Today I went to Jamie's house. It was very very very big and they had lots of really cool stuff. Jamie had lots of toys and we played with his ninja turtles and my action man.
But then when I got home mummy got really mad and yelled at me 'cause I forgot to tell her I was going to his house. She also said she didn't want me to go to his house again and called Jamie's mummy a bad word. I don't know why she doesn't like any of my friends mummies and why she has been so mean to me.
I wrote you a letter yesterday but mummy found it and tore it up into lots of little tiny pieces and put them in the bin. It was really scary but I decided that I still need to write to you.
All the other people in my class at school ask me why I don't have a daddy. So I told them that you are a very special person who works as a secret agent for the good guys and right now you are saving the world. The big mean bullies I told you about before laughed at me again.
Can you come to school like I asked you before and be mean to them back? It would teach them a lesson and it would make me very happy. If you can't come to my school can you still come home so that mummy can be happy again?
I really miss you daddy. Please come home.
Love Frankie.

I really really miss you daddy. I wish you would come home.
Yesterday mummy said something said something funny. She was talking to her mummy about you and said you had "run off on that stupid Harley to god knows where". Daddy, what's a Harley?
Mummy got really angry yesterday. I think it's because I went over to Jamie's house again without asking her. She had a reeeaaaaalllllyyyy long talk with his mummy and then she came out smiling. I'm not sure why she was happy, 'cause she before she called Jamie's mummy a bad word, but if she's happy then I'm happy.
Mummy just told me that tomorrow and the day after and the day after I'm going to Jamie's house after school and eating tea there and then coming home. She was really happy-looking about this.
That's a good thing isn't it?
Anyway, daddy I love you, wherever you are, and I know that you love me too.
Love Frankie
P.S Please come home.
A/N. Yes, I know that that was really short. If you've read the Stanley yelnats survival guide you might get a hint of how this is related to Holes… If you don't, then read the survival guide. D.
