“Mom! Dad!” shouted the kids together. They jogged up to their parents, ecstatically and were greeted by warm and soothing hugs. Mrs. Foster cried tears of joy as she kissed Aaron and Alexia all over their faces. She was distinctly relieved to see her children. “I found him in the middle of the woods. Nasty ol’ man was hidin’ in that shack of his,” said a loud and bold voice. Aaron recognized it immediately. He swiveled around to see the short officer holding the arms of an elderly man in silver handcuffs. The old man tried to avoid eye contact with Mr. Foster. “Mr. Bonklobs?” yelped Mr. Foster. “I just can’t believe that my best colleague would kidnap my children just for a million dollars! You know you could have just asked me for money if you needed help! I just can’t believe it! You-” “Now, now,” said the officer, “we’ve got him all tied up, don’t you worry at all. He’ll be goin’ nowhere.” Mr. Foster kept giving Mr. Bonklobs frightening looks from time to time. He clearly didn’t like him being there. The officers pushed Mr. Bonklobs into one of the police cars and drove away. The Fosters got into the other car as the head officer drove them back to their cozy little house—123

Chestnut Drive. When they arrived, they thanked the officer for finding their children. Everyone was happy once again. “Aaron and Alexia,” began Mrs. Foster, her eyes swimming with tears, “I am so, so sorry for leaving both of you in a place we had never been before. Today was a huge mistake, and I promise not to repeat it again. You kids were so brave. I just want to say—” And then she couldn’t help whole ocean of tears came rushing down her cheeks as she sobbed uncontrollably. “Please-please forgive me.” Aaron put his hand on his mother’s back. He hugged her and said, “We forgive you. Right, Alexia?” “Yes,” she responded. “We do. Just forget everything that happened today. What matters right now is that we are together, safe, and sound.” The only problem was that Aaron and Alexia couldn’t forget what had happened. This part of their lives was an amazing adventure and a petrifying experience from which they had learnt a lot.
