After a few minutes, the door was thrown open and I seen him..
Elvis Presley.

Elvis walked into the room and he looked pissed as well but I could tell that he was trying to keep calm.
I had assumed that he was pissed off at me like the security guards, the workers, and Mr. Parker was but he went after Mr. Parker instead.
He and his friends, the Memphis Mafia, made him leave, not paying any attention to the fact that I was still in here until the Colonel was gone.
Once the Colonel was gone Elvis sent the Memphis Mafia out of the room before helping me up off of the floor in the corner where I had been when Mr. Parker was yelling at me.
He made me go over to the couch that he was sitting on and patted the seat beside him, seeming more calm than he was when he made Mr. Parker leave.
As soon as I sat down he turned to me and calmly asked,
"What's your name, young lady?"
"Delilah Jensen, s-sir.."
"So Delilah, I heard that you were selling counterfeit tickets outside for this building. Is that true?"
I nodded slightly, "y-yeah"
"Why were you doing that? Don't you know that it's illegal to sell tickets without a permit?"
"Y-yeah, I knew"
"Then why'd you do it if you knew that you'd get into trouble?"
"I needed money to get on a train to Atlanta..to see my grandmother"
"Where's your parents? I'm sure that they're worried about you"
"They're not"
"How do you know that for sure?"
"My mother's outside with my sisters..but I won't go back with them"
"Why not? They're your family"
"Call them what you'd like but I don't consider them family"
"Why not?"
"I'd just rather be with my grandmother instead of here with my mother"
Elvis asked a few more questions before having two of his bodyguards take me to my mother.
I knew that he wouldn't keep me and I hadn't expected him to but I was hoping that he'd atleast let me out the back door so that I didn't have to face my mother and sisters.
As I got outside and they found my mother, she pretended to be grateful that they had found me but I could tell that she was angry, furious even.
