Getting into Trouble [Thomas, Katrina, Haylen]

I was outside the school building in the parking lot, waiting to be picked up. Since mom, dad and mommy's parents were busy today, uncle Thomas said he would pick me up from school. Erin and Colleen were already home, they had two classes less than I had and uncle Thomas was running a little late.

As I was waiting in the parking lot waiting for him I noticed a man slowly walking up to me. I didn't recognize him, but he didn't look much trustworthy either. I looked around for someone who was nearby or for uncle Tom's car, while I kept an eye on the man who was walking up to me.
"He, Lily..." the man said, as he was close enough. I looked at him, saying nothing. He was one of the men my father Peter had business with. "Cat got your tongue, kid?"
"No. But I ain't talkin' to criminals." I said firmly. The man glared, then grabbed me and that was when I tried to scream.

Thomas was on his way to Lily's school, his time at the lab ran over and he was now in a hurry to get her, knowing it was not safe for her to be out alone at this time, as he drove, Thomas did not know of the man that was trying to hurt Lily

"Lemme go!" I screamed, trying to get someone's attention, but somehow it was in vain. I struggled with the man, but he was quite strong. "What the heck do you want?"
"Pete."
"He's in jail!" I replied, trying to get away.

Thomas soon pulled up to Lily's school and saw her struggling with a man, he stopped, then got out and ran over, "LET HER GO!" he yelled

I was walking by the school, not knowing dad was picking up Lily, I thought it would be nice to walk her home today. I seen her, the man and dad, so I walked over to them and growl seeing the man with Lily in his hands.

The man glared at Thomas, but then let go of me and ran.
I just shook my head.

Thomas called it in, then checked on Lily

I looked at uncle Thomas, still shaking my head. I was little shaken, but wasn't let that show.
"He's not worth it." I said quietly, then looked at Katrina as well.

I walked over to them. "what just hapened?"

"That guy's not up to date as to what happened to his business partner Pete." I replied as if it was nothing.

"Huh?" I ask not sure what she was talking about.

Thomas nodded, then helped Lily up off the ground

"Thank you." I said to uncle Thomas, then looked at Katrina. "Pete's my biological father, Peter. and obviously he pissed that guy off."

I looked a bit shocked. "Oh."

"And obviously he didn't know that Peter's in jail, which is why I was adopted." I replied then looked at uncle Thomas.

I nodded and hugged her.

Thomas nodded, "Your welcome" he mouthed to Lily

I smiled a bit at uncle Thomas, while I returned the hug.
"I am better where I am now." I said in truth. "Can we go, please?"

I look at Thomas.

Thomas nodded, "Yes, we can" he replied

I smiled a little at uncle Thomas.

little did I know what was going to happen just a few days later.

Thomas took Lily home


a week later.....

A week later I met Katrina in front of the school, since she wanted to walk me home.
We rounded the corner, only a block away from my home, when suddenly the same guy stepped out of the shaddows, gun in hand, aimed at us.
"This time I'm not gonna run, brat." he said to me. I froze in my tracks, staring at him.

"Your coming with me....princess" the man taunted Lily

"I'm not going anywhere with you!" Lily shot back with an angry look on her face.
