                                                                           Chapter eighteen

                                     I looked up at Dennis we were walking down a darkened road, using the moon as our light. ¨Dennis how did you lose your parents?¨ He looked down at me before looking back at the road in front of us. ¨Its a long story Mary, a story I rather not talk about. What about you how did you lose your parents?¨ I shrugged my shoulders at him, ¨I don't want to talk about it, its a long story.¨ We just continued to walk in complete silence, for the next couple hours.

              ¨Dennis I'm tired," I rubbed my eyes dragging my feet on the ground. We have been walking for to long and all i want to do is lay down and sleep. Its been forever since Dennis told me we would find my parents, and we still have yet to do so. Dennis reached down scooping me up in his arms, ¨we can rest here for now tomorrow is gonna be a very long day." He wrapped his worn coat around me, ¨goodnight Mary."

          I woke up to colorful flashing lights, and loud sirens in the background. There was a woman crouched down in front of me speaking, but all the noises around us made it hard to understand what she was saying.  ¨Dennis?¨ I feel the tears form in my eyes scanning the crowd for him, but he was no where to be seen. The woman in front of me picked me up setting me in the back of an ambulance on some weird bed thing. 

      As we slowly drove away a man tried to speak to me a woman sitting next to him watching me closely. I curled up in a little ball, closing my eyes. Ignoring everything he said, all I wanted to do was go home, or better yet go back to Dennis. I still have no clue where he is, all I can hope is that he went to find my parents. 

           ¨Hello honey my name is Christina what's yours?" I was currently in a room filled with toys and other kid items. Only a couple people had come in and talked to me, but after awhile when I didn't reply they would finally leave. ¨Hey I'm not gonna hurt you I'm here to help, do you think you can tell me your name?" I looked up at her for a minute before looking back down at my feet. After a couple minutes she opened her mouth to speak again but stopped when the door opened, a man stepping in gesturing her to follow him. She slowly followed him giving me one last glance before closing the door behind her. 

   It seemed forever before the door opened again, but who stood in the doorway surprised me. It was the one face i would never expect to see again. Lanie stood there smiling at me, she looked different. She looked happy. 

         I stood up and ran over to her, wrapping my arms around her waist. She bent down wrapping her arms around me, ¨Mary you're okay, I was so worried about you." I pulled back and smiled at her, ¨Where's Jake, is he here too?" Lanie's smile slowly faded and her eyes filled with sadness once again.
