Chapter 2

Beep beep beep it was time to get up for the day. Today I had to go talk to the mayor. Maybe he knew something that he was not telling any one. But first I had to go talk to my good friend Christine to see if she knew anything about what happened? When I asked her if she knew something so said no. and to go ask the mayor. I told her that is where I was going to go next. She asked if she could go with. I of course said yes. When we go there a whole bunch of people where there for the same reasons Christine and I where there. And I thought there was no one that was going to help figure out what was going on with our town. But the thing is that no one knows what we r looking for all we know is that there is a problem that needs to be fixed. When it was our turn to talk to the mayor he looked at us like we where crazy. He was absolutely no help at all. So Christine and I decided to go to Hannah's house. She had been studying all the stuff that was happening. She told us that one old man who knew what was wrong. His was Jim. Jim lived in his mothers' basement. He knew what was wrong or he thought he knew what was wrong for years. He said it had something to do with a river. The river is what is making the power stay on and go off. "Where is the river?" Christine asked. Jim said "The river is under ground when you find it there will be a generator. You will have to see if there is something wrong with it. But make sure not to go to close to the side of the river because the side of the river is slippery and you WILL fall in. You won't come back.." "Thank you for all the information you gave us" Christine said "yeah thank you." I said. Ok well it is time for us to go BYE BYE and on the way out the door…..the power went out. "Taylor" said Hannah what is wrong with the power. "I don't know. All I know is we need to fix it." Said Taylor ……… (1 hour later) Hannah how long has it been since the power went out. I don't know at least an hour. Zzzzing YAY the lights are back on. Good now we can go home. Bye Jim thank you for all the information.
