Chapter 52:

****one week later****

"Girl wake up. Here sit up." Fire opened her eyes. She felt someone helping her sit up. "Drink some water. You poor thing."

"Where I am? Who are you?" Fire asked rubbing her yes and taking the glass of water. "How I get here?"

"I am April, I work for the Conlons…." Fire spit the water out and jumped out of bed.

"Fuck!" Fire grabbed her side. "I got to go. I got to get out of here."

"Miss Cleary you will sit your Irish fanny down. You get back in bed. don't make me force you." April grabbed Fire's shoulder. "Don't worry I am the only one that knows who you really are."

"I don't know what your talking about." Fire looked April in the eyes. "How the fuck you know?"

"Watch your language. Honey I raised you. I bathed you. I fed you. You think I wouldn't be able to tell who you are. Anyway there is no one in this world with those eyes. Mr. Conlon isn't home for another week. Get back in bed now!" Fire climbed back in bed. "That's better. Now you are so lucky your brother found you. James took care of you right there. They were coming home from a party and he saw you and he just jumped out of the carriage. If it wasn't for him you would have died. What were you doing out there all alone? You have been going in and out of it for a week. Let me go get James so he can check you out."

"Don't leave me." Fire looked around. "April this is my old room. How come it isn't dusty and stuff."

"Your mama would never allow yours or Patrick's room to get dusty and either would I. Cleaned these rooms like you two were coming back soon. I miss you two so much. Oh those late nights when I would come into the kitchen and I see you sitting there stuffing your faces with what ever you two could find. Oh you tow were to much for an old one like me. I am just gonna go to the living room and get James. Here take Teddy." April kissed Fire On the forehead.

"Okay Fire it's okay. He's not here. Damn it. Spot. Spot. Spot. Damn it." Fire closed her eyes. "No one's gonna hurt you. No one's gonna rape you. Your gonna be fine. Anyway your older now Fire. He's doesn't control you."

"Hello sleepy head." Fire looked at the doorway. There stood her brother. He look almost exactly like Spot except his eyes were brown. "How you feeling? Any pain, anything?" James sat down on the end of the bed. "you're a pretty strong girl to survive what you just did. The names James Conlon and you are?"

"Uh Fire Ice." Fire shook James hand that he was holding out.

"You got a last name?" James asked.

"Um Meyers, Fire Ice Meyers." James nodded.

"You got to rest. I can tell you haven't been taking care of yourself have you. Don't answer I don't wanna hear you lame excuses. You know your sick yet your out there all alone in the middle of the night. What the hell was going through your mind? You must have some people worried sick. I know if I had a wife, daughter, or sister that was sick and she was out in the middle of the night I would murdering everyone that got in my way. So tell me where I can find your family to tell them your okay. Mr. Conning!" Fire gasped and her eyes went wide.

"What you want James?" A big, older man asked coming through the door.

"Let go of me! Please Mr. Conning. Please!" A seven year old Fire struggled to break free. "Please just let me go." Mr. Conning through Fire against the wall.

"My friend told me to teach you a lesson you would never forget. This is the only way I know how. Now Cleary we can make this simple. I am not a violent guy." He placed his hand on her shoulder.

"No. Don't!" Fire scrambled to her feet and ran for the door. But he grabbed her around the waste.

"You don't stand a chance. Just give it up Cleary!" He threw her down on the ground. "Just wanna have some fun."

"Get away from me!" Fire yelled jumping back. "Go away! I hate! I hate you!" Fire started crying. James wrapped his arms around her. And motioned for Mr. Conning to leave.

"It's okay Fire. Shhh its gonna be okay. Now tell me where your family is. And I'll send someone to go get them." James kissed her forehead. "Shhh. I'm not gonna let anyone hurt you."

"Brooklyn Lodging House. Please make sure Spot comes. I need my brother." James stared at Fire then called for April.

"Brooklyn Lodging House and Bring Spot back here Now!"
