For some reason fanfiction won't recognize my dashes so when you see KSKS it is separating parts.
I don't really know Toronto but I'm gonna try to keep it real.

Kevin Wordsworth, also know as Wordy, hung up the phone and sighed. He had just called his wife Shelley to tell her that the team was stopping for drinks and that he would be dropping off Jules (since her car was in the shop) before heading home. She had sounded tired but said they would discuss it when she got home since she did not want to discuss it over the phone. She also reminded him that his niece, Cat (Catherine) was sleeping over.
Wordy put the phone back into his pocket and pushed off the doorframe he had been leaning against and went out to the parking lot.

Home sweet home he thought as he pulled onto his street. Shelley was not on the porch waiting for him but the past few nights she had been tired and hadn't been out waiting for him so he was not worried.
He entered the house and the first thing he noticed was that all of the lights were out. He flicked the hall light and called "Shelley?" There was no response, although he heard some movement upstairs.
He walked into the kitchen, suddenly nervous. When he turned the light on, he immediately noticed blood on the kitchen counter and table. It was not a lot of blood but his heart began racing, his gut instinct telling him something was wrong. Thankful that he had convinced Shelley to let him keep two guns in the house, he grabbed a chair and reached behind the baking ingredients for a lock box. Once he had the gun, he began searching the house.
There was no one downstairs so he turned on the hallway light as he climbed the stairs. All of the rooms were empty except for the nursery. That door was locked. He called out, "Girls, I need you to open the door" but there was no response. Then he remembered why. Shelley was always nervous that her ex-husband would come back, even though by court order he was not allowed to be in the same town. After the girls had seen him picking a lock (Shelley had accidently left the house keys in the house, Shelley had told them if there were ever a burglar, they should lock themselves in a room and their father would let them out (all of his nieces and nephews knew this information as well).
Kevin went into the master bedroom and found his set of lock picks, knowing he was wasting precious time. It took him a few tries but he unlocked the door and turned the knob.
As soon as the door was partially opened, a child jumped into his arms. It was Cat. She began sobbing. He sat down on the floor, pulling her onto his lap, and rubbing her back soothingly. "Cat I need you to tell me what happened."
Her sobbing subsided as she handed him a note written by Shelley.
Kev,
The girls are screaming. I have to find out what is going on. I love you and the girls with all of my heart.
~Shel
By the time he finished, Cat had ceased her cries. "Talk to me kitty-cat."
Cat looked up at him. "Aunt Shelley wasn't feeling well so Claire and I told her we would help her. Claire was on the couch reading a story to Lily while I helped Aunt Shelley with Allie. Then Claire was screaming that someone was in the house and Lily started crying. Ally was already asleep so Aunt Shelley wrote that for you and told me to stay here while she went downstairs. She told me after she left the room I should lock the door and keep it locked until you let me out. She shut the light and then there was yelling and then it was quiet." She began sobbing again.
Kevin held his niece close, trying to stay calm. "Cat, you are so brave. I need you to go check on Allie, but you need to stop crying first so you don't wake her."
Once Cat stopped crying, he pulled out his cell phone and hit speed dial.
