Five Years Ago
"Sam... Sam... Wake up..." Sam blinks at the light of the flashlight that is shining in his face as he opens his eyes.
"What?" He asks rubbing his sleepy eyes.
"Let's go" It takes a minute before Sam understand what the young girl next to his bed means.
A few minutes later Sam and the girl are walking through the front gate of the children's shelter.
"I hope I'll never see this place again..."
Sam smiles and nods "Me too Angel, now get out off here before someone sees us"
Now
"Keep running Angel, don't look back" Despite off Sam's words Angel takes a quick look over her shoulder, seeing the police officer getting closer and closer.
Keep running... keep running... keep running... Her heart is beating faster and faster in her chest. Keep running... keep running... keep running girl... don't let him get you... run just run.
Sam comes to an abrupt hold, as he hears a hard scream, Angels scream, he looks around and sees Angel pulling herself of the street, she tripped and the police officer handcuffs her when she is standing again.
Sam looks out off the dirty window of the warehouse, wrapping his arms around his cold body. Dammed Angel where are you. He slowly shakes his head.
You're not coming are you? He turns around looking at the stuff lying around and start to pack some of the thing into a backpack. Well it was fun as long as it took, to bad you got busted serious this time... I'm not going to wait any longer.
Come on Sam, pick up the phone... pick up... pick up...
This is Sam, leave a message
Angel throws the phone back on the hook, causing the police officer to give her a look. "Still can get your parents?" Angel gives the officer a look raising her hands. "You know where your parents are working" Angel doesn't replies. The officer nods "Not the talkative kind of kid are you?"
Mount Horizon High School"No name, no age, just a approximated sixteen years old girl, arrested steeling a bottle of milk and a pack of serials. Well you sure knows how to make my job interesting" Sophie throws the almost empty file back on Peter's desk.
"She hasn't said a word since she got arrested, they think she is a street kid. Anyway she has no place to go, especially since the shop owner didn't press charges against her."
"I didn't say I can't handle it" Peter gives his wife a smile. "I got full confidence in you"
"Officer McKinley and this is miss Jane Doe" Sophie looks at the girl how rolls her eyes at the officers remark. "Sophie Becker, I'll be her counselor"
"Well have fun, I gotta run" Sophie nods and watch the police officer leave and then turns to the girl "So you seriously want to be called Jane or do you prefer something else?" Sophie starts show the girl to the intake office.
The girl looks at Sophie thinking it over, telling her name could lead to a hell lot of troubles, but then the name 'Jane' reminds her off the most horrible person she ever met... "Angie" Sophie looks up to her "Angie?"
"My name" Sophie nods "Okay, Angie it is then, thanks for telling." Angie gives Sophie a small smile.
After the intake who was pretty invent full, -In the small backpack she had with her, are some cloths, a pack of cigarettes and a few old pictures, that gave you the idea that ones she lived in a loving home. - Sophie brings Angie to the cliffhangers girls' dorm.
Angie looks around the dorm as she follows Sophie in. On two off the six beds that are in the dorm is sitting a girl. "Melanie, Kayla, I want you to meet, the newest addition of the cliffhangers, this is Angie"
The girl with long reddish hair jumps off the bed "Hi, I'm Mel" Angie looks hesitating to the hovering hand Mel put out and then slowly shakes it "Hi"
Kayla a girl with short black hair, barley looks up from her magazine and mumbles something that sound like "Welcome to our sexed"
