Samantha's pov
It was Saturday and it was just me and Dan at the academy. I was playing outside drawing with chalk while Dan was doing boring office work. I got bored playing and walked into his office. "Dad I'm bored," I whined while hopping into his lap. "Go play or take a nap," he said never taking his eyes off his work. I left his office and went back outside. Well if he was going to be cranky I'll play by myself. He's the one that needs a nap. I go around the building to get my soccer ball but I stopped dead in my tracks. There in front of me was the golf cart they used to do various yard work. Sometimes Dan or the other sergeants here take me on rides. I walk up to it and sat in the seat and to my luck the key was there. Hey I think I could drive it. It couldn't be that hard could it. I twisted the key around and it started right up. I was trying to reach the gas pedal but my legs were to short but I realized if I stood I could reach it. I started driving having a ball. But what I didn't realized was a huge hole in the grass. The cart hit the hole and tipped the whole thing over right on my arm. I heard a snap and instantly felt harsh pain shoot through my body. I started crying. No let me rephrase that I was screaming trying to get the cart off of me but I couldn't. It didn't budge.Dans pov
I was sitting in my office trying to finish paper work. When I stopped a minute it was too quiet, way too quiet. Where was my kid. I got up from my desk and went outside and I heard a blood curdling scream. It sounded like Samantha. I ran over and I see the golf cart tipped on its side with my kid under it. I ran over and lifted it up. Samantha was still screaming. I lifted her up ready to beat her ass until I felt something warm on my leg. I looked down with the screaming child in my arms and saw blood. Not just a little blood but a lot. I kneeled on the ground and laid her down. The sight I saw then was something that didn't look human, her arm was hanging and her bone was sticking right out of the middle. Reality finally sunk and I carefully picked her up and laid her in the back of my jeep. She still was screaming. "Honey look at me,I said while lifting her chin up. "You need to try to calm down. You are badly injured, your screaming is making it worse. Her screams turned into light sobs. I ran to the front of my jeep and hoped in. I was driving as fast as I could to the hospital. Suddenly Samantha stopped completely making noise and started seizing I went even faster. I didn't know what to do. My child's bone was sticking out of her arm and now she's having a seizure.I pulled up to the er and some lady came out to meet me with a bed her and another nurse laid her in the bed. They rushed into the hospital screaming a bunch of words I couldn't understand at the time. They went to a set of doors and ran in taking the only person I love with them and left me in there dust. Praying to god she was ok. Some lady brought me into the waiting room and I sat and sat and sat for 3 hours before someone finally came and called her name. I hoped up and ran over to her. "Where's my kid. I want to see her right now." I said while trying to stay calm. "Mr. Anderson. She is in recovery right now. She had surgery to put her bone back in place with metal rods. She also suffered minor damage to her head. She has a minor concussion. As for right now, you are not allowed to be alone with her. We suspect there is child abused in play with some of her injuries. "She said while looking at me like a criminal. I wasn't the criminal. I arrested them for a living. "Mam you have it all wrong I would never hurt my child, I've never hurt her a day in her life. I said with tears almost coming out of my eyes. She slowly nodded and brought me back to a white office. A grey haired man was sitting at the desk and motioned me to sit down. "Hello mr. Anderson, my name is doctor smith and I was assigned your daughter. After I evaluated her, I saw some injuries that alarmed me. I would like you to tell me what happened and how she had so many injuries." He said while looking coldly at me. " I would never hurt that little girl. I love her and would kill for her. I never harmed a single hair on that kids head." I said trying to get the man to believe me.
"I understand mr. Anderson. But her injuries are serious. I need to know what happened. " he said. "I was sitting in my office working, when she decided to drive the golf cart and she must of hit a hole or something and it tipped over on her and on the way here she started having a seizure," he nodded his head after I was finish speaking," do you usually let her play by herself without adult supervision and engage in dangerous activities". He said while looking straight at me. I was shocked. "Sir I'm a sergeant at the police academy up the road. I would never let my child engage in dangerous activities and someone is usually always watching her. I just needed to get work down. She was being good one minute drawing with chalk and the next minute I notice a golf cart on top of her." I say ready to flip the desk over. "Alright sir. I will think about what you said and see what Samantha says when she wakes up. But for now she is in the states custody until we speak to her. You may come back in the morning," I looked stunned at what he just said, "your taking my kid away from me, you can't do that. She's the only thing I care about. I did not hurt her." I scream. He looked at me unfazed. Mr. Anderson you may come back tomorrow when we cleared things up. But for now I'm asking you to leave. I felt like my earth was crashing down. "Please just let me see her. I will leave I just need to see her." He looked at me for a moment, " I will let you have a supervised visit for 5 minutes. Then you will be leaving." I nodded my head and stood up. He led me down to her room and we walked in what I say laying in the bed did not look like my beautiful baby. In the bed lied a little girl with a bandage wrapped around her head and her arm wrapped up. I walked to the side of her bed and collapse in the seat. I grabbed her good arm and wrap my fingers in hers. She started stirring and opened one eye. Her other eye was swollen shut. "Daddy" she said in a whisper. I rubbed her face. "Hi baby. How are you feeling." I said. "I hurt really bad" she said and held my hand tighter. "Ok mr. Anderson. It's time to go. She needs to rest, smith said putting a hand on my shoulder. I started to get up. But Samantha did not let go of my hand. "Daddy don't leave me here, I'm sorry I stole the cart. Please don't go." She started crying. "Samantha it's ok. I'll be back tomorrow I promise. She started sobbing and smith pulled me out. I left with out saying a word to anyone. As I got into my jeep i laid my head on my steering wheel and cried for the first time in years. I just sob. They took the only thing I cared about. The only thing I loved.
I drove home and went straight to my bed and laid down. I fell asleep and awoke to my phone ringing around 4 in the morning. I sleepily answered it. "Hello". "Is this mr. Anderson,"a person ask. I quickly answered back this is he. "Well I'm here at the hospital with a very upset little girl refusing to take medicine or anything until her daddy comes. I jumped out of bed. I'll be right there. I drove in the dark as fast as I could to the hospital and ran inside. The nurse led me back to my child's room. I could hear her screaming and a nurse quietly trying to calm her down. Before I got to the door. Smith came out. "Sorry for all the trouble mr. Anderson but after speaking with the child. We see your story matches up. If you get her to take the medicine we will have a nurse come in. Give you further instructions and you may leave with the child. I nod and walk in. I grab the cup from the nurse and sit on Samantha's bed. She was still throwing a tantrum. "Samantha Lee Anderson, you stop that right now and take your medicine so we can go home." I ordered. She stops completely and looks at me. I give her the medicine and lift her up I hug her and kiss her forehead. I see they took the bandage off her arm and put a bright pink cast in place. The nurse comes in and gives me pain medication and instructions about her head. I changed her into clothing and carried her out to my car. I buckled her car seat up and drove home. "Daddy are you really mad at me," she asks looking down. "I'm not mad at you. But if you ever do something so stupid again. I will beat your ass so bad you won't sit until your 20, understand." I say sternly. "Yes sir." She says back. "You scared the hell out of me young lady" I say while looking in the mirror at her. "I'm sorry daddy". I pull into the drive. And carry her into the house. I walk to her room. "You need to try to rest" I say while laying her down. "Wait daddy can you lay with me. " she says. I get into bed with her and she climbs and lays her head on my chest. I lay there while she sleeps I wrap my arms around her body. I'm never letting her go.
Thanks for all the likes on chapter 2. I think it's really awesome to see people actually liking my story. Maybe for the next one I can have someone other than Dan deal with Samantha. Would you guys like that or do you want Dan to be the primary person. :)
