Summer holidays were never calm in the Sidle and Curtis household. Four children, who most of the year attended school, or in JJ’s case, preschool, would suddenly have a huge amount of free time. And everyone knows that kids with too much free time are bound to cause trouble.

Also, Sofia and Sara couldn’t just put their jobs on hold because their children were on holiday. After all there were crime scenes to process and killers to catch and they didn’t go on vacation either.

It was on one of these days, when the two women were working, that Alex was designated the babysitter.

A loud crash and a yelled “Arrrrghhhhhhh!!!” had her jumping out of bed, still half asleep and hair sticking in every direction, and dashing to the living room to find it empty. Frowning, she checked the kitchen clock only to realize it was 7 o’clock in the morning, which meant her siblings were still in bed. Even more confused than before and not at all happy at being up before 9 a.m. during the holidays, she turned to head back to her room.

Then she heard it. Mrs. Jenkins, everyone’s favourite neighbour, yelled very loudly with the newspaper boy for nearly running over five of her cats. Wincing at some of her words, Alex moved to the front door - since she was up, she wasn’t gonna miss the show.

Leaning against the doorjamb, she watched as the boy apologized over and over again. Her eyes nearly bulged out, when their neighbour started waving a rolling pin around in the air. Torn between wanting to help the boy and not wanting to deal with Mrs. Jenkins, the decision was taken from her hands when Mr. Carter dashed from across the street, arms flailing in the air.

Awoken by the yelling, Tommy, Jill and JJ peaked around their sister to see what was going on. “What happened?” the blonde haired girl asked.

“I think the newspaper boy nearly ran over Mrs. Jenkins’ cats and fell into her flowers.” Alex answered.

“Urgghh. She has too many cats anyway. A few less wouldn’t make a difference.” Tommy commented, yawning hugely.

They heard another yell and JJ hid behind his big sister, as Mrs. Jenkins started chasing Mr. Carter and the boy around her front yard and street, rolling pin held high. Alex had to pinch herself hard to make sure she wasn’t dreaming, but then they all burst out laughing when their neighbour almost tripped over her own cats.

When the two men outran the older woman and fled into Mr. Carter’s house, she turned around and noticed the devils that lived next door.

The Sidle Curtis kids all stopped laughing instantly and gulped. Mrs. Jenkins let out an enraged cry and charged forward, much like a warrior at the battlefront.

Jill screamed and ran to her room; Tommy dived behind a couch in the living room. Alex watched in horror as JJ sprang forward and bolted toward Mrs. Jenkins. To her and all the watching neighbours’ surprise, James Junior dove between the woman’s legs and came out on the other side laughing madly.

Mrs. Jenkins dropped the rolling pin to hold her skirt in place and glared at the little boy. He just grinned and waved, which set the woman after him.



Sofia was fully aware that she had worked a double shift and hadn’t had much sleep, but she thought she’d lost her mind for good when she approached her house. Blinking several times in the hopes of not submitting to insanity, Sofia watched as a madly laughing JJ ran away from an irate Mrs. Jenkins. She nearly drove into a bush on her front lawn when a rolling pin flew past her windshield.

Parking the car, she noticed a dumbstruck Alex at the door, mouth hanging open. Her other two children peaked around the brunette girl. Using the car as cover – as she did whenever there was a shootout – Sofia moved to the front door.

“What…?” the detective couldn’t even begin to formulate a sentence and Alex shook her head and looked helplessly at her.

“I think I woke up in a parallel universe…” was the girl’s response.

Amidst the cheering from the neighbours, JJ sped past Mr. Carter and high-fived him. The man had to quickly retreat back into his house as Mrs. Jenkins ran past, wielding a pan.

“Where did she get THAT?” Sofia asked. “She just threw a rolling pin, so where…?” She never got an answer…
