Dear Daddy,
Today Brady came in to my class room. Brady tries to stay out of our way when I'm learning. He usually stays outside the door, standing guard. He always looks very strong when he does that. Anyway, he knocked on the door and came inside. Mrs. Turner was talking about the Underground Railroad which is very exciting. She stopped talking and turned to him. He was holding a rose and he even had his gun out. That scared some of the kids in my class. I'm not scared of Brady, though. He plays Candyland with me. He nodded at Mrs. Turner and then asked me in his secret voice, "Agent Waters, your services are requested at the Command Center."
Brady and I play pretend sometimes. He says that I'm a secret agent and I'm one of the best out there. He follows my orders instead of the other way around. I stood up. "Very good, Agent Brady. Do I need to bring along a bag?"
"Yes. And see to it that Mrs. Turner gives you your homework."
So I went up to Mrs. Turner's desk and she gave me some worksheets for Math. I hate Math. It's so boring. It's just a bunch of numbers that you put together. There's no reason for it. I followed Brady out into the hallway and he took my hand. James, Alex, Lisia, Zane, and Ian were running all around. I couldn't stop looking at the rose Brady was holding. Why was he carrying a flower around? So I decided to ask him.
"Brady, why do you have a rose?"
"Oh. Someone gave it to me." And then he pushed me in the car and locked the door.
When I got home, Angel was waiting for me. Mommy was rushing around the firehouse with John and Bailey. She looked like she was upset. I wondered if someone had hurt one of her friends again. The bad man liked to do that. When she saw me, she ran to me and picked me up in a huge bear hug. She was kissing me all over my face and squeezing me really tight. I couldn't breathe! I finally got her to put me down when John picked me up. He hugged me even tighter than Mommy did. Then he passed me to Bailey. I couldn't figure out why everyone was so worried about me. I hadn't done anything wrong and nothing had happened to me. So why was everyone freaking out so much? Mommy sent me to do my homework in my room, but I was listening to them talk. She was whispering to John and Bailey about Jack getting to my school. She was almost crying. I wanted to go tell her everything was okay, but I couldn't. I kept listening to her talk about how she couldn't keep me protected. John looked sad, too, and he kept nodding and listening to Mommy. He was making little noises like ummm and ohhh and Sam, it's not your fault. Bailey always chimed in with that one. Finally, Mommy stopped and said that she was going to go read me a story. I didn't hear what they said after that because I had to hurry back to my room to do my homework. I didn't want Mommy to get mad at me.
Love,
Chloe Waters
