The True Confessions of Amelia Sloan
Chapter 2
Memorable Moments
There are some moments in my life I will never forget. One of those is when Jessie got smallpox. I was only seven, so when I saw him as sick as he was, it really scared me. Amanda and dad were racing all around Los Angeles trying to find an antigen to try and cure Jessie. When grandpa got infected to, that REALLY scared me. But, in the end, as always, we found the bad guy, put him in jail, and we were all ready to start our lives again. Actually, it did Jessie some good. Afterwards, while dad, grandpa, and I were out, he called his dad. Imagine what Mr. Travis thought when Jessie told him he was recovering from the smallpox.
My dad's sister, aunt Carol, came back to see us about a year ago. I hadn't seen her since I was a year old, but we kept in regular contact through letters and phone calls. Her husband, uncle Bruce and I didn't know each other at all. Or at least, I didn't remember him. Dad would never tell me about him, so I never asked. He died while aunt Carol was visiting. She ended up staying for Christmas. Aunt Carol died recently and the whole family was devastated, especially grandpa.
I'd have to say that the worst case that dad and grandpa ever solved was the one with Carter Sweeney. When I was a baby, Dad arrested Carter's father, Louis, for murdering fifty two people in thirty nine bombings. About a year ago, while he was in prison for the bombings, his sister Caitlin, blew up the hospital with us in it and tried to kill us. That's an experience that's hard for anyone, young or old, to forget.
So, basically, my life has never had a dull moment. The way I see it, Jessie, Amanda, grandpa, dad, and I are all one big family. I wouldn't swap that for the world. All I can say is that it's a good life.

I can't promise, but if I get enough good reviews, I'll try to add more chapters.
