chapter one- my mission
I walked into the place where I was meeting my boss. I knew immediately that he had an important mission for me.
"Please, sit." He said. I sat down in the chair across from him. "I am giving you the most important mission I have ever given anyone. If you fail this mission, I'll be extremely grieved. You must watch my four kids for three days while I'm away."
"Why can't your wife watch them?" I asked him.
"I thought you knew that my wife died seven months ago," my boss said sadly.
"I'm very sorry, I didn't." I said softly.
"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. Now, do you accept the mission?" He asked me.
"Of course," I said smiling at him. He handed me a folder with everything I needed to know about the kids inside of it. I left the room, looking back at his sad face once more.
I arrived at my bosses house and stared at the beautiful mansion for a brief moment before walking up to the door and knocking on it. A boy, who I guessed to be fourteen, opened the door.
"Dad, there's a lady is at the door!" The boy shouted. My boss came down the stairs looking quite frantic.
Marco, have you seen my briefcase?" My boss asked the boy. So that was his name, Marco.
"It's on the table," Marco said before walking away.
"So what is this mission for?" I asked Steve. (Which was my bosses name)
"That's classified," Steve said. He winked at me before heading out the door. I watched as Steve drove away then went to find Marco, hoping he could introduce me to the three other kids. I finally found him in what I assumed was the living room.
"Can you get everyone else and tell them to come here?" I asked Marco.
"Sure." Marco said. In five minutes all four kids were sitting on the couch. I already knew Marco was fourteen so I asked everyone else for their names and ages. Lindsey was thirteen and had beautiful blonde hair. Then there was Tim, who was eight and looked like a very happy person. Last, there was Fiona, who was three and had the most adorable face I'd ever seen.
"It's very nice to meet you all!" I said, smiling at the kids. "Ill make sure that we have a lot of fun!"
Fiona climbed into my lap and smiled up at me.
"Daddy was right, you are pretty," Fiona said happily.
"Your dad said that about me!" I asked in surprise.
"No!Fiona says that to everyone!" Lindsey said, pulling Fiona off my lap. I was surprised to find that I was disappointed.
"What do you guys want for dinner?" I asked the kids.
"Pizza!" All the kids shouted.
"Ok, How much pizza can you guys eat?"
"We all eat a lot but Marco could probably eat twelve pieces!" Tim said joyfully. I started laughing then all the kids joined in on my laughter. I ordered five boxes of pizza hoping it would be enough. When the pizza came, I was amazed to see Marco eat fifteen pieces, Lindsey and Tim both eat ten pieces, and Fiona eat four pieces! These kids really could eat a lot! After everyone was done eating, I looked at the time. It was 7:05, there was still enough time to watch a movie before the kids bedtime at 9:30. I asked the kids what movie they wanted to watch and after a few minutes of "discussion" they chose to watch toy story.
"How do you turn the tv on?" I asked Marco. He grabbed the remote from off a shelf and then pointed to a red button.
"This is the ON button. You push it." Marco said smiling at his joke.
"Ok, how about YOU get the movie started." I told Marco while laughing. I had never been good with devices of any kind. Yup, that's right. I was twenty-five and I still had not mastered the skill of working a tv.
