They turned the corner. We were caught in the open. It was Zara Grace. "Umm... Hey guys!" She greeted. "Why are you in here?" I asked. "I wanted to see what's in here. You?" "Do you know where Lukas is?" Lorel asked "I'm so sorry." Zara Grace said, "I don't know what he looks like. All I know is that he's your dad." Lorel showed her a picture of him. "Oh. Oh!" Zara Grace exclaimed. "That was him!" "You've seen him?" Lorel asked quickly. "If you want him free," said Zara Grace, "we got to get to my house as quickly as possible." We walked out of the employee's section. "How come?" Davis questioned. "Mom kidnapped him. She never told me how. We have to get there quick." Zara Grace explained. "We've got bikes." I replied. "Good." Zara Grace said. "I have one too." Zara Grace replied. "Let's get going."

We arrived at Cassie Rose's house. We went inside, to see a little boy. "Awww! Is this your brother?" I whispered. "Yeah." Zara Grace answered. "Zara Grace?" He asked. "Hey, Carter. Stay absolutly quiet." This kid must be about two. He's so adorable! "What does quiet mean?" He yelled. Zara Grace rolled her eyes. I softly giggled. "It means no sound. So stay completely quiet, Carter." She looked over at us and said, "Follow me." We followed her down a basement. "Stay quiet." Zara Grace whispered so quietly, I had to read her lips. We walked down the stairs. I looked around. I have no idea how to get around this basement. It's dark, huge, and has tons of stuff. "Umm... Ok guys, follow me." She whispered. We followed her. I turned around to realize Lorel wasn't there. "Guys!" I whisper-shouted. "What?" Zack asked. "Lorel isn't here." I replied. "I'm just over here." I heard her say. "Ok good." Zara Grace said with relief. "Lukas is just up ahead." She is right! There is light coming out of a room. We peeked around the corner to see Lukas tied up in a chair. I saw a red-haired girl. I assumed that's Cassie Rose. "So, tell me Lukas, exactly why did you try do blame me for being a murderer." She interrogated him. "Oh let me think about it. Oh yeah! BECAUSE YOU'RE A MURDERER!!" He screeched.
Her bff irl xXDarkWarWarriorXx waz here!!!!!!
"Ok then. I'll wait 'till morning." She replied. She left from the other door. I walked in and whispered, "Lukas, we're here." "Halalujah!" He whisper-shouted. "Please, help me." We tried tearing the rope apart, but that didn't work. "I have sharp teeth, Dad. You probably know that, though." Lorel said. "Ha, yeah. Please knaw off the rope." "Sure!" Lorel knawed through the rope which set him free. "Ok, call 911, one of you." He ordered. We heard footsteps coming in. "Follow me." Lukas whispered. We followed him into a pile of boxes. I ducked behind one. But it was too short, which is the problem. I saw a larger box that I could hide inside of. I quickly ran into the box. "WHERE ARE YOU LUKAS?!?!?!" Cassie Rose yelled. I heard footsteps coming into my box. I'm so dead. I saw that it was Lukas. "Hi, stay quiet." Lukas whispered. "We can't afford to get caught." "Yeah." I replied. "LUKAS WHERE ARE YOU? I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO THE BEST PART!!" Zara Grace then came out of hiding and said, "What was the best part?" I realized that she was ok to come out of hiding. She's Cassie Rose's daughter, after all. "WHERE IS HE?" Cassie Rose screeched. "I don't know!" "Stay here. I'll go upstairs and search." Cassie Rose demanded. "Actually, I think I heard someone in the attic or near the living room." Zara Grace lied. I heard footsteps going upstairs. I got out of my hiding place with Lukas, as the others did the same. "Should I call 911?" I asked. "Yeah." Lorel replied. I dialed 911. "911 emergency?" "Hey, my friend's dad was kidnapped and we have the kidnapper right here." I said. "What's the adress?" She questioned. "Hang on I'll get that." I put my phone down and asked, "What's your adress?" "8519 Cobble Stone Avenue." She replied. I told the lady her adress. "The police are on their way. You can hang up." I hung up. "Luckily the police station isn't far from here." I heard sirens. Sirens started sounding, so I heard footsteps running down the stairs. "ZARA GRACE, WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE NEW ORDER OF THE STONE IS GOING ON?!?!" There was no reply. I figured she shrugged, or something. "I don't know!" I think she has an idea we called 911. The sirens stopped as I heard a voice yell, "COME HERE, OR WE'LL COME IN OURSELVES!!" The police have arrived. "Lukas?" "Yeah?" "Should we come out of hiding?" I ask. "Yeah, let's." So I got out of the box and announced, "Yeah, we called." "YOU WILL BE ARRESTED FOR INRUDING PROPERTY! WHY-" "Says the criminal." I inturrupt. That's when the door swung open and footsteps ran down the stairs. We all pointed at Cassie Rose and said, "She kidnapped Lukas." She was arrested, which isn't a bad thing. Then, I just realized,

Who will take care of Zara Grace? So I went up to her asked her, "Who will take care of you?" "Don't worry, I can take care of Carter and I." "Ok, then." I replied, "Just want to make sure." Zara Grace smiled. I'm glad Cassie Rose is going to jail.

But the other thing is..

Trial. And I have to be there.
