Little Troublemakers

They're at it again, those little troublemakers.

Mia thinks I'm pushing Kate too hard. Am I? I just want her to get a good education, so she can get a job and support her family. I don't want her to end up like me. I'm dumb. I can't do simple math. And she struggles with that...she struggles with math. Jon helps her, but she yells at me for making her study. She's not in school anymore, so what am I supposed to do? Let her lose her knowledge?

Jon took Kate, Mia, and Robert back to the park where we saw the footprints. They weren't human, is all I can say. But they weren't from an animal either. I've never seen those before, so I guess it is a possibility it could just be something we don't know about. It's suspicious.

I gave Kate my knife to bring with her. If anything happened to that girl...I don't know what I would do. Mia and Jon have their own weapons, but Jon handles the guns. I don't know what Rob's plans are, but I trust he can take care of himself. I'm staying back at the house to make sure no one breaks in. Yes, Jon's that paranoid.

Now that Kate knows what's going on, I think she'll be okay. Jon let me know he had a little talk with her about it. She promised not to tell.

As for her parents. We've taken care of that. Don't worry, though. It's not like we've killed them or something.
