My ride home today, was the safest since he threatened me, but I was still not safe. I got home and put my handbag down. "You hungry?" I asked. "More than ever." Mary answered, "Who wants Hot dogs?!" I screamed hoping that the kids can hear me from down here and went into the kitchen. After I was done cooking, I turned back to find only Mary sitting at the counter. "Where are the kids?" I gestured with the spatula, "didn't I ask you to call them?". "I'm pretty sure you didn't," said Mary. I put the frying pan down and went upstairs. I knocked on the doors, but no answers. I opened the door to find them missing.

I ran outside and knocked on all the neighborhood doors, everybody looked at me thinking I was crazy. One old man almost hit my head with his walking stick. I knocked the last house in the neighborhood, "Mr. Edwards took them for a walk, oh, isn't he a very sweet father! you're lucky to be married to him. You know back in my day-" "Thanks a lot Mrs. Putbelly!", And I ran off. "Its PUTBUNNY!!" I heard her scream behind me. I should have told my kids about him! Stupid me! Stupid me! I thought. Now, where would he take them for a walk? Park! I thought to myself. Halfway I realized that I was running barefoot.

I reached the park as fast as I could and saw Michael and the kids on his lap sitting on the bench. "...and he lived happily ever after." He said as the kids fell asleep. "Get away from my kids!" I beamed at him. "My kids, 19 years together, and MY kids?! Jeez, you have changed." He heaved a heavy sigh. "I will leave them now, as they will die later. MWAHAHAA" He said with a demonic laugh (when did he learn that?!) "Hey, tell me one thing." I asked, "Are you Michael Edwards or Sam Buckets?!" I asked, "I am none." He said as Joey woke up. "Hey mom see, Dad came back from Russia!" "From RUSSIA?!"Michael asked, "Yeah... about that." "Anyways, now that I met my lovely kids I will be on my way." "But dad?" Joey cried, "C'mon honey Daddy has work to do," I said. "Yeah. Work!" Michael said cracking his knuckles and giving me a death stare. "Anyways, KAREN! only 6 months left!!!" he said and left. 6 months?! I didn't know time had flown by so fast.
