Can't pee, Mr. Bear.

Heather Woodward.

Today.

What I read in the paper.

That's it.

And I was planning on coming home on my birthday. That was the plan so I didn't have to go back to Bonnie's house.

But she's clutching a teddy bear. Yes.

I'm tired. I'm ready for my nap. I need my books. I need my books. I need my books, books, books, books, books.

Because I always go to the library. I walk there all the time, and I wasn't comfortable walking to the police station.

I don't know. I'm scared.

I haven't talked to my mom.

I don't know. I thought that maybe she hid to draw me out and then she'll come out now that she knows that I'm home.

Because. Sometimes that's just the way Bonnie is. And she can be mean, and I don't know. She's just mean.

Because I'm not going back there to be slave labor and a free babysitter. I just couldn't do it no more.

And then I went to stay at a friend's house.

Just a friend. I don't want to get him in trouble. So just a friend. They helped me. And they knew the situation, so.

They're not going to get in trouble, are they?

They don't know nothing. They don't like Bonnie. I don't want to know where Bonnie's at.

So now, another layer to this mystery. She was painting a pretty ugly picture of her stepmother.

They're not going to get in trouble, are they?

I'm saving some people from the church.

Nathan. He's my best friend.

The veteran came for her. I mean, I know that she got in a car with some guy and they drove off. That's all I know.

Yeah, it was a silver and gray car, Malibu. That's it. That's all I know.

No. Besides Roger's car. but Roger wanted her to fly.

Roger and Nathan came home on Friday. We came home on Saturday, me and Monica.

Monica told me that he just wanted to get home, and he made Nathan go with him.

I don't know. Roger? Bonnie's never met Roger, so I don't know why she'd get in the car with him.

No, she doesn't care about me.

I didn't know Bonnie was going to go missing.
