I don't own Austin and ally or anything you recognize.

Third Person POV

"NO! DADDY!", Ella screamed when Austin's eyes closed.

"SHUT UP!", Samantha yelled.

"NO! You're a monster! You hurt my Daddy! I don't want him to die!", Ella shouted.

"That's it! Come on, you're coming with me brat!", Samantha said angrily.

"You're not going anywhere with my niece!", Dez said dangerously.

"What makes you so sure?", Samantha challenged.

"Because I won't let you! You just tried to kill my best friend! I am not going to let you take Ella away from us forever!", Dez said furiously and started fighting her for the gun. Maddie took that as her chance as she ran to go get Ella to safety. Trish was busy applying pressure to Austin's shoulder where he was shot.

"Ella, come on", Maddie whispered hurriedly to the hysterical child. Ella nodded and was carried to a side classroom before Samantha could notice she was gone. It was so sad how she was crying and reaching for Austin the entire time.

"Elliot, help me!", Samantha yelled struggling to get the gun from Dez's firm grasp.

"Fine", Elliot mumbled.

"Elliot! What are you doing!?", Trish asked from where she was on the ground with Austin, tears streaming down her face.

"Helping. Now like I said earlier, stay out of this", Elliot replied.

"Elliot, get the gun! He's too strong, and he's going to hurt me!", Samantha whined.

"Fine with me", Elliot said quickly grabbing the gun and pulled Dez to the side as he pointed the gun towards Samantha.

"ELLIOT! What are you doing!? Shoot him!", Samantha yelled.

"Sorry Sam. I already told you we were through. You've caused the people I love too much pain", he said.

"FREEZE! Everybody put your hands in the air and drop your weapons!", the police said finally showing up.

"Samantha Freeman, you are under arrest for assault, child abuse, child labor, and kidnapping of Patricia De La Rosa and Ella Christine Dawson. You are also being charged with attempted murder of everyone in this room who will also be considered as witnesses. Mr. Moon may be moved under a murder charge if he doesn't make it. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford one, one will be provided for you. (1)", a cop said handcuffing her.

"Whatever, but it should be known that Ella is my child", Samantha said.

"As if", Elliot scoffed. "She's way better off without us. Ally's a way better mother than you'll ever be", Elliot said as they were placing handcuffs on his wrist as well. He was a little more willing to be brought to justice than Samantha was.

As all this was happening, Dez ran over to Trish, hugging her tightly as the paramedics arrived and took Austin. Trish automatically hugged him back, feeling safe for the first time that day.

"Dez, where's Ella and Maddie!?", Trish asked beginning to panic again.

"Where's Tina!?", Dez asked just as panicked.

"Tina Freeman was just taken down to the station, and we believe Maddie Carter may've taken Ella Dawson to a classroom until they knew its safe. I doubt either girl will come out to our voices, so you two may want to look so they'll recognize the voices and know it is in fact safe", a cop informed them.

"Maddie! Ella! It's Dez and Trish! You guys can come on out, it's safe!", Dez yelled through the halls.

"Guys?", Maddie said quietly. They turned around to see her walking out of a classroom, holding Ella tightly in her arms.

"Come on out guys. Everything's fine. The cops got the bad guys", Trish said knowing they were both scared to death. Who wouldn't be when a traumatizing event like that had just occurred right before their very eyes.

Maddie ran out and hugged them both tightly along with Ella. "Thank-you so much", Maddie cried.

"For what?", Dez asked.

"Seriously? Dez, you jumped in front of that gun that was pointed at me. Then you started fighting her for it so Ella and I could run for safety. You saved my life", Maddie cried.

"I would've done that for you any day, and you saved Ella by taking her away. Who knows what could've happened if you didn't do that", Dez said.

"Uncle Dez, is Daddy okay?", Ella asked quietly with tears still falling from her eyes.

"The doctors are doing all they can for him at the hospital baby", Dez said.

"Do I still have to call the mean lady Mom?", Ella asked sadly.

"No Ella. You don't have to call the mean lady Mom", Trish said.

"Good, 'cause that was horrible. I just want my Mommy; my real Mommy", Ella said.

"I do too. I still have to thank her for what she did for me. For what you all did for me. Thanks so much", Maddie said.

"Well, we wanted to say sorry for acting like complete stalkers. We had been looking for you for over five months", Trish said honestly.

"Don't be sorry. I'm glad you guys got my hints", Maddie said.

"Those were hints? We thought you just accidently kept slipping up", Trish said.

"I don't just 'slip up' about that kind of stuff. I wanted to get out of there more than anything. I couldn't just come right out and say it, so I did what I could to get my point across. But I really do love Ella. I promise that I wasn't just using you guys", Maddie said.

"Maddie, you were doing what you had to for your own safety. You didn't use us", Dez assured her.

"Can we please go see Mommy now?", Ella asked.

"Yeah, we all have to go to the hospital to get ourselves checked out anyway", Trish said as they all climbed into an ambulance and were driven away to the hospital. They were all just hoping for Austin to make it out of this alive.
