              I think that the mom and dad are scared. They tell the kids to act like normal, but they can't act normal themselves. They don't understand why the SIM are in there driveway, but they dont want to start any trouble. I think that they should move, so that nothing will happen to the family or the kids. I don't know if they will be safe but its curious to know what there next steps are going to be.

              Personally I would be scared too if police who look into peoples disappearances were searching my house. In the story they haven told us who Carlos Garcia is. There's a lot of people going missing in there neighbor hood, and nobody knows where these people are going. I wonder who's next.
