The next morning, I woke up and, to my surprise, Dad was sitting on the edge of my bed with Max snuggled in his huge hands.

I gulped in air. My stomach felt unsettled as I gazed into Dad’s dark brown eyes.

“So, Mom tells me you found this little guy in the wild,” he said in a deep serious tone.

I almost choked on my spit, I was so nervous. I cleared my throat and replied, “Yes, sir.”

As Dad was talking about why wild animals shouldn’t be pets, my ears started to tingle and then I heard that static sound just like I did the night before. I couldn’t help but tune in. The sound was unfamiliar and was coming from the far corner of my bedroom window. Max must have heard it too because his little head turned in the same direction. Both of our eyes zoomed in on a small black spider making its way down my window.

Klee klee! Klee klee! Max called.

“Hey, little guy. What’s wrong?” Dad asked, petting his head.
