emily's pov

i woke up in my home, i smelled the fresh smell of bacon and eggs cooking.

i threw the comforter off of me and threw my legs over the bed, my feet coming in contact with the chilly wood floor.

i slipped my feet into my pink slippers and made my way to the kitchen.

"good morning, emi. breakfast is almost ready, sweetie." dad said to me. i nodded and sat down at the table.

i looked at the newspaper my dad had laying on the table. the face on the front looked familiar.

EMILY BAKER ALMOST KIDNAPPED

the face on the front of the newspaper was mine. i gasped and read through the article.

emily baker received a strange text from an unknown number early one morning. the message said to meet him/her at the park to 'talk' emily felt strange and told her father about the text.
her father, james baker, took emily and her phone to the police station and the police allowed emily to meet with the person who sent the message. the police were standing by and watching as emily walked to the park.
as emily approached the park, an older guy, joe white, greeted her. he then invited her to his home for food. emily shook her head no and he kept insisting she comes until he became inpatient and grabbed her arm, forcing her towards the vehicle.
     the police swarmed around him and he was taken into custody for attempted kidnapping.

i slid the newspaper across the table as my dad set s plate down in front of me.

i cut a piece of egg off and shoved it in my mouth. "hungry?" my dad asked me. "mhm!" i exclaimed and continued shoving my mouth full with food. he chuckled and held the paper close to his face.

"i'm going to the eye doctor today, officer luke will be taking you to the orthodontist today." my dad said.

i nodded slowly and my dad cleared his throat. "are you excited for braces?" he asked. i shook my head, "i heard they hurt." i said lowly.

i carried my plate and utensils to the sink and set them in there as the doorbell rung.

i ran over to the door and looked out the window and seen officer luke. i opened it and he smiled, "morning, emily." he said. "morning." i said, returning the smile.

my dad came over and greeted him, my dad grabbed his keys and left the house. "so the appointment is at 9:20 right?" luke asked. i nodded.

it was only 7:47 so we had a bit. "you can watch tv and i'll clean up for your father." luke told me. i nodded and made my way to the living room.

i switched to the news channel and seen a photo of darren on the tv. i turned my head slightly.

"darren white, escapes from jail early this morning. police of arizona are looking for him and begging anyone to help find this man." the news reporter spoke.

i couldn't see my face but i knew my mouth hung open. luke came running in when i gasped, "what happened?" he panicked. "darren has escaped from jail." i said, scared.

so so sorry for the short chapter. it's very late and i'm exhausted. i have to work tomorrow, love you all❤️
