Scott unplugged the USB from the side of the computer before Derik barged into the room. He had this look on his face as if he saw a ghost. 

"What are you two doing?" Asking this in a firm tone as if he ran the place, eyes completely super-glued to Scott

"What are you two doing?" Asking this in a firm tone as if he ran the place, eyes completely super-glued to Scott. 

"We were just looking up things on that book, I am letting Scott barrow.." There was a very much noticeable attitude in my voice, completely annoyed at this point. 

"I am headed to the store, and I would feel more comfortable if you joined me, Lillith." 

"I have some important studying to get done, so I will have to pass." 

"I would-" 

"The lady said no Derik" Scott was now standing over Derik towering him. 

"Then Scott you're coming with me. You two will not be here alone." 

"We've been together alone for over a couple months I am more than sure we're fine." 

Derik exited the room stomping. "OUT OF THAT ROOM NOW!" his voice echoing through the entire house. Scott and I walk out slow unsure what to find in store before my arm was grabbed by Derik and giving Scott a look that everything will be alright. 

"I don't like the way he looks at you

"I don't like the way he looks at you." 

"He doesn't quite like the way you look at me either Derik." My voice low but loud enough that way he could comprehended my side comment. 

"As your father, what I say goes. I command you listen; I have simply earned that right." 

"Oh really?" I stated with a laugh- " You've been absent from my life for 11 years and you just expect me to be cool with it?" Me just completely following his side of the story at this point "And truth is I really don't feel safe with you so could you just leave." Saying such before I ran out the door and to Scott. 

Entering the Shed though the backside before we could be spotted. 

"Lillith, now I understand that you don't exactly like me, but as your father I do want us to be some sort of family."

"When I am home, I want that attitude gone." 

As Derik went to leave, I slipped and was dangling from the rafters. Scott almost superhuman like took me from my sate placing me under him. Looking down to notice that Derik had suddenly turned back around due to the noise then proceeded to leave. Scott and I were inches apart his heartbeat on my chest, his breath on my chin... 

"We should find that money before he does.." 

He says this as he removed himself from on top of me and then assisted me to the floor as well. Making my way to the floorboard, I pushed over the stack of unkept blankets that revealed a loose piece of cattle panel that I could move easily and as I did, I simply found what mother had left waiting for me. 

Gems, money, expensive objects as well as a small notebook that I opened to find a list of names. I took what I could carry as Scott snagged the rest, I placed the stuff inside the car as I saw that Scott was quiet. 

"What's wrong?" 

"What do you actually plan to do with all this?" He asked and looking at me as if I just shoved a knife into his heart. 

"I can't go someplace else. Derik has full custody now and unless I can actually prove he isn't actually my father. The only way to do that is to find that tape, let's go do that." 

You could see a light ignite inside Scotts eyes "Together?" He asks softly with a grin. As we walked towards the house, our hands became one as we started to hunt for that tape.
