I drove there and saw a mansion. I saw a car, a big black pickup truck, parked outside. I saw a man and woman take my parents inside, they were bound and gagged. I called the police. When they came, we went in. We walked through a lot of rooms until I realized I knew my way around this place. I also found out that the house had been empty since the accident, so obviously it was very dusty. More than 20 years without being cleaned makes a lot of dust. Anyway, I remembered that there was a secret room, one that was supposed to be used for emergencies, it had a lot of things in it, including food, water, and clothes. I told the detective who was closest to me about the secret room. As we went there, I remembered that there was also a gun in there, used for when there was a thief or intruder. I just hoped that they wouldn't find it and that if they did, they wouldn't shoot. As we were about to open the door, we heard a gunshot, from inside. As they opened the door, I prepared myself for a shock, but I still couldn't believe what I saw.
