**********

After 1 day a police call us and informed us that mom and dad lost in the Amazon forest, and they couldn't find any trace or signals that came from the helicopter they are in

I looked at lyn and we both cry

***********

I sat in our empty mansion, staring blankly at the wall as I talked to my aunt, Tita Maria.

"Tita, what's going on? Where are Mom and Dad?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.

Tita Maria sighed, her eyes filled with sadness. "Lina, we don't know. They were supposed to be back weeks ago, but...nothing."

Just then, the doorbell rang. Tita Maria got up to answer it.

"Who could that be?" Lyn asked, looking worried.

I shrugged. "I don't know."

Tita Maria came back with a tall, thin man in a suit.

"Lina, this is Mr. Johnson, a lawyer. He says he needs to talk to you about your parents' estate."

I felt a surge of hope. Maybe this lawyer knew something about our parents' disappearance?

Mr. Johnson smiled, his eyes gleaming with a calculating intensity. "Ah, Lina. Nice to meet you. I'm afraid I have some bad news. Your parents' estate is in a bit of a mess."

I frowned, unsure what he meant.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

Mr. Johnson hesitated before answering. "Well, it seems that your parents owed a lot of money to some...unsavory characters. And now that they're...gone, the debt falls to you."

I felt a chill run down my spine. What was he talking about?

"But what about our mansion? And our bank accounts?" I asked.

Mr. Johnson smiled again, his eyes glinting with triumph. "Ah, I'm afraid those are all part of the estate. And according to the papers your parents signed...you're not entitled to any of it."

I felt like I'd been punched in the gut.

"What papers?" I demanded.

Mr. Johnson pulled out a sheaf of documents. "These papers. Your parents signed them before they...left. And now, I'm afraid you have to sign them too."

I hesitated, unsure what to do.

But Mr. Johnson just smiled and handed me a pen.

"Sign here, Lina. It's all just a formality."

I signed the papers, feeling a sense of trepidation.

As soon as I did, Mr. Johnson's smile grew even wider.

"Excellent," he said, pocketing the papers. "Now, I'm afraid you and your sister have to leave. This mansion is no longer yours."

I felt like I'd been kicked in the stomach.

"What? Where are we supposed to go?" I demanded.

Mr. Johnson shrugged. "That's not my problem. You're not my concern anymore."

And with that, he turned and walked out the door, leaving us alone and adrift in the vast, empty mansion that was once our home.
