(Derek's point of view)

"Hey there Smarty." I said walking up behind her and putting her on my shoulders.

I had just gotten up and walked into the kitchen when I saw Marti. She was my baby. Not in the "I made her" kind of way. I don't know what it was. She just kind of had this special place in my heart. Some kind of sibling connection I guess. I mean even when I was mean to her. Only I can be mean to her. If someone else tried to hurt her then I would be crazy Derek on them. Anyway….she laughed as I put her on my shoulders and started pretending to be an astronaut. We flew around the kitchen till Casey walked in and started laughing.

"You two are so weird." She said as I put Marti down.

"Yeah well we have fun." I replied tousling Marti's hair.

"Right!! Now get me some cookies." Marti exclaimed.

"What do you say?"

"Please?"

I went to the pantry and got some cookies for her. Right as Nora walked in and saw me.

"Why are you getting cookies this early?" She asked

I put them back and shrugged my shoulders at Marti who sighed.

"Time to get you to daycare Marti." Nora said.

Marti looked at me and smiled.

"Bye Smerik."

"Bye Marti." I said brushing her off.

She got a sad look on her face as George scooped her up and they left.

Casey walked over and hit my arm.

"Ow what?" I said rubbing the spot.

She then proceeded to lecture me for 10 minutes about how Marti looks up to me. And how she doesn't want to be brushed off and bla bla bla. I hear it all the time from Casey and frankly it gets on my nerves. She knows I love Marti yet she still treats me like I don't care. Grr. I went to school and it passed pretty quickly. The intercom came on and said that me and Casey needed to get to the office asap. What did I do now? I asked myself. I could understand me going to the office but why would they call Casey also? I joined Casey in the hall and we walked into a room with Nora, George, and 3 police officers. All five of them had worried expressions. I sat down next to Casey as the police officer said the worst thing he could have said to me.

"Marti was kidnapped."

And my heart shattered.

I am basing this off of what would happen if my little brother were taken. We have the Derek\Marti relationship so this may make me tear up by the end.lol R&R please
