I hope you guys and girls like my very first published work ^^ this is the very first chapter

Act 1 : When accidents happen

Freddie walks through the mall, he can't find his mother. Then panic strikes him."Where is my mommy" he cries. After two hours of searching he gives up looking for her and sat on a bench crying. When he looks up a girl stands in front of him.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying?" The girl asked.

"Be… be… because 'sniff' my mother …" He answered and exploded in crying, hugging the girl in front of him. She, totally taken by surprise, hugs back and starts crying too without really knowing why she is.

"Freddie!!" someone shouts from a distance. Freddie looks around searching for the person shouting still hugging the girl in front of him. "Freddie, are you alright." A woman was running his way. Her face looked if she saw a ghost. Freddie still hugging with the strange girl saw his mother running to them and immediately started laughing as he turned his face to girl. The girl was still crying as Freddie let her go to hug his mother. She quickly wiped away her tears. "Freddie never do that to me again, do you know how scared I was" His mother Marissa says to him while tears of happiness rolled over her cheeks.

When his mother was done hugging Freddie she noticed the little girl. "Why are you crying?"Marissa asked while smiling at the little girl.

"My parents left without me." The girl said and stopped crying giving a big smile to Freddie. "But this boy hugged me and I am always being with him now." She said and hugged Freddie.

A man in police uniform walked over to the three. "Is this your daughter?" She looked over and smiled at the policemen. "Oh, I'm sorry, didn't notice it was you Mrs. Benson." Marissa wondered why Mark was stationed here in the mall but didn't ask about it.

"Don't mind Mark, but what is the problem? Was she really left by her parents? "Mark sighed he had told the story to often past two days and he realy couldn't take much more.

"Mrs. Benson it is a sad story, have a seat." He said while pointing to the bench."It started all two days ago. She was here with her parents to buy her a bed since they just moved over to Seattle. They found a very nice one, I know because I was send to follow them by Frank, but when they wanted to take the boxes from the shelve. This girl here pulled the shelve and it collapsed on her parents killing both instantly." Tears roll over his cheeks when telling it and the girl hugged Freddie as she would never let him go away from her like her parents did. She didn't know she actually killed them accidently and felt her parents walked out on her and didn't care about her anymore." I don't know what to do with her, I mean you know I can't let her live with other people because of that…"

Marissa Benson did the only right act in this case. "I will take her in house then a girl can't live without any parents, from now on I'll be her mother, though she will have to follow my culture. Is that okay with you Mark?" She knew he was okay with it, otherwise she wouldn't ask. That would be way to dangerous. "Of course it's okay with me. Thank you for doing this for her Mrs. Benson. Motherly instinct I guess."

Marissa smiled. "Probably that job of mine, I teach at a school for traumatized children. Shifted just three weeks ago." Mark looked at her with amazement.

"You dropped your job as executive for Magarne Garredi Atar Sarian company. That's a offer you made there." She smirked.

"I wasn't feeling at home there. I had enough of it. I'm not a good importer at all and I really had enough. Especially, when you made contact, pronouncing the name was annoying. Who came up with that name anyway." Mark laughed.

"True. They say it are the surnames of the founders. Well I have a patrol to finish. See you around."Mark walked of and finished his patrol. Happy for the girl that she walked into Marissa the only woman that could take her home and be as a parent to her.

The girl ,still hugging Freddie, smiled at Marissa. "What's your name?" Marissa asked. The girl was thinking and after a few seconds.

"Sam my name is Sam Puckett and I will be Sam Benson." She squeezed Freddie and kissed him on his forehead like only a six year old girl started laughing and took Freddie and Sam to her car totally forgetting she was here to do some shopping.

When they were by the car Marissa's cell phone rang. "Marissa Benson Speaking." The voice on the other line wasn't any she knew. "Who is this I didn't catch your name?" The voice on the other line now spoke clear and crystal.

"I'm officer Grünntman. We just transported your husband to the hospital, he fell of the balcony of your apartment. He survived the fall, but he's still in a life threatening situation. Tell me where you are and I'll send a patrol car to pick you up."

Marissa was in shock. "We're at the mall in south."

She hung up the phone and stood still. Both Freddie and Sam noticed something was wrong and hugged her legs as they couldn't reach any higher. Marissa looked at the kids as she sat down on the sidewalk. "Daddy just fell of the balcony. He's in the hospital." She was glad she knew how to control trauma's so she remained calm for the children. They didn't really knew what had happened. They were just happy Marissa smiled as they hugged her.

They were standing at the entrance of a big building. Freddie was scared by the size of it and crawled closer to Sam. It was weird for him to be so close to someone he didn't knew two hours ago. Marissa walked towards the building holding Freddie's hand. Sam didn't want to give her a hand as she was way more interested in Freddie.

When they were at the reception Freddie started crying. He tripped over a small hillock in the floor. Sam helped him stand up." In which room can we find Mr. Benson?" Marissa just ended the question as a red light flashed on behind the receptionist.

"I'm sorry Mrs. Benson your husband just passed away."

He died, he actually died. I don't know how to feel now. Happy or sad? I just don't know it. "Did that alarm behind you mean he died?" The receptionist didn't expected a question, he thought that she would collapse, but she didn't even cry.

"Eh … yes that's what it meant. Why do you ask?" Marissa smiled softly. The receptionist really thought he went crazy as she was supposed to cry, collapse even. But she smiled what was going on here.

He died exactly at the same time as Freddie fell down. This is no coincidence this is faith! She took Sam and Freddie home, not letting a tear for the man that just died.
