It was August 15, 2014 when a number came up on the machine that belonged to a seven year old name Ciara Sage Meyers. John didn't know what kind of trouble she was in but he did know her parents were murdered when she was just four years old.

John: Are you Ciara Sage Meyers?

Ciara: Yes, who are you?

John: I'm John Reese. I can keep you safe, I promise. Do you trust me?

Strangely enough Ciara did trust him so she nodded her head and smiled.

John: Alright we have to run, do you mind if I carry you?

Ciara: (shook her head) No

John picks up Ciara and runs as fast as he can back to Finch. He doesn't know what he'll do next, but he has to save this little girl. He can tell by the look in her eyes that she has been abused emotionally, mentally, and physically. Once John gets back to Finch's penthouse, he asked Ciara some questions.

"Do you know where you live?" John asked

Ciara nodded, "Yes but I can't go back."

"Why not?" John asked

"My parents were killed. It was three years ago, so I was four."

*Flashback to three years ago*

One of the kidnappers of Ciara, Maxwell, "Make sure the kid watches. Tie her up if you have to."

The other kidnapper, Brian, "Ok I will" He grabs Ciara and sits her in a chair in front of her parents. She tries to run so he ties her in place. "Ready?" Brian asked

"Yes" Maxwell replied as he nodded

Dylan, Ciara's dad said, "Please don't make my daughter watch. She's just a little girl."

"She will watch you die." Brian said firmly

Ciara's mom, Grace was to scared to speak so she cried silently instead. Maxwell holds a gun to Dylan and shoots him in the head, then he does the same to Grace.

"Mommy! Daddy! No die!" Ciara cried

Maxwell commanded Brian firmly, "Grab the brat. We're taking her."

"No I'll run. I won't tell the cops. I'll hide from everyone. I promise." Ciara cried while begging.

"I can't take any chances." Maxwell replied

*End of Flashback*

Ciara is crying, "They killed my mommy and daddy right in front of me, and then they took me and we drove and drove and drove. I have no where to go. Please John, adopt me." Ciara uses her signature puppy dog eyes.

For the first time since he started working for Finch, John was shocked. This little girl needed a home, but he didn't know if he could be a father. He was scared. What if he said yes and was a terrible father, then what would he do? If he said no, he might break the little girl's heart not to mention that she would be placed in a foster home probably bouncing from home to home until she was adopted or until she aged out of the foster system.

John sighed, "Ok Ciara, I'll adopt you."

Ciara jumps up and down excitedly. She hugs John, "Thanks daddy."

Months later after the adoption is finalized and all the paper are signed. Ciara is John's little girl, his princess. She is now officially Ciara Sage Reese.

"Hey princess, why did you want me to adopt you?" John asked curiously

"Because you remind me of my biological daddy." Ciara replied

John nodded, "Ok, well what do you say we go home?"

"Ok daddy" Ciara said as she put up her arms to be carried. John picked up his daughter and carried her as they headed home.
