One night, Old Stan Cross dreamed that the police in the entire town and all neighboring villages were searching for his friend Barry. They were plastering wanted posters everywhere. Wanted! The bold, black letters on the posters seemed to scream. Dead or alive! Suddenly, Stan felt a hand on his shoulder, and he jolted awake. It was still early, before dawn. He looked down the bed. No! It wasn't a dream—it was real! Lying on the floor beside his bed was a person, the one who was wanted.
