Goodbye Charlie
The sun was shining through the window on a cool summers day in June. I was reading a book from my over the summer English reading list. Charlie and Gabe were playing Hide-And-Go-Seek-which is quite rare anymore-, and PJ was at the movies with his new girlfriend. Mom and Dad were setting up the new swimming pool, and life was easy. "Gabe, I'm going to Ivy's house. Please keep an eye on Charlie." I called out to Gabe. I walked down the lawn and across the street to Ivy's.
"Hey Ivy can I talk to you about something with this reading list?" I questioned. "Sure, but please hurry I have to go to the store with my mom soon." Ivy replied rushing me. "Do we only have to read five from this list, or al of them. ' letter confused me." I said hurrying the best I could. "You pick five from the list and then do one report on one of the five you read. Sorry Teddy, my mom is calling me, talk to you later." Ivy replied shutting the door.
While I was walking back to the house I noticed something very strange, Gabe was sitting on the porch shaking and crying. This was abnormal because Gabe doesn't cry or sit on the porch shaking. I ran over to him and bent down to ask what was wrong. "Hey, Gabe? Why are you crying, and where is Charlie?" I questioned. "Uh, I don't know what to say. Please don't yell at me. I was letting Charlie play in the front yard when the ice cream man came down the street. I went to get some for Charlie and me, when a… black truck came up and.. Well it… took Charlie. I chased after it but I couldn't catch it." Gabe said sobbing. My world fell apart at that second. "We have to tell mom and dad." I whispered. "No! They will kill me." Gabe yelled. "Well if we don't Charlie could be killed!" I yelled back running to the backyard. "Mom, dad!" I screamed, shaking. "What is it Teddy?" They replied stunned. "Charlie has been kidnapped," I replied.
