Chapter 2

The next morning Olivia was up at 7am and started to make breakfast for her Dad.

Danny rolled over in bed and sleepily walked towards the kitchen. He stopped in his tracks when he saw Olivia up and dressed making breakfast.

"God, am I dreaming?" Danny said out loud

"Oh. Morning Dad." Olivia said walking over and kissing him on the cheek.

"How come you're up so early?" Danny looked at her

"I just wanted to make it up to you because I haven't been the easiest person to live with these past few months." Olivia said handing him a cup of coffee

"Wow. You know you don't have to though. I know its tough not having your mom around but I'm here for you. You know that don't you?"

"Yeah." Olivia said with her back to him.

Danny was unconvinced and came up behind her.

"Ol. Talk to me. Whatever it is you can tell me. Olivia turned to face him.

"She left for a reason right. She never wanted me in the first place. It just hurts sometimes to know that your own mother doesn't love you." Olivia said, tears rolling down her cheeks. Danny pulled her into a hug.

"I think your mom does love you deep down. She's just too stupid to realise it."

"Thanks Dad."

Danny's cell started to ring from the bedroom. It was Jack, they had a case and Danny had to meet Martin at the victim's home.

"You gonna be ok."

"Yeah I'll be fine. I'll catch the bus with Sophie and Jess."

"Ok I should go get ready." Danny said kissing her head.

A little while later Danny was headed out the door on his way to meet Martin.

"Have a good day at school. I'll call you at lunch." Danny said

"Ok. See you later." Olivia said hugging him before he left.

Olivia was about half way to the bus stop and was early for a change. She decided to go to the convenience store to get a drink. She headed into the store.

"Good morning Olivia. You're early today."

"Hi, Max. I thought I'd drop in and see how you were doing."

"I'm good. You get along with your Dad these days?"

"Yeah we sorted things out."

"Good good."

Just then another customer came in so Olivia went to the back of the store to get a bottle of water. On her way she passed a few people picking up newspapers before work. She was just opening the fridge when she heard shouting.

"Everyone get down with your hands in the air!"

She lay down on the ground with her hands in the air as did the four other people and the Max did. She looked up and saw three men armed with guns, one of which was a machine gun. Why did dad have to go to work early this morning?

One of the people on the ground moved their hands slightly and the man with the machine gun started firing at them. A stray bullet hit off the bottom shelf and hit Olivia in the side and another went into her shoulder. All she felt was burning in her side before she passed out. The men took what was in the till and ran out, leaving several people bleeding to death.
