It was getting late and they were about half way home. Ike was having a hard time staying up. He told the kids to talk to him. First Theo and then April. This told April about how she was all over the news and they had search parties and rewards for whoever found her. She was in shock. Thoe asked about what had happened and if she knew Jack Leeper. She said she had wrote him letters because he seemed lonely. She had never met him and knew little about him. Se had feel asleep the night her father had came to get her and she heard knocking and slamming on her door. She thought it was a dream and came to realize it wasn't and was so scared. He dad tod her to go with him and he said he had talked to her mother and principal and they both said it was okay. He had lied to her and she had no idea no one knew where she was. Theo told he about the body they found in the river, and how everyone thought she was dead. They got to Theo's house very later and wen they pulled in Aprils mother was there. She ran to April and gave her a huge hug. Theo and Ike went inside. Theo said hello to his parents and detective Slater. They were all so pleased to see April. Theo's dad was curious to how Theo found April and he wanted to know all the details. Detective Slater  wanted just five minutes with April and her mother to ask a few questions. He asked if e forced her to leave or if she ever wante to run away while she was with him. She said no ad he decided it would be in civil court not criminal court. Early that morning Slater wet to get Leeper and they asked where April was one last time. He said 100 miles or so away. They told him he was a liar and she was home safe. He was to go back to California and finish his time in a more watched and guarded cell. Marcella Boone, Theo's mom, filed a petition that was accepted to be Aprils temporary guardian. Aprils father came home Monday night. No one had much to say. He was told there was a hearing in civil court Tuesday at 9:00 am.
