Willow
Willow was 4 years old now she had brown curly hair,tanned like skin and had big green eyes,everyday she sat by the windows sit in her room at the centre she sat there waiting for her mum.
Beckett had sat out this case,she had said she had paper work to do at home,but really she didn't,the case was about a brick that went through a window and killed the victim,flashbacks flowed in her head,the smashing of the window,the rush and panic,Willows screaming and crying.
A young new girl who was new to the centre,was Willows new carer,her skin was in between tanned and pale,she had dark brown hair,she was medium height and was British.
"Hello"
Willow turned her head.
"Hi"
And turned back her head,the girl walked over to the window seat.
"I'm your new carer what's your name"
"Willow"
"I'm Gracie..Gracie Bancroft"
They sat there in quiet.
"Do you not like the other kids"
"I'm waiting"
"Waiting what for"
Willow slipped off the window seat,she walked over to a corner of her room,she pushed a baby car seat over,Gracie helped her put it on the window seat,willow picked up a blanket.
"This is my baby blanket it has my name on it"
She handed it over to Gracie,she pulled out another object.
"This helps me sleep at night it's a music box that has my mum singing"
She pulls out the last object.
"And this...it's a note"
Gracie starts to read the note.
"Please take care of my baby girl,her name is Willow I will come back for her when it's "
Gracie puts the stuff back in the car seat.
"So that's who your waiting for your mum"
Gracie stands up.
