Amanda Rollins was driving home from a long day when she saw a young girl walking the streets. Her heart was starting to break so she tried to remember the words she had said to her colleagues earlier that day. "I'm never having kids." Eventually her heart and emotions got the better her, so she pulled over and got out of the car. Amanda walked toward the young girl and got in front of her to stop her from running off.

"Um who are you?" The young girl asked

"I'm Amanda Rollins. What's your name?" Amanda said

"I'm Mollianne." The young girl replied

Amanda nodded and asked concerned, "Where do you live, Mollianne? Do you need a ride home? Or are you lost?"

Mollianne shook her head, "No ma'am, I'm not lost."

"Okay well then Mollianne, where do you live?" Amanda asked again but this time in her cop voice

Mollianne sighed, "I don't have a house."

"What about your parents?" Amanda asked

Mollianne looked down, "I don't have any parents. They died eleven years ago when I was only two days old."

Amanda nodded with an apologetic look on her face, "Okay well it's late, so for tonight you can stay with me. Then tomorrow we'll go to social services."

Mollianne's eyes widened at the mention of social services. She protested, "No! You can't take me to social services. They think I'm dead. I sort of faked my death six months ago."

Amanda nodded again, "Okay well we'll worry about that tomorrow. You'll be safer with me than out here in the streets."

Mollianne looked at Amanda quizzically. It was times like this she wished she had Scottlynn, who was her sister but Mollianne called Scottlynn mom.

"Don't worry. I'm a cop." Amanda said showing the girl her badge "You'll be safe with me. I promise."

Mollianne nodded slowly, "Okay."

Later that night when Mollianne was asleep, she had a bad dream and started tossing and turning in her sleep.

"Mom!" Mollianne cried in her sleep "Mom, don't leave me. Please mommy, don't let them do this to us. Mommy, please. I love you. I need you, mommy."

Mollianne woke up screaming and sobbing. Amanda woke up and ran to the room Mollianne was in. She sat on the edge of the bed.

"Hey sweetie, what's wrong?" Amanda asked soft and gentle but concerned

Mollianne just leaned in, hugged Amanda, and sobbed. Amanda hugged Mollianne back and rubbed the girl's back.

"Shh sweetie...shh it's okay. It's okay." Amanda assured the girl

Mollianne just continued sobbing, but eventually it let up a little bit. She sniffled, "Mommy, I want mommy."

Amanda was confused and asked for confirmation, "I thought you said your parents died eleven years ago."

"They...they did." Mollianne replied sniffling "My mom is my sister, Scottlynn. She's fourteen. Social services separated us a year ago. They won't let us see each other."

Amanda nodded and continued rubbing Mollianne's back, "I'm sorry about that. I know you want your mom, but I think the best I can do is check on her. Make sure she's okay."

"Okay Mandy. Thanks." Mollianne replied while still hugging Amanda.
