Chapter 12
Veronica sat with Brittney who was trying to stay calm after the fright of her life. Brittney sat on the sofa trying to fight off tears. Veronica sat with her.
" You're safe now," Veronica told her," Nobody will hurt you."
Brittney shook her head and tried to relax.
" The look in the man's eyes," Brittney said," I will never forget it."
Meanwhile, Michael had come home and saw the look on Sara's face.
" What is it?" Michael asked," Where's Brittney?"
" She's with Veronica," Sara said," I don't know all the details."
" I'll go get her," Michael said," Then we can sort all of this out."
In that time, Brittney had fallen asleep on the sofa. Veronica had called Lincoln and told him that Brittney was there. Veronica looked at Brittney sleeping.
" No need to worry," Veronica said.
Veronica then heard a knock on the door and looked out to see Michael.
" Hey," Veronica said," She's in there."
Michael went to the living room to find Brittney sleeping.
" Thank goodness," Michael said," She's safe."
" Michael," Veronica said," Brittney said someone tried to grab her, but she managed to get away."
" Did she say anything?" Michael asked.
" Only that she would never forget the look in the man's eyes," Veronica said," I let Lincoln know. He's going to meet you at your house."
" I have to get Brittney home," Michael told her.
Brittney stirred and looked up.
" Dad," Brittney said.
" It's okay," Michael told her.
Brittney just hugged him and began crying.
" I'm sorry," Brittney said," I won't run away again. I was so scared."
Michael looked at her.
" There's no reason for you to," Michael told her," Come on. Let's go home."
Brittney shook her head. Veronica went with them and Brittney was home again. Sara looked at her daughter and hugged her.
" Don't do that again," Sara told her.
" I'm sorry mom," Brittney said," Punish me if you have to. I don't want to know anymore."
Brittney then sat down.
" What should we do?" Sara asked Michael.
Michael shook his head.
" She needs to make a statement," Michael told her," Who ever this person was needs to get off the streets. The sooner the better."
Sara had to agree, as much as she didn't like it.
