Once we were around the corner Lindsey put Malory on her back and ran out the door.
"Where are we going child!??" Asked the babysitter.
"Oh um.. I forgot. Never mind. He's fine. You can go home. Bye." I replied. The babysitter walked back home, puzzled.
"Good you guys made it!" I said walking into the park.
"How'd it go?" Lindsey asked me.
"Great. She totally fell for it. I told her my brother was hurt and we needed help and she came along."
"Wow." She said turning to Malory who was hiding behind her leg.
"Malory, this is Jesse. Remember him? He's going to help us. He's going to help me take care of you, okay?"
"I'm scared." She said to Lindsey.
"Don't worry Malory. We'll take good care of you. We won't let anyone hurt you." I reassured her.
"O-okay.."
"Uh oh. I just got wet..." Lindsey warned.
