Theodore Boone 3
Theo was in his office which was a small room in the court house. It looked as real as any other lawyers office but it was much smaller. Theo was in the dark thinking, sort of convincing himself the body found in the river. He could not wait for Leeper's trial. He thought that because he was such good friends with April he might get called as a witness. He could picture himself sitting at the witness stand telling all the things he knew, how scared she was and how she had been a lone a lot. The more he thought about it the more he couldn't wait. It did not look as if someone had broken in to get April so he was convinced her cousin, Jack Leeper, persuaded her to him in. The more he say and thought he remembered being friends with April for a long time. She came here for kindergarten and moved away. She came back around fourth grade and that's when they became good friends. April wasn't popular but she wasn't unpopular. She was so nice and kind hearted. One gym class Theo was having and asthma attack he sat with him on the bench explaining that we has asthma too. He started to become really sad remembering him and he looked at the picture he had hanging in his wall that she had drawn for him. There was a knock on the door and it was his father, the police wanted to talk to him. They all say in a room, him, his mom, his dad, and the two police officers. They asked him about what April might have been wearing and what he has ever bought for her like clothing. They explained that the body was very decomposed and that they were doing a DNA test. Theo was quiet and in disbelief. Theo went to a basketball game with his friend who's parents were also lawyers, and both of their moms. Their moms took them out for the day to get their minds off of April. It was hard to have a conversation without April coming into conversation. The next day he had to go to school, there was no new news on April but his uncle Ike had called and asked for him to come over early to talk, which was unusual. When he got there his uncle went on to explain that "his people" had told him that the body is was to decomposed to be April. It was taller than April and they were almost certain it wasn't her. He asked who it was and they didn't know but he did explain the bates case in which he claimed to be missing and set a car on fire with someone else's body in it. He was trying to say it could be anyone and some people are unaccounted for so no one would know they were missing. Ike said he could spread this information because it was going to be in the news at 9. He got to school and told his first period class, pretending to be a lawyer that he really looked up to. They had an unplanned assembly just for his grade. The teachers wanted them to watch the news about their classmate April as a class. The teacher turned onto the news and they all watched together.

Theodore Boone 2
Theo and his class mates try to return to class and carry on. The days are just not normal. Everyone is quiet and worried about where April is and if shes okay. Theo normally goes to the soccer games after school for extra credit. He went for a little and suck out to the office when his teacher was distracted. Him and his friends had planned a smaller search party with less people to hand out the flyers. As they were riding around they saw some commotion from underneath the bridge. Lost of police cars and helicopters and some ambulances. The boys got stopped by the police as they were trying to get closer to the scene. Theo's good friend brought them through the woods to a spot where they could see it perfectly but not bee seen. They had found a body in the river. Theo's mom called and he told her he had just left the soccer game and would be home soon. Before this all happened they had interviewed Jack Lepper. They asked him many questions and he asked for them to make him a deal. He wanted them to put him in a nicer jail and pay him money and he would tell them where April was. The police officers said that they would not do it and Jack said they could not force him to say another word.

Theodore Boone
I am reading the book Theodore Boone The Abduction. It is the second book in the series Theodore Boone. Theodore Boone wants to grow up to be a lawyer. Both of his parents are lawyers at Boone and Boone. Theo woke up really early one morning to his parents waking him up telling him the news about his friend April. She had gone missing. No one knows where she went. April had a hard life. Her parents were not always home and they were bickering most of the time. April and Theo talked almost every night before bed and they talked a lot in school too. As normal, Theo had been talking to April the night before she was missing. They said goodnight as they always had and both went to bed. Next thing you know Theo's parents were waking him up and rushing over to the Fennimore's house. Their house was not that nice and most parents would not let their kids go over there. This is why April did not have a lot of friends. Everyone liked April but she was hard to hangout with. April had been writing to her cousin who was in jail, He has recently escaped and he is the main suspect of the kidnapping of April. Who ever took her did not leave much time for her to bring any of her belongings she was in her favorite pajamas and she was not wearing shoes. Theo was in charge of the group of kids that got together and rode around town posting and handing out 'missing' flyers with Aprils face on them. They got in trouble by the police and were no longer allowed to hang the flyers on light posts or anything but they could hand them out to people and they had to be off the streets at seven o'clock. The suspect, Jack Leeper was spotted in the sketchy part of town, underneath the bridge. Police asked Jack where April was and he said that they would never find her. He would tell if she was dead or alive all he said was that they would never find her.
