Hi I'm Arizona Finn Brooklyn. I just turned 13 and weight 90 Lbs. I am on a flight to NYC because there is a rapist out to get me. He left a note on my windowsill saying that. My city called the national guard to ask for advice. They said to place my with someone in a different state. Then they asked me to pick a number and I picked 33 which is New York in alphabetical order. I grab my new address book and go to my school to get phone numbers.
Michael POV
"Hey how's the one and only Donald Cragen doing?" I ask. "What do you want Michael?" He asks me. "I've got a 13 year old who needs to live with you guys in NYC for a few years or so." I say. "Why me?" He asks. "Because she was targeted by a serial rapist who has raped he whole family. And you're the only person in NYC I trust. That's why." I tell him. "Alright, how is she getting here?" He asked. "I will fly her there personally in a private jet. We'll be there in a few hours." I say. "Thanks for the heads up" he thanks
Arizona's POV
I arrive at the school 10 minutes before the bell which rings at 6:00am. I got my friends Annabeth, Thalia, Katie, Miranda and Clarisse and my 3 guys best friends numbers. Tyson, Luke and Jason. Jason and Thalia are brother and sister. Katie and Miranda are twins. I walk out of the school and get in his cop car.
We drive to WPAFB (Wright Patterson Air Force Base) and then I get my duffle bag and my book bag and sling it over my shoulders. 4 security guards are walking with us. When we get into the private jet I fall asleep.
Michael POV
Arizona fell asleep and we are only 3 minutes into the ride. I feel so bad for her. One minute you are living a happy life with your family, and the next you are going into WPP to live in NYC. That's 3,215 miles away form where she is used to. I sit alone with my thoughts for the rest of the plane ride. We will land at 7:30.
Arizona POV
I feel someone try to wake me up but I am too tired to get up. Just then I feel someone pick me up. I hear," Hey Don, this is Arizona. She fell asleep on the plane and is exhausted, so I decided not to wake her I'll put her in the car. Michael put me in the car Then I hear my bags get put next to me in the car. Right as Michael tries to close the door I get out of the car and hug him. I've only known him for 3 weeks but I feel like he is another dad to me. I hope the Don man can too.
I look over at Don and he looks to be in his 50s. He seems nice. I see something shiny in his pocket then I notice that it's a badge; he is a officer of some sort. "Hello young lady, my name is Donald Cragen but you can call me Don." He says extending his hand out to me."I"m Arizona." I say still half asleep. I shake his hand then get back in the car and put my seat belt on.
Don gets in the car a minute later and we drive to a tall building. We go into the parking garage and he parks in a spot that is marked Captain Cragen. I get out of the car and get my bags. As we are riding the elevator when a brown haired woman enters the elevator. "Olivia, I would like you to meet Arizona." He says to her. "Hi Arizona, I'm Olivia." She says. "Hi" I say timidly. I really don't like meeting new people.
When I was in school I never had many friends. I was just friends with Annabeth in the 6th grade then in the 7th grade she introduced me to Thalia, Katie, and Miranda. Then Thalia introduced me to Luke, Tyson, and Jason. That's all my friends, I don't have other friends.
We get off at the 6th floor and there are 6 desks and a office in the corner of the room. I follow Don to the office. "You can set your stuff right there." He says pointing to a small coffee table in the corner of the room. "Okay," I say. I set my stuff down and grab a book out. It's the Hunger games. I get on chapter 10 in about an hour when he gets up and orders, "John, Finn, Olivia, Elliot, Nick and Amanda, my office." 4 men and a blonde woman and Olivia walk in. I'm still sitting on the chair but even though I am shy I hate to be looked down on so I stand up. "This is Arizona, she is from Ohio and she will be staying with us for a while." Says Don. A man with brown hair comes up to me and shakes my hand. I smile and he gets down on his knees and says,"Hi I'm Elliot." "Hello" I say kinda still shy about meeting new people but I make adult friends better than I do kid friends. I think Elliot and I are gonna be good friends.
Then another man, John says," Hi Arizona." "Hi munch," I say smirking remembering that I saw his name plate on his desk. Then the whole rooms starts to laugh. I smile as he turns away and says, "I've got my eye on you, Brooklyn." When his back is to me I stick my tongue out at him. The room starts to laugh again.
Then a man named Finn walked over and said I'm Finn. "My middle name if Finn. I'm named after my great-grandfather." I said. "So your name is Arizona Finn Brooklyn?" He asked. "Yup," I nod.
Next the blonde(Amanda) comes up and asks, "how ya doin' ?" I'm doin' fine just a little tired." I say bit then Don cuts in. "You slept on the plane ride here and in the car." "Hey, teenage girls need their beauty sleep." I defend myself and all other teenage girls around the world. "Yeah" says Elliot. We all look at Elliot. "What I have a teenager at home she can get cranky if she does not sleep." He explains. "I won't get cranky." I protest. "I think you already are." Jokes Nick. "Come on you can sleep in the cribs until we go home." Says Don. "Okay," I say yawning. Everyone laughs as I follow Don across the room and up the stairs. He opens the door and reveal 2 beds in a tan room. Thanks, I don't know...I mean...this a lot to take in. New family, New friends, New school, New schedule, New life." I tell him. "I know and when we get home I have a surprise for you." he smiles. I go lay down on the bed and drift off to sleep.
Don POV
She just went to the cribs. I feel bad for the kid. She literally had to just pack up and move into a life. Poor kid. When we leave tonight I want to learn more about her. She seems intelligent and humorous. I think she is Christian because she has a cross around her neck. I'll ask about it later. The detectives keep asking me questions. Who is she, why is she here, how long will she be here, basic stuff.
After I answer all of their questions and they leave I go to get Arizona up. She was sleeping for a good 4 hours, 6 total today. I walk into the room and she is curled up in a ball sleeping with her head at the foot of the bed. I walk over to her bed and put my arm on her shoulder and say," Arizona, it is time to wake up." Maybe I said that a little louder than I should have because she jumped up hitting her head on the shelve above the bed. "Ouch" she says calmly. "I'm sorry to scare you but it's time to wake up and go home. "Oh...ok," she says still half asleep. She walks out of the room and goes down 1/2 the stairs. She goes to step the 6th step and missed it. I reach out and grab her shirt and wrap my arm around her waist to keep her from falling down the steps. I saw her knees buckle and he ankle roll. Elliot is the only one still here. He was in the copy room filling papers so when he heard the commotion he came running. He picks her up and holds her bridal style.
Right now she is just laying there with her eyes open but I can see her eyes tear up. I look down at her ankle and it is already black and blue so I'm pretty sure she broke something. "She was in my care for 11 hours and she already got hurt." I complain."I need a bus at the 6th precinct. We have a child who missed a few steps going down the stairs." I say into the walkie-talkie. "A bus is in route." I hear back. I go get into her bag and get the folder with all of her medical information. I also grab a change of clothes for both of us and a extra jacket for her.
We go down the elevator and wait in the lobby. Since we got out of the elevator she wanted to stand so she is leaning against Elliot. While I'm holding the bags. She gets the jacket on since it is fall and it is getting colder.
The ambulance arrives and Elliot helps her over to it. He is about to help her on the stretcher when she uses all her upper body strength to lift her self up and over the metal railing. "How'd you do that?" Elliot asked. "Well ever since I was 3 I did gymnastics." She says lying herself down. "Boss, I'll get your car and drive it to the hospital for you." Elliot says. Ok, I reply. I get into the ambulance and they are checking her vitals.
So what happened they ask her. "I was sleeping and then he came and woke me up. I was scared because...I don't know I just jumped and then I hit my head on a shelf above the bed." She explains. Just then we pulled up to Mercy Generals ER. The get her out of the bus and in her own room.
Arizona POV
They get me out of the ambulance and into a room. When I notice Don stopped walking I start to get nervous. Why would he stop walking? He is the only one I know. I need his here. They wheel me into an empty room and 3 people try to get me on the bed but when they all lift the almost drop me. They put me back down and then one guy picks me up and lies me down on the bed. They get my foot up in holder to relieve pressure off my foot. Since I'm wearing sweatpants I just pull the one pant leg up. I sit there quiet of about 10 minutes before a lady comes in and asks for a whole bunch of information. But I don't tell her much. I tell her my first name and that's about it. They says they will go get my dad and I say," good luck trying to fly all the way back to Ohio." They go get Don and he says that I am his friends daughter. Which I kinda true because Don had talked to my dad before.
After Don answered as much as he could he left and I was all alone again. A doctor comes in and says," let's check on this foot shall we." It seems to be broken. Let's get an X-day just to be sure. They go get a wheel chair and say," let's go to the X-ray machine." I get out of the bed and walk to the door. I actually get to the door and 6 step out of the door before they grab my waist and sit me in the chair. Now, I don't know about New York but in Ohio, doctors are not supposed to grab you any where. I just sit there with my arms crossed. When they get me to where the X-ray machine is, he grabs one of my arms but I slap his hand. I get up on the bed and lie down. They turn the lights off and start the machine up. So I'm laying on a machine to see if my foot is broke in the dark? Ok.
As soon as we are done with that I get back in the chair and before he has the chance to start to push me I start to roll my self away.
He comes back and says my foot is broken and asks what color I would want. I told him pink. He gave me a sharpie after the cast was on. I made 3 boxes. 1 for Don, 1 for Annabeth and one for the rest of my friends in Ohio. I sign Annabeth's name for her because she cannot sign it personally.
Don comes in and I hand him the sharpie and her signs in. He hands it back to me and he gets my crutches. "The doctor said that you were irritable and stubborn." He says. "Well the stubborn I get but why irritable?" I ask. "The doctor said when he asked you to get in the wheel chair you attempted to escape but since your foot was hurt that you didn't go far." He explained. "The doctor said, and I quote, let's go to the X-ray machine. So I got up and out of bed. I just started walking because I saw a sign outside the door that said X-rays and an arrow pointing left. So I walked out and he threw me down in the chair." I say this very, lengthy explanation. "Ok, well he doesn't like you. Can you just apologize and make up some reason about why.
I go over to the doctor and say," I'm sorry I was being a stubborn and irritable child. I was just upset at myself because I can't do gymnastics for 5 weeks." I say trying to sound sincere. "It is ok, I have a 9 year old in gymnastics and she yelled at her older brother because he had a basketball game the same weekend." He says. I smile and walk away.
I get into the waiting room and Olivia, Elliot, and John are sitting there with balloons and teddy bears. "Do any of you have children?" I ask. "I do but none of them have ever broken anything. So we didn't know what to get you." I laugh and say absolutely nothing. Once I get released from the hospital Don drives me to his house or "HOME".
We get to his apartment building but he lives in the penthouse. I get into the house and he says. The room on the left is yours of you want to go look at it. Elliot already put my bags in there. I open the door and I see a white room with sheets on the floor like someone was going to paint. The window was big and reflected the city lights really well. Next to the window of the room there is a desk with my book bag on the floor next to it. My bed and a mounted flat screen are on the other side of the room. My bed has a white bedspread with lilac pillows and sheets underneath.
On my bed is a note but then the note rang. I walked over to the bed and read then move the piece of paper. It said:
we ❤️ you mom and dad
I picked up the phone and looked at the contact mom.
(A-Arizona
M-her mom)
A-hello?

I hung up the phone and climb into bed and fall asleep.
