Chapter 3

Duane kept on running till he couldn't anymore. He stopped at town, but he doesn't know it was the town because he never heard of it.
He questioned, "Where am I?" People looked at him poorly, because of his clothes. Then a woman came a picked him up and went to her car. Duane still hasn't recovered from the shock. The woman looked at him thoughtfully. She drove to her house. Then she picked up him up and put him inside. She wrapped a blanket around him. She put her hand on his forehead. It was cold. She thought that he might be sick. Then she put him on a very comfy bed and went to sleep.
Finally Solar arrived at Mona's house. He knocked the door. Harry came and opened the door. He looked confused.
"Hi, my name is Solar," said Solar politely.
"Hello, nice to meet you Solar, I'm Harry," said Harry. He told him to come in. So they went inside. Mona gasped when she saw Solar talking to Harry. Harry heard her.
"Why are you standing there? Come meet this nice man," said Harry. Mona looked at Solar angrily when Harry turned back to Solar. Mona came in and headed to Solar, he stood up and handed out his hand. Mona looked disgusted.
She suddenly said, "I need to go, bye stranger I never met before."
Solar smiled and said, "Nice meeting you too." Mona went outside to buy some groceries, she called Megan to come too.
Solar said, "May you show me around your house please?"
"I'm not sure. Well, because you don't go into people's houses and expect them to show you around. But I think I can trust you," said Harry with a smile. They went around and then they finally went to the basement. Harry opened the door. They went inside.
Danny sat outside all alone, thinking. Sam saw him and sighed. She went outside.
"What are you doing? Come inside," said Sam.
"Go back inside!" exclaimed Danny. She sat beside him and pushed her hair out of her eyes. She looked at the ground and picked up a stick. She shook her head.
"Danny, what are you doing?" she said in a soft voice. Danny sighed then pushed her.
Sam stood up shouted, "What was that for?"
"For not going inside." said Danny. Sam put her hand on her hip.
"You see Danny, this is why. You never treat us like people. I am your sister. I can help you," said Sam. Danny stood up and looked at her. He went inside. Sam sighed and shook her head.
"Now I don't want anyone of you putting their foot near outside," said Danny.
"Why?" questioned Sun.
Danny said, "Why? Why? Do you think this is a joke? That we are playing games?"
"I said why?" said Sun angry.
Solar and Harry opened the door and saw big lumps wrapped in a blanket. Harry wanted what was in them. So he unwrapped them and saw Miral and Star. He was shocked.
"My girls!" shouted Solar. Harry looked at him in shock. Solar nudged them. They woke up.
"Dad, you came!" exclaimed Miral. Solar was so happy.
"I-I-I'm so sorry, I didn't know anything about this," stammered Harry nervously.
"I know," said Solar. Harry put his hand on his forehead.
"Can't we go home now?" asked Miral.
Harry said, "If you knew all along why didn't you say anything?
"Somethings don't need to be mentioned in this world, goodbye now," said Solar.
Harry said, "Come back soon." He walked them to the door. They walked out.
"Stop, I thought you had a car. No, no, no this won't do, you must be driven by me," offered Harry.
Solar said, "No it's fine we can walk."
"Tisk, tisk, tisk. Now come in the car, it's the least I could do," said Harry. Then he pushed them in, but not too hard. Solar wanted to say that's it's fine but Harry wouldn't let him. They drove home. Solar showed the way. When they arrived Harry looked at their house disgusted.
"Not to be rude but, is this your house?" asked Harry.
Solar said, "Um, yes. We are planning on buying things soon."
"Six kids, is the charm," said Harry.
"Actually we are seven, unless you count Moon and Sun as one," said Star.
"Pardon me, but I only see six counting individually," said Harry.
"Where's Duane?" asked Solar without counting. Moon, Sun and Sam looked at Danny. Danny scratched his head.


Solar knows Duane's gone. Just when he thinks it's all over. What's up with all his children missing?
