The Stepdad

The bullets came peering through so I ran behind a car while my heart kept beating out my chest. I don't know where Brianna and Michael went.

The car slowly turned the corner and I cursed unspder my breath. So I slowly slid under the car and took out the pieces so the car won't start.

The people came out with the guns looking for us. I hardly started breathing. They checked every corner and spotted no one. Then they started leaving.

I quietly let out a sigh of relief as they left. I hardly peeked my head out the car to see if they left. And they drove straight down.

I slowly slid out from under the car and looked her Brianna and Michael. But no sign of them. Why would they leave me like that ?

I hopped back into my car and drove back home. I kept thinking about where they would go and they didn't tell me. I hope they are okay.

I finally got home and pulled into the gargage and turned off the car. I glanced at the clock and seen 9:17. Seems early enough.

"Renee I'm home." I yelled in the house.

"I'm in here." she replied.

"Where ?"

"Kitchen."

I walked into the kitchen and she looked like she stuffed herself up. I walked to the fridge looking for food, but there was none.

"So you forgot I live here ?"

"Sorry. You haven't known me long enough to know I like to eat."

"That ain't cute."

"I know. It's a turn-off."

It was still no sign of Brianna and Michael. I decided to tell Renee since it was her mother. We searched the whole city and couldn't find them. We stopped for some food and we spotted them.

They glanced at us and started speed walking. We kept walking faster and they ran. But too fast.

Brianna

No no no. We can't let them know. Rodrick said it was a secrect. We have to hide from them so they won't find out. Rodrick said if we see them, run away. We must hide and keep no contact. It is a secret. Shhhhhhhhhhhh.
