On a late March evening, there was knock at the door that night. Mrs. Joan; my babysitter had gotten up from her chair and away from that novel she was reading to answer the door. I was supposed to be asleep with my younger siblings, Joey and Anna-they're twins, but I couldn't sleep. Watching Mrs. Joan from the top of the stairs, she opened the door to a police officer.
"Hello Officer." Mrs. Joan said with a slight shake in her voice.
"Good evening Mrs. Joan. Do you have three small children?" the officer asked
"I do. I'm watching Mr. and Mrs. Bradley children; Charlotte, Joey and Anna." she replied
"Mhm, I see." he said, "I came to report to you that Mr. and Mrs. Bradley have been in an accident"
I could not see Mrs. Joan's face, but I heard her gasp and start to cry. I ran down the stairs and hugged her leg. When she and the officer saw me, they didn't say anything or so anything, they just looked at me. Mrs. Joan bent down, and hugged me. She cried and said 'I'm sorry baby.' I didn't understand why she was sorry. She just held me close in the open door way with the officer watching us.
