Save Me...

~Ten~

Michael's POV:
What? How is that possible? It's not like my parents didn't tell me. They have a shocked look on their faces, even my grandparents.

What the hell is going on?

Jen:How's that possible? We would remember.

Gavin: That is what we're trying to figure out.

Colin: Wait. Michael and Mal are the same age. We wouldn't have given her away.

Ryan: We need to figure out what happened.

Colin: There's one way we can get answers.

Jen: We contact her adoptive parents. Ask what the hell is going on.

Carter: I can come up with something about bone marrow. Get them to come down here.

Colin: Thanks Dr.Carter.

--- Half Hour Later ---
Gavin: Hey guys, they're in conference room 2.

Jen: Alright, let's do this.

Michael: Mum, Dad, wait...if she really is my twin sister. Please keep these monsters away. I made a promise we would protect her.

Colin: We will son, I promise.

--- In the conference room ---
Colin's POV:
Jen: Hello I'm officer Clifford, this is my husband and partner, officer Clifford.

Peyton: Hi, we were told our daughter Mal Flynn was here. May we see her?

Colin: We want to ask you a few questions first. If you don't mind.

Tyler: Go right ahead.

Colin: When is Mal's birthday.

Peyton: January 12th.

Gavin: According to her chart, we pulled from the hospitals records in New Hampshire. Her birthday is November 20th.

Peyton: Oh right. That's it.

Tyler: How could you forget sweetheart?

Jen: During her physical check. The team of doctors found many fresh bruises. Would you care to explain?

Tyler: Honey, do you know what they're talking about?

Peyton: You know Mal. She's quite a clumsy girl. I'm sure she ran into a door or so.

Colin: Based on the size of your hand and the ring on your finger. It is a perfect match to the bruises.

Tyler: Peyton, did you abuse our daughter?

Peyton: Yeah, so what? She was a waste of space anyway.

Jen: Excuse you, that is someone else's daughter you're talking about!

Tyler: Peyton, you're not telling the whole truth. What is going on?

Peyton: Fine, Mal isn't our daughter.

Colin: Then why didn't she go to her home, 16 years ago?

Peyton: She never made it home. Her parents were in a car accident on the way home. They had to come back in. I was a nurse at the time, and old crybaby over here wanted a baby. I wasn't ruining my figure for a brat I didn't want.

Jen: How did they forget that she born?

Peyton: The two were pretty out of it. They only saw one baby, so they assumed. I snuck Mal out and told Tyler I adopted her.

Tyler: You are a sad excuses of a women and a human being.

Peyton: Tell me something I care about.

Colin: I think we've heard enough.

Cop: Peyton Flynn, you are under arrest for the kidnapping of a child and child abuse. You have the right to remain silent, everything you say can, and will be used against you in a court of law.

My old partner and her current partner took her out of the hospital. She's getting a life sentence. I cannot believe she robbed us of 16 years of our daughters life. Then she treats her like crap all her life.

Tyler: Excuse me officers.

Jen: What can we do for you?

Tyler: I understand that Mal isn't my daughter.

We nodded.

Tyler: I wanted to say, I was not aware, let alone involved in the abuse.

Jen: We believe you.

He was full on crying.

Tyler: If I would have known, I would have taken her away.

Colin: We appreciate your honesty, and co-operation.

Tyler: I just want what's best for her. Can say a final goodbye?

Jen: I think that is a good idea.
