About 30 minutes later we left the theater and crossed the street to the small gift shops.
"Hey, where's your parents?" Tay asked with a surprised expression? "Are you all related or something?"
Then I turned around to face them. "Well, my parents are at work. But they know where I am. They know I'll be safe. I'm armed with this." I said as I handed them a little yellow box attached to my belt loop on my jeans.
"What is it?" Zac asked looking at it from all angles.
"It's an alarm. If I'm in trouble, I just flip the little lock open and pull out the cord. It will send out a LOUD alarm and scares away anyone who tries to harm us!" I answered as Zac gave it back to me and I let it dangle again.
"Oh, pretty cool. How about you Lolo, where's your parents?" Zac asked as he stepped back with Ike and Tay. We were walking in front of them.
"Well, my parents are at home, they are having a company Christmas party with all their doctor and nurse friends from work." Lolo said as she slowed down to look at a dress in a really fancy store.
"And where's your parents Binkies?" Tay asked her. She didn't seem to be in the conversation. I knew that she was, but she didn't want to be.
"Listen, no offense or anything, but I don't want to talk about it okay?" Binkies said as she speed up her walking. Then all was silent. Except for the faint sound of traffic in the background.
