Tyne's P.O.V.

Marcus took me out to his car and we headed off to the court house. We arrived and Rohan was out the front waiting for us. "did you tell him?" Marcus asked. "yes. He said he'd see how it goes but it would be taken into account." Rohan said. Marcus nodded and took me inside. I looked around to see father, mother, Reuben, Shad, Rachel, Fletch, Zack, Calley, Chugg Patrol, Brewster, Cormac and all the kids there. I didn't understand why Fletch was here. Maybe it was just so he could see the outcome. Kyron came over with mother and looked at Marcus. "have you any idea how this will end?" father asked. "no sorry." Marcus sighed. "Tyne!" I heard and mum ran over. I ran into her arms sobbing. "my poor baby. Don't worry. Kai's here and he'll sort it." She said holding me tightly. "court will start in five minutes!" Rohan called out. Marcus took me over to the doors and I waited. I looked over at Fletch who was talking to Zack. We have to accept whatever happens." Zack said. "that bastard isn't gettin' Tyne back!" Fletch growled. "he might and if he does, we go kill the lot of them!" Zack said and Fletch smiled. I sighed and pulled out my diary.

Today I was found at mother's house. The guy who found me turned out to be an old friend. He said I had to go to court today as my dad was wanting me back. I can't believe he'd go as far a court to get me back with him. So here I am, standing outside the court room waiting. Fletch is here and I have no idea why. He said he didn't want me anymore so why would he be here? Maybe he just wants to see the outcome of this. I don't know. I never did know anyway so this just adds to the confusion. I feel sorry for the kids though. Being here while I'm facing the possible outcome of been given back to my dad. I wish I could stop all this madness somehow…but I can't. I'll write later. I have to go into court now. I don't want to go back!

I put my diary back in my pocket and Rohan opened the doors and everyone went in. Marcus then took me in and we sat at the front. Then my dad walked in smirking. "what's he smirking about? He hasn't won yet." Marcus hissed. "knowing my dad, he'll have this all worked out." I said. Rohan walked in and shut the doors. "all rise for the honourable Judge James Kobayashi." Rohan said and everyone stood up. He walked in and over to his seat. We than all sat and he looked up at my father. "Mr. Escamilla this is your eighth attempt to claim Miss. Escamilla back. What makes you think differently now?" Judge Kobayashi asked. "Your honour. I have waited for her for years. I have my reasons for this." Dad said. "well according to our files, she's been adopted by Kyron Tuzzolino. Is he here?" he asked. "yes your honour." He said standing up. "you adopted Talikulah did you not?" he asked. "yes I did." Father said. "do you have her adoption papers to back that up?" he asked and my dad smiled. "no sir. They were destroyed in a fire." Father said sadly. "but the fire was started by Kaikarah!" mother added. Judge Kobayashi looked at dad. "there's no proof I started that fire." He said and father and mother looked at each other and mother glared at him. "I saw you there!" she said and Kyron held her close as she sobbed softly. "then it's my choice what happens to her." He said. We all waited and James thought for a bit going through some papers. "I'm afraid I can't give her to you." he said. "why not?!" my dad growled. "a murderous father doesn't deserve her." He said. "alright. You asked for it!" Dad said and his men cam in with rifles and machine guns aiming them at everyone in the room. "hand over my daughter or I kill everyone in the room who could stop me." he said. "do as he says!" James ordered. I gasped and looked at Marcus who was glaring at my dad. Some officers headed over to me and I backed up. "no one is givin' me to my dad!" I growled. "Tali, you're forgetting I control you." he said. "no you don't. I removed the chip!" I said. Dad gasped and glared at me. "GET HER TO ME NOW!" he ordered and I ran out of the room with his men following me. "you bastard!" I heard Marcus yell before running after me. I lost my dad's men but Marcus found me. "Tyne! Hold it!" He said and I stopped. "I can't go back." I sobbed. "I shouldn't do this, but I'll hide you from everyone." He said hugging me. "really?" I asked. "really. I'll make sure your dad doesn't get you." he said. "so will you come home?" I nodded slowly and he led me off to his car and then we headed off to his house where I would stay.

We drove for fifteen minutes till we got to a nice looking house. We got out and he unlocked the house walking in. "wow. Nice place." I said looking around. "yeah. I'll show you where you can sleep." He said and led me up the stairs to a room. "you can sleep here. Bathroom is down there." He said and I nodded. He took me downstairs and to the lounge. "this is the lounge. The wood for the fire is in the cupboard. There are heaters in each bedroom as well as a fireplace." He said and I nodded. "sounds great." I said. "and the kitchen is through here." He said and led me to the kitchen. "I really appreciate you letting me stay here." I said. "no problems. But remember, don't let anyone in the house if I'm not here." He said and I nodded. I won't." I said and he smiled. "now, I'll try and get to the house during my breaks or when I'm out patrolling the streets to check on you. no one will know you're here so it should be fine, but I'll come and check anyway just to make sure of it." He said and I nodded. "I start work at 8am and finish at 3pm but sometimes I will be called to do a night shift. If that happens, I'll get Rohan to come and stay here with you, if that's alright." He said. "sure." I said and he radioed Rohan. "Rohan. Are you alone?" he asked. "yes boss. What's wrong?" he asked. "I've promised Tyne I'd keep her hidden from everyone. If I get called for a night shift, can you come and take care of her if I do?" he asked. "course boss. But shouldn't we tell her family?" he said. "no. until this all settles down, Tyne is in our care and must be kept hidden." Marcus said. "okay boss. I'll do it." He said. "thanks Rohan." He said and turned his radio off. "there. All sorted." He said and I smiled. "now I have to head back to meet up with Rohan. I'll be home later." He said. "okay. bye and thanks!" I said waving as he walked out. He got in his car and waved before driving off. I was glad he was doing this for me but I did miss my family a lot.

Fletch's P.O.V.

After Tyne had run out, I turned to Zack who was gone. I then heard someone howl. "Get off me you fucking devil!" I heard Kaikarah growl. I turned around and Zack was on top of him. "you idiot!" Zack hissed pulling his axe off his belt. "hold it!" Calley said grabbing Zack's hand. "why?!" he snapped. "take this outside." She said and Zack hit him with his axe knocking him out. Zack dragged him outside to deal with, Reuben and Shad dealt with the rest of his men and I headed off to get Tony. I walked outside and Zack had Kaikarah tied up. "what was Kai doing with you lot?" he growled. "protecting Tyne." Tara said walking over. "I killed you!" he said. "and I got her back to life." Kai said. "Traitor." Kaikarah murmured. "Killer." Kai said. "fucking bloody bastard." Zack hissed and Kyron came out and took Kaikarah away. "Fletch! Wait up!" Zack called running over. "I'll follow ya while you kill Tony." He said and I nodded.

We arrived at his hideout and we made out way in. We snuck around the building and I looked at Zack. "shall we do this one for Tyne?" I asked. "how ya mean?" Zack asked. "blow it up." I said. "ah! Then yes." He said and I smiled. I snuck off to a room and it had some explosives in it. I jumped down and got some. I had watched Tyne do this sort of thing so it wasn't going to be too hard to figure out. I set it to a timer and we backed off. "ready?" I asked. "ready." Zack said. "3. 2. 1." I murmured and the timer finished and triggered the explosives. It went off with a huge blast and I smiled. "now that's something Tyne would love." I said. "that's why I recorded it." Zack said showing me his phone and I smiled looking over to the wreckage. Tony was badly injured as he was walking out when it went off. I smiled walking over to him. "you again!" he growled. "yes me again. By the way, Kavyn is dead and Kaikarah is in our care." I said and he stared at me. "no! it can't be! The plan was flawless!" he groaned. I smiled pulling out my sword and I lifted him up by his shirt. "you die now." I hissed and stabbed him in the chest. His body went limp and I let him fall to the ground. Six other men then ran out of hiding and I drew my other sword. They ran at me and I swung my swords at them cutting two of the guys badly leaving them there to bleed to death. "you're interfering with our plans!" one said as I cut off another guys head. "I don't give a damn! You took my girl away from me!" I snapped and ran him through. I then ran at the other two. I grabbed one and threw him at the last one and then stabbed them both in one go. I pulled my sword out of them and walked over to Zack. "Nice going kiddo." He said and I smiled. "nothing compared to what you'll do to Kaikarah." I said. "me? I thought you would do it. She is yours." He said "yeah I know. but you're her father. You take care of the men that hurt her." I said and he smiled. Little did I know that there was a whole different plan set aside for that and the way we thought it would work, wasn't the way it was going to be.

We got to Kyron's home and Tara was sitting on the seat at the table crying. "what's wrong?" I asked. "we haven't found Tyne." Rohan said. "what about that guy that followed her?" Zack said. "he's not back yet." He said. Just then Marcus ran in. "have you got her?" Kai asked. He shook his head sadly. "Sorry. I lost her." He said. Tara burst into tears again and Kai went over to comfort her. "now what?" I asked looking at Zack. "I'm not sure." He murmured thinking. I looked over at Shad who was crying. "come here." I said and she hugged me tightly. "I want her back here." She sobbed. "I know. so do I." I murmured. Marcus looked outside and then at us. "look, I have to head home. I'll let you know if I see her." He said and went off. Rohan stayed with us until we were settled down.

I own James Kobayashi!
