Meanwhile...
Tony was having second thoughts. The boys were driving him to endless fits of complaints. No matter what he did to get them comfortable, it just wasn't enough.
"Daaaaad... I can't breathe. I'm so hot dad, and thirsty."
"Me too dad, I need something to drink. The juice is warm."
How the hell could it be warm. He just poured it, with ice. Walking into the room, he took their temperatures again. Finding them both at 102.9, he gave them more Children's Motrin.
"Try and sleep, my boys. You'll feel better."
Over at Harvey's, he recieved an emergency call from Mrs.Genders.
"Hi Harvey? I need to know if it would be possible, for me to bring over my son. I have to take my husband to the Hospital, out of town. You may need to keep Brian for a few days."
Whoa... this was something Harvey didn't expect. A few days with his favorite playmate. Damn right he'd accept.
"Of course, Mrs.Genders. My mother will be here. She can help too. I'll see you soon."
Hanging up the phone, Harvey ran upstairs to change the sheets, and hook up the webcam. Then he called his two friends, to make sure they were hooked in. Once he had everything ready, he heard the knock.
"Come on in, Mrs.Geneders. Hi Brian."
"Hi Harvey, I gets to stay with you."
"I know. We are going to have a wonderful sleepover camp. With lots of movies, and chips."
"Yay... you hear that mommy. We's get movies."
"I heard son. You have fun with Harvey. Mommy will call you tonight, to say goodnight. Okay?"
Giving her son a kiss, she left. Watching from across the street, Tony wondered what the hell Mrs.Genders was doing at that kids place. He knew her from her husband. He worked at the University with him. Opening the door, he called her name.
"Oh, hey Tony. I didn't know you lived here."
"Yeah. I do. Where's your husband?"
"He's at home. We have to drive out of town today. He has that appointment with the specialist. So I just dropped Brian off with Harvey."
"Harvey... the young boy?"
"Mhm... he's sat for us before. He's very reliable, Brian likes him."
Tony didn't. Leaving him to feel more nervous then had earlier.
"Well... how about I keep an eye on them for you?"
"Sure. That would be great. As my husband seems to have a problem with him. He thinks there is something strange about him. Anyway, I have to go."
After she left, Tony couldn't agree more. besides that... her husband had great instincts. So damn right, he would walk over there later. Just to make sure, Brian was doing alright. Heading back into the house, he turned on his computer.
Trying to get a signal from his cable company, wasn't working. Using the landline instead, through dial up, he must have connected into someone elses computer.
Looking at the screen, he noticed a bed. A bed with the sheets pulled back.
"What the hell is this, shit?"
Not sure what he had hacked into, he watched. Seeing a shadow move towards the bed, Harvey came into vision. Trying to see what was going on, he couldn't. For whoevers webcam it was, had thrown something over it. Waiting to see if it came back in, he heard his boys calling.
"Damn it... not now. Running from the room, he headed into his boys room.
"What's the matter, Jimmy?"
"My sheets are soaked from my sweat dad. I need some clean ones."
Grabbing a set of clean sheets, Tony changed his sons bed, then helped him back in.
"How about you, James? How's your bed?"
"I'm fine dad, thanks. Sorry we are bothering you so much."
"You're not son. Just get better, okay."
Leaving the room again, he checked his computer. Finding the screen in darkness, he knew whatever he should have seen, he missed. Not wanting to lose the signal, he left it on, hoping that by chance, it would tune itself back in.
