My boat! Why should this happen to me?! I definitely think it was Paine Underwood who set my precious boat on fire. There is no doubt in my mind that it was him. Oh wait one second I have a call from lieutenant shucker.
What?! How could that be? After two visits from the lieutenant, the Underwood’s proved it wasn’t Paine. I think they’re lying but lieutenant said they had proof. I will write again when I find out who did it... I’m too bummed right now.
Well now I know who did it. It was my much too stupid son and his best friend who supposedly saved his life who had started the fire. They snuck some of my Cuban cigars and a twelve pack of beer and had a party of their own down in one of the storage areas. Let’s just say after jasper inhaled a deep drag, he spit the cigar and it landed in an open crate of fireworks. I thought they left so I headed home. Later on that night, my boat was in flames thanks to jasper and bull. Oh well got to go punish them for what they did to my boat.

Abby snuck out of the house last night just to prove that I was right about my accusation and I lost it. I pried off the ankle bracelet for the house arrest I was on and took off with Donna and Noah to go find our little girl Abby. I mean we found her, but it scared me so much to think what might have happened to her if we didn’t find her. Can you believe it? She went out to go videotape dust’s crew emptying out the septic tank just to prove I wasn't crazy and that I was actually right. I am so glad she’s safe that I am going to drop the accusations I had against dusty and his crew. It wouldn’t be worth it if Abby had gotten hurt. You know, I shouldn't have ever even made an accusation.

OH NO! I heard Noah yell Geronimo but I can’t seem to get the boat moving. AHH! I better hurry I can hear luno screaming at Noah. I hope he doesn’t get hurt. Oh no… what do I do? This can’t happen. I wonder if he can swim it this water. It’s filthy. Let’s hope he makes it in time cause what will happen to our family if he dies? No, no, no… I can’t think that way. He will get here in time. YES! It finally started working up! There he is! EWW! He was covered poo and pee water. At least he’s back and he wasn’t hurt. Oh goodness. The stupid boat isn’t working again. NO! We’re drifting back to the dock…wait a second…is that a gun?! Luno was holding a gun and Noah just jumped on me. Ouch! Oh my gosh…is that who I think it is?! It is! it’s the old pirate with the scar on his face! Amazing…well at least we are safe now. Noah finally got the boat working, so now we can go home in time and we won’t get in trouble. Yes!

Paine Underwood

That was it... I couldn’t take it anymore...I escaped jail and went back home. At least im just on house arrest and im not actually in jail. This way I can stay at home with my family…right? I know that wasn’t the best choice but they made a gag order and I had no one to talk to, they were all ignoring me. I had to make a choice, either stay and be miserable or go back home where I was needed. I mean Donna could have posted the bail but that would have cost money and when I escaped that cost nothing so that was good. But my wife Donna just explained to me that they were getting ready to evict me, bail or no bail so I could get in even more trouble. That is not very good

Donna Underwood

Paine, that was the last straw. We can’t keep living like this. It is a horrible life style! You put our family in danger and now we are just about broke. The only money we have coming in is from me and that is not enough. We need you at home working and supporting our family. If it is to get you back home where you belong we can save up so we could bail you out. Paine, I am ready to take the kids off to live a 'normal' lifestyle. This is not at all healthy for them to see you in jail. And your interview?! Were you trying to embarrass us? Paine I can’t keep saying this but you need to ether come home or we will leave. It is entirely up to you. I mean, how do you think Abby and Noah feel about having their dad in jail? To have all of the kids tease them and bully them? Were you just thinking of yourself when you sunk his boat? Was that it? Paine, unless you let me post your bail, we done. I’m so sorry it had to be this way but I’m just thinking of our kids.

Oh that was the scary. Abby and I were riding on our bicycles home when jasper jr. and bull came up from behind us. They took us into the Australian pines and jasper took it up on me while bull went towards my sister. No longer than a minute, I herd bull scream of pain. I turned around and saw Abby crunch down on bull's earlobe like a hungry alligator. The noise that came out of him didn’t even sound human! I told her to let go but she was worried about me... jasper put me in headlock and it hurt to breath. I saw true fear in Abby’s eyes. Thank goodness an old man came to our rescue and jasper let go. It felt so good to be able to breathe again. The old man that came had tan skin and had an m shaped scar on his face and a gold coin hanging down from his neck. For some odd reason, he knew mine and Abby’s name. Both of our eyes widened when we heard our names come out of his mouth. We were scared and so were jasper and bull. We biked home as fast as we could with out looking back. Maybe we will see him again. But then again, maybe not.
