Dear Sadie,
Thank you for the care package. It’s the first one I’ve received since I joined up. I never expected to ever get one, to be honest. Maybe this whole pen pal by mistake isn’t such a bad thing after all.
It was fun watching how jealous my squad was as I snuck off to open it in private. I did share some of the cookies. I’m very popular now. ??
Speaking of cookies, what the hell is in a Blackbeard’s Revenge cookie? It’s literally the best cookie I’ve ever had. I had to fight my squad because they all wanted more than one. I’m a team player, but not when it comes to cookies.
It’s good you realize I was right about your parents, since I’m right pretty much all the time. ?? But seriously, talk to them and let me know how it goes. I’m always here to listen.
Thank you for explaining about the mermaids. I was worried I needed to call someone and get your medication changed. Smuggler’s Hideaway sounds like a blast. I grew up in a suburb of Chicago. It wasn’t nearly as fun as
Smuggler’s Hideaway sounds. Although Lake Michigan in the summer is awesome. I love the water. But don’t tell my squad. They’ll make fun of me for being a squid wannabe.
I have patrol in fifteen minutes, so I’m off.
Take care,
Ben
