"And you didn't tell anyone about it...?" There was a hint of irritation in his voice. "Does she know?"

by **Rose Hathaway** Wed Jun 27, 2012 3:33 pm

"No. She loves my dad, she'd never believe it. I lie to her and tell her I trip and fall a lot. I've been in the hospital four times now. All of them have been "accidents" when really they were him." she said. "I don't tell anyone because this is where we'd be. I'd be in the hospital and having to explain everything."

by **Shadoe Mayari** Wed Jun 27, 2012 3:39 pm

"I bet she'd rather see him go to jail than watch her only kid die because of him," Kaizo muttered, a sudden chill going down his spine. ...Da fuck was that?

by **Rose Hathaway** Wed Jun 27, 2012 3:45 pm

"She won't believe it. I know she won't. She's an airhead. She thinks she's being tricked when she's not and she thinks nothing of it when she is. Mom wouldn't believe it. I know she won't." she said.

And on cue, her mother came running in. "Samantha! What the hell happened? Why did I have to pitch a fit to make them let me see you? What's going on?" she demanded, hugging her daughter. Sam fell silent and let her mom hug her.

by **Shadoe Mayari** Wed Jun 27, 2012 3:49 pm

Kaizo shrunk away from them, deciding to let them have their moment and maybe ruin it later.

by **Rose Hathaway** Wed Jun 27, 2012 4:03 pm

"They want me to stay overnight for observation. Just a concussion." she said. She didn't want to tell her mom anything else.

"Sweetie, there are cops outside. What happened?"

Sam started crying again and buried her face in her mom's shoulder as she hugged her.

Sam's mother, knowing she wouldn't get anything out of her, turned to Kaizo. "Do you know what happened?"

by **blackoutEquinox** Wed Jun 27, 2012 4:07 pm

Wayne freaked out a bit when the cops showed up. "Well shit," Wayne whispered under his breath, he thought the cops may have been there for him. But then a woman came in screaming about wanting to see her daughter. That must be Sam's mom. The woman was soon shown to her daughter's room and the cops followed closely behind her.

by **Shadoe Mayari** Wed Jun 27, 2012 4:24 pm

"Her father..." Kaizo paused, as he wasn't sure how he should word it. Then he just decided to tell her what he told everyone else. "I walked her home earlier to day and she was acting weird. She was inside her house for a few minutes, then someone came out and threw her on the driveway..."

by **Rose Hathaway** Wed Jun 27, 2012 4:31 pm

"You think it was her father? No... no that's impossible. Kaizo, please tell me the truth." her mom said firmly. "Sam, is your friend lying?"

Sam hesitated, and finally shook her head.

Sam's mother paled. She let her daughter go, and walked out, only to be stopped by the police. "Ma'am, are you the girl's mother? We need to speak to you privately." The woman was escorted away as the nurse came in.

"Alright kid, let the next one have a turn." she said.

by **Shadoe Mayari** Wed Jun 27, 2012 4:33 pm

Kaizo nodded and stood up. "...Hey. Everything's gonna be okay, 'kay?" He smiled and then left the room.

by **Rose Hathaway** Wed Jun 27, 2012 4:46 pm

Sam nodded as the nurse led Kaizo back to the waiting room.

"Which one of you is next?" the nurse asked the group.

by **blackoutEquinox** Wed Jun 27, 2012 4:47 pm

"I guess I'll go and see her now." Wayne was lead by the nurse into Sam's room. And Wayne calmly walked in and took a seat next to Sam, "So can I know what's going on now? And don't worry about any hospital bills, I'll take care of them."

by **Rose Hathaway** Wed Jun 27, 2012 5:05 pm

"Just my dad being my dad...." she said quietly. "I'm sure Mom will appreciate you paying the bills even though she doesn't know who the hell you are. Thanks." Silence came over her for a few minutes before she asked "What's being in the system like? Is it as terrible as they say it is?"

by **blackoutEquinox** Wed Jun 27, 2012 5:09 pm

"The system won't be as bad for you as it was for me. You don't have the scars for people to make fun of and you're already old enough that you won't be in for very long. And I think if I pull a few strings I can keep you in the area or even get them to release you to me. But I make no promises." Wayne looked up at Sam again. "I'll do my best to make sure you're safe again soon."

by **Rose Hathaway** Wed Jun 27, 2012 5:21 pm

Sam's eyes widened. Being able to stay here, even being released to Wayne.... that would be ideal. She'd be able to stay in her school with everyone, and continue being with her friends. "Thank you." she said, hugging him tightly. Even with no promises, it was better than nothing.

Just as she did so, a woman in a pantsuit and black leather gloves walked in. She smiled at Sam. "Hi Samantha. I'm Jane, your caseworker. Can I talk to you privately for a few minutes?" she asked, eyeing Wayne carefully.

by **blackoutEquinox** Wed Jun 27, 2012 5:25 pm

"Hey I remember you!" Wayne exclaimed when the caseworker came in. "Yeah, you were a caseworker for the system. You were in and out of the home all the time. But I think it would be better for Sam if I just sat in the corner over there. Moral support and such." Wayne moved to the corner chair as the caseworker began to talk to Sam.

by **Rose Hathaway** Wed Jun 27, 2012 5:32 pm

She paled when the boy remembered her. "Wha-what? How?!" she exclaimed, and relaxed when she realized how. "Oh, uh, yes, yes I was." she said with a smile. "But I think it would be better if you left, sir. I want to talk to Samantha alone."

"He can stay if he wants."

"Sweetie, you're underage. You can't make any decisions here."

"He stays or I tell you nothing." Sam glared. She wished she had Wayne's nozzle thingy again. She wanted to squirt this lady already.

"You will tell me everything I want or I will ship you off to one of the worst case workers we have." Jane threatened. "Now, sir, I strongly suggest you leave so that I may speak to Samantha alone. It's better if I speak alone to my kids so I know what is happening." she snapped.

by **blackoutEquinox** Wed Jun 27, 2012 5:41 pm

"Yeah I remember you. You're more of a bitch than what I remember though." Wayne told her with a smile. "I'll be out in the lobby waiting for you." Wayne exited Sam's room and walked back to the lobby. "She's talking to a bitchy caseworker. Do not disturb." Wayne plopped back into his old lobby chair and waited.

by **Rose Hathaway** Wed Jun 27, 2012 5:53 pm

An hour later, the caseworker walked out of the room and into the lobby. She glared at Kaizo especially, as well as Wayne, but said nothing and left. There was a commotion in the ER now. Several exclamations of "She disappeared! Right after that woman left!" and "Where is she?!" could be heard from the lobby.

The others didn't know what it meant until finally an announcement came over the speakers. "Samantha Harding, please return to your room if you are still in the building."

by **Shadoe Mayari** Wed Jun 27, 2012 6:00 pm

Kaizo cursed under his breath and pulled out the red orb, which began to flash sporadically. "...She's a Runic," he muttered, running after the caseworker.

by **blackoutEquinox** Wed Jun 27, 2012 6:05 pm

"Well fuck me sideways," Wayne said as he rose up from his chair and ran after Kaizo. As soon as they were out of the building Wayne pulled out his knife and flipped it open. No Runic would get to hurt Sam as long as Wayne had a say in it. He started scanning the parking lot trying to find where the "bitch" had gone off to.

by **Shadoe Mayari** Wed Jun 27, 2012 6:12 pm

Kaizo stared at the red orb for a moment, before heading off in one direction. "This way," he said, just as he crashed into a taller man, dressed like a detective.

"Watch where you're going," Andrew muttered coldly.

Kaizo quickly pulled himself up and got into defensive mode. "You-"

A paper doll flew out of Andrew's sleeve and latched onto the boy's bandaged arm. "Save that for later. I'm on your side for once, you dimwit."

Isabella was out of breath once she managed to catch up with them, but cautiously backed away when she saw Andrew.

James was rushing along with them. "Do you know where she is?" He asked Andrew, incredibly worried about Sam.

by **Shadoe Mayari** Wed Jun 27, 2012 6:51 pm

"It's this way," Andrew said, heading towards where Kaizo was going. "Come on."

Kaizo pouted, but followed. "I knew that...Why the hell are you here, anyway?" He began to scratch at the paper doll, but it didn't seem to be coming off.

The man shrugged. "I'm just doing my job. But unlike you, I'm actually getting paid."

Kaizo rolled his eyes in disgust, and ran ahead of the man. "Of course."

by Book the Hero Wed Jun 27, 2012 6:53 pm

James quickly followed them. Just hold on Sam...I-we're coming to get you!
