I did my normal morning routine but the only difference about it was I am in a different house with different people. The people I'm living with right now are the ones I am stuck with. It took a year for someone to actually adopt me because of my history. I'm actually happy they adopted me but I need to do something to pay them back for it. I don't know what it will be yet but I'll know soon. I walked out of the bathroom and down the hall to my room. I was about to walk into my room but there was this one room. It was full of kids' stuff and had two beds in it. I didn't know why they have this room because I was the only kid in the house, and they never had anyone over that had kids. I never bothered to ask them about it but I think I will today. I stopped looking at the room at the end of the hall and walked into my messy room. I started to pick up the books I had all over the floor. Next, I pick up my clothes and put them in my basket. I didn't have trash on the floor. I would never dare to leave trash on the floor. After I was done cleaning the floor I started to make my bed. I grab some of my stuffed animals and put them on the bookshelf with the others. I fixed my blanket and pillows. I cleaned off my desk and organized it. It took me at least 20 minutes to clean my room. I went over to my closet and grab a red checks shirt and an orange short jacket. I put both of them on and then went to my dresser that I had painted all over. I opened the middle drawer and grabbed my shorts that had teal lines down them. I put them on and then grab my dark teal shoes. I sat on the bed and put them on. I grab my purple scarf and green beanie off the side of the TV. I put them both on then put on my duck and star hair clips on. I put my cross earring on and then grabbed my green glasses and walked out of the room turning the lights off behind me. I walked down the stairs and walked into the kitchen where Max and Lily were sitting. "Good morning Mr. and Mrs. Green." I said to them. "Good morning dear." Lily said to me as she handed me a plate of food. "You know you can call us by our names or mom and dad," she said sitting down next to Max. "I know I can but I'm not ready to yet," I said to her before I started eating. "Whenever you're ready you can," Max said putting down his phone. "So what are you going to do today dear?" Lily asked me with a smile on her face. "Well first I have to go to school then after school, I'm going to head over to my job and then back here." I said to her. "When you get home do you want to go out for dinner?" She asked me. I could see in here as she was hoping I said yes. "Sure I would love to," I said to her with a smile. I could see she was happy. I watched her look at Max and grabbed his hand. "Max dear can you please come with us?" She asked him. I could see the sadness in his eyes but I didn't know why. "I'll come with y'all. He said to her as he faked a smile. "I have a question for both of you," I said to them. "What is it dear?" Lily said. "The empty room at the end of the hall upstairs. Who's room is that?" I asked. I could see the sadness full Lily's eyes as I said that. "We had two kids and that was their room." Max said looking me in the eyes. "Where are they now?" I asked him. "They went missing years ago." Lily said. "Would now be a good time to tell you guys what my job is?" I asked both of them. "Wait your right you never told us your job." Max said. "You both already know I killed someone in the past but that was for my job." I said to them. I could see a little shock but not much come from them. "I get paid to hunt people down and then kill them. Don't worry I have a rule where I don't kill anyone under 18." I said to them. "What if the people are innocent?" Lily asked me. "I do my research before I accept the job." I said to them. "Are you trying to find anyone right now?" Max asked. "I actually am. I know this person too. She is the one that killed my family and she seems to have kidnapped some kids years ago. I'm going out tomorrow to look for her." I said sitting back in my sit. "Well, I hope you found her and help those kids," Lily said with a smile. "Me too," I said back to her.

I get home late that night because I was helping my boss out with cleaning the place. There was police car outside the house. I parked my car and ran up to the house. I stopped and ask a police officer where my parents are. I was a point to the ambulance car. I went over there and saw dad getting help while mom was talking to one of the cops. I waited for her to stop talking to the cops. When she was done she walked over to me. "Hey Honey," she said in a sad tone. "Mom, what happened?" I asked her. "Do you remember your aunt Sally?" She asked me. "The crazy lady? Yea I remember her." I said. "Well, she came over today, and instead of talking she decided she would try to shoot me but your father got in the way." She said. I could see in her eyes she was scared of what I would do about the problem here. "Good thing I put her on my list three weeks ago!" I said. "What list dear?" Mother asked me. "Well, I have a list of people I'm hunting down," I said to her with a smile. "And why is she on your list?" She asked me. I could hear curiousness in her voice. "Why I found the lady that took your kids and well Sally here hired the lady to take them," I said to her. She looks at me with pure shock. Then I hear dad yell after I said that. "WHAT!" Dad yelled. "You heard me, father," I said looking right at him. "You better hunt the bitch down son!" He said to me in an angry voice. "Of course father," I said with an evil tone.

It took me only four months to track both Abby and Sally down, but I was going after Abby first.
