Outlaw Cloaks #5

Wing fell asleep again, still somewhat tired due to his treacherous voyage through the desert.
Several hours later, he awoke, a little calmer than the last time. However, the perky young nurse was nowhere to be seen, and in her place was a young man wearing a strange yellow cloak, who looked to be around 17. He sat directly across from Wing, hands folded, and a straight face.
“Hey, what happened to the nurse?” asked Wing to the yellow cloaked man.
“Her shifts over. I’ll be taking care of you for the time being.”he said, somewhat tiredly.
“Oh, ok. Maybe you can answer my questions. Where am I?”
“You’re in the spectrum.”
“What’s that?” said Wing dumbfoundedly.
“I dunno, kid. What is it?” questioned the man.
“Ok, this is all REALLY weird, so, I think I’m just gonna be on my way…”
“No. You can’t leave anymore,” stated the man.
“And why’s that?”
“Because. The Spectrum is calling out for you. And I think you’ll want to listen.”
