Mom and Dad were once again at a meeting downstairs, but this time I was not allowed to be there. And neither were any of the other kids. I didn't think that Reagan and Rika would be there. Nor did I think that Zachary, Zander, Zayden and Zaley would be allowed to go to the meeting. But, well, I thought that I would be allowed to attend at the very least. I mean, I had been part of this whole thing for weeks. I should be allowed to see what it was that was happening.
