MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

(Lexie)

We don’t hear anything on the walkie-talkie for three minutes.  Then, four.  Then, five.  Then, there’s a knock at the door.  

“Lexie, Shane’s here!” Dad calls.

I hold my breath.  In a few seconds, Shane is standing in the doorway of the bedroom.  He comes in, closes the door and takes off his backpack.  

Then, I see it.  He takes out my candy and lays it on my bed.

“Mission accomplished,” Shane says proudly.

I give him the biggest hug ever.  

He hugs me, too, and then says, “I better go home before Connor is covered in glitter.”

“Thank you, Shane.  And tell Connor thanks, too!” I say.

“No problem.  What are friends for?” Shane asks, sending us a smile before he leaves again.
