Elon Musk was exhausted after a long day filled with meetings, phone calls, and endless decisions. He just wanted to sit back, relax, and enjoy a quiet evening. As he stepped out onto his back porch, something caught his attention near the back of his enormous yard. Something was moving in the shadows. There were four boys right in his yard, crouched by the bushes, heads close together as if they were hiding something. At first, Elon thought they might be playing or perhaps lost, but the way they were sneaking around made him suspicious. Why were they in his yard at this time of night? His house was protected by top-notch security, so how did they even get in?

Elon frowned, his body tensing. Should he call security? No, not yet. He wanted to see what they were up to first. He decided to approach them quietly without alerting them. Moving cautiously, he stepped down from the porch and began walking toward the boys, his feet barely making a sound on the grass. As he got closer, his curiosity deepened. The boys hadn’t noticed him yet; they were too focused on whatever they were doing. Elon could see their hands moving quickly as if they were working on something, but what? His heart beat faster as he got closer, the tension building with every step.

Suddenly, one of the boys looked up, his eyes widening in fear when he saw Elon approaching. “Run!” the boy whispered urgently. In a flash, the boys scattered, bolting towards the fence at the back of the yard. They moved so fast that Elon didn’t have time to shout or stop them. Within seconds, they were gone, disappearing into the night like ghosts. Elon stood there, stunned. What had just happened? Why had they been in his yard, and why did they run the moment they saw him? He couldn’t shake the uneasy feeling settling in his chest. What were those boys doing?

He walked over to the spot where the boys had been crouching. The grass was slightly trampled, but nothing seemed out of place at first. Then he saw it: on the ground, in a small pile, were some odd objects—plastic spoons, old sticks, a few bits of wire, and a small plastic bottle. It looked like junk. Elon crouched down and inspected the items closely. What could they possibly have been doing with this stuff? It didn’t make any sense. His mind raced with questions. Were they trying to pull a prank, or was this some kind of strange game? But then he noticed something else: there were tiny holes in the ground around the pile of objects, as if the boys had been digging or planting something. A chill ran down his spine. What were they up to?

Elon stood there for a moment, staring at the strange collection of objects. His mind raced with possibilities. Maybe these boys were up to something more serious; maybe they weren’t just playing a game. He needed to know more. Determined to find out, he turned and jogged toward the fence where the boys had disappeared. His property was large, but Elon was in decent shape, and he figured they couldn’t have gone far. As he reached the fence, he spotted movement in the distance—just a flicker of shadows disappearing into the woods behind his house. Without thinking, he gave chase. He wasn’t sure why he felt so compelled to follow them, but something about the whole situation didn’t sit right with him. The tension in his chest grew with every step. Who were these boys, and what were they doing on his property?

As he ran, the sound of his footsteps echoed through the quiet night. The trees loomed ahead, dark and forbidding, but Elon didn’t slow down. He wasn’t sure what he’d do if he caught up with the boys, but he had to know what they were hiding. The woods were thick, and the branches scraped against his arms as he pushed through them. His breath came in heavy gasps, but he kept going. Ahead of him, he could hear faint whispers; the boys were close. Finally, after what felt like hours of running, Elon burst through a clearing and spotted the boys huddled together by a large tree. They hadn’t seen him yet. He crouched down, hiding behind a nearby bush. He could hear their voices now, clearer than before.

“We have to finish it,” one of the boys whispered urgently. “If we don’t, he’ll find out what we were doing.” Elon’s pulse quickened. What were they talking about? What did they mean by “finish it”? He strained to hear more, but before he could move closer, one of the boys looked up and spotted him. “It’s him! Run!” the boy shouted. Once again, the boys scattered, disappearing into the trees. Elon stood frozen, unsure whether to chase them or confront them directly. But before he could make up his mind, they were gone, swallowed by the darkness of the woods. His mind raced with questions. What were they so scared of? What were they trying to hide? And why were they so determined to finish something in his yard?

Elon stood in the woods, catching his breath, his mind spinning with questions. What had he stumbled into? Why were these boys so secretive and afraid of being caught? Reluctantly, he turned and made his way back to his house, retracing his steps through the darkened yard. When he reached the spot where the boys had been earlier, he crouched down again, looking more carefully at the strange items they had left behind. There had to be a clue here, something he had missed. Suddenly, a thought hit him: maybe the boys weren’t trying to harm his property; maybe they were doing something good, something important. But what?

Elon stared at the small holes in the ground, and then almost instinctively, he began to dig. He used his hands, moving the dirt aside. After a few moments, he felt something solid beneath the surface. His heart pounded as he pulled it out of the ground. It was a small homemade device, a tiny contraption made of plastic and wire. It looked like some sort of sensor, but it wasn’t anything professional. In fact, it looked like something a group of kids might have built in their garage. But why was it buried in his yard? Then it clicked: these boys weren’t up to no good; they were trying to build something, something that required hiding from him. But why hide? Why not just tell him?
