Read the passage. Throughout his childhood, James had heard rumors about the old man who lived across the street, Mr. Gray. As a joke, the kids in the neighborhood would ring his doorbell, then hide behind the bushes and gleefully snicker at him when he answered and found no one there.

One evening last summer, James saw Mr. Gray standing outside on his porch. His clothes were wrinkled and his hat was torn. The neighborhood kids claimed that he had been kidnapped by spies after inventing a secret radar device. For a moment, the old man met Jimmy’s stare, and time seemed to stand still.
