Mute Girl and Mr. Bad Boy Boxer

Chapter 5

Celaine's POV:

After school I texted my boss telling her that I wouldn't be able to come in today, and quickly got home. I wonder why we are having people over, I think as I walk through the front door.

The downstairs is more messier than it was before, looks like he had a party, cups, beer bottles, plates.

Even the kitchen was messy.

Leave it to him to make my life more difficult. I sigh looking around although it's a lot and with my injuries it may slow me down, but this shouldn't take long.

..

Done and just in time too, I heard the front door open. "Celaine" I hear my father call me and I walk over to him " Our guests are coming over in 20 minutes get snacks from the kitchen and go change, you look a mess" He tells me. I nod and move to the kitchen quickly, getting all the snacks I got from the grocery store and sat them out all nicely in the living room on the table, and made my way to my room. I quickly change out of my old clothes and my moms old hoodie on and a pair of pants.

I hear the door opening the door with a polite greeting, if only they knew how he really was. I take a breath and hurry up and throw my hair into a ponytail as neat as I could get it, and make my way downstairs.

Walking into the living room I see two people in suits. Uh oh, are these detectives? Please don't be here for me, I don't want to get in trouble with my father and move away again. "Ah, you must be Celaine" one of them says, I nod taking a glance at my dad. He doesn't seem angry, "I'm Ms. Smith and this is Mr. Revera please sit" I just down in a chair far away from my 'father' but close enough so they don't think anything of it.

"I know this is sort of unexpected visit and we did call before coming here, but we have some information" Ms. Smith tells us. I look at her, please don't be about me I secretly pray.

"What kind of information?" My dad asks. "You see Mr. Fox, my partner and I are private investigators. We were hired to find you" she explains, "By?" my father asks.

"You're wife's mother" Mr. Revera says, "She's been looking for Celaine for years. Sir".

I look at them in surprise, I have family on my moms side? I thought it was just us since no one came to her funeral.

Oh this changes things..

"Oh well thank you for telling me" my father says standing up and walking to the door. "Oh well there is more sir she-".

"Thank you for coming, I have to be at work any minute now" he tells them. "Ok.. well here is my card if you have questions" he says handing his business card to my dad. He takes it thanking him with a smile, although I could see right past it, he was pissed. My only thought was, Why?

As he shuts the door, he puts the card into the pocket of his shirt. I stare at him, still haven't moved from my seat.

He has this weird look.

"What are you staring at?" he snaps causeing me to look away and shake my head. I look back him as he walks away.

I have to find a way to get that card.

..
Later that night I decided the best way to get the card, I'm going to act like I'm collecting clothes to do laundry.

I move quietly to my dads room making sure not to wake him, I peek through the door. He has his back turned away, I slowly walk into his room and look for the shirt.

I spot it but its hanging on a chair next to him. I tiptoe up to the chair beside him , I reached for the shirt and freeze on the spot. He started stirring in his sleep, when he stopped I wait a second before moving. I grab the card from his pocket before, dashing out of the room and back into mine.
