Kitty and the others were happy again. Sure, they all missed Tracy but, care kids were tough. They could get through almost anything.

They were all sitting in the living room with the newest girl, Faith. They all liked her, but she was a bit…tensed up.

"Okay, so." Liam said as Faith left the room. "Let's play this game. We all have to tell people about our past when we get chosen. I'll start."

Everyone sat in a circle and Liam thought.

"Hmm…Elektra."

"Okay…basically, my parents and my sister, Melissa, thought I was a 'bad girl' which I suppose I was, because I kept getting in jail and stuff, they got mad so they dumped me in care, and loads of care homes just chucked me out, unlike here." Elektra said.

"Okay, Elektra, now you choose."

"Um…Kitty." She said.

Kitty sighed. "It's a long story…you guys sure you won't get bored?"

"No, we won't!" they all said.

"Okay…I was put in care because after my mum died, my dad started drinking and doing drugs. It was fine at first, but then he started beating me. Usually he just used his hands, or he just locked me away with no food and just some water, but soon after that he started using any objects he could find around the house. That's why I used to be weird about anybody touching me. But when I went to that special care place, my dad came and started trying to get me back. I said I didn't want to, and he tried to hit me. But I hit him with a chair, like Liam did to that prisoner guy, and suddenly I didn't care about people touching me any more, because if they were trying to hurt me, at least I could stick up for myself." She said. "And that was with short words, just so you guys know. The full story would have bored you all."

"Wow. Kitty, I'm so sorry." Carmen said.

"Yeah, we had no idea…" Liam said.

Kitty shrugged. "It's fine. So, Liam, why are you here?"

And so the game went on. Eventually, everybody except Faith had told their story and so everyone decided to watch TV, except Johnny and Carmen, who were going on another date, and Rick, Liam and Frank decided to play pool instead.

"Did you hear? That prisoner from last week gave himself up." Tyler said suddenly.

"Really?" Lily said, surprised.

"Yep, it was on the radio the other day." Kitty said.

"Why would he do that?" Rick asked.

"Maybe he felt guilty." Faith said. She'd heard all about that incident.

"Maybe." Liam said. "Or maybe he just felt like he needed to be in a prison cell."

"What do you suppose he did to get himself into jail?" Kitty asked.

But before anybody could say anything, Mike and a man appeared in the doorway.

Kitty looked up and her eyes widened. She began to shake all over as she jumped up, staring at the man in the doorway.

"Hello love." The man said calmly.

The others stared between the man and Kitty. Suddenly, it clicked…the color hair, and the shape of the eyes…that must mean…

"Dad?!" Kitty said.
