Chapter 7

Important Things

Dash's POV

I went back into the store to search for the idiot who made me blurt out my sisters' name(well it is partly my fault). I wonder what he wants with her, and why he was hiding behind a wall? I won't let him get to Violet, because that is my sister and I have to protect her no matter what it takes! I wonder if this has something to do with Syndrome, but he couldn't be alive. This time I'll be a real hero like my dad!

Mom looked at me and said, "Dash, Honey could you get the peas from the freezer." I groaned then thought to myself, "I'll start after I get the peas."

I started to go get the peas and dad followed behind me, I looked back at him and he shushed me, I already know where this was leading to. He usually ditched mom and Vi with the groceries to go take samples from the old ladies that would serve him. Sometimes if he had returned twice the ladies would automatically spot him telling him that he couldn't have any more. He would walk with his tail between his legs back to mom only before one last result. This is where I come in, I would sprint past the ladies, and take the samples for dad. I felt wrong for it sometimes but dad would tell me "Good job son." It made me feel good so I would do it for him only once or twice so no one would find out we were supers.

I caught back up with mom and had given her the peas. She asked me to watch Jack-Jack for a few minutes, and went to find dad. Then I heard a mom scream "Bob get that thing out of your mouth!" I then placed my hand of over my face and groaned. I then looked over at Vi and she was doing the same thing, and then I looked at Jack-Jack and he was mimicking us. Dad ran past us and said "See you at home kids!"and shot to the exit. Mom had come back to me, Vi, and Jack-Jack and told us it was time to go to the register. We then walked slowly to register and everyone in the store looked at us with wide eyes. We went to register four to a clerk named Becky, she then started to scan our groceries very slowly never taking her eyes off Jack-Jack. When she looked at Jack-Jack one last time, his eyes started to glow red and she shrieked and loaded the groceries as fast as I could run.

"Here-Here you are Mam," Becky said with her voice shaking.

"How much do I owe you?"mom asked.

"Nothing, ummm you are our One millionth costumer so its free,"She said still shaking.

We walked out like it was nothing at all, because we were accustomed to it.

Mom turned to me and smiled "Dash your them man of the house now." Then her smile quickly turned to a frown "Because your father is dead," she said with tons of anger even picking up a stick and breaking it to emphasize the emotion.
