Lief dagboek,

ik schrijf nu weer, op dezelfde dag, denk ik. We zitten in een vliegtuig naar Amerika. Met we bedoel ik mama, Dylan, Raquel en ik. Papa is misschien ontvoerd. Waarom we naar Amerika gaan en voor hoe lang weet ik niet, maar alle spullen die je mee zou nemen als je tijdelijk uit je huis gaat, moesten mee. Alle kleren, sieraden, spelletjes, boeken en schoenen. Ik snap het niet meer...

Maar ik moet gaan. We gaan eten en dan slapen.

"What do you want to eat?" asks the man. "What do you have?" is what we ask. "Well, french fries, steak or just an all you can eat buffet." "I'll take the buffet," says Dylan. He eats so much, for like 2 or 3 people! "French fries and a steak, or do you have hamburgers too?" asks Raquel. The man answers:" We have hamburgers and cheeseburgers." "Then I'll take fries and a cheeseburger instead." "The buffet, please," says my mom. "And you?" he asks me. "The buffet. I'm hungry." I forgot to eat all day long! "Okay, me too." He orders a buffet, french fries and a cheeseburger. Then he sits down. "What is your name?" asks Dylan. I wanted to ask that! "Call me Baldwin." We all fell silent. "Is this some sort of code name?" Raquel asks looking like he is crazy. "No it isn't. My code name is daddy." I feel like my stomach is slowly turning its self up side down. "Why are we allowed to know all that?" I ask. "’Cause I am coming with you." ... "Your dad knows me as Sergio," he says to break the silence. "I know that name. Are you from Kimbrough in America?" I ask him: "What were you doing there?" "Yes, and making sure everybody was safe." "But why weren't you here when my dad was here?" asks Dylan. "You know David, right? He was checking your dad out at his last job and he got a job at Kimbrough Holland just to keep an eye on you dad." "Then you go a long way to protect people," my mom says. "Now that is a misunderstanding. We are hired by Kimbrough." "But why are we going to America?" I ask him. I really want to know. "Well you dad was important, very important. He invented a lot of new things in his sector and all the other sectors. He was the one who knew everything. So, one of the best targets in a company. Kimbrough feared something like this and set up a program for safety." "So flying all the members of a family to America is a safety program." "No, flying all the members of all the families of all the important people to one exact location and protect them. That is a safety program." We all fell silent again. A while after dinner we decided to go to bed. It had been a long day.
