games and watching shows like Guardians of the
Galaxy. Billy had a lot of acne, buck teeth, and big,
round, odd glasses,” Mr. Jack remarks as he pauses
the story.
“Something out of the ordinary is happening
today,” the broadcaster said. “People from all over
the globe have lost their ability to feel pain. Some
people have lost mental and emotional pain, some
physical pain, and some both.”
Billy just stood frozen. He couldn’t believe what
he had heard. Feeling shocked, with a dazed look
upon his face, he went back to his desk. “Is it true?
Could people lose their ability to feel pain? I don’t
know what to make of this,” Billy whispered to
himself.
“And what’s wrong with you?” Susan asked him
in her normal, uppity tone.
“The news--” he managed to spit out of his
mouth, “the news channel says people everywhere
are losing their ability to feel pain. Isn't it strange?”
“Well, I hate agreeing with you, but yeah, it is
odd,” she replied in a calm voice.
“I think someone should investigate somehow!
But how, is the issue,” Billy said in a curious tone of
voice. “Maybe somewhere in space there is a control
center or planet that can fix it,” Billy continued in an
excited voice.
“Yeah, sure thing,” Susan said as she rolled her
eyes at him. “Even if there is, what are you going to
do about it?”
“Mr. Jack, what is Billy going to do? Does he
have a way to find out?” Molly asks him in an eager
tone.
“Hold your horses! You will find out,” he replies
with a chuckle.
“Well, I do have some connections and I think I
can do something, yes,” Billy said in a matter-offact
tone. Then after a short pause said, “I know
exactly what to do so there will at least be an effort
to fix all this."
“Uh-huh, sure you do,” Susan said, rolling her
eyes once more. She saw Billy stand and walk
towards the door and asked, “Hey, where are you
going?”
“I told you I might know how to try and fix this.
That is where I am going. Would you like to join
me?” he said before immediately regretting it. The
last thing he wanted to do was to be stuck with
Susan in space.
“Uh, n- actually, yes,” she replied with a smirk.
"Now Molly, you have to understand, Susan
didn't agree so she could help, she agreed because
she wanted to get out of work. She had no intention
of trying to help Billy," Mr. Jack tells Molly in a
very serious tone.
“She sure is a bad person,” Molly says,
returning the serious tone and gives a quick, firm
nod of her head.
They hopped into Billy’s car and started driving.
“So where are we going?” Susan asked him as they
headed down the highway.
“We are meeting with a pilot. My friend, Chris,”
Billy told her.
“A pilot? The connection you have is a pilot?
Wow,” Susan seemed annoyed and unimpressed
until they pulled up to a gate for NASA.
“Susan was unimpressed because she believed
Billy meant a pilot at a small airfield. She was
surprised when they came up to the NASA gate and
she then realized how serious Billy was,” Mr. Jack
says to Molly.
“NASA? Does this pilot work for NASA? I
thought you meant an airfield out in the middle of
