The Case of the Missing Parents

This is the second book of fiction that I have written after 142 books of medical non fiction.

I hope that you will like the story.

I know that the story of two children who were able to use their courage and ingenuity to defeat their parents’ enemies against all odds and find their parents will be interesting to those who wanted a nice and pleasant story.

Jason is a thirteen year old boy who is interested in computers, science and a green earth.

Jane is his younger sister who shares many interests with her brother. She particularly likes The Story of the Time Travel Watch because it features her hero Uncle John.

Alison is their mother who is also another scientist like her husband. She combines the duty of being a mother with her work as a scientist.

She has invented a lot of inventions together with her husband.

Warren is the father of the children.

He is a senior scientist with the Defense Science and Technology Organization.

He has about two hundred inventions to his name.

Uncle John is a friend of the parents of Jason and Jane.

He is the inventor of the Time Travel Watch who was featured in a short story “The Story of The Time Travel Watch” where he invented the watch to bring back his father to the future so that he can save him from a burst cerebral aneurysm.

Since that story he has been travelling in time to save many friends from misadventure.

He is very close to the family of Warren and Alison.

Tom is a supervisor to Warren in the Defense Science and Technology Organization.

He is the villain in this story and has employed two men to kidnap Warren.

Fortunately Uncle John was able to spoil his plans.

Chapter 1

The Missing Parents

Jason and Jane are two schoolchildren who thought they are ordinary children until one day they return home and find their parents missing.

“Dad, Mum, we are back!” they shouted as they enter their house and threw their schoolbags on the floor.

Normally their parents work from home and will greet them when they come back from school.

Jason was thirteen while Jane was nine years old.

“They are not here” exclaimed Jason.

“Maybe they have gone shopping” replied Jane.

“I’m hungry “ said Jason and helped himself to a jar of cookies.

They brought their schoolbags upstairs to their rooms and started doing their homework.

By 5pm they have finished their homework.

“Mum and Dad are not back yet” exclaimed Jane “They are never that late before”

“Mum and Dad will be home soon.” Said Jason “Let us watch watch some Futurevision”.

Their Futurevision projects a video of a film right in the middle of the room in 3D.

After 1 hour of watching a funny documentary on how to fly to the moon, Jason and Jane became worried.

They called their parents’ phones but there were no answers.

They called all their parents’ friends but none have seen them.

“Maybe they are somewhere in the house but injured or some thing” said Jane ever the pessimist.

Jason and Jane went around the house calling “Dad” and “Mum” as they searched for their parents.

They went to the kitchen and all the rooms of the house until they reached their parents’ workroom.

On one table there was a computer left on while the other table was messy with papers all over the table.

“Hmm” said Jason “Look like they were busy with something and left in a hurry!”

Jason went to the computer and tried to see if there any messages left for them.

There were none.

Jane in the meantime was looking at the books on their parents’ bookshelf behind their desks.

There was a book called “The Story of the Time Travel Watch”. She pulled out that book to read.

Suddenly the book shelf moved aside and a doorway down to a basement appeared.

“Wow!” said Jane “ I never knew that we have a basement!”

Jason also heard the bookshelf moving.

He and Jane decided to go down the basement and explore it.
