Notes

Among the hidden
Luke is the third child in his family, the youngest of three brothers, which makes him illegal. Only two children are allowed in each family — additional children are usually prevented from being born or are killed. Luke's family lives on a farm, where isolation and a ready food supply have helped hide Luke. Luke found vents in his attic that showed the front and back of the house. Then one day, he was looking out the window that viewed the back, and he thought he saw another child when he made sure every one in the family left. So, he waited for more proof of the child. He witnessed a lot of proof of the other third child, so he started to plan out a visit to the house and to meet the girl. A few days later, he got some guts and went with his plan. He crawled through his yard and made it to the screen door. He tried to open the door but it was locked! So he punched through the screen and started to bleed. That didn't stop him though. He made it into the huge house. Then, he heard the computer and looked around the corner of the wall and saw the girl! When she spotted him, she tackled him and asked who he was. Once Luke told her he was another shadow child, she backed off a little. She accepted it, and then finally remembered her families alarm system. She cancelled it before the security guards showed up and discovered them. That's how Luke and Jen met.
After the population police searched the house of Jen's dad and came up empty, Jen's dad offered Luke a fake I.D. Luke took a little while to decide, but at the end he took the offer for the fake I.D. So, a few days after the decision, Jen's dad came to pick up Luke. Luke said his good-byes to his mom, dad, and two brothers, gave them all hugs, and set off with Jen's dad to go to Luke's new fake family. Once he gets to the new family and they send all the records in for him as Lee Grant, the real son that died in a skiing accident, Luke will be able to act as a normal child like his brothers as he wished he could do. Now, Luke will be able to go to school and do lots of other things like a normal child.
