" What about those criminals." I ask .

" They are taken away , turns out the head of the business is the governor of this city and the assistant is Mrs. Hoechline , but the governor is dead now. We've left alot of news anchors there , you'll hear the news yourself. The children have been taken away too , they were thankful by the way , and also the one that they were almost to reap away her organs but you saved her  woke up !"

" What do you mean , reap away her organs?!" Harper asks shocked.

" Apart from human trafficking, they were also selling their organs like kidneys and others, we found some that were ready to be transported in there !"

Hearing that Harper cries bitterly, she holds onto me tightly crying.

" Hey..am sorry babe.. I know how it makes you feel but you have to be strong my love , you've fought a big battle and you are a HEROINE , you saved so many people, if it wasn't for you we wouldn't have been able to know about this.. shshhss.. it's okay am here with you . " I say trying to ease her pain.

" By the way , we've also found the papers of the contracts of where those children are taken and work , so they'll be able to rescue those that will be lucky enough, we need to leave now . " the captain says .

My dad hasn't said a word , what the hell is wrong with him?!

Mr. And Mrs Hoechline were taken to another helicopter and are being treated to make sure they dont die .

We get in another helicopter, but before we set off , we see who I guess are citizens, many of them burning those houses down . They thank us so much , saying that after we leave they are going to burn down this forest!!

We set off , feeling a mixture of emotions, I can't really describe what I feel now , Ofcourse am happy but sad at the same time , scared I think because of what I saw in that room and also , scared of how dangerous people can be, when you think you know them but turns out you have zero clue on who they really are , good example Harper and her parents !!

Everyone is on their phones , I guess the news is all over the internet.

" Hey Theo , I think you need to hear this ." The captain says smiling, whole of his face written on 'Am proud of you'

I take his phone , and tab start the video , Harper is lying on my chest and dad is beside me on the left .

A pretty girl shows on the screen, she seems to be crying while  talking .  " I wish I had a chance to thank him myself, even if I didn't, I won't rest until I meet him and thank him myself, thank you so much , you've given me a chance to leave again by saving my life , and a chance to choose who to trust or not trust anyone at all , I trusted a man who pretended to love me only to lead me to my death. But I can't blame anyone but myself for trusting him so easily when I barely knew him . I want to tell my fellow girls and everyone else that know who you are and don't fall for mere words from people, so many humans can't be trusted!" She finishes still crying.

I return his phone . " You saved her !" Harper says smiling.

" No , we saved her, especially you!" I say smiling back at her .

I kiss her dry lips softening them . I look at dad and he pretends to not see that . Harper lies on my chest again!

" Dad , you okay?" Harper looks at me wondering if I found my dad .

" You found your dad ?" She asks curiously lifting her head .

" Yep. " I answer.
" Really?!"
" well , actually not biological, but he's real to me , my real father. "
" That's great!" She says smiling. " Hello dad , am Harper, can you be my real father too ?" She asks , I find myself smiling.

" Ofcourse, why not ? Now I'll have a son and a daughter ." He says smiling, a genuine smile .

" Actually if it wasn't for him , we wouldn't be here now Harper. " I tell her feeling so much greatness to Jesus.

" Thank you so much dad . " Harper says emotions taking over her again.

" No need. "  he answers simply.
" So dad , you okay?" I ask insisting.
" Uh.. I know it's not important but just to mention it , am surprised, I didn't expect that the person we've been hunting down is Rozzet!" 

Actually I've never known her first name , not like I wanted to , but hearing it , sounds familiar but I can't put a finger on where I heard it , not just hearing but there's something about it , and not what happened some few hours ago.

" How do you know each other ?" Harper asks as am still lost in my thoughts trying to remember about her name!

" She was my first love , the love of my life , the person that I thought I could never survive a minute without, but she left me even when I cried and begged on my knees . Well back then I was so poor from a poor family and she couldn't take that so she married someone rich . But it doesn't matter now, am totally over her but just some few months ago , when I met someone else and my heart just healed instantly!"

" So you're Jesus Scott?" Harper asks , the emotions coming back again.
" Yeah , how did you know !"
" I think it's better if I don't talk about it , I can't handle that again, but just to mention it , she said she wants to get you back because you're now rich , and my dad is useless now!"

" I can't believe her !" I say honestly . " what is she made of ?"

" Also she said that she snatched dad from her step sister!"

And there it is...Auntie Rozzet!! My mom's step sister!? No! no! No! There's no f*cking way , God please noooo!! I ... I...

" Theo? Hey.. Theo.. "
" Mh.."
" What is it ?! "
" What??" I ask wondering what they are referring to .

" You are crying. " dad says , I wipe my cheeks only to find tears . "Also you kept shouting no!" Harper says worriedly.

I didn't realise any of that , suddenly my heart is aching, I can feel it break in a thousand pieces, my whole being broken down . " It cannot be.."

" Theo.. what can't be you're scaring me?" I hear Harper shouting which brings me back to reality. I did say that aloud again !

Maybe it's just a coincidence, maybe we don't share a father , am just overthinking , Mr. Hoechline cant be my real father!
