The following years went by so fast, a lot of things happen in the Quinn household. Callie and Sophia soon formed an amazing sister bond; Callie was the quiet child, always preferring to sit and listen rather than be the center of the attention like Sophia, who was quite exuberant. Both sister soon find themselves interested in different activities such as music and photography for Callie, and horse riding and archery for Sophia.
Robert and Jill were both proud of them, they will always took the girls skiing in the winter or go out with their yacht some week-ends or sightseeing around the word during summer break.
The Quinn were the picture perfect of a happy rich family, but nothing last forever.
One Friday, when Callie 10, something bad happen that will forever change her. She was with her grandmother Christine on their way back from a small afternoon bonding between the two, when a car out of nowhere cut their road; immediately Christine tried to shield Callie as the car was shoot far away and the air bag were opening.
The windows were shattered, smokes coming out from a lot of other cars that were also involved in the accident; lot of people saw what happen and called for the ambulance and the police as the car that had created the accident was still there, damage as the others.
Stef Foster and her partner and ex-husband Mike soon arrived at the crime scene. It was a terrible scenario, with car debris everywhere, smokes, a few flames, people injured.
"Such a terrific accident for a Friday afternoon," Mike said as they went around the cars, examining the scene.
"Well at least is an easy case to deal with," another officer said as they pass a black car.
"What do you mean?" Stef asked as she knelt and took a necklace chain, quite shuttered from the accident.
"Well the guy who did this was a drunk, his wife was killed too like a few others, fortunately we have more injured than dead people," the officer said walking toward another car.
Stef looked at Mike, with a knowing look as he responded "Don't look at me like that, I'm not an alcoholic anymore, I know you are looking at me like that for a reason, and I promise, I won't go back in that hell."
A crying girl took Stef attention as she entered the emergency room of the hospital to take some statement, she was Brandon's age, around ten years old, she look very sad on a chair; she was composed, quiet, her dress was washed-up with black and grey spots around her shirt and skirt. Stef made her way over the little girl who looked up at her as she felt Stef next to her.
"Hey there, I'm Stef, can you tell me your name?" Stef asked the girl in front of her.
"I want my parents here," she said in a whisper, she was on the verge of crying again.
"Tell me your name and I'll call them for you sweetheart" Stef said as she took a tissue to clean her falling tears.
"My name is Callie Marie Quinn, daughter of Robert and Jill Quinn," she said trembling.
Stef didn't have time to take her phone out to call the precinct for help because someone from behind screamed Callie's name; she immediately stood up.
"Daddy!" The little girl said as she ran towards the familiar voice, Stef quickly followed her. Her heart melting as she saw the little scared girl crying harder on her father shoulder as he hold her thigh, thanking god that his princess was safe.
Robert couldn't believe as he heard the man on the phone inform him that his mother was involved in an accident, he soon ran toward his dad, praying that the news wasn't true, that his mom was fine at home or with Callie somewhere, but no, she was with Callie because today, as every Friday they would go somewhere; so he ran toward the hospital as fast as he could followed by his father.
As he reached it he soon went looking for his mom and Callie, but Christine was in surgery and nobody knew were the girl was, so he looked for her, only finding her in the emergency room.
"I'm sorry sir, I'm officer Foster, may I ask what her relationship with the victims are?" Stef said.
"Yes officer, this is my daughter Callie, she was with my mother when the accident happened, now she's still in surgery," he said as he stood up, Callie still in his arms, like when she was younger and afraid of thunders.
"Well, I hope your mother will get better then sir, this is my card, if Callie or your mother remember something, please call me," Stef said as she gave him her card, then left to go talk to other victims, but was stopped by Robert.
"Wait officer, can I ask, if the person who did this was caught?" he asked unsure.
"We don't usually release this kind of information, but yes, he was caught as he was injure in the accident," Stef said as she turned again.
Robert took a while to calm Callie as she was scared and shocked, but as Robert calmed her, they made their way to the waiting room in front of the OR, where the rest of the family was waiting for any news of Christine. As they entered, Jill and Sophia immediately ran toward Callie, to hug her thigh; Callie started crying again on her mother shoulder as they took their seats next to Max, who also tried to comfort the crying child.
"I'm so sorry gramps, I think it was my fault that nana is there," Callie said in a whisper as she kept sobbing.
"Stop crying my princess and listen carefully to gramps, it was not your fault, do you hear me?" Max said looking at Callie in the eyes. "It was an accident, caused by indecent people who are going to pay, that I can promise you" he explained as he took in thumbs to wipe her tears.
"Besides, your nana is a fighter, I'm sure she's going to be just fine and in time to bring you girls to the next season of runaways," he finished smiling down to her.
They waited for hours before a doctor came out to informed them about Christine's condition who fortunately after the bad impact had survive, but with a lot of damages that needed a lot of care.
