Mary picked up the phone "hello?" she asked.
"Yes hello this is Officer Breeze. I am just calling to inform you that we have not yet found your daughter. Have you heard anything from her?"
"Officer Breeze?" she didnt remember calling the cops. Sam over heard her say Officer and he took the phone from her.
"Hi this is Sam, who is this?"
"This is Officer Breeze im calling to update our search for Jessica."
"Ah yes. Im sorry to put you through so much trouble but it seems shes with her father."
"oh well good. Im glad to hear. Its no trouble really im just glad you were able to find her. Well bye." Officer Breeze hung up.
Sam sighed laying the phone down. "Mary you called the cops?' she just gave him a blank look.
"Mary are you sure you're O.K.?" Sam studied her worridly. In the small time that hes known her he has come to care for her. Though, he never noticed any problems that he is now. "Why dont you go lay down and rest I'm going to take care of the house and maybe give Marion a call again. O.K.?" Mary nodded heading to her room.
Sam watched sadly and picked up the phone hitting redial on it. If he remembered correctly Marions number was the last numbered dialed. It rang and finally someone picked up.
"Hello is this Marion?"
"Yes, is this Sam?"
"Yes, I was wondering if you know if Mary has any ... problems?" Maybe since this guy was Jessicas father he might know if Mary had some psychological problem.
"What? No I dont know. Hell I didnt even know I had a daughter. Thats how much she tells me. Thats right. She better be coming to take that girl back and fast!" Marion ranted not caring about anyone but himself. "I dont have the time to watch over no kid. I got enough kids to watch as it is."
"Marion, please. This is important." Sam pleaded lightly.
"Well I dont give a damn. Come and pick this girl up or else." Marion growled.
"I cant promise anything right away. How bout you watch Jessica for a little bit. Because right now being with her mother is not the best thing for her."
"No. You come get her right now. I dont care about whats best for her or her mother. Her mother didnt care about what I thought or what I should know. So why should I care about her."
"Alright fine. I'll be out in 2 weeks to get her." Sam grinned hangin up the phone before Marion could object. "Take that Marion. Geez poor guy doesnt even have a decent name" he shook his head.
Mr. Sir stormed over to Jessica shoving a shovel at her. "If your here you're gonna dig."
Jessica frowned taking the shovel. "Dig what?" She looked around. "Its nothing but sand."
"exactly." he turned her towards the dig site walking her over. Jessica frowned at all the boys digging their holes and looked up at Mr. Sir.
"Um.. Why do I have to dig. I didnt do nothing."
"You're here aren't ya." he said rhetorically. "now start digging."
She frowned and nearly fell over when her shovel barely peirced the ground. She glared over at him when he laughed.
"Just think. One down, ten million to go." He smirked.
Jessica just glared at his retreating back. Hating her mother for putting her here and hating her now here father for making her dig just because her mother was messed up and he didnt want to take responsibility for something he took part in making. "Life sucks" she growled to herself finally making a dent in the ground.
