me ."
"As long as you can save her life that's all I care about I don't understand Michael, there is a chance to get her back, before Janet finishes she pauses and say, I have no idea why I am convincing you to save your own daughter."
Michael grabs Janet aggressively "don't you dare say that to me I love my daughter more than anything in this life, I'll get the gun, but if there is a chance that I can give him the fake gun and still get my daughter than I will."
"Hey hey Officer Ross says.
"He'll come after you plus is that a risk that you really want to take? replied Janet.
   I just sat there staring at the wall, I had a gun pointed to my head and got kidnapped again, I now know who my father is, well I mean atleast I thought I knew who he was, and I want nothing to do with him. I actually hope that he doesn't find me I just want to escape on my own. He'll never see me again. I keep thinking of all those years that we spent together he was the perfect father, well you know what they say if something is too good to be true than it probably is. I hear footsteps I stand up and look at the door, he enters this Peter guy. He is chewing a piece of gym and wiggling his gun. I take a step back but this time I try not to cry, I slightly look at the door he left it open, I think to myself that this is it, it's now or never. He continues to walk towards me and he tells me that my dad is coming again, talk some sense into him he says or you're a dead girl. He takes a seat and starts to clean his gun. Then I ran out of the room so fast, I run up and out the door I go. I hear gunshots which made me run even faster. I'm running through tree's that's all I see tree's and bushes, more gunshots, I look back for a quick second and Peter is close to me he stops and takes a straight shot which ends up in my leg. Yes, I got shot, the pain is unbearable, I stumble on the ground I stream in pain but that still won't stop me from trying to run and suddenly I hear sirens. I can't take the pain anymore and my leg is giving up on me. I don't scream I Look behind me while laying on the floor and I see an army of cops arrest Peter. I put my head down in relief. I close my eyes for a good minute before I hear an officer say we need an ambulance. I open my eyes and everything I see is extremely blurry, then I slowly fade away.
I woke up at the hospital, I see Janet and no signs of my father. She gets up when she saw that I was awake now.
"You were shot in the leg but you'll be okay," she says.
 I asked "where is my dad."
She looks down and says, "you're dad has done a lot of bad things but he's the one who gave the cops a call and told them where you were."
" I guess what Peter said was true I say."
" I'm so sorry you had to go through this Rou, I really am."
"Hello, I am Dr. Lopez and I just wanted to say that you are a very strong young lady."
 I smile, felt like I haven't smiled in awhile but this time It actually feels good. "You'll be discharged soon, you'll need crutches but it won't take you too long to recover."
 Janet looks at me and says "let's go home."
  An older lady approaches us and she says that she is from child services. Janet steps in and says "I will be legally adopting her, we are actually on our way to the courthouse."
" I know you've been through a lot Roulette, My name is Anna and I'm always here if you need any kind of support."
I look at Janet and say, "can we just go home please." Janet takes my hand and we get into her car and drove off.
Michael and Peter are sitting in a cell together, "this isn't over" says Peter, Michael smiles and before the correctional officer takes Michael to another cell Michael says" nope, this is just the beginning."
