Scarlett is on the way to central park at five am when she sees a little girl running down the street in nothing but ripped pyjamas and knotted hair she cant be no older than five years old. Scarlett stops her from running past her "hey what's going on" the little girl stops not knowing if it is safe to talk to Scarlett, Scarlett crouches down to her level and reassures her  "hey its ok I'm not going to hurt you i promise" the little girl looks down "i run away" scarlett is bit taken back hearing this she asked the question she knows she needs to ask "how old are you sweetheart" the little girl meets Scarlett's eyes with her ocean blue ones "im 5" .

Scarlett looks at the time on her phone 5:30am she is a bit cold so she cant bear to think how cold this five year old is she gives her coat to the little girl "come on hunny its cold" the little girl very puzzled "going where" scarlett looks at her "to my house we will talk some more and see what the next steps are".

they get to the house and scarlett takes the little girl to the living room "hunny whats your name" the little girl in absolute aww with the house "alora" scarlett looks at her and smiles "thats a very pretty name" scarlett knows she has to ask the questions no one ever wants to answer "hunny why did you run away home" alora looks scarlett dead in the eyes "that is no home" scarlett shocked she said that "why is it not home" alora looks down "mommy and daddy are not there anymore" scarlett feeling terrible for asking knows she has to "what happened t your mommy and daddy alora" alora still looking down" they died in a car crash a year and half ago" scarlett absolutely terrible for alora "hunny im going to make a call ok" alora not really wanting her to go "ok"

scarlett goes to the kitchen that is only ten feet from the living room and puts in the number for cps. "hello child protective services how may i help you" "hi this is scarlett johannson i was on my morning walk and saw a little girl running i asked what was going on as she looked to be very young and she told me she ran away from home" "ok do you have the childs name" "yes her name is alora" alora what" "erm hold on a second alora whats your last name 'smith' smith" "ok yes we have her record she is currently living with her aunt as both parents are deceased" "well she is sat in my living room with ripped pyjamas and her hair looks like it hasn't been brushed for months" ok we will do a welfare check at the aunts house around well its 7:00 now so about 11:00 and we wont tell her we are showing up" "ok what about alora" "she will have to go to a foster home" "no she is staying with me your not moving her to a foster home" "ok well we will need to get you a foster licence i can have some one out today to check your home and give you emergency custody of her but we will do that after the check but you can look after her until then" "ok" "ok thank you" "thank you"
