Chapter 20

I woke up to someone swimming around in the house.

I got out of bed and followed slowly behind.

The mermaid went into my sisters room.

I quickly swam into mother and fathers room and jumped on ther bed.

"What's wrong Jake?"

"Shh."

"Someone is in Lilly's bedroom."

"Go hide in the closet and stay quiet."

Mia and I swam into Lilly's room

"Lilly?"

We looked around her bedroom.

"Mia."

"Lilly's missing."

We swam back to the closet where Jake was hiding.

"Jake's gone to."

"No."

I fell to the floor.

Theodore put his arms around me.

"We will find them."

I got Mia up off the floor.

"Let's go to the police."

We swam as fast as we could to the police station.

"Excuse me can anyone help us find our kids?"

"They were kidnapped by someone."

"Can either of you describe the kidnapper?"

"No."

"Only our son can but he was taken away too."

"Follow me please."

We followed the officer into a room that looked like a big box.

"Mother, father."

"Kids, you're okay."

"Where did you find them?"

"Your son found us."

"He got his sister and came to us as fast as he could swim."

"We don't know how he got away."

"He's too worried about his sister."

I swam over to the kids.

"Can you tell your mother and I what happened?"

"He had long black hair and a bright green tail."

"Brown eyes and a long beard."

"I know who that is."

"It's Lincoln."

"He is your kids age and he's been kidnapping kids for a long time."

"Your children are very lucky."

"Most kids that get taken never come back."

"If you are willing to go back home and leave your kids by themselves the police will be suffocating the house so nothing bad will happen to them."

"We will then follow him to the other kids and save them all."

"No way."

"We are not putting our kids in danger."

"Mother, father please, we have to help all the other kids."

"Their parents must be very worried about them too."

"Please."

"Fine on one condition we get to be relocated far away from here."

"Deal."
