The Hitting Zone

We waited in the car for Mom and Zeke to come out. Once they were in the car, we took off. At the break of dawn, there weren't too many places we could go to beside the diner that Zeke has taken me to a couple of times now.

"Did everything turn out okay?" Dad asked his two accomplices.

Mom nodded. "Cutting the tape beforehand really helped."

"Tape?" I asked. What did they need tape for? And why did it need to be prepared beforehand?

Noah woke up as sunlight started to leak into his room. As he slowly blinked, getting used to the light, he suddenly realized it was morning! Late morning! His run with Zeke! He fought off his sheets and jumped out of bed.

He changed in a rush and hurried out, but ran into resistance. When he opened his bedroom door and tried to go out, he ran right into an invisible wall. On closer inspection, he realized it was clear duct tape. Covering his whole doorway.
