Phantom Boy Page #3

the paramedics never would've

got to him in time.

Miss Delaney? Is something wrong?

You can talk to me, you know.

Tell me what's upsetting you.

- Something's not right here.

- She can neither see nor hear you, mister.

- What's happened to me?

- Hang on. I'll show you.

This really is the craziest dream

I've ever had.

It's not a dream. Look.

Is that me?

I mean, is that really me?

Look. Look at my hand. Are you seeing this?

You've been a phantom for too long.

Hurry up, or you won't make it back.

- But what do I do?

- It's easy.

- What happened? Where am I?

- How are you feeling?

- Did you get them?

- Calm down...

- Three men and a vicious mutt.

- You're in the hospital.

- I saw the man with the broken face.

- I'll get a doctor.

But I can't stay here.

I have to arrest those men.

Are you listening to me?

I need to go back right away.

- Dino, it's time to go. Leo's waiting.

- I'm ready.

That smells really good, Daddy.

Thanks, Titi. He'll like it.

I know he'll love it.

- Hello, Leo. Did you sleep well?

- Not really. I feel sick.

That's normal. It's because of the treatment.

As the doctor told you yesterday,

I need to take a blood sample

for your tests, okay?

You're such a brave boy.

Will they look at my blood

under a microscope?

Not only that. There are lots

of other tests for this illness.

That's it, all done.

I'll get out of your hair now.

See you later, Leo.

- Hi, Leo.

- Titi, are you all by yourself?

Mommy and Daddy are talking to the doctor.

Here, I drew you a picture.

It's when you fly.

That's a great picture, Titi.

It's exactly like that.

But, Leo, why can't I see you for real

when you fly?

No one can see me. That's why it's a secret.

- Hello, darling.

- Hi, Mom.

Look, Leo, I made your favorite dish.

Spaghetti with eggplant and Parmesan.

- Sorry, Dad, but I'm not very hungry.

- No problem. Maybe later.

- I've brought you a new detective novel.

- Thanks, Mom.

Are you feeling better, Leo?

Can you show me how sick you feel?

I'll get you something for the pain.

Your pasta will get cold.

I'm not hungry. It's a shame because

my dad's pasta is the best in the world.

What now? I asked not to be disturbed.

I'm sorry, it's Lieutenant Tanner again.

He insists on talking to you. He won't quit.

Okay, put him on.

Tanner, why are you still bothering me?

Aren't you in the hospital?

I've been trying to reach you for hours.

I know where the disfigured man is.

Let the real police do their job for once.

Get off the line. I have work to do.

I found him and his gang

in the port last night. Listen to me.

No, you listen to me.

This is a serious matter.

And we certainly don't need your help.
