Stolen

Chapter 5

I didn't get a reply from Clara until I walked through the front door of my house.

OMG, fill me in, what exactly happened???!!! It said.

I made my reply.

Same thing which happened to Mom and Julie. Me and Dad were almost ran off the road by two guys in a truck. The police saved us, and they're interrogating the two guys as we speak.

Oh my gosh! Are you ok?? Clara replied back.

I'm fine, but I really want to get to the bottom of this. It may give me a hot lead.

Ok. And that ended our conversation.

Dad instantly sparked a new one. "You didn't get hurt, right?" He asked.

"Those new seats that you installed helped," I replied. "Because of them, I didn't get hurt."

"Ok, good," Dad said. "We will get to the bottom of this."

I ran upstairs to my room, with my backpack in hand. Once I reached my desk, I got to my homework right away.

It was taking me more time, since I had been so close to death today. I couldn't shake this feeling, so I turned my attention to my independent reading book. I would do my math and science homework later.

A few minutes into my book and the doorbell rang. I ran downstairs and opened the door, and came face to face with a police officer. I recognized his face, he was the one of the officers who had saved us from certain demise.

He didn't need to say anything for me to know what was coming, but he spoke anyways.

"They talked."
