Madison woke up early Saturday morning and immediately felt something was wrong. The air smelled different like it had just rained really hard and everything seemed to be moving in slow motion. Then suddenly time sped up and everything began to happen so very fast…
Someone was pounding on the front door of the little cabin her and Logan lived in, suddenly the door swung open and several men in police uniforms came running in. Startled Madison froze in mid step and was grabbed by one of the officers. Snapping out of her daze Madison began to scream and kick managing to free herself from the officer holding her.
"LOGAN!" She screamed running back into the house where she saw several policemen surrounding Logan with guns, "Don't hurt him!" Madison cried out when another policeman grabbed her again.
"Get her out of here! This man's dangerous!" One of the officers shouted over his shoulder while keeping his gun aimed at Logan.
"Let me go! Let me go!" Madison shrieked and was shoved inside one of the squad cars.
Logan started forward but the sound of several clicks of the safety on a gun stopped him, "If you hurt I swear I'll kill ya!" Logan snarled glaring at each of the officers.
"Put your hands over your head!" One of the officers shouted while he aimed his gun at Logan's head.
For once Logan was at a loss; he couldn't harm the officers because then he wouldn't get Madison back for sure. Glaring at the men he hesitantly raised his hands in the air and allowed the police to handcuff him.

"You're going home Madison," The lady police officer smiled at the girl as she drove, "How does it feel?"
Madison glared at the lady, "You just took me away from my home." She hissed wiping her eyes with her sleeve.
The rest of the car ride to the station was in silence.

The interrogator took a drag of his cigarette then put it out in the ashtray, "Why'd you do it, Logan? Why'd you kidnap that girl 11 years ago?"
Logan leaned forward in his chair, which was turned around backwards due to his hands still being cuffed, "I told ya already. I didn't kidnap her. I found her-"
"You found her in an alley, yea I know. But then why didn't you take her to us?"
Logan sneered at the man, "'Cause you'd have put her in an orphanage. I ain't gonna let some little blind girl be put away like that!"
Confusion played across the man's features, "Blind? What do you mean blind?"
"When I found her she was blind. Turned out she had a tumor or somethin'." Logan replied coldly.
"Then how come she can see now?"
Logan sighed leaning back in his chair, "Doctors removed it when she was five. Look, what's yer name-"
"Bob." The man replied cutting Logan off.
"Madison doesn't want to go back to her father, I think he might o' done somethin' to her when she was a kid."
Bob sighed and pulled his pack of cigarettes, he s offered one to Logan but got a look that said, 'I'm handcuffed behind my back you moron what do expect me to do?!'
"Uh right…" He mumbled softly to himself taking one and lit it, "What happens to Madison is up to the judge. I suggest you get yourself a real good lawyer 'cause I heard this judge doesn't take to kindly to mutants."
Logan sighed, "Just great." He growled tempted to slam his head onto the table several times but decided that would look bad for him.
"Guess we're done then." Bob stood up and headed for the door, "Good luck." He whispered as he walked passed Logan.
"Good luck my-"

Madison sat in a chair in the hallway outside an office with the name; 'Juliet Wilborne' neatly painted in big black letters across the glass on the closed door. Realizing for the first time that she was still in her pajamas a light blush crept across her face suddenly disappearing when the door opened.
"Madison?" A woman, presumably Juliet Wilborne, stepped out into the hallway, "Will you please come in?"
Madison stood to her feet and followed the Juliet into her office. It was a small neatly organized room, actually organized was an understatement. Everything was organized with labels right down to the pens and paperclips sitting neatly on the desktop. At first appearance, the woman didn't strike Madison as an organized person. She wore big thick glasses with a black frame, her makeup was on quite messily, and her clothes were wrinkled.
"I am Ms. Wilborne." The woman smiled offering Madison a seat in front of the desk.
Madison sat down and Ms. Wilborne walked around the desk to her chair.
"I need to ask you a few questions before you can go see your father, okay?"
"I don't want to see him." Madison whispered concentrating on the paperclip box.
Ms. Wilborne furrowed her brow, "Why don't you want to see your father?"
Madison looked up at the woman frowning, "'cause he abandoned me in an alley and left me for dead." She said softly
"Are you sure you weren't just brainwashed by this… Logan character?" Ms. Wilborne frowned picking up a pen and some paper.
"Logan has been like a father to me! He wouldn't do something like that!" Madison shouted wiping her eyes, "Please don't send me to that guy that claims to be my father." She whimpered fully aware that she sounded like a child and not a fourteen year old.
Ms. Wilborne jotted a few notes down on the paper then folded it up and put it into an envelope.
"Give this to the judge tomorrow when you go up on stand, okay?" She smiled softly as she handed the envelope to Madison.
"What is it?"
"I'm sure you'll find out sooner or later." Ms. Wilborne smiled walked across the room and opened the door.
Madison left the office and was met by a security guard who took her to another room where a change of clean clothes, a brush, and a letter awaited her. After changing into the clothes, a black skirt and white tank top, and brushing her hair Madison opened up the letter. It was from Rogue and she had seen Logan!
It read-
Madison-I can't believe what's going on! The Prof. and I saw Logan this afternoon.
He's okay, angry, but okay. He was mostly worried about you girl. The Prof. has already gotten him a lawyer, a real good one at that, and is due to go to court today. Thought you could use a pair of clothes considering those idiots dragged you guys out of the house at 8 in the morning! Logan was just in a pair of sweat pants when we saw him, luckily the Prof. brought him a suit. To say the least Logan wasn't too happy.
Don't worry girl we'll get you home again, be strong.
-Rogue
Just as she finished the note there was a knock at the door and the guard walked in.
"It's time to go." He said gruffly but there was softness to his voice as well.
Madison nodded folding up her letter and dropped it into the duffle bag that contained her clothes and brush then left the room with the guard.
