Chapter 1:The break in
It was the middle of the night when they came.13 year old,blue dog Jack Greene was in his room sound asleep. Suddenly the sound of breaking glass woke him up. A toon with a black ski mask pulled over his head had broken into Jack's room. "Turn over on your back." the toon said. Jack did as he was told. He taped his hands together and slapped ducktape onto his mouth. The toon pulled him downstairs. His sister Layla,and his mother Ana were both on the floor out cold.
Jack stared at them wide eyed. He couldn't say anything with the tape over his mouth. There were two other ski masked toons. "They tried to resist," one of them said "We taught them a lesson." Layla woke up and got back on her feet. Followed by Ana. "Where's our dad?!" Layla demanded. They ignored her. Two of the masked toons came up from behind and taped their hands together and taped their mouth. They pushed all three of them onto the couch. "Listen very carefully," the first one said. "We are very serious,if you don't do what we say,we will kill you. This cellphone will ring in a minute." He held up a cellphone. "Mrs. Greene When I put it to your ear you will say Don't talk or they will kill us. Got it?" Ana nodded.
He removed the tape from Ana's mouth. Ana winced in pain,but didn't say anything.
The cellphone rang. The toon answered it and put it to Ana's ear. "Ana are you and the kids okay!?" Jack's father,Eric shouted. "Don't talk or they will kill us," Ana said. The toon hung up. "Now we will be leaving," the toon said. "If you tell anybody what has happened here tonight,I will come back and kill all three of you." They freed their hands and left. "W-what was that?" Jack sputtered. It took all of Ana's strength not to burst into tears. "I wish I knew," she said. Then they heard their door being kicked in. "Police,stay where you are!" an officer shouted.
About 50 officers came in and cuffed the Greenes. "Whats going on?" Ana asked very scared. One of the officers walked up to the three of them. "Mrs. Greene,I'm afraid your house is being arrested," one of them said. "Are WE under arrest?" Jack asked. "Well no,I can have the cuffs removed if you will cooperate. "We'll cooperate," Ana said with a sigh. "My name is agent Niel," the officer said. "Where is our dad?" Jack asked.
"I'm afraid your dad has been arrested Jack," Niel said. Jack was totally stunned. "But why?"Jack demanded. "Your dad was part of a group that created illegal weapons," he explained. "We are trying to convict the leader,but have had no luck." "I don't believe this!" Ana shouted. "How could he get us into this mess?!" The officers were taking the Greene's items from the house. "We are going to drive you to a hotel," Niel said. "There's a van parked outside." On the way to the hotel,three cogs had blocked their path. Niel wasn't in the mood,so he ran them over. In the hotel room the Greenes were getting ready for bed. "You do know that you will not be able to go back," Niel said. "Then where will we go?!" Jack asked. "As long as your father is cooperating,we will put you in the WSP." "What's that?" Jack and Layla asked at the same time. "The Witness Security Program,"Niel said. "It's where you change your identities and move far away from your original home.
"Now we will discuss what name you will be going by," Niel said.
