1.1.1 The True Confessions of Amelia Sloan
1.1.2 Chapter 1
1.1.3 My Life
Hi, my name is Amelia Sloan. I am ten years old, and my birthday is July 13. My father is Lt. Steve Sloan, and my grandfather is Dr. Mark Sloan.
I live in Malibu, California, in a beach house with grandpa and dad. My mom used to live here, too, but she died when I was seven. Ever since then, dad, grandpa, and I have become extremely close.
My dad works for the LAPD. He's been in the force almost twenty years. He's landed into all sorts of trouble. Once, he was shot and all of us were scared. But I knew my dad was a fighter and I didn't lose faith in him.
My grandfather works at Community General Hospital. He and my mom used to work together. To many people when they first meet him, he may seem strange, but once you get to know him, but once you get to know him, he's very easy to love and it's hard to hold a grudge against him. He works as a consultant for the police department. He has solved more murders than any other cop in the department has. He used to roller skate through the halls of Community General. He used to ride a scooter also. I think the most baffling case was the one against Carter Sweeney. That was the most personal case also. Carter went after grandpa and tried to prove himself smarter. And if that wasn't enough, his sister, Caitlin, hated the city for putting her father on death row. Not long ago, she blew up the hospital to try to kill us.
I've made many close friends at Community General. Two of my closest are Amanda Bentley and Jessie Travis. Amanda is a fun loving, spirited type of person. Her and Jessie have had some interesting arguments. But if any of us get into trouble, she's right there for us. I think the truest test of friendship I've ever seen her endure was when my mom died. Amanda is like an aunt to me.
Jessie is also a spirited, fun loving type of person, which is sometimes what gets him into trouble. He is always hanging around the beach house. We first met when I was three years old. He was then a resident at Community General. He is now a good doctor. Jessie has been through a lot. He's even lived through an epidemic of smallpox. But that's another story altogether.
And last, but certainly not least, is my mom. She was the greatest mom in the whole world. She immediately fit in with the group. She and I got involved with several cases, but we never minded. She died about three years ago of cancer. Mom was always there when I needed to talk. No matter what, she always stood by me. My mom and dad sounded perfect together: Samantha & Steve Sloan. They named me after my grandmother, Amelia Langford Hastings.
