Chapter 1
One day Cory and Topenga were sitting at their favorite table at Chubbies
as Sean walked in.
"Hey Sean!" Cory said excitedly.
"Hey Cor," Sean sat down, "hey Topenga." He greeted them. Sean reached his
hand across the table and grabbed some fries out of Cory's red fry basket.
Topenga slapped Sean's hand.
"Hey that's rude!" She smirked. Sean turned his head slowly towards her,
and smiled.
"I'm sorry Topenga." Sean smiled. All of a sudden they heard loud clomping
feet clomp down the staircase into the restaurant. It was Eric. Eric rushed
over to their table.
"Cory! Something is up with Morgan. We need to go back to the house." Sean,
Cory, and Topenga all got up and ran out of Chubbies. When they arrived at
Cory's house, the police were there. As soon as they rushed out of Sean's
car, an ambulance showed up. Eric and Cory rushed inside of the house to
see their parents sitting on the couch with the sheriff talking to them.
Cory rushed to the couch.
"What is wrong mom? What's happening dad?" Cory's dads put his hand up to
try and block Cory from coming any closer. Cory was listening to the
sheriff.
"Well Mr. and Mrs. Matthews, Morgan should have never been left home alone-
"
"But we both work!" Cory's dad yelled.
"Well she is only 9 years old. Some one needs to stay here with her
everyday. Since it is summer and all. Morgan was lucky today. The man, who
tried to break in, didn't have anything to break the windows with. I think
that for the next couple of days I will have a patrol car circle around.
You need to keep someone home with Morgan." The sheriff walked past Cory
and out the door. Cory's dad stood up.
"Dad what happened is Morgan ok?" Topenga wrapped her hands around Cory's
arm.
"Cory do you think you could stay here for the next couple of days? Help us
watch Morgan?"
"Of coarse dad. That is not a problem, I just want to know if she is ok."
Morgan came running down the stairs. Cory turned his head to face the
bottom of the stairs to see Morgan standing there. He rushed over to he.
"Morgan are you alright? I am so sorry that I wasn't here." He hugged
Morgan.
"Yeah Cory, I am ok. Not a big deal." Morgan let go of Cory.
