"Where's mommy?" I ask my brother, on the verge of tears.
"I don't know; maybe she's at work?" He suggests, pulling me into a protective hug.
Mommy and daddy haven't been home for forever. We woke up and they weren't here. Channie says to wait a bit longer, and he's my big brother so I listen to him. But I really miss them.
"Maybe they don't love us anymore?" I quietly say, keeping my head down.
"No no, they do! I know they do!" He shuts down my suggestion, continuing to comfort me.
Maybe if we go to sleep they'll be back?

Chan thinks I'm sleep. He's been carrying me down roads for a looong time.
It's getting dark and cold. I want mommy.
"Channie are you going to mommy?" I ask.
"Um, no-" he was cut off by a deep voice.
"What are you little ones doing all alone out here?" The man asks.
"Looking for our parents, they shouldn't be far" Chan answers, trying to back away.
Does he not like the nice man?
I pick my head up to look at him. He's not very pretty.
"You two seem very lost. Would you like to stay with me? I can look for your parents?" He says, coming closer towards us.
Chan looks at me. He seems upset. What's wrong with bubba?
"Okay, thank you sir" Chan responds, following the man down the road.
It's scary down here. Dark, icky, smelly. I want to go home.

I woke up in the man's house. Chan won't let me go.
"Come on buddy, I promise you'll have fun" The man says.
He seems mad. Uh oh.
"Channie should listen, he's mad" I whisper into his ear.
He takes a big breath and gives me a squeeze.
"Okay. Be good, I will be back" He says, setting me down on the couch.
Chan walks away with the man. I wonder where he's going? Why can't I go too?
"Hello there sweetheart!" A lady says.
Oooo, she's pretty!
"Hi miss! You're really pretty!" I answer.
"Thank you, you are such a cutie! Do you want to have some fun?" She asks.
"Yeah! Like bubba?" I answer.
"Uh, yeah, like your brother!" She replies.
"Okay!"

"Channie!" I say, running into his arms.
