Danny had a secret he was keeping from Jazz and daddy.
He held the wavy knife in his tiny hands.
After Talia left (and Danny had gotten a lecture from his dad and Jazz about leaving with dangerous assassins around), Danny went to his room and found the knife under his pillow.
Danny didn't know how Talia did it, but he knew she was the one who had left it there.
It was beautiful.
It was made of silver and had a green hilt with gold designs. He didn't know what material the curved hilt was made of, but he hoped it wasn't real gold. Danny knew if he told his dad about it, he would take it away until Danny was older. Danny held the knife close to him before going under his bed and hiding the knife under the floorboards. He used his intangibility.
He could keep this one secret from his daddy and Jazz.
"What are you doing under there, kiddo?"
Danny hit his head on the bed in surprise. His daddy had entered Danny's room without Danny noticing.
Papa was getting too good at hiding his presence.
"Nothing, I was just looking for something," he lied while rubbing the top of his head.
"Let me see if you got a bump, chum."
Danny let his dad prod his head.
"Well, there's no swelling. Does it hurt a lot?"
"No, it's already feeling better."
"Good. What were you looking for? Maybe I can help."
"No!"
Danny suddenly felt guilty and looked down at his feet.
Jason stilled. His son was dispelling feelings of guilt.
"Danny, is there something you want to tell me?"
Danny bit his lip before shaking his head.
Jason tilted his head. He knew Danny was hiding something but didn't know if it was a good or bad thing. He could be making something to surprise them later. Maybe he found something that he wanted to keep for himself.
It could also be something dangerous, though.
Jason knelt at Danny's level and touched his son's shoulder.
"Whatever it is that you're...looking for, is it dangerous?"
"No...maybe."
Alarm bells started blaring in Jason's head.
