On a Mission Policewoman Recognizes Her Father Who Disappeared 10 Years Ago – Story of the Day
A policewoman called to apprehend a bank robber gets the shock of her life when she discovers that he was none other than her father, who vanished a decade ago.
“This will be your room Carla. You get to share it with Mona, Lisa, and Jenny,” Miss Croft, the orphanage owner, said. She was talking to Carla, a 13-year-old girl who had been brought to the orphanage by her distraught mother.
“I need you to care for her,” the girl’s mother, Zoey, had told Croft with tears in her eyes.

“Shouldn’t you do that yourself?” Croft asked the woman with a flat look.
“I want to, I assure you, but I can’t. I just filed for bankruptcy and have no way to survive. I wish you to take her in while I try to make something of myself, that’s all,” Zoey told her sadly.
When it seemed like the woman was not convinced, Zoey revealed that her husband had deserted them because he didn’t want to be tied down to a woman.
“What a dreadful man,” Croft had said.
She and Zoey had both been unaware that the young Carla had been listening in on the conversation and had heard about how her father left them.
The little girl found herself resenting him as she watched her mom leave without so much as a wave to her. “He did this,” she thought. “He left us and now Mom has left me.”
Zoey promised to return for Carla after some time, but one month became a year, and a year morphed into several without a word from the woman.

Croft raised Carla with great morals, and the girl thrived; in school, she kept good grades, and socially, she was one of the most liked kids in the orphanage.
Since childhood, Carla had dreamt of becoming a policewoman, so when she was old enough, she channeled her focus into it.
Like anything she put her mind to, Carla succeeded, winning a scholarship...
