"Well, that was a very memorable day," Reid said that evening when they arrive back at the office. "Danni is a very interesting person to observe. A lot more interesting than the others because there is something different about her and Mandy like a little light shines around them. Not all of the other HSR's have it but some do but not as bright as Danni and Mandy."

They had been following us for only one week and it was actually quite entertaining to them all.

"Speak for yourself, Reid," Morgan said sighing, "Trying to keep track of Kyle in the hallway is like trying to keep track of a star's movements in the middle of the day. He's impossible to follow with his boundless energy. He runs into people all the time. I'm surprised he's not a freight train with how he goes through the crowded hallway. He's so full of energy during classes he's bouncing off the walls and I don't know how he's teachers can stand him."

"Well, Danni is so small that she can move faster through the crowds in the hallway then I can, but I always caught up with her when she got to class," Reid said. "She usually was sitting at her desk by the time I got through and arrived."

"I saw Jessie really use one of their mottos," Gideon said, "The one the other HSR's used with Jedi. The one that says 'We don't start a fight but we will finish one.'"

"What do you mean by that?" JJ asked.

"Kids in one of the hallways said that the HSR's should be sent to a mental hospital and spend the rest of their lives locked up there because they don't belong in a real sane society. Jessie said the perfect come back 'We aren't mirrors?' He took a swing at her but she kicked him between the legs and went down before he could get up she kicked him again. A teacher pulled her away and told her to calm down or she'd be sent to ISP. I took her outside to talk thinking that her ordeal was getting to her but she said that motto and told me she was fine and she didn't throw the first punch he did."

Suddenly Hotch's phone rang. He picked it up and a frantic voice was on the other end was talking too fast for them to understand. They all heard my mom yell two words they all understood. "DANIELLE'S MISSING!"

He hung up the phone and they hurried to the elevator as fast as they could go. Had the kidnapper gotten to me again?

I was sitting alone at Summit Elementary a school not far from my house on the swings in the playground. Tears were streaming in rivers down my face. I was alone but wasn't worried about it either.

"Danni!" I heard Trent calling my nick name as he ran across the parking lot to me when he saw me sitting there all alone in the near darkness. "Are you all right?" He said as he slowed as he came toward me when I didn't raise my head at all.

I nodded silently.

"Danni, I know you're lying to me," he sat in the swing next to me. "Come on you can tell me what's wrong."

"I'm scared," I said looking up. He could see that I'd been crying. My eyes were all red and my cheeks were tear stained.

"Can I call Hotch and the Criminal Minds Crew to tell them that I found you? They and the other HSR's are all looking for you and we are all worried sick." He asked pulling out his cell phone and opening it.

I nodded but added, "Just please don't tell them where I am. I want to be alone but you can stay here too if you want to but you can leave if you want to also. I'll be fine. I know the trees over there better than anyone." I said nodding to the trees across the soccer field and baseball diamonds. "I could hide in there and not be found if I needed too though no one would come here this time of night."

He nodded. As he called I didn't even listen to his conversation not caring what was said. After he finished talking to Hotch he hung up and asked me what was wrong again.

"I'm scared."

"You said that but of what?"

"Someone trying to drown me of course, I've had several nightmares about it."

"I understand that's what that man tried to do to you when you were rescued and you almost didn't make it though. They said we almost lost you that night."

"I'm really scared he'll be able to get into my room again. I have so many nightmares about him and can't sleep because of what happened to me."

Trent got up and came behind me and rubbed my neck giving me a relaxing massage on my shoulders and back. He felt my tense muscles relax immediately. He rubbed until I was almost asleep in the swing comfortable in the silence.

"How did you get here?" He finally asked curious because there wasn't a car in the parking lot.

"I have a bike," I said pointing a bicycle lying fifteen feet way, "I couldn't take the car. My parents would know and stop me. They hardly let me out of the house. I just felt trapped and smothered. I had to get out before I had a break down in front of them."

"They're worried about you. Hotch went to tell them you are fine and with a friend."

I nodded, "I guessed he would do that but I wanted to go somewhere to be alone and cry because they kept tells me to just get over it but I can't. It's easier said than done. Don't they understand I have been through so much that it's suddenly scary to do everyday things? My brother said 'Cry me a river, build me a bridge, and get over it.' They just don't seem to understand what I've been through. He almost killed me for goodness sake. That's not an easy thing you forget."

"Do you feel better now that you've cried?" He asked.

"Yeah a little bit but I still haven't figured how I'm going to just get over this. Tears have healing powers but even they can't wash away all my fears."

"Do you want to go home now?"

"No, not yet really because I'll probably be yelled at and I don't feel like I want to sit and listen to another of my mom's lectures for an hour and a half."

"Hey, I've got an idea," Trent smiled, "how about we practice our lines so we can make sure you got them along with the songs and blocking and I'll try and teach you what you haven't learned yet?"

I smiled, "You always know what to do to make me feel better Trent. I love practicing my Drama."

He kissed my cheek gently, "I made it my self-appointed job Danni."

I felt a sensation I hadn't felt much of before but I loved that feeling. It was like a tingling sensation running up my spine and through my body. It was a feeling that most people my age didn't know or realize what it really was. It was true pure love and I knew it.

Trent smiled and said. "Did you feel that?"

"Feel that what?" I said smiling.

"That tingling sensation and that overflowing feeling of happiness," He said trying to explain it.

"Yes I did. Do know what it is?" I asked with a smile.

"Yes do you?" He asked with excitement on his face.

"Yes." I said

Finally in the moonlight with the stars sparkling and smiling at us we kissed our first real kiss.

I spent that night at Trent's house. His parents let me use the spare bedroom and my parents brought me clothes and took my bike home before my dad left for work the next morning. The next day Mandy and Jessie wouldn't let it drop until they gave me a telling off for running off alone without telling anyone where I was going. They walked into my unexpected early mornings with Trent and the others as I was learning the dance to the song "Beauty and the Beast." We had just finished blocking the song "Home" the day before yesterday while Mrs. Wharton blocked "How Long Must this Go On?" with Trent.

"Perfect," Elise squealed with absolute delight as we finished the dance.

"Yeah, it was a perfect runaway job," Mandy interjected and interrupting our rehearsal which normally people would start yelling for them to shut up but not at the moment sense the room was pretty much empty except for a few people who had shown up early and were just sitting around doing pretty much nothing or last minute homework or catching a few more Z's like the front row which was laying down and some were snoring.

"Do you have any idea how worried we were about you Danni when you just suddenly disappeared off the face of the earth and no one knew where you were?" Jessie asked jumping up on to the stage with Mandy right behind her. "We thought he had taken you again and were afraid he had killed you all ready when we found out you were gone."

"Look Hotch, all ready gave me a lecture this morning before we started the blocking, I don't need another one from you two too." I said and turned to Elise. "Sorry they interrupted you Elise, continue please."

"Well let's do that one more time and if you do it right again we'll move on to the next scene." She said delighted with how fast I was learning the blocking she had practiced for weeks and I learned it in almost no time at all.

We started the scene and when Jessie and Mandy jumped off the stage to get out of the way. They then noticed JJ was sitting on the fourth row from the stage. She nodded as they walked out. Morgan and Reid were waiting for them outside the auditorium.

Elise finally said we had done enough for one morning and complimented how fast I had learned most of the blocking in such a short time to learn it all.

"She has a photographic memory with blocking, Elise." Trent explained as he jumped off the stage with me not far behind.

I jumped off too and he took my hand gently and led me out of the auditorium to the lunchroom to meet up with everyone else. So we could meet the other HSR's in there for a good breakfast which Mrs. Wharton hardly ever allowed at early mornings. Elise knew I needed it because when I was taken we were given very little food if any at all.

All the HSR's pretty much gave me a telling off, and then I was grateful it was forgotten and everyone acted like it didn't happen. When the bell rang we all got separated to go to our classes.

Trent walked with me to first hour with JJ following as best she could in that hallway which is like a road with thousands cars trying to zigzag through each other to get to their destinations at a certain time. In school it is obviously the tardy bell. Most made it barely in time. All those clunkers (HSR's) did and most of the sports cars (popular kids) didn't.

We got to class in no time and did roll which we counted off and Mrs. Wharton wanted to see the dance sequence Elise had finished teaching me that morning when she saw Trent and I were both there. I knew it was one of the tests Trent had warned me about the day I got the note. I took a deep breath and got up on the stage. Trent took his place and winked knowing I could do it as well as Elise could and she had had weeks to learn it and me only days. We did it just as perfect as we had that morning. Mrs. Wharton told us that she was very impressed that I had learned that because it was the hardest part for Elise to learn. Then she started finishing up with "Be Our Guest." Sense they all had several different dance sequences with a lot of people. It was the longest and hardest to block and learn.

Elise and the rest that weren't needed went into the other room with us to watch Trent and I learn. One of them wasn't too happy with how close Trent was to me. Elise was offered a part of one of the dishes but declined saying she'd rather be a towns person or chorus person instead of a dancer like the other two years before.

That day and for many days after Trent stuck to me like glue, I waited for him after class and he walked me to my next class not caring if he was tardy or not. That is until his parents got a call from the administration during school asking them what they should do sense Trent seemed to suddenly stop caring about getting to his classes on time. They told them that he should be sent to ISP when he was late.

That's when Hotch stepped in to get him off the hook. He told them Trent was more worried about me getting to my next class safely then getting to his next class on time. They let him off when he was late sense he was just trying to help me and they all knew what had happened to me and my sisters. He knew I was still a little scared of drowning. Though I wasn't near any water during class (unless you count the water fountains, toilets, and sinks) and the pool was locked during school hours (except for swimming or PE classes) I didn't feel quite safe. Most people had heard about our ordeal but didn't question us about it (the Criminal Minds Crew had asked them not to) which I was glad for. Sense Trent started to hang around I hadn't had another break down in a while. I spent a lot of time with him which no else questioned that either (except for Jackie because they had been girlfriend and boyfriend for only a month but she finally let it all go.)
