The next day Kristin pulled Colt along. She knew they were close by the famaliar sights from when she had ran away many times. She saw a car coming up and slowing down but she didn't think anything of it and continued walking.

Suddenly the car stopped completely and an unfamaliar-looking man stepped out. "What's wrong, kiddies?" he asked as he inched towards them. Kristin clung to Colt. "Go away," she warned.

"Aww you're too cute!" he exclaimed sweetly, placing a hand on her chin. She swerved away from him and another car drove off.

"Get away from them!" a police officer yelled. Kristin looked and saw Peter running to her. THe guy backed off and Peter enclosed Kristin into a tight hug. "I missed you, daddy," she said through her relieved tears. "I missed you, too," he whispered hoarsly. They pulled apart and he examined her face.

She looked down at the ground but he moved her face up. "Kristin, did he hit you?" he asked quietly. "No..I just missed you..." she lied. he nodded and decided he'd talk toher later. "Is this your brother?" he asked, nodding towards Colt. She nodded. "She lied. Daddy got real mad and hither," Colt blurted.

"Shut up you little pest!" she snapped. "He's lying," she said immidiately. He nodded. "Come home," he said, "and me and Sophie have a surprise," he finished. She eyed him suspiciously. "What?" she asked.

"Just come on."
