'I can't believe it's only been four days' You sigh down the phone to Steve. Your head against the wall.

'I know, how're you feeling about tomorrow? It's the hearing isn't it' Steve says back disappointed. He wanted to be there.

'Yeah...yeah it is' You say back as you gulp.

'Hey' Steve says in a chirpier tone. Trying to sound as preppy as he could.

'Mhmm' You say back half in a world of your own thoughts and half paying attention.

'I love you' He says proudly 'Everything will work out.

You nod even-though Steve can't even see you 'I hope so'

'I know so' Steve says back firmly. Without a shadow of a doubt in his voice.

A smile smile spreads to your face. 'Yes Captain, whatever you say Captain' You tease as you purse your lips together to sound as seductive as possible.

You hear Steve take a sharp inhale 'Daisy I...'

Before Steve can finish a loud knock pounds your front door.

'Was that the door?' Steve asks warily.

'Y-yeah? I have no idea who it could be though'

the knock gets louder this time.

'Steve...' you say more worried.

'Ring me straight back. Okay?' He says in a more stern manner.

You hang up the phone and open the door. Am officer standing on your porch.

'Officer Webber?' You say confused.

'Daisy' He turns to face you awkwardly. 'May I come in?'

'Sure. Of course' You open the door more and officer Webber steps inside.

'Can I get you anything to drink?' You ask politely.

'No Thankyou' He says kindly.

'So....how can I help you officer?' You frown slightly.

He takes a deep breathe and looks up at you. 'Your mother. April Underwood'

You go pale and you feel a cold shiver run down your neck. 'What about her?'

'She...she seduces one of our guards, she escaped Daisy' He says as delicate as he can.

'I'm sorry, WHAT?!' You start to pace frantically.

'I need you to come with me...she might try to find you and it's unsafe' He says softly but with a hint of hurry in his voice.

'No. I can't leave. Steve has this big speech and I promised I'd watch' You stutter.

'Miss Longly I understand your thoughts may be a bit rattled right now but I highly advise that...'

'Unless you plan to arrest me I'm not coming with you' You say back bluntly. 'I'm honouring my fiancé. I'm going to watch his speech. I still have your cars, if I have any concerns or speculations I'll call' you announce to officer Webber. Trying to keep composed.

Officer Webber takes a deep breath. 'The trail is tomorrow. Do you know anywhere she could possibly go?'

You shrug. 'I'd start with her apparent husband she went out and got when she left me and my father'

'I'm sorry if that was an insensitive question, but we just want to make sure that...'

'Officer Webber. If you're insinuating that I'm in cahoots with my mother than you're gravely mistaken, shes being trialed tomorrow for my fathers murder'

'I'm well aware I just want to clarify that...'

'And you have' You cut him short once more.

He looks at you sympathetically. He could see your hands starting to tremble and your voice wobbled.

'Please remain in touch, as for the trail tomorrow, still attend. Your mother currently has a warrant out for her arrest. I would like your permission to search your house'

'This is my house' You claim.

'Daisy...' Officer Webber says a bit more harshly.

You nod. 'Sure' You grab the keys off the counter, and look up at your fathers home. 'Find her, please' You say a bit more tenderly now. The voice in your tone now full of nerves.

'Please still attend the trial. Can I convince you to come with me to the station? I really think it will be within your way interests'

You deny the offer again. 'No. I assure you I'll ring with any queries I may have, and if I have nothing then I'll see you tomorrow Officer Webber. Thankyou for informing me'

Officer Webber gives a small smile and turns to walk out the door.

'The Officer your mother seduced. He's also being trialed tomorrow, for the crimes he commuted by being a companion to your mothers investigation and charge'

You gulp and nod. 'Poor man never stood a chance against her...'

As the door closes behind Officer Webber you reach out to the phone and dial frantically.

'Come on...pick up. Pick up!' You shout down the line.

'Daisy?!'

'Bucky! Where's Steve?!'

'He's in wardrobe and makeup...I'm sorry'

You start to sob. You couldn't hold it in any longer.

'Daisy. What is it?' Bucky tries to say soothingly.

'My mother...she's escaped. The Officer wanted me to with them but I wanted to watch Steve's speech so...'

'Daisy!'

'I know Bucky. I know'

You can hear Steve shout out to Buck. But you don't catch Bucky's response. He was clearly holding the microphone part of his phone down.

'Daisy?!' Steve stutters down the phone. 'B-Bucky said your mothers escaped??'

'Steve! Oh my God I don't know what to do but I...'

'Get that ass of yours to the station and don't be alone tonight!'

'Your speech...'

'Screw the speech Daisy you've watched it every night so far!'

'But I...'

'Daisy!' Steve raises his voice and you're taken back for a minute.

'Listen to me. Please' Steve begs.

'Okay...okay...'

'See if they'll allow you to call me when you're at the station' Steve asks hopeful.

You sniffle and clutch the phone close to you. 'Okay'

'I love you. Please, I need you safe'

'Yes Captain' You try and say playfully.

Steve chuckles down the phone. 'That's my girl'

As you hang up the phone you turn and gasp.

'Hello Petal' Her voice calls out.

'M-mother?!'
