A 9-year-old girl is getting credit for her quick thinking and for speaking up after managing to escape from her alleged kidnapper last week.Calysta Cordova was reported missing Thursday afternoon by her parents when she didn't come home from school.Calysta stepfather said he knew something was wrong when she didn't walk though the door at 3:21pm and was nine minutes late. Calysta was found safe Friday at the Circle K convenience store in Colorado Springs. Authorities believe Calysta was in a car with 29-year-old suspect Jose Garcia when the car broke down. There, Calysta ran into the store and asked for a phone, saying she wanted to call her uncle. Instead, she called 911. When asked how she found the strength to do what she did, Calysta said in an exclusive interview with "Good Morning America," that she "got my fight from Daddy."Calysta said her father taught her "to stand up for myself.""She had two black eyes, bruises on her cheek. When Garcia entered the store, Calysta defiantly refused to go anywhere with him, yelling, "I'm not going anywhere with you. I'm waiting for my mom," according to police. Thank GOD that she is safe ,alive and breathing.
