"LET ME GO" "April, it's okay.." "LET ME GO. I WANT MY MOMMY" "you will.." "I HATE YOU" Gunther dropped his head as April kicked him in the mouth. "We aren't going to hurt you.." "FUCK YOU PIG" Gunther broke down as April was distraught. 'oh you want to touch my cousin. Let's see how this goes for you' setting bombs to all of their cars and the front roller door, Danika rushed off and into the parkland. "CALM HER DOWN. RIGHT NOW" "April.." "I never want to see you again. I hate you" Gunther hugged April but she kicked him in the testicles "I need to take her.." hearing explosion after explosion, April took the opportunity to run out the back. "APRIL DONT GO OUT THERE.." "OUR VEHICLES" "she's here. Good" "this is what we wanted. To get her here. It's time she joins us"
April ran out and squeezed through the gate. 'thats April. She got away. Not yet' April ran across the road with tears rolling down her porcelain cheeks. Hiding behind a tree, April put her head between her knees.
'shes out of range' setting the last bomb off, Danika jumped down and rushed to grab April. "I.. Dani" relief filled April as Danika rushed back through the park land and out of sight. With april in her arms "Are you hurt?" "They took me from my mommy" "I know sweetheart. I was watching. I had a feeling they would try to use you to get to me. I will keep you safe".
"APRIL.." Gunther distraught and a mess, xavion looked at five of his men as they laid dead on the ground. 'my warehouse, men and our vehicles' "HELP ME FIND HER. NOW" 'shes with Danika. Danika knew something was coming'.
Danika getting April far away from the men, she grabbed her phone out. "Danika?" "They used April as bait" "APRIL.." Teresa ran to April's room and broke down seeing her room empty. "I have her safe. She was held and very distraught. They don't know that I have her with me" "mommy. Danika saved me" "my beautiful daughter... It's so good to hear you are safe" Teresa's angers boiled "they want to play games and bring my daughter in.. I will call you back. Can you.." "as long as you need". Teresa ended the call with rage and dialled Gunthers phone. 'my wife.. she's going to be livid' "hun.." "HUN. YOU TOOK OUR DAUGHTER NEAR THOSE MEN WHEN I CLEARLY FUCKING SAID SHE IS NOT PART OF YOUR FUCKING GAME. PUT HER ON THE PHONE" "hun.. I can't.." "PUT HER ON THE PHONE GUNTHER. SHE IS MY DAUGHTER" "she ran away. I can't find her" "RAN AWAY. SEVEN YEARS OLD OUT IN THE FUCKING OPEN ON HER OWN. YOU PUT HER IN A POSITION SHE SHOULD NEVER BE IN. ARE YOU TRYING TO GET HER FUCKING KILLED. I SWEAR TO YOU GUNTHER, IF MY DAUGHTER IS DISTRAUGHT, HURT OR A MESS, THIS IS IT". Gunther dropped his head as Teresa ended the call. 'my daughter.. I'm sorry. So sorry' "that was Teresa?" "She hates me. Just like my own daughter. I don't even know where my daughter is" "she will be with Danika" Gunther looked at vandal "she ran.." "Danika was betting on it. You don't use a child in an adult's game especially against a girl who has experienced so much hurt as a child. You want your daughter, you have to face her" "we will.." "YOU WONT DO A FUCKING THING YOU LITTLE MONGREL. SHE WOULD KILL YOU IN A SPLIT SECOND".
Danika looked at her phone as it rang. 'its Carlos' "Carlos?" "You were right. That warehouse had nine explosives set" "I set them. They took April there. I have her with me" "WHERE ARE YOU DANIKA?" "near the race course. Far enough away from those men. Waiting on Teresa to get here" "see you soon". Danika ended the call. "that was Carlos. He's with good men that will protect us. You have met Carlos" "yes" "that's Ronaldo's son. He was a very good friend to my opa. Your opa" "really?" "Yes. When you left, more men came. They helped me get stronger" "what happened to your arm?" "A man shot me" "I kicked daddy in the face and his man parts" "did he hurt you?" "He carried me in there and made me sit on a chair with all of those men. I tried to get away and the man with short grey hair held me down" "did he?" "Yes. Mommy said no one should touch me unless I want them too" a car pulling up, Danika couldn't see the car due to the lights. Grabbing her gun out, Danika raised her hand. "Dani.." April hid behind Danika. "DANIKA AND APRIL?" "OVER HERE TERESA" "MOMMY" April ran to Teresa and jumped in her arms just as five cars pulled in. "Danika.." "behind me" Danika grabbed her second gun out and raised both. 'shes ready for war. She can't see who we are' "STAND DOWN EAGLE" Danika lowered her guns but never let her guns go. "I want the full run down". "That's Carlos, Wolfgang, Felix, Ronaldo and Stanley. I don't know them" Danika nodded "April and Teresa. I'm Otto" "Walter" "Paul" "Alexander" "Craine" "hurns" "Brion" "fritz" "Johann, April was taken to that warehouse" "I had put her to bed and went for a shower. My husband took her" "you had eyes on them Danika?" "The warehouse. My instinct was right. She was carried in. Forced to stay in a chair and held down by Simon. She was distraught, yelling and trying to get out. I gave her the opening" "the explosions?" "Eight cars and the roller door" "she protected me" "she will always do that April. Have you got any bruising or cuts" "I don't know. I kicked daddy twice" "trying to protect yourself. Teresa we'd like permission to see her neckline, shoulders and arms" "April?" "Okay" April removed her longsleeve bed shirt but kept the shirt Infront of her chest. "Five marks" Alexander knelt down. "Can I look over your bones?" "Yes" "it may hurt a little bit" "okay" Teresas eyes watered. 'they bruised my daughter' 'nothing is broken only handled roughly' "you can put that back on now. Thank you. No breaks but still handled roughly. This is disheartening. A big kid but she is only seven" "he put our daughter in harm's way" Danika rubbed Teresa's back as she was a mess. "Mommy needs your hugs" April jumped into her mom's arms. "This needs to be dealt with" "not lightly either" "I want that man charged" everyone looked at Teresa "then let's go to the hospital and inform the police. They will do it instantly with us present" "I will drive. You can hold her" Teresa nodded. Her phone ringing, Danika looked at the caller and ignored it. 'its one of those men. Shes going to do what Teresa wants' "they will get his prints from her neck, Danika" "will that hurt?" "No" "okay".
"Danika isn't answering" "she has your daughter.." "I KNOW SHE HAS MY DAUGHTER.." "she will have her at the hospital. Danika does things differently" Simons face paled "what's your.. YOU HELD HER DOWN" Gunther lowered his head as he walked off. 'i need to go home or to the hospital. Our vehicles are destroyed. The front of the warehouse too. I should've known how Danika would play their game. She got my daughter out though. That I'm thankful for'.

Waiting patiently for the results, no one said a word. April asleep in her mother's arms, Teresa only tightened her hold spotting Gunther and xavion. "hun.." "April hart" Teresa nodded "Alexander. The results you were after" Alexander grabbed the results "spot on. Thanks for your help" "take good care of her" "she won't be out of my sight" "glad to hear that" "we can deal with this" Teresa showed a slight nod. "thank you. All of you and Danika, she chose the right role model" Danika showed a slight nod before she kissed April's forehead "faithful, Auspicious, meaning, impact, loving, yeomanly" Teresa's eyes softened "we love you too, Danika" Teresa thanked the men again and walked out with Gunther while xavion kept his eyes on Danika "we have a station to visit" "he didn't mean to hurt her. They only want you to be part of us" Danika walked past xavion upsetting him. 'i put my niece in a very difficult situation. I knew she was distraught. My daughter is only more angry now. Even if they got her there, it was dangerous'.
