“Freddy! Get up! There’s something on TV!”
Freddy Clovers groaned. “And the floor is made out of floor. Don’t bother me!”
“But it’s important, Freddy! Come!” James’ voice rang through the house.”
Freddy quickly tossed on some pants, grabbed his toothbrush, and went into his bathroom. Then he ran across the hallway, tripped over his own feet at the head of the stairway, and fell down the stairs.
James laughed, then pointed at the screen. “Look!”
On the TV, a reporter was talking about a lockdown. Melody Clovers went up to the TV and turned it off.
“Melody!” Freddy groaned as he turned on the TV and set her on his lap.
“-due to political issues. We don’t have much info on it yet, but stay tuned for more.”
“What?” James looked at the TV, astonished. “Why? Has the mayor gotten shot or something? Gosh!”
“I’m sure that’s not the reason why, James,” said Freddy, putting Melody onto the ground and going upstairs to wake up Gabe.
Freddy entered, and he saw Gabe underneath the blanket. Gabe groaned as Freddy tossed the blanket aside. “Can I have like, five more minutes?”
“Nope. Not get out or I’ll drag you. Also, there’s a lockdown. So don’t leave Lime Grove.”
“Why would I?” Gabe grunted as he stomped noisily upstairs.
Freddy shrugged, and got some coffee for himself and James.
