Its the last five minutes of school everyone keeps looking at the clock… as soon as the bell ring everyone rushes out the door and runs to their locker. There were a bunch of people screaming, people ran onto the busses as fast as they can. When the bus stops at my house… I run off the bus to the house and into the kitchen, where my dad and jordian were sitting.
“Hey guys!” I say as I run into the kitchen.
“Hey sweetie.” Dad says to me. “How was your last day of school?”
“It was amazing!!” I say. “We didn’t have to learn anything we just had fun in all the classes, we got to draw all over the chalk boards in our classes.
“Well that sounds really fun sweetie.” Dad says as he walks into the living room and makes himself and comfortable spot on the couch in front of the TV. I walk into my room and run over to the computer and get onto facebook for the first time since mom died, when I open my computer and I saw a note from mom… with a picture of me and her, when I was a baby. When I saw the picture I bursted into tears. Jordain comes into the room and sits down on the bed next to me.
“Hey baby sis whats wrong?” Jordain says while she reaches her hand around my shoulder giving me a hug.
“I miss mom…” I say as I lifted the picture off from the bed and showed jordain.
“I think we all miss her.” Jordain says. “But just remember that god only takes the that he believes are ready to join him in heaven.”
“But what if he was wrong? What if mom wasn’t ready? What if?”
“He’s never wrong… and if mom wasn’t ready than he had a good reason to take her from us.” Jordain says as she walks to the door. “Hey why don’t you get ready for supper dad is almost done cooking.” She leaves the room. I sat on my bed looking at the photo for a few more minutes, then I went downstairs to join everyone for supper.
“Hey sissy.” Suzan says to me as I sat down at the table.
“Hey little one, how was your last day of school?” I say in reply
“It was good!” Suzan says as she reaches out for the first piece of food. For most of supper we all sat in complete silence, we would have small conversations here and there. After supper we all went our separate ways, I went into the living room to watch some TV, Dad went outside to the garage, Suzan and Jordain went to there rooms.
Shortly after we went to bed, the was a loud noise coming for suzan’s room… we all ran into the room and saw suzan’s window broken and she was missing… there was no trace of anyone there. Dad ran downstairs and grabbed the gun just in cases.
“Kaitlynn!!” He screams as he is running down the stairs. “Call the cops.” I ran to the nearest phone and called the cops. “Jordain ran next door and see if they seen anything.” As soon as dad says that she runs out the door and to the neighbors house. A few minutes later the cops showed up at the house.
“Hello sir.” They say as they walk up to my dad. “So what is happening here?”
“We were all going to bed, then we heard a loud noise coming from my daughters room and the window was smashed and she was missing.” Dad says as he is in tears, and freaking out. “Please find out who took and where my daughter is.”
“Calm down sir, we will find you daughter.” The police officer says. “We just need the most recent picture of her, and I need to know what she was wearing last..”
“Okay officer, well here the most recent picture I have of her, and last I knew she was wearing her monkey pajamas, they have monkeys all over them.”
“How old is your daughter sir?”
“She is four years old, please find her as soon as possible, and please keep me updated on what you find.”
“Okay sir thank you and as soon as we find something out about hr we will give you a call.”
“Okay thank you sir, I really appreciate it.” Dad said as the cop gets into his car and they head out to look for suzan. We stared down the until they were no longer in site, then we went inside. None of us went to our rooms we all stayed by the phone waiting and waiting for it to ring saying that they found her and they were in their way with here. We sat there for about five minutes than we went into he living room and sat on the couch. A few minutes of silence the phone rang, as soon as we heard the phone ring we darted over to the phone and picked it up.
“Hello.” My dad says as he put the phone up to his ear.
“I know were your daughter is…. shes with me and if you want her back you have to follow these steps and do as I stay when i say it….” Before my dad could say anything the line went dead. My dad called the cops as soon as possible. He told the cops about the phone call, the cops told him that they will come over and trace the number. When they arrived I went into my room, but i heard what they were talking about. When they went to track the number they tracked it to a phone booth two blocks away from the house. They sent cops down that way, and when they did there was no sign of any one, they asked around and everyone said they didn’t see anything suspicious going on. When the cops came back they stayed for a little while. About five minutes later the phone rang, the cops told us to pick it up and to put it on speaker phone.
“Hello..” Dad said
“Your daughter is missing you… shes a very pretty child… if you want her follow my directions… go to the county store, near the bakery…” The phone was slammed down in my dad ears. The cops and my dad went to the country store, and there was nobody there but the baker… we showed him a picture of suzan.
“Have you seen her here tonight?” The officer asked the baker.
“Yeah she was just here with a tall man, he ordered some food.” The baker said.
“Did you get a name or last name or a description of the man?
“Yeah his last name was West, he was a tall man with short brown hair, he was wearing a brown carhartt jacket, and the little girl was wearing little monkey pajamas.” I instantly knew who the man was.
“Daddy…” I say.
“Yes sweetie.” My dad replied
“I know who the man is… its suzan’s real dad, Danny West.”
“Do you know where he lives or anything about his family and where they live?” The officers job in.
“Yes, he doesn’t live too far from here. I can show you where he lives.” So we leave the store and I show them where Danny lives. Danny was at his house and so was Suzan… When the cops brought her out of the house, my dad ran up to her and picked her up and he started to cry. I was so happy that we found Suzan. This night was the scariest night of my life.
