The Pacifier

Chapter 4

"That's a pretty dress" Ms. Plummer said to Helga. "Thank you. I have date with butcher tonight. I want to look nice" Helga said before Tyler threw up on her.

She screamed and called him something in a different language.

Soon Julie took us into the kitchen. "You have a pleasant family" my dad said, setting his coat down. "Well, for the younger ones, I think it hasn't really sunk in yet. It's been hardest on Zoe and Seth. But they don't like to talk about it" Mrs. Plummer said. "Well, it must be hard on all of you" my dad said, sitting down while I stood next to him. "Well, Howard wasn't around much. His work took him all over the world. He'd be gone six, seven months at a time" she said. "Yeah, Sam and I can understand that lifestyle" my father said.

"Anyway, about a week ago, someone broke into the house. No one was home. I didn't tell the kids 'cause I didn't wanna scare them" Julie said.

"Mrs. Plummer, I've delt with...Oh my God!" My Dad said as he was bit by a duck. I pet the duck on the table, and surprisingly it didn't bite me. "I'm sorry . That's Gary. He was Howard's. Gary down" Julie said. I just petted Gary again and whispered to him 'good Gary'.

I don't know if my dad heard me, or if he was still astonished by what just had happened but he said "he bit me". "He thinks he's a guard dog" Julie said while taking Gary off of the counter and on the floor. "Mrs. Plummer?" My Dad asked. "Oh, call me Julie, please" Julie said. "I'm gonna go outside and have a look around" my dad said, and turned to me.

"Sam, you need to go put our stuff in our room. When your done, come outside and help me with the security procedures" he ordered. "Yes sir" I said, then grabbed his bag and mine and headed up the stairs to our room. I found the guest room and set our stuff down before leaving the room to head outside.

"Hey" I heard someone say as I was about to go down the stairs. "Oh, hi" I said turning around to see Julie's oldest son, Seth right in front of me. "Your name is Samantha, right" he asked me. "Um, yeah. But I would rather go by Sam" I said turning around and about to go down the stairs, when he grabbed my arm and turned me to face him. "How long are you and your dad going to be here, Sam" Seth asked me, letting go of my arm. "Uh, until your mom gets back. So probably only two days. I really have to go help my dad, so bye" I said running down the stairs, not noticing that my skirt had flipped up and back down...and that Seth had seen it, and how his face flushed whenever he saw it.

I walked outside and helped my dad with the security of the house perimeter. We put cameras in and outside of the house, a passcode on the back door, and bolted the windows shut. I got a little anxious when we did that in Seth's room. I don't think my dad noticed, but I sure knew I did.
