Lucy Quinn

Hells Kitchen

                                         As the lift, doors opened the words alias investigations filled my eyes with a thousand different feelings. She will find my parents, can she find my parents? These questions filled my mind, with worry and anger and happiness all at the same time. As I almost started running towards her door I decided I was going to do it. I knocked on her door," who is it"Jessica yelled from her desk. "it's me," I said in my proudest accent. She opened the door with a worried expression "Lucy, what are you doing here?"I slowly looked up "I was hoping you could help me find my parents?" I almost pleaded.

                                       She ran me to the door of her apartment building. "I can't do that Bruce will murder me and I won't get to go over there anymore," Jessica said. "please the thought that I might get to meet my parents is what kept me from Insanity," I said. "You know I can't do that Lucy. I already have enough money on my head, Bruce doesn't want you to leave you mean too much to him. Please go home Lucy" Jessica said." you're right Jessica I should go home," I said with the clear appearance of anger in my eyes as I started walking away."You know I would help you if I could," She said. "I don't want you to get hurt," she said.

                                       I started walking away, I didn't look back I don't want to see the look of sorrow on Jessica's face. She was my only friend and I am the only one or thing that made her cry. Why what just happened? I can't focus on anything. Even the crowded city streets which remind me of Alfred taking me for walks. I can't even remember where I was not a thing was going through my mind except for me leaving Jessica.

                                      I was 1/2 way through the long walk to the bus stop when I decided to stop for some gum to calm my nerves so I could try not to get lost. I walked inside and bought my gum and as I was leaving when I noticed a purple car it was really weird but then again it is the middle of new york.

                                     I kept walking when the car appeared later at the bus stop and after I got on the bus I saw it again another 2 miles later it wasn't following me, but it wasn't on the road it was parked in alleyways and I was really scared it was just me an 11-year-old girl. what do I do it keeps popping up every 2 miles or so. Then it followed me In the streets when I got off of the bus It was coming for me that's when a lady popped out of the roof of the car.

                                   She jumped on me and I landed on something and it really hurt and hit my head. I screamed but then I realized I was all alone. She put a cloth over my mouth. My vision became blurry, I tried to get up but I couldn't move. Then the world became dark as I faded away.
