The plan:

1) Thomas and Josh dress up and stall the man

2) David and Qaasim get the backpack

3) Rosalina and I get Alex

4) Me, Rosalina, and Alex go in through the back door and wait for the others

5) We take a car to the airport and back to New York

Thomas and David dressed up, dyed their hair, and Rosalina put make up on them. They knocked on the front door.

"es use me sir, we're from the states, Florida, and our teacher has sent us here for a report on the locals. If you don't mind doing a survey?" Thomas said.

"It's 80% of our grade." Josh added.

With the man distracted, David and Qaasim climbed up the gutter shaft. They climbed into the second window. Then, they threw the backpack down to Rosalina.

I opened the basement doors. Alex sat up.

"Don't worry." I said. Rosalina handed me the rope. I threw one end down while Rosalina tied the other to a tree. I jumped down. Alex hugged me.

"Not now. Don't worry." I whispered. I helped him climb it, then climbed up. Rosalina dropped a note down and then we ran towards the house, Alex on my back. We walked in, and raced up the stairs.

"Nat," he said, his voice raspy.

"Do you want some water?" Rosalina asked. He nodded. Me and him went upstairs to the shower.

"No offense, but you smell." I said, turning on the water. Rosalina came in with the water.

Alex gulped it down. I scrubbed him down, and then I left to get somethings. I came back with the spare change of boxers for Alex. I tossed it in the bathroom along with the clothes. Thomas and Josh walked in as Alex came down the stairs.

"Gammy, can you drive us to the airport?" Rosalina asked. We brought our bags down as Rosalina's grandma started up her car. Thomas up the bags in as we dressed Alex up. He wore a hat and sunglasses.

We got him in the car just as the old man (Jefferson Loui as Alex told us) walked towards us.

"Go grandma," Rosalina shouted. We drove just under the limit towards the airport. We parked as he drove to find a parking. We each grabbed one bag. I took out me and Alex's passports as we ran in to the airport.

We were sure we lost him when we passed through security check, when he grabbed my neck and pulled me back.

"Get your hands off of him." Rosalina said.

"Or what?" He asked. Rosalina lifted her fists.

"I'm so scared of the little girl." He said. Rosalina kicked his, well, his goodies. His hands dropped.

We all sprinted towards the gate. We got on board and were sure we were safe.

"Thank you." Alex said. He stared out the window as we lifted off.

"How'd you know about where I was?" Alex asked.

"I just, knew. Dreams," I said.

"Mom," Alex said, looking me in the eye.
