  This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author's consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.

  I wrote this as they were trying to get through the barricade I just set up.

  They are after the object, I do not know what its for, but they seem extremely desperate.

  If they don't find this note or the item, Check underneath the floorboard beneath the bed, the object is hidden there.

  If you do find this note, please do not harm my father.

  And if your a citizen of the alliance please send for the kni-

  I must hide this, Wish me luck!
