I was beginning to panic now that the press conference is less than an hour away. I hadn't seen much of Sam either, I guessed that she was just preparing for it but it still made me feel on edge.

What would people say? What would Sam say? How much of the story would she say?

Jack sent Milton and Jerry to hunt for some snacks. However I had a feeling he had an ulterior motive for asking them to leave. He had been quiet since I had told them that I didn't want it. I didn't want the responsibility of looking after it because I don't feel old enough to consider being a mum let alone being responsible enough for a baby, not yet.

Jack didn't say a word. He just stood at the window.

"I don't get it Kim. I don't understand yesterday you wanted this baby and now you're saying the opposite." He said.

I shook my head "it's not that" I gripped the bed sheets tight. "I'm too young for this!"

Jack raised one eyebrow "wasn't your mum about the same age?"

I didn't reply.

"I think I know what this is about and it has hardly anything to do with the baby: it's about your mum"

A tear rolled down my cheek. "I'm scared Jack. I don't want to make the same mistakes that she did that's all"

Jack smiled and hugged me. "I won't let you make those mistakes we're in this together"

I pointed the television that I had on mute. Sam had flashed up on screen as the press conference began. "It's beginning"

Jack grabbed the remote and unmuted it.

"I am DS Samantha Nixon of the Seaford Police Department. As I am sure most of you are aware we raided the Seaford docks a week ago. While there we discovered a young girl who was truly distressed and covered in blood, scratches and bruises. She was cold and had knife wounds up and down her body. She had been bound and kept prisoner for a time that we cannot determine. The extend of her injuries have not been discovered yet and there is some cause for concern that she is terrified that the man who is responsible for this will come and find her and hurt her again.

Suddenly there was a huge uproar as all the journalists began talking all at once, shouting out questions and statements.

Sam raised a hand, immediately the journalists all shut up. "Now you have all been given a handout with a photograph of the man we are looking for in connection to this incident. I am asking all of you to help us find him."

"Is he a suspect?" A journalist asked.

"At the minute he is just a witness who might have vital information so if you know anything or know anyone who knows anything I urge you to get in touch using the number behind me. Any piece of information either big or small or anything of any relevance you must get in touch. Any piece of information will be of great help to this investigation" Sam replied.

"And the girl who is she?"

Sam shook her head "She is a terrified thirteen year old girl who just wants her life back and until we catch the man responsible she cannot do that"

"DS Nixon I know who that girl is" A journalist said.

Suddenly what looked like a herd of police officers dashed towards the journalist and knocked him to the ground.

"She is Kim Crawford and she tells lies" he screeched

The screen went black.

Jack

I hugged Kim tight, almost in a lock.

Kim burst into tears "I knew it I knew it" she began punching at me. "Why can't they just leave me alone?" She pushed me away.

Jerry and Milton came back with their hands full of bags of crisps and cakes.

"She said that it was going to be okay and now it's not my life is never gonna be the same again! Why did I agree to it?" Kim grabbed a pot plant and chucked it at the wall where Jerry and Milton stood, they ducked just in time to get showered in soil.

Everything and anything that Kim could grab from her bed was thrown against the wall pillows, remotes, water etc.

I grabbed Milton and Jerry ushered them from the room. I closed the door behind us. "Don't ask questions…I just need you get Sam up here now and Saraiya Kim is having a breakdown and I don't know how to make it stop!"

There was a huge crash and a bang that made all of us jump and flinch.

I went back into the room where Kim had knocked over a vase and some flowers onto the floor. The bed wasn't made anymore Kim had threw the covers and pillows all over the room.

Suddenly Kim was on the floor clutching her side. Her hand was red.

"Oh shit Kim!" I literally flew by her side, lay her down on the floor and put pressure on the wound that looked like it would never stop.

Saraiya appeared by my side "how did this happen?"

"I left her alone for two seconds I was just outside with Milton and Jerry, Kim was throwing everything about the room I asked them to come and get you so you could help me calm her down she was loosing it after the press conference."

She nodded. "Jack I need to move her back onto the bed and call for the doctor to fix this okay?"

"He did this" Kim said suddenly

I nodded. "We can blame the idiot bastard journalist that identified her as a victim on live television"

I stayed by Kim's side as the doctor as he cleaned Kim's side up. As he worked Jerry and Milton set about tidying the room.

The door flew open and Kim's paled.

"What do you want?" Kim snorted

"Yeah because that's a nice way to greet your own mother" the woman said.
