I kind of felt secretly happy for them getting time for us that I did my own happy dance.
Evan and I ran home like the wind. It was not every day our parents were so kind. At home, Mum and Dad said they would come in a few minutes and went to the attic. Probably to get the board games.
Evan nudged me. I looked at him.
"How bout a sorry for yesterday?"
"To who?"
"Dad. And Mum."
"C'mon!"
He looked at me pointedly.
"Okay. Okay. Fine."
I went to the attic with Evan to go and apologise.
When we went down, our parents weren't gathering the games. They were working on a table with serums and paperwork piled at the side.
Not work again, I thought.
On the table, wasn't work. Not at all. Three bodies lay unconscious. The three missing people. I fell to my knees. Our parents turned behind.
"Look. This isn't like what it looks."
