I'm having trouble writing my other story, so I thought I write a short little story just to get my mind off things.
Joe is 5 and Frank is 6.
I own a cat, but not the Hardy Boys.

The man watched as the small, blonde headed boy tugged at his mother's skirt. She only glanced down at his then continued talking to who he presumed was her husband. The brown haired kid walked obediently by his mother's side, also ignoring his brother. The blonde kid let go of his mother's skirt to cross his arms over his chest and pout. The man smiled thinking about how perfect that this pair of boys would be.

Joe crossed his arms over his chest and pouted. No one seemed to want to listen to him. They had gone to the zoo, but it seemed as though his parents would not let him look at any of the animals. It was unfair. He tried to get his mother's attention again but she just shook her head at him. Joe then made up his 5 year old mind that he would stop walking and wait until someone noticed him. Unfortunately for him, someone had already noticed.

Laura talked quickly to her husband as she rushed her two children out of the zoo. Apparently there was a kidnapper loose and she did not want anything to happen to her two babies. She stopped suddenly.
"Fenton!" She cried out, "Where is Joe?!" Fenton stopped in his tracks and turned to his wife who was looking around and calling out for Joe. Fenton took off in the direction that he last saw his son.
"Joe! Joe!" He called as he ran through the crowd, looking everywhere. He finally saw his son standing still in a middle of a crowd with a big pout on his face. Fenton ran up to him.
"JOE! How could you do that!? You scared us! There is someone bad here and we need to get out NOW!" Joe looked at his father and said,
"No one was listening to me so I stood here until somebody did."
"Well now I am paying attention to you so come to me." Joe looked mad, but he complied. He walked back to where his wife and other son was standing. Fenton sometimes wished that Joe could be more like Frank. Frank always listened, was respectful, and kind.
When he caught up with his wife, suddenly Joe complained loudly,
"I gotta go pee!" Laura sighed and looked to her husband. Fenton looked around and spotted a bathroom.
"Alright," he said, "I'll let you go to the bathroom but you have to go quickly, Okay?"
"Okay." Joe complied. Fenton led his son to the bathroom and Frank asked,
"Could I go too?"
"Yes," Fenton answered, then said quietly so that Joe could not hear, "take care of Joe." Frank nodded. He would always take care of his little brother. Always.

The man smiled as the two boys entered the bathroom alone. He walked in to the bathroom too. The man saw that the boys were just washing their hands. There was no one else in the bathroom. Perfect. He quickly grabbed the blonde kid and clamped a hand over his mouth. The brown headed his whirled around and started to yell, but stopped when the man said,
"Scream and your brothers dies." The brown haired kid shut his mouth. The man cornerd the brown headed kid and stuck a needle in the blonde kids arm. He felt the kid sag in his arms. He then grabbed the brown haired kid and did the same. He put both of them in the covered stroller he had stolen and took the back entrance out.
So wat do ya think? I have not abandoned The Place of No Return just am having some trouble writing it so I'm doing this for a side project. It will probably be only 4 or 5 chapters long. Rate and Review if you have the urge to! Thanks!
