Savannah was your typical single mom raising her adopted daughter in peace. She looked happy and had everything a woman could ever ask for, but that was far from being true. She is running away from a very dark past that seems to be catching up her...
Going out to the arcade was a good idea. We won so many tickets and Sandy and Nora got matching teddies. They call them 'friendship teddies'.

After the arcade we went out to get some lunch, at a nearby diner. The waitress was openly flirting with Leo, but he completely dismissed her. Eventually he got annoyed and told the waitress where to get off and demanded to get a new one. After all that, everything went well. We then went to the park after lunch and chilled there while the girls were playing.
"So, Savannah, did you maybe get time to think about my proposal." Leo asked in his thick Italian accent.
"Well yeah, I did actually." I replied.
"And what's your answer?" he asked anxiously.
"My answer is yes, but I don't want the money to go directly into my account. I am going to open a new one in Sandy's name, and I want it to go in that account." I said smiling. Leo let out a sigh of relief.
"I am glad, you agreed. I promise you won't regret it." he said grinning.
After our conversation, we just sat in comfortable silence, and I began thinking if this was indeed a right decision. I was caught up in my thoughts until a loud bang brought me back to reality. That wasn't an ordinary bang, it was a gunshot. Gosh not again, I began panicking whilst looking for Nora and Sandy. They came running towards us, and the gunshots were fired in our direction. Leo had his phone out and he was yelling to whoever that was on the other side in Italian. Maybe if this was another situation, that would've been hot. We were running towards my car and the gunshots sounded distant. I took my key out and as I pressed the unlock button, my fucking car exploded and due to the impact, we flew backwards against a wall.
"WHAT IN GOD'S GRACE IS GOING ON?" I yelled out, because nobody and I mean nobody blows up my car. Whoever is responsible for this better pray I don't find them.
"Is everyone okay?" Leo asked checking us for injuries.
"Yeah, we good" I said dusting off myself and helping the girls up.
A black Tahoe pulled up next to us, and Leo opened the door for us.
"Enzo, I want whoever is responsible for this found." he yelled to the driver who I guess is Enzo.
"Yes boss." Enzo responded.
I looked out the window and saw the last face I had expected to see. He smirked and mouthed, 'Found you', then he disappeared into the darkness of the alley.
This can't be possible; how did he find me. I began hyperventilating again. No not again, why do I have to keep going through this. I held my chest to keep my breathes steady but it deemed impossible, I heard my name being called in a distance but the ringing sound in my ear was making everything difficult. Black dots started to appear, and everything went black.
