Indemnity

Chapter 2

The next morning, the sunlight awakened Josie. She opened her eyes and realized it was later by how the radiance danced off in her bedroom. She looked to her side to see Ben, who was still sleeping peacefully. Josie glanced at the clock.

"SHIT!"

At that moment, Ben woke up, and in alarm to battle whatever he had dreamt of. After things settled, he asked.

"What?"

"I'm late for work!"

"You still do that?" Ben questioned, as he laid back down and put his arms behind his head.

"Yes, I do!"

"What does the infamous Vault think about that?"

"Who cares? They surely don't! I'll be back later! Make yourself at home!" Josie pronounced, as she hurried to get her clothes on and skedaddle.

Allie had already gone to work, a guy friend came by and took her. She figured her mother needed the catching up, so she didn't bother her. Allie had her drivers license, but her credit was not the best to get a car right now. All thanks to her ex husband for that. She was very grateful for her friend, Rob. Who complied to her favor of taking her to work.

Mid day at work, Allie received a text from her mother. She informed her to meet at the park in a few hours, asap. It was one closest to Allie's job, so she wouldn't have to walk far. Her mother went on to say. There was someone who she wanted to introduce.

"K. I take it u found him?" Allie texted her mother, hours after her mother sent it.

"Yes." Josie replied back.

"Now?"

"Yes."

"Be right there!" Allie typed back and hit 'send.' Next, she clocked out and made her way to the public garden.

Ben and Josie waited.

"She's on her way." Josie implied, as she read Allie's last message. Then, she placed her cell phone on stand by and put it in the pocket of her blue jeans.

"Why the hurry? It can wait." Ben suggested.

"No, she needs to know how I feel about you, and vice versa."

Ben nodded to imply he understood.

Even though Josie's daughter obtained how her mother felt for Ben. This meeting was mainly for Ben. She wanted to be there to support her mother, too.

"And...I need to tell you something, as well."

"What?"

All of the sudden, another male voice joined them.

"On oh how dirty someone the likes of her can be!" Butcher interrupted.

"What?!"

"Oh, she didn't tell you? She was the one that told Russia where to find you.The exact coordinates!"

Ben began to fill the angry rise through his body

"Ben! Listen to me! I need to explain, please!" Josie pleaded.

"I can't believe you would do such a thing! The one person I thought-" Ben remarked, as his body commenced to glow.

In a rapid attempt, Josie sputtered the following.

"I had to! It was either life or death and not mine!"

Ben stopped his motions and turned towards her.

"What do you mean?"

"Allie is."

"Is what?"

"Your daughter!"
