It wasn't long after I sent Regan the help text she called my phone. I was never so happy to answer the call because I knew that help was on the way at last.

"Hello? Regan? Are you here?" I asked her frantically.

"Relax Kid I'm here! I got your text. Everything good?" She asked me.

You would think that after she got the message that she would be in a panic but in reality she wasn't. How can Regan be so calm at a time like this? I'm ready to piss myself after seeing the scum of the earth and she just so......"eh!" about it?

  "Yes crazy sexy cool everything is fine. Oh wait THERE'S A PSYCHO WALKING AROUND WITH A GUN LOOKING FOR ME! What's with you? I thought you would be more worried and your not! If my dad finds out-"

  "Carlyn! Will you relax? I don't see Dwayne anywhere anyway so chill out. Now listen very carefully without saying anything show me where you are."

I let out a sigh and looked out the glass window and waved. I saw Regan wave back to be from the other side of the station by a Dunkin' Donuts kiosks. The relief of knowing that I was safe at last made my heart rate slow down and my mind stop scrambling.

  "Good! Now without drawing any attention to yourself just get up and walk out. Make sure you don't show your face. If you have to keep your head down."

I did like she asked and tied my hood down to my head to avoid it from slipping off. As I was making my way out the door she continued to give me further instructions.

  "Now meet me over here but just walk normally."

I made it out of the McDonald and I was just a mere three feet of getting to Regan when I felt someone grab my arm.

  "Well hello beautiful." I heard a sickening voice say from behind me.

I quickly turned and saw the face of the devil staring back at me. I could hear Regan yelling for me to try to get away as she was seen pushing through the crowd to get to me.

  "Hold on Carly! I'm coming just hold on!" She said in a panic.

  "Hang up. Your mother and I have been looking for you. If know what's good for you.....you'd be a good little girl and do like I said. Now tell your friend you have to go."

Dwayne pulled up his shirt showing me the gun in his waistband and I slowly dropped my phone to the floor. Now it seems like a dumb move but I kept the call going so that Regan can find my phone from the sound of it bouncing back the sounds around it. I didn't struggle I just went with Dwayne out of the station to a blue Toyota sitting outside at the steps. A woman was inside. That woman was my mom's crazy ass twin sister Melissa. When we got to the bottom I could hear Regan calling me.

  "Carlyn! Carlyn where are you!?!?!?" She shouted as she made it to the top of the steps.

I turned to see her and tried to make a run for it but Dwayne was much faster than me.

  "Don't even try it. Get it. Now!" He said angrily.

  "Regan! Help! Please!" I shouted back as Dwayne shoved me in the back seat.

Dwayne slammed the door on me so that I couldn't try to get back out and as Regan got down to the bottom of the steps and towards the car Dwayne pulled out his gun. My instant reaction was a loud scream.

  "NO! DONT!"

Regan stopped just short of the barrel an threw her hands up. I rolled down the window to hear what they were saying but Melissa rolled it back up and locked the windows from the front seat.

  "You don't need to worry about that. She's not your mother anyway." She said in a dark tone followed by a laugh.

I turned back to the window and watched as Dwayne rounded the car to the passenger side while he was still pointing his gun at Regan. Once he felt comfortable enough to make his getaway he opened the door and quickly got in the car. He didn't get in the front seat he got in the back seat right next to me. Great. The car sped away and Regan could be seen watching me from the back windshield. I turned back to find myself being driven away from my life. My family. All because I wanted to help Regan catch the very same people who I wanted to help Regan catch. The car ride was silent. No one spoke and the only thing that could be heard was the tires occasionally hitting a bump along the drive. I was tired of just sitting here in terror. I felt like I wanted answers and I was going to get them one way or another.

  "Is it true?" I asked in a harsh tone.

  "Shut up girl!" Dwayne snapped.

  "Dwayne. Calm down. My baby has a question. Is what true sweetheart." Melissa asked.

  "That you found a way to overturn my adoption. Is it true?" I hissed.

  "Little girl check ya tone now."Dwayne snapped again.

  "It's ok! It's alright! Yes baby it's true. I was able to get a court hearing to bring you home. That man is just using you as a publicity stunt. He's not really a father."

  "You don't know anything about him!"

  "No you don't know anything about him! That man has been a woman abuser all his life. He doesn't deserve children! You are my child!"

  "Correction I'm your sister's child! You stole me from her and this jackass next to me ran her off the road to her death!"

Just then dwayne slammed me hard against the door and held the gun to my cheek.

  "Listen little bitch. I'm not gonna tell you again. You will respect your mama.....and me." He roared in my ear as his hot dragon breath hit my ear drum.

Then his icky hand slid up my leg and made an attempt to unbutton my jeans but I brought that to a haunt by digging my finger nails into his hand causing him to pull away and push the gun closer to my face.

  "You keep on little girl. You keep on." He said to me before lowering his gun and smiling at me.

After spending twenty minutes in the car we finally pulled up to what looked like to be an abandoned house.

  "We're home!" Melissa said as she pulled the car in the driveway.

Once the car stopped and the keys came out of the ignition I opened the door and Dwayne stuck the gun in my back and forced me out of the car. He twisted my arm behind my back and shoved me inside the house and closed the door behind us. Melissa placed a chair in the center of the room and he sat me down.

  "Tie her up Missy." He said to her.

  "But Dwayne she's home now-"

  "I don't give a shit! Tie her slick ass up!" Dwayne shouted at her.

Melissa did what he said and tied me up tightly to the chair.

  "Ow! Watch it lady!" I yelled as she bound my wrists.

  "What did I tell you?!?! "

  "I ain't gotta listen to you bitch!" I snapped at him.

It only took a second for him to lift the gun to my face. Me and my big mouth.
