Arabella's POV

"Hey? Hey, Bella, Char." Henry walks out of the storage room and we glance at him. Charlotte was typing on her computer and I was watching tv. She was trying to figure out information on a motorcycle thief.

"Yeah, what's up?" We both simultaneously ask.

"Have you, uh, have you been noticing anything like, weird about Ray?" Henry questions and I giggle.

"Since the day I met him." I joke and Henry rolls his eyes.

"Everyday, all the time." Charlotte remarks. "Why?"

"No, I mean he's been talking like when nobody else is around." Henry explains and we both turn to him.

"You mean talking to himself?" I asked.

"Yeah." Henry nodded. "Like full on conversations with people who aren't even there."

"Well, my uncle Roscoe talks to his food before he eats it." Charlotte mentions.

"What's he say?" Henry asks.

"Stuff like- Well, hello hamburger you're about to take a trip down to belly town!" Charlotte replies in a deep voice, rubbing her belly.

The sprocket opens and my dad walks out, talking to someone or something that wasn't even there. Henry gestures to this and we all slowly walk closer, listening to the conversation.

My dad sees us. "Hey, guys. You find any more info on that motorcycle thief?" He slaps the air behind him. "Will you not stand so close to me?"

Henry, Charlotte, and I share a puzzled expression.

"I can feel you breathing on my neck!" My dad complains and sighs. "Thank you."

My dad looks at us and sees our confused faces.

"Why are you guys staring at me?" My dad wonders.

"Uh..." Charlotte and I trail off.

"Because you're talking to nobody!"

Charlotte and I shush Henry and he shushes us.

"It's got to be said!"

"Right, I haven't introduced you to Brad." My dad chuckles and I smile.

"Oh." I laugh. "I know Brad."

"You do?" Charlotte and Henry ask me and I nod.

"Sort of." I grin.

"Brad, this is Henry and Charlotte." My dad introduces. "Guys, this is invisible Brad. Brad, you remember my daughter, Arabella."

Charlotte and Henry were still confused but went along with it.

Charlotte waved awkwardly. "Hi, Brad."

"Looking good, Brad!" Henry smiles awkwardly.

"Brad, say hi." My dad nods toward us but he didn't respond. "Brad? Come on, Brad!"

My dad felt around and groans. "Hate it when he does this. Brad! Brad! Where are you? Come on, this isn't funny anymore, man! Brad!"

I know who Brad is, but watching my dad chase around an invisible person is funny to watch.

"This is so sad." Charlotte whispers to us.

"He's not okay." Henry adds and I chuckle.

"Shush, he's not crazy." I assure them and they look at me weirdly. "He's not crazy about this."

Eventually my dad caught Brad. "Ah! Gotcha!" He grunts and throws him to the side, causing the cart to topple over and this shocks Henry and Charlotte. My dad picks up Brad. "Come here! Now, say hello to those kids!"
