"If you could come with us please Gabrielle." Mrs. McGuire from Child Services asks,

Danielle follows the lady into the police station, down towards the interviewing rooms, as they lead her through a doorway she spots her father.

"DAD DAD." Danielle yells trying to get out of the police officer's grasp, "LET GO OF ME."

"Gabrielle." Charles calls out.

The police officer looks at Detective Bosquet who nods his head for the officer to let Danielle go, she runs up to a handcuffed Charles,

"Dad you're handcuffed, why are you handcuffed? Hey why is my Dad handcuffed? Where's Mom? What's going on? Nobody will tell me anything. Somebody please tell me what's going on." Danielle frantically asks,

"It's going to be OK Gabby, everything's going to work itself out and sweetheart no matter what they tell you, just remember both your mother and myself love you, we have always loved you and would never hurt you, you are the best thing that has ever happened to us." Charles tells her,

"What do you mean? Of course you'd never hurt me. Dad why would you say that? What's going on?"

"Everything's going to be OK sweetheart."

"Dad please what's going on, you're scaring me."

Danielle crying hugs Charles tight around his neck and refuses to let go, even when the police officers start to try and lead Charles away,

"NO NOOOO LEAVE MY DAD ALONE." Danielle screams, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING? LEAVE MY DAD ALONE. DAD. DAD COME BACK."

Mrs. McGuire motions for the officers to take a crying Danielle to an interview room.

Once inside the closed interview room Danielle starts pacing,

"Why am I here? I've done nothing wrong, you can't keep me here." Danielle says refusing to sit down, "I want to leave, where are my parents? Why did you handcuff my dad? He's done nothing wrong."

"Gabrielle is you could just calm down and take a seat we can discuss what is going on." Mrs. McGuire instructs,

"NO I DON'T WANT TO SIT DOWN, I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON." Danielle yells,

"Gabrielle stop being childish and sit down." Mrs. McGuire says starting to lose her patient,

"NO YOU'RE NOT MY MOTHER, GET OUT OF MY WAY I'M LEAVING."

Danielle tries to push past the lady who refuses to get out of her way, during the small struggle Danielle's flying arms make contact with the side of Mrs. McGuire's face.
