I wake up in a cold, empty prison cell. My head is pounding and I don’t remember anything. Why am I here? Did I do something? All I remember is watching “The Breakfast Club” with my mom last night. Oh my God! Is she okay? Where is she? Does she know I’m here? All of a sudden, I’m pulled out of my thoughts when a tall blonde female officer comes and unlocks the cell door. She looks at me for a few seconds and finally says something. “You’re Emma Jones, right?” she awkwardly asks me. I nod. What’s going on? “You can come with me.” she said, rather sternly. “Finally, I can get out of here!” I loudly whisper under my breath. I follow her into an office full of several other officers. “Mr. Steele will be here soon.” she leaves and I sit down…show more content… You’ve probably already guessed who I am. I’m Mr. Steele, but you can call me Joseph.” he smiles at me, so I smile back. “Thanks, but I’ll just call you Mr. Steele. Anyway, what am I doing here? Where’s my mom?” I ask him, trying to seem calm and collected even though I’m not. “You see, the woman you refer to as your mother isn’t really your mother. Let me explain. When you were two years old you suddenly went missing. For the past 14 years we’ve been looking for you. Now we’ve finally found you,” he looks happy but I can’t believe this, “Your real family is here to meet you.” “Wait, are you saying my mom kidnapped me? Which makes her my kidnapper?! That’s crazy!” I stood up and walked out of the office. I don’t want to meet this family, I just want to find my…show more content… What does Ste— m-mom do?” I ask. “She’s also a police officer…” he looks away. Is he hiding something? “You say that like it’s a bad thing.” I point out curiously. “No, it’s just that she’s one of the police officers who killed your kidnapper…” he confesses. I don’t know if I should be angry or glad about this. Was I saved from my kidnapper? She did lie to me about everything. Now I’ll be able to finally live in a family, like a normal girl. My kidnapper is gone now, she’d literally dead to me. This is my new life, and I already love it! Stephanie, my mother, saved me. “I did it for you, I’m so sorry if I hurt you Leah.” I see my mom standing in the doorway. Guilt was written all over her face. I stand up and walk towards her. “It’s ok, mom. Thank you so much! You and dad gave me a chance to start a new life with a real family.” I smile and hug her. This is the first time in my life that I have ever felt motherly love. I feel safe and happy now. “How about we celebrate? Let’s have a party! Emma will get a chance to make some new friends and meet her other family members again!” my dad says excitedly. “Dad, you haven’t seemed so happy in years. What happened?” Jordan ask
