He unties my wrist. Not looking at him, I try to explain myself yet again. "Please mister, just let me go home. I-"
"Just stay here, and DON'T LEAVE THIS ROOM!" He slams the door behind him, and locks it.
I look around the room, it was beautiful. I...
As the EMT rolls Dre out of the apartment, the detectives and child services look around the place. "And you're saying that none of you know where your parents are?" Amanda, a woman who worked with child services, ask the kids.
All of the kids shake their heads no, "We don't." Michael, Keshia's son, answers. "The only person that was taking care of us was my Aunt Sabrina, but she left. My mom just up and left a few days ago, and my other sibling's moms didn't want them. So, we're left on our own; along with my little Aunt Dakota." He points at Dakota who is farther away from everyone, sitting on the couch. Since Sabrina left, Dakota hasn't really spoken to anyone, not even Michael.
Amanda sighs, "Well since there are not any adults to take care of any of you, we'll have to take you all to foster care." Dakota picks her head up. "I don't want to go there, I wanna wait for Sabrina to come back." Her eyes began to water.
Amanda kneels in front of her. "Sweetheart, she's not coming back. I can take you to a nice home, where some people will love you and care for you, how's that?" She tries to touch Dakota, but she runs off. "NO, I'M GOING TO LOOK FOR BRINA!" She yells running out of the apartment.
Amanda runs after her outside, along with the detective. "Dakota come back!" She yells. The detective flaps his hand. "She'll be crawling back to you in weeks, it's too cold and scary out there for a girl her age." The detective says.
Dakota kept running until she found a diner, she could walk in. She always like this place because they always have her a free meal when she was with Sabrina. She sits at a table, and a waiter give her a cup of juice while she waits for her food. As she waits, she glances out the window to see the car from the Child service worker and the detective drive by, with all the kids inside. Michael glance out the window and sees Dakota looking at him. He pressed his hand on the window and mouth the words, "Love you kid, take care of you." With those words, Dakota smiles, and a tear shed down her face. She sits at the diner and think to herself, "I have to find Sabrina."
Sabrina
Man, my head hurts like hell. What's touching my face? It feels wet.
I slowly open my eyes, and what I saw shocks the hell out of me. I see a small white dog licking my face. I laugh and begin to pet the dog.

"Thank you for giving me a little wake up call," I chuckle, petting the dog. I look around and was shocked that I was in the same bedroom that I was in when Gabriel kidnapped me. The last thing I remember seeing Gabriel putting me in the car. I thought he would've sent me to the hospital.
"Winter?" I hear a little girl sing in a whisper tone, "Winter?" The dog looks at the door and ran towards it, "Winter! What are you doing in there?" A little girl walks in my room, carrying the dog, "You know you're not supposed to be in here, with the pretty lady, unless Daddy-" The little girl looks up at me and smile, "Hi, you're finally awake." She walks towards me, and put the dog on the bed, "My name is Charlotte Renzo and I'm nine years old." She put out her hand. I shake her hand and smile, "Nice to meet you Charlotte, I'm Sabrina Miller." I pet the dog, "And who is this little girl?"
