Jeremy plodded up and down the kitchen thinking what to do. However, Reese was curled up like a hedgehog in winter.

“Get up now or I’ll pull you up by your ears!” Jeremy shouted to Reese.

“Why it’s hopeless,” he announced curled up in a ball with his knees up to his head, “I can’t do anything.”

“Well think your smarter than me.” Jeremy said plodding up and down.

Reese thought about a hair clip but no one had one.

“Jeremy do you know where any hair clips are?” Reese asked quietly.

“I think there are some in the drawer but I’m not sure.” Jeremy replied confused. Reese found them and went to the window and tried to put it in but it didn’t fit they were stuck here after all.

Then they heard something walking up to the door humming

“Chase is that you?” Jeremy said excitedly knowing they could get out.

“Yes it’s me now what should I get so you can escape.” Chase stated

“Go into the living room and there should be a table, under the table there should be a key, get that key and slide it under the door.” Jeremy explained.

“Got it there you go know escape.” Chase babbled.

They sprinted away not knowing where they were going. Chase leading the way lefts, rights, ups and downs. Eventually they got far away in a field. Chase needed winding up after that run.

Jeremy started thinking. Where is my father? What was he doing? Was he really dead?
