Maisie Milkovich sat on the bench of a park as she watched Debbie Gallagher make sure some man wasn't watching before picking up a little boy and running of with him in her arms.
"Thats illegal you know, kidnapping a child" Maisie ran after the girl in need of some adventure and illegal shit that didn't involve her brother and beating the shit out of people that made little comments about him or her family.
"It's also illegal to kill people, rob peoples houses and beat randoms up in the street, yet you all do it" Debbie fired back picking her pace up a bit as she tried to get away from the girl. "Let me come with you, I'm bored" she begged jogging slightly to catch up with her.

"What the fuck" Maisie screamed as she walked out of Debbie's bedroom to find a brunette man attempting to swing a bat at her. "Milkovich" Fiona exclaimed turning to the other red haired girl who came out the room shortly after.
"You need to sort your aim out. I'm ten and managed to hit Lip several times with one yesterday" she smiled proudly as Fiona's mouth hung up as she tried to form a sentence.
"Thought you went to the park." She turned to face Debbie who shrugged off the comment her new friend made who was now trying to take the bat of Fiona's boyfriend and attempting to hit him with it to prove a point.
"I... came back." She stuttered ignoring Steve's little screams as Maisie continuously tried to hit him every second jumping back to avoid the painful hit. "Are you okay?" Fiona questioned crouching down next to her sister in worry.
"Katie Crasden's having a party." she pouted fiddling with the toy in her hand. "Give me that" Steve finally managed to take the bat of the girl joining Fiona's side and crouching down in front of Debbie to speak to her.
"Katie Crasden?"
"Two streets over."
"And she... didn't invite you?" Steve asked coming up with a solution to why Debbie seemed to be acting so strange. "She's only three." Maisie smiled raising her brows at the man as she mouthed several curse words at him.
"What happened?" Fiona asked confused what was wrong with the girl and why she had invited Maisie Milkovich round out of anyone.
"Well, I was just walking past, and her dad, he..." Debbie started her sentence trying to decide where to go with it next. "Her dad did what?" The brunette woman quivered sending Steve a worried glance.
"He was laughing and playing with them, and it just...It wasn't fair." She cried.
"What wasn't fair? What?" Fiona stood up slightly trying to get at what the girl was getting at. "Everything. So I, I, um...I stole something." She gulped looking past her room door to make sure the little boy was still in there.
"Oh...So nobody touched you?" Fiona let out a sigh of relief was Steve rolled his eyes trying to get his breath back. "You nearly gave me a heart attack."
"A bike. Race car... Don't hit the train!"
"Debbie?" Fiona looked back at Liam to see it wasn't him speaking but was instead a noise coming from Debbie's room. She opened the door to reveal a blonde little boy with red lipstick smeared all over his face. "We stole a baby" Maisie grinned from ear to ear as she looked up at Steve who rubbed his forehead in distress.
"Who the hell is that?" Fiona exclaimed her voice going high pitched as she closed the door again trying to have a private conversation with the two girls without losing her shit.
"Debbie, why would you steal a little girl?" Fiona shouted crouching down to lift the hat of the child to reveal it as a boy. "Why would you steal a little boy and dress him like a little girl?" She corrected herself looking at the two girls in front of her one who looked as though they were going to cry and another looking quite proud of herself.
"I wanted a girl, but there weren't any."
"Then back to my initial question: Why would you steal a baby at all?" She hissed as Steve stood there looking down at the baby in front of him in shock. "I miss Ginger." She blurted out Maisie piecing her brows together in confusion.
"Who?" Steve looked at the red haired girl as if she had officially gone insane. "You took away Aunt Ginger!"
"Who is Aunt Ginger?" Maisie asked looking up at the woman who closed her eyes trying not to reveal too much to the girl. "Somebody we borrowed from V's nursing home."
"Oh so you stole an old woman" she corrected the older woman who tried to make things appear less illegal to keep her conscious clear. "She was my friend." Debbie spoke over the two tears filling her eyes. We have to take him back right away, okay? And you" Fiona stressed picking the boy up and walking downstairs with him in her arms.
"Where are his boy clothes?"
"We washed them." Debbie opened the dryer up letting Fiona pull her costume out. "Oh, my God, it shrunk! You put it in the dryer?" Fiona exclaimed holding them up for the two girls to see causing Maisie to try stiffle a laugh.
"That's what you do after you wash something." Maisie spoke up throwing the woman a know it all look making her turn to Steve who stood eyes wide, rubbing his forehead. "Um, we can put him in some of Liam's clothes." he suggested.
"We can't bring a missing kid back wearing different clothes. People will say we did something to him. Something bad." Fiona shouted looking at the two red heads in front of her. "You planning on leaving any time soon" she questioned unsure whether she wanted the girl to leave or stay knowing she'd be pretty good at coming up with a distraction while they put the baby back.
"I can stay and help, I usually distract the police while Mickey or my dad make a run for it out the back door" she explained, Steve shifting in his spot uncomfortably. "Attention: This is the Chicago Police Department. We're looking for a missing two-year-old..."
