Then it struck me - was he really my dad? My heart began to beat very fast. I looked at the way he kept on searching, and asked myself: could he be a burglar pretending to be Daddy? I picked up the phone, wanting to call Daddy’s office, but a hand came down and stopped me. I reacted in that split second, and said, "Daddy, there’s an athletic meet tomorrow at school. I want to ask them if parents are invited." He let go his hand, nodded, and went to the drawers again. Now I knew it would be impossible to make phone calls without his knowing. What I was even more certain was that this man behind the mask was not my dad. Then a thought FLASHed through my mind - I know, I can report to the police online! So I sat in front of the computer and sent a message to the police, reporting that a stranger had come into my house. Just when I had finished, this man who pretended to be my dad had finished searching the house and was set to leave. I had to think of a way to stop him from leaving! So I said, "Daddy, you said you would leave me your ATM card so I can get money for my sports shoes. But where did you put it?"
