That\u2019s why she kidnapped Jennifer.\u201d \u201cYeah,\u201d Paul added. \u201cShe probably would have tried to grab you and Andrew too if she had seen the chance.\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t think she loves us anymore,\u201d Andrew said, his eyes full of sadness. \u201cYes, she does,\u201d Steven insisted. \u201cShe\u2019s just been led astray by evil men.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jennifer looked perplexed. \u201cDo you mean she kidnapped me because she loved me?\u201d \u201cYes,\u201d Steven said.

Maybe she thinks Jennifer died in the explosion.\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s right.\u201d Steven said. \u201cThat shows you how insensitive I am. I never thought about what Selena might be going through. What do you think I should do?\u201d Mary thought a moment, then said, \u201cYou could call the Aldridge house and tell them what happened. I have their phone number on the LLDS list we made up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, of course.\u201d Steven took the list from Mary and, going to the phone, dialed the number. Martha Aldridge answered the call. After explaining what happened to Jennifer, he hung up and returned the list to Mary. \u201cI\u2019m glad we did that,\u201d Steven said.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>This is a work of fiction, and the views expressed herein are the sole responsibility of the author.

OceanofPDF.com CHAPTER 1 The lemonade vibrated in the glass sitting on the arm of the chair. Steven stared at it a few seconds without understanding the cause of the unusual movement. It reminded him of the pools of water which trembled just before the great tyrannosaurus appeared in the movie Jurassic Park.<\/p>\n<p>The picture frames began to rattle violently on the walls. He looked around the room trying to figure out what was happening. Then he realized it was nothing more than a small earthquake, similar to the one he had felt in California while visiting his sister and her husband the summer before. Still Steven was surprised. He had lived in Provo all his life and couldn\u2019t remember experiencing a single earthquake.<\/p>\n<p>His three children, who had been playing Parcheesi on the kitchen table, rushed into the living room, eyes wide with excitement. First Andrew, then William and Jennifer. \u201cDad, did you feel that?\u201d Andrew said with a mixture of fear and enthusiasm. William rolled his clear blue eyes and smacked his lips at the obvious naivety of his eight-year-old brother. \u201cOf course he felt it, stupid, what do you think?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At twelve years old, William loved to set his younger brother and sister straight. He was into disaster movies and was constantly trying to convince his father to let him see them on television and at the local movie theater. William pushed past Andrew and came to his father\u2019s chair. \u201cHey, Dad, do you think there\u2019s going to be a bigger one in a little while?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>he said hopefully. \u201cI don\u2019t know. I suppose we might get some aftershocks. William, please don\u2019t call your brother stupid.\u201d William ignored his father\u2019s reprimand. \u201cGosh.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>This is a short excerpt from the opening of &ldquo;&rdquo; by Unknown, quoted for review and introduction purposes.
