*Ring* *Ring* I answer my phone. "Dad?" I ask "Leon I'm so sorry. I don't know what happened." he said "It made me so paranoid and angry." he said "Violent." I said "Huh?" he questioned, "And Violent." I answered. There was a pause from him. "I'm sorry. Are you okay?" he said worriedly. "Besides a few bruises on my chest, I'm fine," I say dryly. "We have to leave town," he said I furrow my eyebrows. "How are we going anywhere with people follow us?" I ask. I'm not sure we'll make it out of town. "We'll meet up at the bridge. Since you can't go home I'll grab some clothes and other things," he said what is he thinking. "How do we know they're not going to come after you?" I ask looking back at Athena who was sleeping. "If they were looking for me they wouldn't have let me go," he said I don't know what's going to happen if I get caught. Just thinking about it makes me feel squeamish. "Ok, when should we meet?" I whisper. "Tomorrow night. Under Wheeling Bridge," he states. We agree to meet there. Later I tell Athena that I'll need a ride there. She said she would send one of her drivers. 

"Be safe..." she said kissing my forehead. She holds my hand putting something into it. "Push this if you need me to locate you. I won't let her take my baby," she whispered before hugging me. I hug her back and tuck the button into my pocket. "When you make it out of town call me. I have some property over in the next town," she says "I will." I promise. I get into the car. I wave as we take off. The sky was dark and the only thing I could see out of the windows were the street lights lined up and down the street. It had been a few days since I had been outside. Everything felt foreign. Deep down I felt this anxiety about going to my father. I was worried about something but still couldn't pinpoint everything I was worried about since my worries have been piling up lately.

The driver was silent as he pulled up under the bridge. He cut the headlights off as we waited. Soon I see my dad's car drive down the road. All of a sudden a black car crashes into his car. I jump up. "What the fuck!" I yell covering my mouth in horror. I quickly open the door and jump out. I can see my dad's bloody hand open the door to his car. The passenger side of his car was damaged. His head and arm were bleeding but it didn't look too bad. He staggers as he gets out of the car. I let out a breath of relief. I hear the door of the other car open. "Damn he's still not dead? This fucker just won't die. Damn cockroach." I hear a familiar voice complain. I slowly turn to look at Annabella walking out of the car along with some other men dressed in black. She pulls out a gun and loads it. "It's about time I tied up loose ends. Father will be disappointed to see me slacking," she said smirking My eyes widen. "You let him go. Why are you trying to kill him!" I yell Annabella looks at me and chuckles shaking her head. "He was never meant to escape. You can thank your buddy Santi for the extra time you got to spend with him." Annabella says pointing the gun at my dad's chest. I run to him. The gun goes off and his body drops onto the ground. My heart drops and I rush to his side. I shake him. "I-I'm sorry for hitting you. I know...you're having a hard time forgiving me." he coughed up blood. My tears blur my vision as I put pressure on the wound in his chest. "Stop talking!" I said clenching my jaw. He puts his hand over his mind. "I'm not going to make it out of here...I can feel it. You make it out for me," he said his voice growing faint. "No your coming with me!" I yell ripping the bottom of my shirt attempting to stuff the bullet wound. His hand slides down his side. My eyes widen. I shake him. "Dad?" I say tapping him. "Dad! Wake up!" I cry shaking him. I pull his head onto my lap. "You gotta wake up." I sniffle moving his hair off his face.  My bloody hands shake as I stroke his face. "I forgive you. Please wake up." I whisper. "That's enough...get him." She says with a bored expression and I feel my arms being snatched and dragged away. "No!" I yell kicking as I'm dragged away. "I can't leave him!" I scream as they throw me into a truck. They tie my wrist together. Annabella gets in and lets out a hysterical laugh. "You tried to leave me." She said as if she couldn't believe that I would want to run away from her. I clench my jaw looking out the window at my father's body. "Leon," she said Grabbing my arm. I pull my arms away. "Don't fucking touch me!" I spat. She watched me for a moment before grabbing my jaw and punching me in my nose. "You've been away for too long," she said gripping my jaw. I try to pull away my nose started to drip blood. "You're so stupid. Look at you," she said I turn away from her. "And you're evil, you murderer," I murmur. "And that is where you're wrong. I'm not evil I'm simply doing my job. I'm a very busy girl and I have a lot of people I have to keep happy. Besides death doesn't discriminate and neither do I. " she says grinning. The car starts moving and zooms off. My eyes stick onto my father's body as we drive past him. "I'll let you see the condition your father's temporary savior is in...just in case you get any of your dumb ideas again," she said buckling her seatbelt.
