Who Do You Believe? (Prolouge)

"I think there were two.....I don't remember.....I didn't look at them because the instant I saw them...I knew that someone was lying to me..."1

The day was chilly and the leaves were starting to fall.  I walked over to the Johnson's house like I normally do these days, but for some reason it was different.  The house seemed darker than normal, not the lighting, but the feeling.  Len was sitting at the computer and Stephen and John were jumping all over me like usual.  But Len had a dreary, tired look to him. When I sat down on the couch, Stephen came up to me to show the the pictures his uncle had drawn the week previous.  They were all very nice and real to life.  But the one that stuck out the most, was the one of the cigarrette.3

I looked up at Len and told him that I didn't think it was appropriate for a 6 year old to be carrying around a picture of a cigarrette.  That's when he put his hand up to his mouth and motioned smoking and this whispered the name of his wife, Dawn.  This completely shocked me and I felt a wave of neasue run through my body.  I motioned what to him and he told me that there were a lot of things going on that I didn't know about.  A lot of really bad things.  4
