Chapter Four: Several Scares

"Kev, what time do you get off work tomorrow?" shouted Lucy.

"I'm not sure, why you got anything planned," replied Kevin.

"Yeah actually I've got some budget meeting at the church tomorrow at three, and I thought it would be nice if you spent some time with the kids, they hardly ever get to see you."

"Well I guess I'll just have to leave early, but that shouldn't be a problem, the case hat has been talking up most of my time is almost solved and I'm sure I can get off."

"Okay well come at like 2:50 to pick up Jennie and then head on to Josh's school, but don't be late picking him up, he'll get into some kind of trouble" warned Lucy.

Monday finished and Tuesday began to unwind. Down at the station several guys were sick and never came in, leaving the station in a complete mess. Fortunately Kevin was able to get out at 2:45, he went over to the house kissed Lucy goodbye, grabbed his daughter and headed to his car, completely forgetting to leave his gun in the office desk, he rushed to pick up Josh. Kevin climbed out the car and into the building that was overloaded with students. He walked into his son's classroom and decided to speak to Josh's second grade teacher. He walked over and said hello, not realizing his gun was there he pulled back his jacket revealing the gun to a now terrified teacher. Kevin continued to speak and the teachers reaction to the visible gun went unnoticed. Mrs. Hart took the first chance to excuse herself and call the principal for help. In a matter of minutes school security personals surrounded Kevin.

A shocked Kevin quickly realized what the commotion was about and immediately reached into his pocket revealing the Glen Oak Police badge he carried in his wallet. The mess had been solved and the teacher apologized for the misunderstanding. They continued to chat as a frightened Josh entered the room and explained that while playing with his sister in the hallway he lost track of her and now has no idea where the little girl could be. Kevin turned to face his son for two second until all the boy had said had soaked in and headed to the door.

A pale Kevin screamed his daughter's name and walked door to door to find the lost little girl. After an hour of searching and shouting, Jeannie was found in a dark corner of a darker custodian closet amazed by the rags in that area. Kevin grabbed her quickly embracing her in a hug. Kevin took the children to the car not wanting anything else to happen. Talking out all his fears of losing Jennie, he quickly scolded Josh for being so irresponsible and punished him from any outdoor activities for a week. Josh, though upset remained quiet realizing once he had explained the day to his mother not only will he be set free but Kevin will be in trouble for the gun incident and leaving the children outside.
