“Lex the hide and seek game is over, you can come out.” I say. As I walk downstairs, I see the back door is open and then I hear a scream “Maddie help I am being taken!” Then they get in a car and drive off, as they do tears roll down my face. I made a promise when mum and dad died that I would take care of her no matter what. Mum and dad died in a car crash. It will never ever be the same without them.
Wait we have security cameras, I can see when they broke in, where she was and their number plate. Found it, she was in the place she’s always is in. What the heck, the number plate is 174 892, that was mum and dad’s number plate. Hey! There’s that car, let’s follow it.
Ok we’re here, in we go. There’s Lex. Wait what’s happening? I hear Lex saying, “Maddie wake up.” Yay it was just a dream.
