It was the 5th of September 2003.

I was playing in the living room. I lived in a big house in Bloomfield Hills in Michigan with my mom and dad. My mom was sweet and caring she was at home for me all the time. My dad was at work but when he came home in the evening we all had delicious dinner together. Because my moms' cooking was the best, you could blame that on her Latin origin.

"Sweetheart, Dinner is ready" my mom said. "But mommy why is daddy not here yet we can't start without daddy! We never do".

"I know I know, don't worry he will be home any minute! Will you just get the plates already".

"Fine mom". With that I ran into the kitchen to get the plates. I made sure everything was in place there was a plate, a glass, with a napkin for every one of us.

Just when is finish I heard the door click. I jump up and ran towards the front door. The moment I saw my dad I jumped in his arms.

"Hello my beautiful daughter, what a lovely welcome is this".

"Hi daddy I missed you"

I murmured in his jacket.

"I missed you too sweetheart, have you been a good girl to mommy?" When I jumped back on the ground my mom appears in the hall. "Hmm let's see Katherina Maria Cohon have you been a good girl?" My mom looks at me with a grin on her face. I look back at her with big eyes "uh I hope so...".

"Of course you have been my darling. But let's all get to the dining room because dinner is ready".

I skip towards the dining room and get in my seat. It looks so good my mound starts watering. I am about to steal a little bite of chicken from the pan in the middle when my mom interrupts me.

"No no no young lady I don't think so. Aren't we forgetting something? We don't start eating until we have said our grace".

We all held hands so we were one big circle.

"For this and all we are about to receive. Make us truly grateful, Lord. Through Christ we pray. Amen"

we said in union.

"So does anyone have a special prayer tonight?" Mom asked. "I am very grateful for this all and that we are healthy and well together here. I just want to say that I am the happiest man alive to life with the two people I love most. Thank you lord" my dad said.

"Do you have anything to say honey?" "Hmm yes. I want to thank god for keeping us safe and well. And I want to thank him for my mommy and daddy because I love them very much. Oh oh and, thank you for the delicious food". I said with a smile.

So we may eat now. Finally I would have fainted if I had to wait one more minute. During dinner we talked about a lot of little things like my upcoming dance performance and school. Everything was great and it was a perfect night. My school was always good I was on top of the list, best of our class. I was a straight A-student. My parents are very proud and that makes me happy I am very smart. But I still work hard to keep a perfect score.

After dinner I helped mom with cleaning up and putting everything back in place. Dad was in the living-room relaxing in front of the tv when it happened.

I remember this day like it was yesterday.

The frond-door smashed open and a window crashed. I heard men walking in the house yelling to search the place. My mom and I panicked. She told me to go in the closet under the sink. Tears welled up in my eyes and blurred my vision. My mom pushed me in the kitchen cabinet and told me "stay as quiet as you can. Just know that daddy and I never wanted this to happen. I am sorry sweetheart. Everything will be alright. Just know that mommy and daddy love you". I heard people coming closer. Mom closed the door and leaned on it with her back pressed against it. When the men came in they grasped my mom and threw her on the ground. More men came in the kitchen; one of them had my dad with a gun against his temple. My mom screamed and they slapped her so hard her head bounced against the countertop. Blood was oozing out of her head. I was still trying to be as quiet as possible. But I could still follow everything from behind the little hole in the door of the closet. One of the man screamed "where is big boss?" At that moment big man with an expensive looking suite came in. He walked up to my dad and said "hello there nice seeing you again. We have got some unfinished business. Just before I kill you and your beautiful wife i have a very urgent question for you. I need to know where the safe with the 20 million dollar is from your dear friend Fernando, who sadly died just one hour ago".

"I I have no idea. I am not in this business anymore. Please I have nothing to do with this please leave us alone. I am begging you". My dad said. "Well well well if that is so we don't need you anymore do we". With that he that he pulled the trigger of his gun aimed at my dads head. I heard a loud scream of my mother and saw my dad die right in frond of me. his lifeless body was laying on the ground with blood oozing out of his scone. The next this I know two men grab my mom with a knife on her throat. "So beautiful lady you wouldn't know anything about this money either would you". The only thing my mom did was cry. This was enough for one of the man holding her to cut her throat with the knife. The last thing she did was looking at me. Even-though I knew she couldn't see me. She had to know I saw everything and aimed her last look at me. More men came in the kitchen the boss asked if the rest of the house was clear. All of the men left and thought that the house was empty. Little did they know that there was a little girl of 10 years old in the house who saw everything single thing. And little did they know that letting her life would be the biggest mistake of their life's.
