I got my flip flops on, I went up to mommy and she picked me up. She grabbed her purse and the car keys and quickly ran out the door.

Mommy buckled me in my car seat. Mommy drove quite a bit fast. I'm confused, why is she rushing to go somewhere? The grocery store is only 1 minute away.

"Mommy, are you ok?" I asked.

"Yes, Pops. I'm alright."

We got to a big building with lots of trucks with lights on the top of the truck. Everybody. Some of those long, rolly beds, going into the building. Mommy got into the building and went up to a counter.

"Who are you here for Miss?" The lady behind the desk asks. Mommy looks upset.

"I'm here for Charles Trippy the 3rd." Mommy told the woman. Is daddy hurt? I lay my head on daddy's shoulder and closed my eyes.

"Floor 2, 8th door." The woman directed.

When mommy went to the elevator, I asked,

"What happened to daddy?"

It is silent for a second, until mommy spoke up.

"Daddy has the Brain Slug."
