Mom. I don't know where you are. I'm scared. You and daddy left the house to see what was going on and you guys didn't come back. I heard screaming outside in the hallway, and the door started to shake. It was Mr. Sampson. I know you guys told me not to let anyone in, but he was our neighbor and you always told me if anything happened, that Mr. Sampson would take care of me. Mr. S was looking around a lot and packing up a lot of things. He's being funny. He tried to pack up all the cereal saying we were gonna go on a cmaping trip! He forgot the tent though! Mr. S is a silly man sometimes.
He found Daddy's secret gun in the coat closet. I told him he shouldn't touch gun because it's dangerousous, like you guys told me. He said it was an emergency though so Daddy would think it was o.k. So Daddy don't get mad o.k.?
Well. Mr. S says we have to go now. He told me to write a letter to you guys and put in on the fridge in case you guys come back here. I love you.
