Leah and Katie were leaving the looker room when a sight caught there eyes and stopped them in there trackers. A little girl was crying and screaming in a security guards arms, desperately fighting to get down.
"Hey, what's going on here?" Katie demanded as she ran over with Leah right beside her
"She's a lost kid, we are trying to get her to the police station" the taller security guard said
"She looks terrified" Leah stated
"Put her down now" Katie demanded as they looked hesitant
"She's going to run off again. We are just trying to get this over with fast" the shorter one said still holding on to you as you continued to fight in his arms. Both women continued to stare him down
"Okay" he said gently placing you on the ground and just like he said, you took off as fast as your little legs could carry you. Leah and Katie followed you at a slightly distance in hopes of not freighting you more. They ended up following you into the media room where you ran under a table
"Hey sweetheart, what's your name?" Katie asked kneeling down next to the table as you just looked at her with tearful eyes
"I'm Katie and this is Leah" Katie said pointing at Leah who waved. Both sharing a look when you didn't come out
"Do you know where your mommy and daddy are?" Leah asked hopeful but you just continue to look between them
"We may be here a hot minute" Leah said taking a seat on the floor and Katie following suit
"What are you guys doing in here?" Caitlin asked as she and Kyra entered into the room
"Is that a kid?" Kyra asked loudly walking up with Caitlin who looked confused, you whimpering and sliding further back under the table. Caitlin gently grabbing Kyra to stop her. "Why don't you go find some juice and snack for her?" Kyra nodded before heading off
"Who's the kid?" Caitlin asked taking a seat on the floor next to Leah and Katie
"Don't know, security found her" Leah said, both women watching as Katie continued to try and coax you out from under the table
"Kyra sent us with a juice box and crackers " Beth said as she and Viv showed up, "steph is taking Kyra home" Viv said causing Caitlin to nod at the info
"There really is a little girl here" Viv said shocked as Beth handed the food to Katie
"Want some?" Katie asked holding the juice box and cracker out to you. The girls smiling softly when they watched you wipe your tears before nodding and coming out from under the table but still keeping a distance
Katie opened the crackers and held them out to you, which you took happily
"These are my favorite, you know" Katie said and smiled fondly as she watched you hold out a cracker to her "thank you darling" taking it and watching as you continued to happily munch on the rest of the crackers
"Here" Katie said slowly moving over next to you to hand you the juice box, which you took as you looked at the other people in the room with curiosity
"That's Caitlin" Katie said causing Caitlin to give a small wave which you shyly returned "and Viv and Beth" Katie said pointing to the other two women who both said hi
"They are my friends" Katie said causing you to nod as you let out a yawn and rubbed your eyes
"Tired?" Katie asked and getting a nod in reply
"Here" Caitlin said hanging her sweatshirt over to Katie to put on you, seeing as you were only in a short sleeve and jeans in winter
"All warm and cozy now?" Katie once she got the jack on you, you only nodding before holding your hands up to her
"You want me to pick you up?" Katie asked making sure she understood what you wanted. Once you nodded, Katie quickly picked you and gently placing you on her hip. All the girls smiling softly as you wrapped your arms around her neck and rested you head on her shoulder
"She asleep?" Katie whispered and Caitlin nodded
"Poor thing must be exhausted" Beth said
"She can't be more then 3" Viv said taking a closer look at you
"Let's get her to the police station to figure who she is" Leah said "I'll drive. I'll go get my car and pull it around front"
"Keep us updated on the cutie" Beth said as her Viv left
Caitlin watched with a fond smile as Katie gently rubbed you back to keep you a sleep
"If she is an orphan, we are taking her home aren't we?" Caitlin asked with a smile as Katie nodded before placing a chaste kiss to her lip
