About a week later I was awoken at 6am to someone banging on my door. It was Saturday and I didn't need to be up at the ungodly hour and whoever it was, was going to get shot. I walked to the door that had a chain lock so I didn't open the door all the way and Ace was right there with me growling when I opened the door.
"Can I help you?" I asked pissed off seeing 4 people standing in my porch..3 guys and a girl.
"Hey um...Shane?" He asked and I went to reach for my gun subtly so he couldn't see.
"Can I ask who wants to know?" I asked.
"I'm Pooch, I work with...I work with Clay." Pooch said and I knew better than to just trust anyone especially when they just show up on my doorstep.
"ID." I said and grabbed my gun pointing it at him through the opening in the door.
"Fuck!" The one guy with glasses said. "She is clearly knows Clay." The guy with glasses continued and I glared as him. Pooch handed me his dog tags with his info. I took it and Ace kept an attack stance. I handed him his dog tags back and then closed the door.
"Eye contact." I said to Ace and he knew to watch everyone that came in. I unlocked the door and let them all in but kept my gun in my hand.
"You 3 stay here and sit on the couch. You come with me." I said and I looked at Ace.
"Guard.." I said and he stood watched the other 3.
"Nice dog." The guy with glasses said and went to pet Ace but he barked, growled and snapped at him.
"Good boy." I said and I went walked upstairs and Pooch followed.
"How do you know Clay?" Pooch asked and I didn't answer.
"Why are you here?" I asked stopped at the top of steps.
"We couldn't get ahold of Clay and we were worried knowing if something happened he told me to come here." Pooch said. I walked to the one door and opened it.
"This who you are looking for?" I asked and Pooched looked at sleeping Clay.
"Clay!" Pooch said in a loud voice waking him only he came up pointing a gun at Pooch.
"FUCK MAN! Everyone pulling guns on us this morning." Pooch said and Clay looked me and I showed him my gun.
"Sorry." Clay said and I sighed.
"There are 3 more here." I said and Clay looked at Pooch in amazement.
"You brought everyone?" Clay asked and Pooch shrugged.
"I didn't know if you were in danger or not." Pooch said looking at me.
"Looks like you are taken care of though." Pooch said and I rolled my eyes.
"Can I go back to bed?" I asked and Clay sighed.
"Can you possibly come with me? I think some introductions need to be made." Clay said and I groaned.
"I'll go get dressed." I said and Clay nodded. I headed into my room and put on a pair of jeans with holes in them and a white t-shirt. I put my hair in a ponytail and did some make-up. I thought I needed to look presentable. Once I walked out to the hallway I was met by Clay and Pooch.
"You didn't go downstairs?" I asked Pooch.
"And deal with murder dog? I think not." Pooch said and Clay laughed.
"You put Ace on guard didn't you?" Clay said and I nodded. We walked downstairs and saw everyone sitting on the couch with Ace still watching them.
"Ace, come." I said and he came to stand by me and I loved on him.
"That's all it took to get him to calm down?" The girl asked.
"He only listens to my voice or Clays." I said and she half nodded and then saw Clay. She walked over to him.
"I'm so happy to see you are safe." She said, she kissed Clay and I looked confused. Clay broke the kiss and looked at me.
"What the hell?!" I asked. Clay sighed as Pooch and the girl sat back on the couch. Clay walked in front of everyone taking me with him.
"Pooch, Cougar, Jensen, Aisha this is Shane....my daughter." Clay said and they all sat in shock.
"Shane, this is my team." Clay said and I just half nodded.
"And they are here because...?" I trailed off and Clay sighed.
"I have been ignoring calls from them so they must have tracked me." Clay said and I groaned.
"Nice...I'm supposed to be hidden out here and now your whole entire team is here. Thanks." I said and walked into the kitchen and Ace followed.
*****LIVING ROOM*****
Clay watched Shane walk into the kitchen and sighed.
"A daughter Clay?! Since when?" Jensen asked and Clay just looked at him in amazement.
"Since her mother and I made her years ago idiot." Clay said and everyone just shook their heads.
"Not what we mean Clay. I mean we have known you for years and worked together and you never mentioned a kid." Pooch said.
"My goal was to keep her safe and away from everything. After what happened with her mother...listen I just had to keep her safe." Clay said and stopped when he almost mentioned Shane's mother.
"Were you married to her mother?" Aisha asked and Clay shook his head.
"No, she knew the job though and knew what I did. I always tried to keep them safe." Clay said and looked at pictures of them 3 of them on her mantel from Shane's 10th birthday party and smiled.
"I always just wanted her out of this and safe." Clay said and everyone gave a small nod.
"And can we ask what happened to her mother?" Jensen asked and Clay sighed.
"Someone wanting info on me 6 years ago. Took her and tortured her. I got there too late since we were all on a mission and Shane couldn't get ahold of me." Clay said and everyone hung their heads.
"I told you I don't blame you, you were working." I said coming into the living room carrying a tray with the coffee pot, mugs, cream and sugar. Jensen stood up and took the tray from me setting it on the coffee table. "Thank you." I said giving him a small smile. I walked over to Clay and gave him a hug. "Yes, mom got killed by some asshole but you were working. She trusted the wrong people, reason I don't date." I said as we hugged.
"You need to trust people." Clay said as we broke apart.
"I'm not having this conversation again." I said and he sighed.
"It's not easy to trust people, hell Clay you know that. You slept with Aisha when none of us trusted her, you didn't even trust her." Pooch said and I looked at him oddly and then started looking between the two of them.
"Okay woah stop! You slept with her?!" I asked shocked and she stood up.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Aisha asked and Ace started barking getting between her and I.
"Call off you guard dog." She said and I didn't say a damn thing and let Ace continue.
"Aisha! Shane!" Clay yelled over Ace's barking.
"Ace, bed." I said and he stopped barking then walking to his bed in the corner of the bed. I then looked at Aisha then Clay.
"You slept with her? She is my age! It's like you slept with your daughter!" I said and Clay just looked at me slightly shocked. Jensen, Pooch and Cougar all choked on the drinks of coffee they just took. Clay stood there in slight shock that I said what I said.
"Shane...come on." Clay said and I groaned. I looked at Aisha.
"I have to get out of here. I have to go see a patient." I said and walked to get my medical bag from the dining room and then Ace followed me to my door.
"Shane..." Clay called after me as Ace and I left.
