rang the bell at Emma’s front door. A moment later Emma’s teenage sister, Lacey, answered it. Lacey was holding her one-year-old brother Tyler on her hip. Tyler’s twin brother, Timmy, was standing next to them, sucking his thumb.

“Hi, Lacey,” Katie said. “Are Emma and Matthew here?”

Lacey shook her head. “You just missed them. They left for the dentist’s office.”

“Emma went, too?” Katie asked her.

“Yep. Matthew insisted,” Lacey explained. “He said she had to sit in the room with him and make sure Dr. Fang didn’t stab him with a big needle.” Lacey laughed. “Dr. Fang. I wonder where he got that from?”

Katie blushed and kicked at the ground. She knew exactly where he heard the name.

“I’ll tell Emma you were here,” Lacey told her.

“Yeah, thanks,” Katie answered.

As Lacey shut the door, Katie sighed and started for home. Dr. Sang’s office was too far away. Her mother wouldn’t want her to go there all by herself.

The streets of Cherrydale were empty now. No kids were playing ball or riding bikes. They were all inside doing their homework.

Suddenly, Katie felt a cool breeze blowing on the back of her neck. She used one hand to lift up the collar of her jacket.
