A/N: First in my series of edits!

"I don't want to dad!" I Alli Goode said to my crazy father who just insisted I train every day in the art of martial arts, to stay in shape. I already play soccer almost every day! I think that has to count for something, but apparently my dad does not.

"Awww C'mon Al! You haven't perfected your roundhouse!" practically whined my father Zach Goode. Well okay not whined but with more feeling than he usually puts in.

"Dad! I have to go to school and besides it's not like a van full of goons are just going to pull up next to me and try to kidnap me! I mean seriously. I am just Alli Goode, only child of Zachary Goode and my mystery mom. No one wants to kidnap me dad. No one." I turned and walked out but not in time to see the look of regret on his face.

I was almost out the door, apple in my hand raised to my mouth for the first bite. The sunny morning greeted me with a slight breeze as I headed to the bus stop.

" Al, how many times have I told you to NOT call your mother "mystery woman"?"

Sighing I turned around to face my father. "About a billion."

"Right. She's not a mystery woman she's your mother. Oh, and a van could still pull up so you will regret not practicing someday." With those words my father turned and slammed the door.

Fine. Whatever. He doesn't have to tell me her name. It's been that way forever.

I continued on my way to the bus stop letting that sun's rays warm my face.

Ring…..ring…ring….

"Hello? Anna Fetterman speaking."

"Hey Anna."

"Uhhh. Who is this?"

"Oh! Uh, sorry I forgot. I haven't really talked to you for a long while. It's Zach."

"Zach? As in Zach Goode?The Zach Goode who ran away in senior year and has a daughter. That Zach Goode?"

"Yep that's me."

"Wow. So you finally decided to return huh?"

"Yeah. I made a mistake. I need to send Alli to Gallagher."

"…Okay Zach. Where do you want us to pick her up? "

"Could you do it now? She is on the way to her bus stop."

"Umm Zach, We are in Roseville. There is no way we'll make it before she gets on the bus."

"yeah… about that… I live 45 miles to the east of Roseville."

"You have been that close! I'll send the van right over. Will you come too?"

"Sorry no thanks maybe later. Anna, thanks for doing this bye."

… call has been disconnected…..

Alli POV

Almost at the bus stop I was smiling. The weather was nice, I had soccer practice later that night, and best of all I was thinking of the current crush I had. If I had been paying attention I would have noticed that a van had ever so discreetly crept up behind me. I would have noticed the two men almost right behind me, with Band-Aid looking things in their hands. I would have noticed anything before I was shaken out of my daydream by hands covering my mouth and something cool sticking to my neck. I would have noticed this all but, I didn't and then, I was unconscious.
