Set up

"I'm gonna have to leave for a little while, but I'm gonna be straight back as soon as I can ok?" I whisper, stroking the side of her face as she sleeps. "I love you so much" I croak and lean over and peck her lips tenderly. "I'll see you real soon, I promise" I smile at her through pursed lips and quickly compose myself before leaving the room.

"Hey, how's she doing?" Joesph asks as soon as I leave the room. "She's ok, just sleeping"

"Has she woken up yet?"

"Um... a little but..."

"She's awake?" I hear Kelly walking down the hall with Alex. "Umm... "

"I wanna see her" Kelly interups me. "You can't. She's sleeping" I shake my head, not wanting her anywhere near her.

Kelly's POV

"You just said She was awake" I frown confused. "She was... briefly, but the doctor said she'll keep doing that for awhile"

"Did she say anything?" I asks nervously and he shakes his head. "We didn't talk, she was really dazed and then fell asleep"

"Did you say anything about us being here?" I ask trying to sound casual and again he shakes his head. "The doctor said it'd be awhile before she's talking and stuff so she probably wouldn't have known what I was going on about anyway" he shrugs and I sigh slightly to myself in relief. Luckily for us she's not able to talk right now, but she will be soon which means we have to hurry up and get this done as soon as possible.

Michael's POV

I really didn't want Alex and Kelly finding out that Leanne has woken up a little because I know that now their gonna be panicking which the police told me to try and prevent.

"It um... it's getting pretty late, maybe you wanna go home and get some rest now that Leanne will be waking up soon" Alex says in a hinting tone and I nod nervously.

"I guess I could do with some sleep" I mumble. "I'll drive you home" Joesph smiles "We can drive you" Kelly says, cutting me off as I'm about to speak. "We're on our home anyway. We'll drop you off on the way"

"It's ok. I can drive him" Joesph says. "Why don't you stay here with Leanne? I'll be back later" I turn to him and he looks at me confused. "I really don't mine" he says in and unsure tone "it's fine. Alex and Kelly are leaving now anyway. I'll call you later"

"Um... ok" he frowns suspiciously an I walk away with Alex and Kelly. Even though I have to go with Alex and Kelly, I was really hoping that Joesph would have put up more of a debate about me leaving with them or anything to give me an excuse to get out of this somehow.

The three of us are getting into Alex's car and my mind is racing over what to do. Apart of me wants to just make and excuse or just run away, but I know if I do then more people at gonna get hurt and I can't just stand back and do nothing.

"I need you to give me your phone" Kelly says bringing me from my thoughts and I look at her confused. "Why do you need my phone?"

"It's just a precaution. No phones are allowed in the building. You don't want anybody getting any pictures or videos of you do you?" She asks and I shake my head and hand my phone over to her.

"Relax. Your not gonna get caught. That's why we do all these safety measures and give up our phones. You'll get it back when we leave" Alex smiles and I smile back through pursed lips then turn and look out of the window. The police never told me what kind of car would be following us in so I have no idea what I'm looking out for, but I'm really hoping their close by.

"Got a little treat for you" Alex smiles handing me a picture "what is it?" I look at him confused. "Her names Katie. She's just turned 9 last week"
