Chapter 7
An Unexpected Letter
Jake noticed the ministry symbol of the back of the letter and got suspicious.
"That's weird it's from the ministry." Jake said.
"Hmm I wonder what they want with you" Jackson responded.
Jake opened the letter with haste it said:
Dear Mr. Shamek,
We would like to inform you of a very serious matter. Your brother Joshua P.
Shamek has not come into work for the last few weeks. Upon further investigation
of his home and other locations we have concluded that he is missing. If you
have any information if your brothers whereabouts please contact me at the
ministry via owl.
Thank you for your time.
Signed,
Under Secretary of the Ministry Detective Agencies
Florence Batchwater
"What the hell!" Jake stated in shock. "Josh is missing!"
"What!" Jackson said equally surprised.
"Apparently they searched his house and he was just gone. This makes no sense.
He is missing too." He would of been more emotional but he was in shock.
"Dude, write them back, and write to Shannon make sure she's alright."
"Yeah yeah right, but promise not to tell Melanie about this she will totally
freak."
He quickly wrote to Shannon and the ministry sending them out with the owl that
just came in. Soon enough lunch began and the common room started to fill up
again.
He knew as soon as Melanie came back she would be asking about his sleeping
problem which he didn't have and blah blah blah, but he couldn't pay attention
to any of that. His mind was totally focused on his brother and how Shannon was
feeling. He couldn't concentrate on anything else until he knew what was going
on.
