I was forced to stare in shock as Bernie Sanders was welcomed by Barron's secret service, who pushed him away from Barron, and dragged him outside the school.

He was yelling something about how America needs a president who cares for all the people, not just one percent, and how he would turn Barron's room into a private sauna.
What the..

I stood there for a moment, shocked at first.

What has just happened ?
I asked myself, frozen in place.
Why would he do that ?
Just then, I remembered Barron. I turned around, and saw him touching his cheek gently, shocked. His lower lip quivered.

No, no, no.

I walked towards him, and wrapped my arms around him in a tight, soothing embrace.
"it's okay..are you hurt ?"
It took him a long moment. I waited patiently, gently rubbing his back.
"no. I'm fine."

I hugged him tighter.

...

"why did you come ? Did you want to tell me something ?"
He asked, glancing at me softly as we sat in the limo, heading back to the location.

"no, not really. I saw that you were acting weird again, and I followed you. That's all."
I explained, smiling wholeheartedly after.

He nodded at me, smiling.

But I could tell that he wasn't really happy. Probably because of what Sanders did, or probably because I was being overprotective. His cheeks were bright red, and his eyes were sad. That made me upset.

"you know..you don't have to pay attention to what Sanders said. He's just jealous of your dad, and what he has."
He nodded, and hugged me again.

Later That Day :

I was helping Hayden with some of those 'important' paperwork. Rajwan and Nabil were talking about something I couldn't hear, and Allison was texting someone. Rush, definitely.

Just then, the new male cleaner passed by, ready to leave. I glanced at him while he did, and suddenly I drifted off.
I felt a sense of déjà vu. It was like I had seen that guy before, not directly maybe, but I should've recognized him. That's what my brain told me.

Where did I see him? Where, where, where ?
Then it hit me.

I glanced at him again, directly in the eyes. He cut the eye contact short, and turned away.
I touched Hayden's hand gently as I got up, and walked over to the cleaner.

"do you think we can talk, outside ?"
I offered nervously. He barely nodded, stunned. Yeah, I could probably guess what he was thinking about. I mean, why would I need to talk to a cleaner at the same moment when he was leaving ?

We walked outside the location.
I stopped at some point, when I thought that it was quiet enough.

"listen.."
I thought for a moment. What should I say ?
I wanted to tell him everything I know.
That it was him who put all those Goosebumps books around the location. That it was him who I saw once at a writers' conference.

That he was R.L Stine.
