“It was dawn. Far away a dog barked. “I think that’s Henry barking!” Annie said. “We did come home.” They both looked out the tree house window. “That was close,” said Jack. In the distance, streetlights lit their street. There was a light on in their upstairs window. “Uh-oh,” said Annie. “I think Mom and Dad are up. Hurry!” “Wait.” In a daze, Jack unzipped his backpack. He pulled out the castle book. It was quite wet. But Jack placed it back with all the other books. “Come on! Hurry!” said Anni...e, scooting out of the tree house. Jack followed her down the ladder. They reached the ground and took off between the gray-black trees. They left the woods and ran down their deserted street. They got to their yard and crept across the lawn. Right up to the back door. Jack and Annie slipped inside the house. “They’re not downstairs yet,” whispered Annie. “Shhh,” said Jack. He led the way up the stairs and down the hall. No sign of his mom or dad. But he could hear water running in the bathroom.MoreLessRead More Read Less
