Rafe was worried because he did not know what Matty was going to do next. Rafe was worried that Matty had a funny picture of him for crit next period. Rafe told Matty his password for his page from when they were trying to get Zeke and Kenny back. It was Rafe's turn to go and his project was called Kid In A Wall but instead of that a picture of Rafe came up letting people know that he does not know who his dad is and that Rafe thinks that he probably won't be coming back to cathedral next year.
Rafe was afraid of Matty because he never did anything half way. When Rafe got to school people were staring at him. On his locker he saw "hey Rafe get a life" painted on his locker. Matty said that you should never rat on a friend. Rafe remember that he told all his secrets to Matty and he never should have. So now it is too late to take it back. Rafe called Matty a big unpredictable, highly dangerous baby.
Rafe did not know what happened to Matty after that all he knew was that he did not go on the bus back to school. Rafe tried to call him, e-mail him and text him but he did not hear back. He didn't know if Matty was mad at him or if he should be mad at Matty or both. The phone rang in the middle of the night and then Rafe dialed Mattys number and he picked up. Matty said wait a second and Rafe stayed on he phone for 3 minuets until he realized what happened. Matty put the phone down. Rafe felt like a sucker. Rafe said that you do not want Matty as an enemy.
The guard told me to put my hands down. Mrs. Ling came over and I saw Matty standing there. The guard asked if he can check inside the backpack. He unzipped the back pack and found one of those stainless steal pens like the one Matty gave Rafe for Christmas. Mrs. Ling asked if he could explain. Rafe looked over at Matty and he was shaking his head and saying don't tell. Rafe said its not his backpack and he did not put the pen in there. They asked who's backpack is it and Rafe did not want to tell them at first but then he started thinking about all the times he got in trouble that year and all the times Matty had gotten away. This time it wasn't Rafe's fault. He looked over again at Matty and saw he was walking away with the rest of the class. That's when Rafe said the backpack belonged to Matty.
"Set down the bag and step away" the store manager said. Rafe sees all of these people running out the doors and all of the alarms going off and police sirens. Rafe thinks this is all a big mistake. He puts down the bookbag. Then about a dozen lines drop down and all of these swat officers come down. Don't move a freakin' muscle one of them said. The third one says can you please go back in the gift shop.
Rafe still does not have a good idea for the spring art show. They went on a field trip and Rafe though that he might find his idea here. Rafe saw the normal side of Matty that he had never seen before. They went to the gift shop and Matty said that gift shops are the best part. Rafe learned that the gift shops are for rich people even post cards were 5 dollars. They found a hundred dollar book on this guy named Mondrian. Matty asked Rafe to hold his bookbag while he went to use the bathroom. Then Mrs. Ling was telling them to get on the bus and Matty was in the bathroom so Rafe was going to get on the bus but then the store alarm went off and then he realized that he was the thief.
They found out all the kids in the school had to be in a spring art show and Rafe wanted it to be the 195 thing on his Operation Get a Life list. Mrs. Ling says that this could be what determines if you will stay at cathedral . Rafe said that this project is like taking a multiple choice test that has thirty-two trillion possible answers because you can use any materials, but also it looked like he was the only one who did not know what he wanted to do. So he started to feel a little bit nervous because the finish line was starting to come up fast.
Rafe came inside his house and he could not stop thinking about what Hairy said "that he had stories to tell him". Rafe decided not to tell anyone about what happened today, even though his brain was over flowing. Then he did not know if it would be a good time to ask the questions about his dad so he just started talking about the painting his mom was painting. Rafe had alot of questions about his Dad that he wanted answers to.
He asked why they were following him and Matty tried to lie but it did not work. Then as he had them Rafe yelled "your my dads uncle" then he froze and there was 75% less murder in his eyes. Then Rafe asked where is his dad and he put them down and then he asked where he lives and Hairy said that his mom always hated the city. Also that Hairy said that he should talk to his mom first and if he still wants to come back Hairy will tell him some stories. Then as they were leaving Matty said to Rafe that there was a 10 dollar bill hanging out of his jacket pocket and they were just wondering how it got there, then Rafe says that he still does not know a lot of things.
Rafe's mom let him hang with Matty one day that week, and that meant that they had to make this one count. So they set themselves up across the street like real detectives. So when Hairy left his shop they got up and they realized that he was smarter than them and we was waiting for them and then he grabbed them .
