Anyways my parents have a business meeting tonight that will be held at our home at 7 pm.

ELENA, my mom yelled. What mom, im playing with my toys.  Honey, the guests are arriving soon do you remember what i told you?  Yes momma, i stay in my room until your business deal is done, elena said.  Thats right sweetheart.
     
        For some reason my parents dont want me to know what "business" their in to.....i wonder why?

I love you Elena, my mom said.  I love you momma.
  
    I went in my room and started playing again as my mom walked down stairs, i heard the door open.
I wanna see what their doing so bad!

But no. I cant. I have to stay in my room like my mom said....

   I can hear my dad talking to some guy but i cant make out what their saying.  Ya know what i cant take this. I deserve to know what's going on....

     I quietly sneak half way down the stairs, sit and start to listen in...

Ben ( dad) speaking: Look Archer, we will get the shipments to you and your men as soon as we can, its just not in the cards right now.

Archer speaking: Look, when someone promises me something they go through with it, or they get to face me and my men, and thats why were here today. Im trying to be civil about this, your lucky im in a good mood.

Sarah (mom) speaking: i- im sorry but we cant afford to give you anymore shipments right now, we have a child and we dont wanna risk her finding out that we do this type of business.

Archer speaking: Ok, ive tried to be nice. But im at the end of my rope I honestly dont give a shit about you or your loving husband,you guys have owed me and my family for quite awhile now, and im getting antsy.
   
      Omg what is this guy talking about down there, Elena said. What do my parents owe!?

Ben speaking: im sorry but we just cant right now please we have a daughter just let us be!

Archer speaking: Ok thats it. bobby?

Bobby speaking: yes boss?

Archer speaking: Hand me my pistol would ya.

Bobby speaking: here ya go boss.

Sarah speaking: no no! please you cant do this!! What about our child please i beg of you!

Ben speaking: please sir dont do this!

Archer speaking: fine.

Sarah speaking: s- so your not gonna kill us?

Archer speaking: oh,no no no. Im gonna kill you, but you can say bye to your kid first.

Sarah speaking: no wait what!?

   Omg what am i gonna do??? They are gonna kill my parents!!! I cannot let this happen i have to figure out a way to stop them.

I start running down the stairs when my mom sees my shes in tears. Wow. So is my dad. The men who are teting to murder them are just staring at me.

Archer speaking: well, well well, this must be your kid.  Whats your name?

None of your business! Now leave my family alone please...

Archer speaking: sorry hun, no can do, see your father owes me quite alot and your mother too now i  will keep my promise and let you tell them goodbye. So go ahead.

Sarah speaking: honey come here

  I walk over and jump into my mommas arms and start crying.

Sarah speaking: now stop it. You are a strong beautiful girl, who me and your father love more than anything in this world, and you will grow up to be so much more.

B- but how w- will i grow up without y- you i cant.

    Me and my mom are crying like crazy at this point, with my dad crying and hugging the both of us
