Katie lowered her head, sad at her daddy's tone. "I'm sorry daddy," she said in a small hurt puppy kind of voice. "I wanted you and they said you were busy," she hugged his leg. "You're always busy. I want you to play with me."
Ever since her brother had gone away Daddy always wanted her to stay in her room. But she got bored and lonely in there all by herself. She wanted someone to play with. But more then that, she wanted her daddy.
"Those men are loud and smelly. I want you daddy," she said, clinging to him.

Remembering what she had heard, Katie peered up at him. "Daddy? I heard someone scream. Are they sick? Are they going to go away too, like-" she almost said her brother's name but stopped. She didn't like how daddy got when someone mentioned her brother. He acted funny.

"There you are you little-!" a voice started then stopped. "Sir!" it was the man who had chased her before. "I tried to get her back to her room, but she climbed up into the pipes and I lost her."
Katie frowned and stuck her tongue out at the man. "Cuz I'm not a big dummy," she said, holding on tightly to her daddy's pant leg. She had all the courage in the world when her daddy was standing there. He would never let anything happen to her.

She tugged on his pant leg. "Can we go and play Daddy? Please? Just for a little bit?"
She had bits and pieces of broken crayons in her room waiting to be used. Even if all he did was sit in the same room with her while she drew a picture for him she'd be happy. Even though Katie was more then a little spoiled, it really didn't take much to make her happy.
