Mac's Surprise
By Cara
Mac sat on her couch reading her case file for the trail the next morning when she heard a knock on the door. "Just a minute I'll be right there, who could be bothering her at this time of night", it was 11 and she was a little annoyed. She opened the door and there stood a women and a young girl there. "Yes, may help you" said Mac. " Do you know who this child is Sarah" the women replied? " "No should I" Mac said. "And how do you know my name. " "I'm a social worker and you aunt Susan has died" "Um, why don't you come on in and sit down, my aunt is dead well then this must be Olivia." "Yes this is. I believe I wrote you about her and about your aunts' death did you not receive the letter". "You know now that you mention it I do think I remember a letter but that was a month ago what took so long to get here? " "Well you see it took awhile to find Olivia." What do you mean find, was she lost" Mac said. "In a way yes Sarah do you think you can show Olivia where she can sleep I'd like to talk to you alone." "Oh yes ok, right this way Olivia this is the guest room, here are some clean sheets and a pillow do you need any help." Olivia just shook her head no. Mac went back out to the social worker. "Now, why did it take so long for her to get here? I thought maybe you found someone else."
"Sarah she ran away after her mother was buried she went all the way to Fl from Ohio and it took a week to find her there."
"How could she have runned in the first place weren't you watching her?"
Yes but you see she hopped out the window after everyone was asleep."
"Well then why wasn't she brought after you found her this is silly it's been over a month what did she run twice?" The social workers face grew a little worried. "You mean she ran twice."
"Actually she ran a total of three times. She is a very complicated girl. And she is very sad and angry. Now I must go. But let me tell you how happy I am to you for taking her. You're the only one left in your family that will take her. Here is her file read it that way you know what is coming Goodbye", and she was out the door before Sarah could say anything.
"What I'm I to do, oh no my case it's twelve and I have a court case at eight tomorrow." Mac went and checked on Olivia. "Good she was asleep and not gone." Sarah brought Olivia's file and read it, it had said most of the things the social worker had said. She was a runaway and she was a very angry child and if she didn't get passed her anger stage there's not telling what she is capable of doing to her or someone else. Mac closed the file and thought," I have my work cut out for me."
Mac woke up at six the next morning. She walked half asleep into the bathroom and turned on the shower Ah that felt good. She washed and after she was done and got out of the shower she started to wipe off the mirror when she remembered Olivia. What was she going to do with her? Well the only thing to do was call the Admiral and see if she could come to work with her. She picked up the phone and dialed.
"Admiral this is Colonel Mackenzie. Yes sir I'm fine. No sir not sick, I need a favor. Remember I told you my cousin was coming to live with me well she is her sir and I was wondering if she could come to work with me. No sir she won't be any trouble at all. Thank you sir, now to go wake up Olivia."
"Olivia time to wake up, you have to go with me to work today." Mac shook her a little she just turned over and moaned a little. "Come on sweet heart you really need to get up."
"NO!" Yelled Olivia "I don't want to go you can't make me leave me alone!"
"Listen Olivia I don't have too much time to argue with you, you must get up."
"I don't want to and you can't make me!"
"Ok I'm going to give you ten min to get up and get started to get dressed. If you don't I'll bring you to my work just the way you are and don't think I won't." Mac left Olivia's room; "I have an hour before my court case I hope I get there on time." She decided to call Harm to see if he could come over if anything happened. Harm's phone rang, "come on Harm answer your phone. Harm this is Mac. Hey Mac what's up, I need you to come over and help me with something. I'll explain the reason when you get here. Ok see you in about fifteen min."
