Where’s Caden?

Mommy and Daddy look so worried.

-

I want to ask my daddy what's the matter, but he doesn't like it when I ask him things while he's on the phone.

- 

Caden, Caden, Caden, my mean older brother's name spoken softly. 

-

Caden didn't come home from school today.

- 

I don't mind so much that Caden's missing, because he always hits me when he's here.

-

Mommy is crying so much, and she says that Caden is gone.

-

The police officer asks many questions.

- 

Daddy promises that we will find who killed him.

-

I don't think they can really catch the killer, but I nod anyway to make Mommy and Daddy feel better.

-

They would never think I killed my brother.
