The Robbery;
I open the door & am pushed aside, against the wall. I notice four men in all black carrying guns rush into the living room. They slam the door behind them, turn towards me & tie me up. They go through every room, taking what they think is of any value. I notice one of the men have grabbed my journal. I scream at them to let me go & am hit hard across the face. They are done ransacking the house within a couple minutes. They grab me, their loot & run out the door with me kicking & screaming to be let go. I hear Levi whinny & know she has at least heard me. But I know no more until I wake up in a warehouse chained to a wall, lying on a mattress with a small blanket.
At first I try to remember what happened that day & when my head starts hurting, I know I've been injured. But what really gets me is that I know not where I am. I see the four men sitting around a table. They are going through everything they have taken from our house, tossing it into two piles. I see them toss my journal into one pile & make a move for it. One man gets up, grabs my arm & tosses me back on the mattress, yelling at me & kicking me in the chest. I gasp for air & slump over only to get another kick to my head & blackout.
