Week Two

Dear Unfortunate Reader,

It's my first time out of that musty old warehouse. I kept pestering Karl until he gave in, but only if I wore a disguise. So, I dyed my hair using that mousse stuff and using contacts and a pair of glasses. To be honest, I didn't even recognize myself. I don't get to go far, but it's a start.

I'm sitting outside near the gate (Karl will only let me go this far. Gosh, what a pus-head) and holding a copy of 'The Pride and Prejudice'. I try to ignore the fact that it seems to be getting colder. Maybe I should ask Karl for a coat when he leaves.

So far I think I'm the only teenager who has seen the complete seasons of 'Leave It To Beaver'. I like that little guy and all, but come on. Your screws must be loose if you think that.

Update of search and rescue, they've called in Lightning Girl. I've heard that from reading between the lines from what Karl told me. Apparently, she hasn't found a kid for ages but they are fully confident that she will find me.

Whatever.

Yours in kidnapped,

Kerry Smith

Dear Unfortunate Reader,

Day Nine here at the warehouse. I'm bored to death. Karl lets me out every afternoon like a dog that has to go to the bathroom or something. I've tried reasoning, but he doesn't listen. I asked him if one day we could go see a movie. It'll be dark in the theater so no one will see me and I could wear a disguise again. He just looks at me like I'm mad.

There's a TV. in here so I get to see what the progress of finding me. They are so far away, I want to scream. Karl just gives me a wry smile and goes back to typing a ransom letter. I think he wants to get as much as he can before he returns me. IF he returns me.

I don't give up hope though.

Yours in kidnapped,

Kerry Smith

Dear Unfortunate Reader,

I found a note outside today. A girl name Jess says hi and asks if I'm the girl who was kidnapped. She says she saw me the other day.

I write her to say yes but to wait. I don't know what Karl will do. I'll put it by the gate when I go out tonight.

Gosh, I'm so excited. How wonderful would it be if I got out early?

Yours in kidnapped,

Kerry Smith
