Cloak & Dagger Page #2

once you're a hero.

...stuff like this

with parents a lot.

He is a good boy.

He's just...

going through a real

tough time right now.

He lost his

mother recently.

Oh.

I guess we're both

having a little difficulty

making an adjustment.

Well, I can say

one thing for him.

If we were at war,

I'd want him

on my side.

You ready to talk?

Want to talk

about the murders?

They weren't murderers.

They were spies.

They'd gone there to

kill an FBI agent.

I just intercepted one

of their communications.

Anybody else see 'em?

If mom were here,

she'd believe me.

She probably would.

But she's not here,

and she's not

gonna be here.

We've gotta get

used to that.

I miss her.

I know.

We both miss her.

I bet she knows it.

I'll bet she can see us

right now, you know that?

Listen,

I've got an idea.

Why don't you and me

call up Dr. Sullivan

tomorrow?

You just tell him

what you saw today.

Just...just to see what

he says about it.

Jack Flack was right.

You do think I'm crazy.

You still talking

to Jack Flack?

Sometimes.

Davey, you've

got to understand:

Jack Flack

is make-believe,

just like all these

ridiculous games.

They don't make it

any easier for you

to get a grasp

on things.

Want to see something?

See proof?

Let me show you.

This is what

the FBI man gave me.

Hey, come here.

There's something

coming on.

More Cloak and Dagger?

What did I just get

through telling you...

Dad,

this is important.

Just wait a minute.

You'll see.

Oh, Davey...

Just give me

a chance.

A man was just

killed for this.

Do you want me

to play it once?

All right, play it.

Play it one time.

See, that's Dr. Boom

and that's Jack Flack

going to the secret

underground bomb factory.

Have you seen this

or done this before?

Yeah. I played it

at Morris'.

Now, here we are.

Get the guards.

Got one!

Ok, get the case...

I'd like to figure

this one out.

And I made it.

And where's the proof

you're talking about?

I don't know.

Maybe it's on

the next level.

Now let's shut it off,

all right? Come on.

But I get another life.

Let's just shut it

off. That's enough...

Dad!

I want you to

get ready for bed.

Can I just play

one more?

Davey, I said no

and I mean no.

Now,

get ready for bed.

I hate you.

I know you don't

mean that, son.

You don't

care about me.

Huh! You never

believe me.

Davey,

when I was a kid,

I was exactly

like you are.

I wanted to be a hero.

That's why

I joined the Air Force.

So I could

be somebody.

Let me tell you

something, Davey.

Heroes don't

just shoot bad guys,

they...they put

supper on the table,

they fix bicycles,

they do boring things...

real things,

not make believe.

I hope

you'll understand that

when you get

a little bit older.

Now, I'm going to

put these games away.

I don't want you

playing 'em anymore.

Dad, if you'd just play

one with me sometime.

Good night, Davey.

Not too smart for

a military man, huh?

Shut up.

Unh!

Will you get that

for me, Davey?

Hello?

Is this

David G. Osborne?

Yes.

Good.

Dad!

Yeah?

It's them!

It's the spies.

The ones

who killed the man!

Hurry!

Hello.

They hung up.

What'd he say?

Just asked

who I was.

Dad, they know

where I am.

Ah, it's just a wrong number.

Come on, let's...

No, it wasn't!

I know

it was them.

Come on, come on,

take it easy.

Just go on to bed.

It's way past your bedtime.

Can I sleep

in your bed tonight?

What?

Can I sleep in

your bed tonight?

What for?

Well, I don't think

those, uh,

guys will come in

when you're here.

You don't, eh?

Ok, come on.

Everything's

going to be ok, son.

Dad!

What is it, son?

Don't leave.

Well, I've got

to go to work, son.

I don't have

any choice.

Well, they're just

waiting for you to leave

so they can get me.

Yeah...

Listen, I, um...

I talked to Dr. Sullivan

this morning,

and I made

an appointment

for us to see him

tomorrow, ok?

Humor him, Davey.

This turkey's

not gonna help us.

We're on our own.

And I got to...

I got to work

a double shift today

on account of

that big inspection

I told you about,

but tomorrow I'm off

so I can go to

the doctor with you,

and you can tell him...

everything you told me

about those spies.

Can't I

go with you?

Davey...

Come on,

you're a big boy now.

I mean, you're old enough

to stay home alone

without kicking

a fuss, aren't you?

I'll tell you what:

Maybe next week we can get

you in that baseball camp.

You'd like that,

wouldn't you?

Huh?

Ok.

If you need me, just call me

at the base, ok?

Lady Ace, Lady Ace,

come in.

Kim, are you there?

Kim, come in.

Yeah, what?

Listen, we got an

assignment for today.

I don't want any more of

your stupid assignments.

Come on, Kim, I'm

really in trouble.

Good. You got me

in trouble yesterday.

Now what?

Remember the spies?

You mean the killers?

Uh, yeah. They're

coming to kill me.

They want the Cloak

and Dagger thing back.

I need you to come over.

What Cloak

and Dagger thing?

Can't tell you now.

It's top secret.

Tell him you're having

your breakfast

and you'll call

him back later.

My mom says

I got to go now.

Wait.

I'm having my breakfast.

I'll call you back later.

Is he

always like that?

Usually.

Doesn't it

drive you crazy?

Nah. He's the only boy

in the neighborhood

who isn't boring.

Did I

teach you that?

Well, what's

his father like?

Forget it.

He's not your type.

Wait a minute.

How on earth

would you know

who is or isn't

my type?

He's in the Army

or something.

Oh.

Guess you're right.

We are on our own.

I'll get it.

There's gotta be

something on this tape.

Probably encoded.

So what do we do?

Have it decoded, take it to

the FBI, and we'll be heroes.

How do we do that?

A good spy always knows

when to bring in

outside expertise.

Morris can do it.

He can do anything.

Don't tell him

too much.

Just enough

to get the job done.

We can trust Morris.

He's my friend.

Friendship is a luxury

a spy can't afford.

What do you mean?

Well, ok, if you

really think so.

Morris.

Thank you.

Morris.

Where's my Twinkies?

Guess what.

What, you made it

to the 17th level

of Cloak and Dagger?

No, Morris,

this is for real.

I got this real important tape

I wanted you to see.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah, it has some secret code

or something in it.

Will you take

a look at it?

Morris, are you

listening to me?

Yeah, sure.

Hey, Davey, I want to

have the Twinkies

or my money back.

What's this?

You tell me.

Looks like a Cloak

and Dagger tape.

Well, it's not.

Take a look at it.

What do you mean,

it's not?

Who gave it to you?

This guy.

I can't tell you

any more than that.

Hmm.

Top secret, huh?

What do you

want me to do?

I don't know, Morris.

You're the genius

around here.

All right.

Let's have a look.

This microchip

doesn't belong here.

What?

Take a look.

Whoever put this in

really knew what

he was doing.

Look at those

connections.

It could be used to
