Isaac Collins POV
Me, Lovey and Rowan are seated in the living room and were watching Ella Enchanted for the fifth time. Rowan's cuddled up next to me and lovey's sitting on Rowan's lap, my arm is around Rowan's waist, and her head is on my shoulder. I finally sneak the remote out of Lovey's formally tight grasp without her knowing, and I exit out of the movie.
"Wait what just happened," Lovey exclaimed.
"Isaac you didn't," Rowan said in disbelief.
"Iyic, your so mean," Lovey said scrunching up her face and crossing her arms tightly around her chest.
"Don't worry I'll put something that you'll like," I say in a calm and rational voice. I then put the movie Game Night, and 5 minutes into the movie lovey is completely invested. Not long after, nearing the end of the movie I could see Lovey's eyes getting heavy, as she became more and more drowsy, then she finally gives in to sleep. Shortly after Rowan notices.
"I should put Lovey to bed," Rowan whispers.
"No, I'll do it, you stay here and finish the movie, K."
"Ok," Rowan says sitting back down and giving me a gentle smile. She then holds my cheek and gives me a peck on the lips. I stand up with lovey in my arms and walk towards the stairs, while still smiling. Once I get up to lovey's room, I gently lay her on her bed and cover her in her light pink bedsheets.
"Night lovebug," I say then walk towards her door. As I'm in the doorway I hear Lovey say.
"Night Night daddy." I completely stopped in my tracks and slowly look behind me to see a soundly asleep Lovey, she looks so delicate and small. Maybe I'm just hearing things, Lovey has never called me dad before. Why would she start now?
I walk downstairs still thinking about what just happened, I see Rowan still on the couch, she looks like she just got off the phone, and she turns her head in my direction.
"Hey, you ok?" Rowan asks as I sit back down on the couch with her.
"Umm Lovey called me dad," I said letting my mind drift off.
"What!? Oh my god, I'm so sorry." Rowan said in a panic. I looked at her and smiled.
"It's ok, she probably confused me with her real father." Rowan's face sank.
"Um, Lovey has never met her father." My eyes widened in surprise, I've always assumed that Lovey met him at least at one point in her young life, but I guess I was wrong.
"What happened?" Rowan started to fiddle with her fingers in her lap.
"I don't wanna talk about it." Instead of hounding her, I let her curl up in my arm.

December 14th, 10:55 am
I'm at my lawyer's office, to discuss the Miles Gray case. Ever since he did that to Rowan she's been terrified to go outside, she thought if she leaves the house she'll probably be scooped up and taken away by miles or either people that work for him. I'm not going to let this go unless he's either, locked up or dead.
I walk into my lawyer's office and I see one of the police officers that were called that day.
"Oh hello, Mr. Collins." My lawyer Richie says then comes around the desk and walks to the door where I'm standing, to shake my hand.
"Hey Richie, hello officer," I say subtly recognizing his presence. I look over at Richie and I raise an eyebrow in question.
"Mr. Collins, officer Morgan is here to talk about the 2012 Cassie Cordona case, since you were involved."
"All right?"

Once we're all seated
"Mr. Collins, we got a tip from an anonymous sender, and it happens to be involved with the death of Cassie Cordona, and multiple other women."
"What was the tip?" Officer Morgan, opened the file that he had in his hand."
"Christ!?" I say startled by the graphic photos.
"What the hell is this?" Officer Morgan points to one picture of a blond-haired girl, she's covered in dirt and looks lifeless, that's Cassie, she no longer had that smile that she wore every single day, or the dream that one day she'll have a big family for her self, she was just reduced to one thing, a corpse.
"We think that Miles Grey killed these women, or was an accomplice of sorts, there's an under wraps investigation going on about him and his family."
"His family?" That confused me, Miles's family is a very respectable bunch, and I hate to say this, but they're pretty good people, but I guess you don't really know people until they show you their true colours.

I go to the office in a daze, theirs so much going on in my head right now, and I need to distract myself, or I might just go crazy this time. As I walk to the office employees say hi and wave, but Ignore them. Once I get to my office and I work until my legs feel like they've atrophied.
9:00pm
I'm pretty certain that I'm the only one in the office now. My eyes are burning from staring at a screen for so long, and my hand hurts like a bitch from typing and writing. And just when I feel like I'm done I get a call, I check the caller ID and it's from an unknown number. I pick it up.
"Hello?"
"Hello, Isaac?" That voice, I could recognize that voice anywhere.
