It had been a long day. A long..... boring day of trawling around the biggest shop
either of them had ever seen.
.....Just have a nap.....” Mum had said as she left them in the bed section. “We.....ll
fetch you before we leave. .....
That was the last thing Lena and Harrison could remember. When they woke
up..... they knew immediately something was wrong.
“Where is everyone?..... Lena asked nervously.
“I’m not sure.....” Harrison admitted. He looked around them. The shop seemed
darker than before and there was no one around. Not an adult..... not a child, not
even a shop assistant. They were completely on their own.
Slowly..... Lena sat up. .....Do you think they.....ve gone home without us?”
“Either that or everyone suddenly got abducted by aliens,..... Harrison teased.
Lena glared at him. .....This isn.....t funny!”
“It is a bit funny.....” Harrison insisted. Wanting to explore more..... he climbed off
the bed and wandered towards the corridor.
“Harrison wait!..... Lena hissed. .....You might set off an alarm!”
.....So?.....
“Well they might think we.....re… burglars or something.” Lena shuddered.
Carefully..... she tiptoed towards him, grabbing hold of Harrison.....s hand. “If we’re
going to explore, we should at least do it sneakily.”
Harrison grinned. .....Okay. Let.....s start in the kitchen section. If we’re lucky..... we
might even find something to eat.”
