Chapter One
Babysitting Marti
"Ok Derek, watch Marti carefully, no sweets, read at least one book to her and lights out at 8:00." Nora said demandingly.
"Yes Nora, don't worry, Sam and I will take good care of her." Derek said reassuringly looking up for Babe Raider.
"Bye." Sam waved at Nora and George.
"Ok kids, be good." George points at Sam and Derek.
Nora and George shut the front door to leave Derek, Sam, and Marti all alone in the house.
"Hey man, sorry about having to watch Marti tonight. But at least Casey is at Emily's, and Lizzie and Edwin are at sleepovers." Derek said apologetically.
"No prob, I don't care. How much work can a 6 year old be? I just wish Casey were here." Sam said sadly.
"Oh god, do we have to talk about Casey?" Derek said with an annoyed tone.
"No." Sam replied with a small laugh.
"Smerick, can Marti go outside, pwease!" Marti says to Derek with a sweet innocent look on her face. Sam laughs.
"Smarti, no, why don't you go upstairs and play with your dollhouse for a while. Sam and I will come up soon."
"Ok!" Marti says cheerfully.
30 Minutes later
"I'm so gonna beat you in this round!" Derek said.
"Yeah and…" Sam is interrupted by a big crash.
"What the heck was that?" Derek said with a concerned look on his face.
"Let's go look." Sam said while getting up off the couch.
The two boys walk upstairs.
"Smarti, where are you?" Derek calls out.
"Marti!" Sam joins in.
The boys walk into Marti's room to see the window screen with a hole in it and no Marti.
"Oh my god! Marti?" Derek yells out worriedly.
"Dude I think she fell out the window!" Sam said with a concerned tone.
Both boys look out the window to see an unmoving Marti lying on the grass beneath the window. They both run downstairs and open the door to the backyard. Derek and Sam run over to Marti.
"Smarti, Smarti, wake on!" Derek says while pushing Marti a little.
"She has blood on her head. I don't think she can hear us. I think she may be unconscious." Sam says worriedly.
"Sam, go call 911, I'll stay with Marti." Derek says demandingly.
Sam gets up and runs into the house to dial 911.
"Come on Marti, please be ok." Derek says over and over to Marti with a depressed look on his face.
