It's been a while since we've heard from Little Em'ly, but now he's back in town. He's glad to see his brother, who's a little freaked out by the whole "Hey, what's going on?" thing. He tells his brother that he'll be sorry if he gets hurt, but he'd be even more sorry if they got into a fight. The two of them run into each other in the street, and the boy asks his brother to hide so he won't be seen. The boy's mother is sick, and he went to the hospital to check on her, but the police officer on duty couldn't figure out where he was. The police officer went to investigate, but no one was able to find him. So now the boy is afraid of tall, adult men, and his family doesn't know what to do with him.
