Ready or Not, Here We Come

This is a children's short story that I hope even the parents enjoy reading. Five year old Joe and three-and-half year old Sam Peters get shuffled off the cruise ship in New York City. It doesn't take them long to get lost and wonder where their next meal will come from. But thank goodness Joe sees a place where people are coming and going with blue suits on. He leads Sam up the long flight of stairs and into the building. Immediately they run into Harry the cop, who listens to their story and takes them to headquarters.

While Harry investigates their story, Pam, another cop feeds them. Then because they haven't solved the investigation yet, Pam takes them home to her apartment for safe keeping. But something has to be done, according to the kids, their parents died on the boat, and they were hurdled through the crowds leaving the ship and lost in New York City.
