Things happened in a blur. One moment she was playing the piano, then these men were coming after Jen and Eric. It was almost like her ears turned off, she heard nothing, but saw their screaming faces. Jennifer was crying, trying to pry away. Eric was angry and rough, Maddie had never seen him so violent. He cried out Jen's name, that she could hear. "Jen, what have we done? Why did I let you do this?" He kept calling. Jennifer's eyes were stuck on Maddie, calling out her name repeatedly. Maddie thought she was going to have a panic attack. What was going on? Why were they taking them away? Then, something clicked when one man said, "You are under arrest for the kidnapping of Madeline Grey."

"So it's true? I knew it! You took me from my family? You lied to me?!" Maddie's vision turned red. She was so angry. She could softly hear Jen calling out desperate apologies, but she didn't care. "You ruined my life? They wanted me! And you just took me away! You lied to me! Why?" Tears were streaming down her face, she was crying so hard. She couldn't breathe, she was so worked up. Then everything blacked out.

She woke with a start. Her eyes flashed open, but the room was spinning. So she kept her eyes closed. Oh, it was just a dream. A soft, reassuring voice came from her side. "Miss Grey, are you feeling okay?"

She opened her eyes again. Okay, maybe it wasn't a dream. She pushed the nausea down and put on a smiling face. "I'm fine!" Her face reddened from embarrassment. She stood up, but it was too quickly, so her legs gave out.

The man caught her and sat her back down on the couch. "Woah, not too fast, Miss Grey."

"I'm fine really, just a little dizzy." Oh shit. And I forgot to eat today. . . Again.

"My name is Detective Sanford. Miss Grey, do you understand what has happened?" He was trying to be very timid, like talking to a child.

Tears welled up in her eyes. "Jen. She took me from my parents."

"Yes, ma'am. Don't worry, though, we are putting them into custody. You'll be with your real parent soon. It's time to pack up your things." He said.

"Wait! What about my job at the school?' She didn't know what she was going to tell Nick. Oh, by the way, I was kidnapped as a child, and Jen and Eric aren't my real parents, so I'm leaving.

"We already contacted the headmaster, he is actually on his way. Go and gather your things, and then we'll get you home." Sanford gave her a sweet smile.

Maddie turned and went into her room. She gathered her clothes without thinking, in some sort of daze. She thought about her little house here in Zambia. She remembered Jen telling her that they would've been there for a long time. They didn't even make it a year. She had lied to me, that evil woman. Deep down, when she said evil woman, it left a bad taste in her mouth. The Jen I first knew wasn't evil. There was a whole other, dark side to Jennifer that she had kept from Maddie, maybe even Eric. Maddie just wanted to know why. Why in the world would she take her? How much did her real father owe Jen? The thought made her sick. She stuffed as much clothes into her suitcase as she could, but decided the rest could stay here with Nick, if he wanted to give it to some of the needy kids. She also left her winter clothes for some of the kids as well. She left it in a box for him. Then she made herself a back pack (this was a must when travelling, and she had her fair share of knowledge when it came to travelling too) with two outfits to wear, tooth brush, her laptop, and other essentials. Her hands were shaking. She went to her drawer and pulled out her photos. He kissed a picture of Pierre, and put it in the folder with her old school stuff. Then she pulled out the printed picture of her parents. My parents! Oh my God. She was going to see them again. She almost broke down again out of pure happiness. Home. There was a small knock on the door, and in the doorway stood Nick. "Oh, Nick!" She cried and ran to him.

"Maddie, I'm so sorry." He held her for a second. "Can you tell me what's going on?" He asked. He didn't understand what was going on. Maddie sat him down and told him her life story, summarizing it really, just getting to the point: Jen and Eric took her. She felt like a fifty pound weight was lifted off her chest. She could breathe. Never again would she hide her true identity in the dark. She was Madeline Grey, and will be for the rest of her life. Until you get married, her conscious chimed in. Good point, she replied to it. When she was done, she smiled. Nick looked at her like she was a poor creature.

"Oh, Maddie, I'm so sorry." He hugged her again. She nodded and gave him the clothes she was living behind. She walked him out the door. Telling him goodbye, and to tell his wife by as well.

"And I will visit as soon as I can." She added. She would miss those kids. But right now, she wanted to go see her parents.

"Miss Grey, are you ready?" detective Sanford asked.

Maddie smiled and nodded. She was the last one out of the house, and she closed the door slowly, shutting the door of her life with Jen and Eric. She walked to the van next to Sanford. "Sanford, how did you guys find me?"

"Well your aunt and uncle, Kate and Elliot Grey had your letter and gave it to your parents. We've been looking for you for a long time, ma'am."

Kate and Elliot. We ARE related! I knew it! She had a small buzz flow through her. They had been looking for her. Her parents loved her. She smiled at the thought. "So what's next?"

"We are going to fly to Berlin to meet your parents, and from there we will get you home as soon as possible."

Meet my parents. Oh my. She couldn't wait! They reached the airport, and she realized that it was eleven o' clock at night. As an experienced flyer, she fell asleep right away. And when she opened her lids again, the air hostess was telling them they were flying over Germany. She couldn't control her excitement. She slept peacefully, knowing that she was closer to home after every mile. And these first class seats helped! Sanford said that Mr. Grey updated the seats to first class for them. Oh yeah, Daddy is loaded. She had a feeling that it wouldn't matter. Not after living in poverty for almost a year. Just as long as she was loved and fed. The 'fasten your seat belts' light flashed on and a huge grin spread across her face. They were close to landing. She looked out the window and watched the ground from above. She was actually excited to see Germany again. It was a beautiful country, full of history, though she hated learning about the Holocaust, it brought nightmares. But nothing could dampen her mood, she was going to see her parents. Finally, the wheels landed on the ground. She walked through the tunnel and then she heard the overwhelming sounds of people in the airport. She handed her passport to get checked. The lady's eyebrow raised. "Oh, sind Sie ein Brundesbürger? Willkommenes haus." Oh, you're a German citizen? Welcome Home.

Maddie nodded. "Danke sehr." (Thank you) This was my home, but not anymore. My home is where my parents are, she thought.

She looked around at the familiar airport. A smile was glued to her face, nothing could make it go away. Sanford came to her side and tapped her shoulder.

"Mr. and Mrs. Grey are waiting for you."

Maddie turned around slowly and saw two people standing there: her parents.
