Synopsis
CHAPTER 11 : CAPTAIN NOBODY FACES A FEAR
1.

Newt runs home after he realises that his parents still do not know about
Captain Nobody and he does not want to get weird reaction from them.
2.
As he is running, Cecil summons for Captain Nobody and thinking he is
joking, Newt just ignores it.
3.
Although feeling reluctant, Newt decides to respond to the call and meet
Cecil at the corner of Wareen and Kander streets.
4.
Cecil leads their way, together with a wagon, passing by Dumpsters and
garbage cans until they stop at one point.
5.
There is a big bass drum which has been thrown away, sitting on the of the
Dumpster that catches Cecils attention.
6.
Feeling determined to own the drum, Cecil is feeling hopeful that Captain
Nobody will lend his hands to get it down from the top of he Dumpster.
7.
Newt is afraid of heights. So, he suggests Cecil to be the one who should
climb the Dumpster.
8.
After Cecil makes it clear that the job is meant for the fearless Captain
Nobody, Newt changes his mind.
9.
Captain Nobody climbs on and carefully passes the drum to his sidekick,
Cecil who is waiting with open arms on the ground.
10. As Captain Nobody is about to settle down, he screams his lungs out
when a hand suddenly comes out from the pile of cardboard boxes and grabs
him by his ankle.

Synopsis
CHAPTER 13 : DAD MEETS CAPTAIN NOBODY
1.

Newt heads home and gets excited when he sees his fathers car
in the driveway.
2. In the kitchen, Dad meets Captain Nobody for the first time.
3. A moment after that, Dad starts to apologise to Newt because he
has received several calls from the school.
4. After the meeting in the Principals office, the people from
school think that Captain Nobody appears in school because he is
so upset about his brothers condition.
5. Newt tries his very best to reason with Dad about being
Captain Nobody outside the house.
6. Dad feels relieved after Newt manages to assure him that he is
still being himself and his alter ago is just some sort of
confidence booster.
7.
Dad even takes a photo of Captain Nobody and sends it to Mom.
8. Suddenly, the walkie-talkie squeals in the middle of their
conversation.
9. Cecil makes contact just to ask a silly favour from Captain
Nobody and Newt, who is in disbelief, starts to make a weird
sound through the walkie-talkie as if the device is running out of
battery.
10. As Newt is about to sleep, Dad tells him that Mom is having a
good laugh about Captain Nobody and she starts showing the
image to everybody in the hospital.

11.

Dad explains about the current situation and hospital

procedures that they need to follow and he assures Newt will be
the first one to visit if the situation improves.

Importance event
1.Captain Nobody foils a robbery.

JJ gives Newt an emergency call on the walkie-talkie. She is upset about the
spelling mistakes on the signs outside Sullivans Jewelry Store. She insists that
Captain Nobody (Newt) talk to Mr & Mrs Sullivan about this.

Captain Nobody enters the store when a robber is actually pointing a hidden gun
at the Sullivans. This creates a distraction which gives Mrs Sullivan the chance to
press the alarm and alert the police.

The robber flees. The news is widely reported on television. Everyone wants to
know more about Captain Nobody, but Newt is not hungry for publicity.

2.Captain Nobody prevents an air crash

Newt and his friends are taking the mascot Ferocious the Ferret to Newts
home. On the way, they are confronted by Ricky Ratner and his seventh-grade
gang. In the struggle between the two groups, the door of the cage springs open
and the ferret springs out.

Newt and his friend chase after it to get it back. The ferret runs across the freeway
and back several times with Newt chasing it. All traffic comes to a standstill.

By coincidence, a small airplane with passengers has engine failure and needs a
clear track for an emergency landing. The pilot sees the cleared freeway and
manages to make a safe landing. All lives are saved. Again the news is widely
reported and the public interest in the mysterious Captain Nobody grows to an
intense level.

3.Captain Nobody rescues Reggie Ratner

There is a city-wide public alarm that Reggie Ratner has climbed the Appleton
Water Tower to jump to his death. Captain Nobody climbs to the top of the tower
to tell Reggie that he knows the truth that it is not Reggie who has collided with
Chris.

Newt learns that Reggies purpose in climbing the tower is not to commit suicide.
He helps to free Reggies foot which is stuck in a hole on the rooftop.

Both make the descent in full view of the crowd below. Newt lands first, followed
by 280-pound Reggie who lands on him, causing him to break his leg and two rib
bones. Newt is place in the hospital with Chris, his brother who is still in a coma.
