The next day, I got a text from Jess. It said:

Yo. Your weirdo is awake and trying to burn down my garage. Get over here. NOW!

I send a shortened, hurried version of the text to Katie, then make my way to Jess's house. I could hear various sounds coming from her garage. Most are clangs and bangs, but there's also the occasional curse in English or Spanish. I opened the garage door to a mess of tools and charred walls. Jess had Leo pinned down with his hands at his sides, both with a menacing look on their face. Jess shoots me a glare.

"Took you long enough!" She exclaimed. "He's been awake for half an hour!"

Suddenly, Leo threw her off, stood up and ignited himself. "If someone doesn't tell me what's going on right now, I will torch this place."

"Alright, alright, no need to be hasty. I'll explain everything, but calm down first, okay?" I asked patiently. Slowly, the fire died out, and Leo's foot was tapping on the floor. "Well? I'm waiting."

At that exact moment, Katie burst through the garage door. She looked frazzled, and when she saw everything was alright, looked miffed I had handled it without her. "When did he calm down?"

"About a minute ago," I replied.

"Okay. Are you going to tell him?"

"Of course."

"Fine." And with that, she plopped down into the corner. And so I began my explanation. Again.
