Chapter Fourteen

As Roland pulled up in front of Samuel's house, they saw the Police Cars. Roland parked the car and he and Greta got out, then Roland saw Samuel, he, and Greta hurried over to where he was.

When Samuel saw Roland and Greta, he almost flew across the ground and into Roland's waiting arms. "We'll find her." Roland told him. Greta held onto both of them and said, "God will show us the way."

Then Roland heard, "Dad." He turned around, there was Seto and Joey, and they were walking over to where they were. "We're here to help, just tell us what to do."

Samuel could not believe that they were there, willing to help him find his little girl. Joey said, "Where is your wife buried?" Samuel did not bother to think, he said, "In the Oak Cemetery over on Rose Street, why?"

Joey then said, "Once my sister was so mixed up and she ran off, my dad found her next to where our mom was buried, she was talking to mom asking her to come back."

Roland said, "It couldn't hurt to look, Seto, go tell the Officer over there where we are going." Then Samuel, Greta and Roland got into his car and drove to the Cemetery and sure enough, there was Priscilla, she had fallen asleep near her mother's grave.

They got out of the car and Samuel quietly walked over, got down on his knees, and softly said, "Priscilla, honey we have to get you home, you're cold."

She opened her eyes and grabbed hold of her daddy and cried, "Why did grandma say those horrible things to me, did I kill my mommy?"

It nearly killed Samuel to hear his daughter talk like that and he held her to his breast and said, "No, baby, you didn't kill mommy, she loved you with all her heart and she didn't want to leave us but she got real sick and she went to heaven."

Roland was holding Greta in his arms and they were both crying as they listened to his man talk to his daughter, trying to reassure her that she was not the cause of her mother's death.

Samuel picked her up and carried her back to Roland's car, they got into the back and Roland drove them home. The Police were glad that the little girl was found and they call off the search. The Police Chief said, "Why did she run off?"

Roland told him, "Her grandmother is fighting for custody of her and she called their home tonight and thinking she was talking to Mr. Burton, she said that it was his daughter's fault that her mommy was dead, when in reality Mrs. Burton died from breast cancer. But the daughter answered the phone and heard what her grandmother was saying, got frightened and ran off."

The Police Chief then said, "That woman needs to have her head examined, to call and say those horrible things to anyone are not right. I hope that the little girl is going to be alright." Roland thanked him and then he walked to the house.

Samuel was in the living room still holding his daughter in his arms; Greta had found a blanket and covered Priscilla with it. Roland walked over and knelt down in front of Samuel and said, "Are you alright, is there anything I can do for you?"

Samuel looked at Roland with tears in his eyes and he said, "I could of lost her tonight, that bitch almost made me lose my little girl."

Roland said, "But you didn't she's going to be alright, if you want I can stay here with you for a little while." Samuel said, "I'd like that, and thanks for being here and for helping me look for her."

Seto told his dad, "We'll give Greta a ride home, and dad, we're going to postpone the interview with the Attorney, we can make it another day." Samuel then said, "Please go and help them, Priscilla wouldn't want you to."

Seto and Joey both told Samuel, "If you need anything, just let us know." He thanked them and then they left.

Roland sat beside Samuel and then Priscilla started to come to, she opened her eyes and there sat both Roland and her dad, she said, "Daddy, I saw mommy in my dream.

She told me that I was her princess and that not to listen to what grandma said, she also told me to tell you that she's happy for you and Roland."

Samuel started to cry, Roland put his arm around him, and then Samuel said, "Baby, you are our princess, and grandma was upset because she thought that she was going to lose in court tomorrow, that's why she said those things."

Then Priscilla kissed her daddy and reached over to Roland who leaned down and she kissed him too. "Daddy, I'm sleepy, can I lay down here and go to sleep?"

They stood up and Samuel laid her on the couch, and as they stood there holding onto each other, he said, "Matilda is going to pay for what she nearly cost me, she had no right at all saying those hateful things."

Roland said, "Please let your attorney handle things, if you say or do anything tomorrow, she could win and take her away from us."

Samuel looked at Roland and he said, "Thank you for being here, I would have certainly lost it if you weren't here to keep me grounded, and you are right when you said, from us."

Roland then said, "You know that when the times right, we're going to have to explain things to her, like how our love for each other might make people talk, I don't ever want her hurt and the minute I think she's hurting, I'll break off our relationship."

Samuel turned and looked up at Roland and said, "When the time comes, we'll sit down together and we'll answer any questions she might have, I love you and I'm not going to let you leave."

Roland then leaned down and kissed him and they heard, "Hey, someone down here is trying to sleep, if you want to kiss go into the kitchen."

They both started to laugh and Samuel said, "Alright, we'll be quiet." They sat down on the other couch and quietly watched Priscilla sleep. Roland had to leave, but he promised to call when they were done talking to the Attorney. Samuel walked him to the door and he said, "Tell Greta, Seto and Joey thanks for me." Then Roland walked out, went to his car, and drove home.

Samuel closed and locked the door, and then he walked to the kitchen, made a pot of coffee and waited until it was time to go to court, and he prayed that in the morning, the Judge would rule in his favor.

And that somehow it would come out what Matilda did, and how it hurt his daughter and she ran off and ended at the cemetery where she fell asleep on her mommy's grave.

In the morning, Samuel woke Priscilla up and said, "Honey, we have to get ready, I need to go pick up Greta and head over to the Court House."

She got up and said, "You're not real angry with me for running off last night are you?" Samuel hugged her and he said, "You shouldn't of run off, you should have come to me and we could have talked.

I was scared that I wouldn't see you again, I understand how it hurt you when you heard your grandmother say those horrible things, but please do run off again."

She kissed him and said, "I'm sorry and I won't ever do that again." Then went to her room to take a shower and change clothes, then they walked out the door and he drove to the Manor and got Greta and then he drove to the Court House.
