A/N: this is my first story so plz NO FLAMES!!! My inspiration was all of the amazing writers on fanfiction and, of course, Lie To Me. Please review. Constructive criticism is welcome. :D

Rated T for language and violence (not much cussing or violence in this chapter though)

Ok well here goes! Hopefully it doesn't suck!


It is night time. Trees cast shadows along the forest floor. Suddenly a girl runs by panting. She stops to catch her breath. Her beautiful face is streaked with tears, her golden hair tangled in leaves and mud, a dirty backpack is slung loosely over her shoulders, and her oversized t-shirt and jeans are torn in various places. Fear is the only thing that shows on her face. She crouches down to hide in the shadows as a man approaches. Anger and frustration seep from every pore of his body. In his hand is a gun. Suddenly the girl's eyes widen as she sees the gun.

"Come out my beautiful Tina!"

No answer, silence.

"I KNOW YOU'RE HERE, YOU STUPID LITTLE WHORE!"

He lets out a terrible bloody scream. The girl's-Tina's- face hardens. She grasps an object in her pocket and slowly backs away so the man won't notice. The man swivel's his head so he's looking right at her.

"There you are, you-"

A gunshot rang throughout the cool autumn evening air. The man dropped to the ground screaming and clutching his left shoulder. Tina ran. After his deafening screams subsided, slowly the man picked himself up, still clutching his shoulder, and crawled over to the torn piece of paper that had fallen out of Tina's pocket. It read: The Lightman Group. On the bottom was an address. The man smiled like the maniac he truly was, then let out a wicked laugh.


2 weeks earlier

"Cal, we've got a case." Gillian Foster walked into her partner's office.

"It's pretty small but I thought it was interesting."

"Interesting how?" Cal asked in his British accent, looking extremely bored.

"A witness gave an accurate description of a girl who went missing over four years ago and her adopted parent."

Now she had his full attention.

"Their names are Tina and John. Apparently John had dragged Tina into the store, then forced her to look as he shot everyone."

"So where do we come in?"

"We're going to find out if the witness is telling the truth about what he saw."

"Foster, how old is Tina?"

Gillian hesitated before answering "Why does it matter?"

"How old is Tina?"

Silence.

"Answer me Gillian."

"Fourteen."

Sigh ,"Gill, I know you want to help but there's really nothing we can do. Just, let the cops sort it out."

"Cal, he killed a three year-old child and her pregnant mother."

The hurt and sadness was written all over her beautiful face. Cal lovingly reached over and put his hand over hers.

"I know you want to help but even if the witness is telling the truth it won't help find the killer any sooner."

"I'm sorry," he added.


Present day

It was a chaotic fall morning at the Lightman Group. Cal and Ria had just finished a big murder case and everyone was running around trying to clean up the aftermath. No one notices a blonde, dirty, teenager slide into the office. Tina crept through the office trying to be as quiet and as inconspicuous as possible. She came to Dr. Lightman's office and entered. Lightman was snoring away quietly on his couch.

" Dr. Lightman?"

More snoring.

"Dr. Lightman?!"

Nothing.

" DR. LIGHTMAN?!"

Still nothing. Sighing, Tina hits Cal extremely hard on the head with a nearby book.

"Oi! Bloody hell! What was that for?!?!"

Cal's eyes widen as he finally realizes who woke him.

"Hello Dr. Lightman. My name is Tina. I've been missing for four years, and I need your help."
