The Backbone

Chapter 50

Tommy's POV

The day Edna went missing was a nightmare for me. I didn't think I Would get my daughter back but luckily Addy and Tim had the idea to search for her phone.

I went on to find my Iphone app and searched for her phone.

I found it not far from where we were in what looks to be farm land. Addy told me to keep it on and watch it so he could show the police when they turned up. I did as he said and just let Addy and Tim deal with Andy. I will be lucky if I let my daughter see him again after this.

After the police turned up they got all the details they left to get a detective and we all drove to the abandoned farmhouse and just stayed out of sight until the police turned up.

It got the better of me about an hour later and I crept over to an old shed that was used for wood. I saw that I could see a bit better and was about to turn around and motion to Addy but as I do I see him behind me. I said to him you can see better from here. He nodded his head and said I think she might be in that room with the darkened windows as I thought I saw her peek out a bit.

The police finally turn up and they break the door down and we see Dr Knob sitting there watching television. Adam runs up and punches him and I am straight behind him.

I follow Adam upstairs and see a room that the police are in and I walk in behind Adam and I see my daughter sitting there on her phone watching something. I cant help but run up to her and pull her into my arms. Adam is behind me in an instant and he pulls both of us into his arms.

I'm so glad that my daughter is okay.

They took her to the hospital with Tim as he only came with us to find Edna and I could see it took a toll on his body as he was leaning against Ant which I know is the other way around. Ant is always in Tims arms the way I am with Adam.

We went back to the hospital the minute we had finished with the police. It was a relief to hear them tell Adam that he will be expedited back to America after he is charged here and won't be allowed to return.

A few days after we found Edna I noticed that she sat there and was very sad at times and I think that the whole ordeal she went through really took a toll on her mental health. I try to ask her but she just replies with Im tired, don't worry about me.

I let it go for a few days as I thought she could, but the day she went shopping with Andy I noticed she still sat there when she got home. I think she might be depressed. I know all the signs and that's what my daughter is showing.

I go to find Adam so I can tell him.

I find him in the office working on something. I knock on the door and say babe sorry to disturb you but I think our baby girl is depressed and I'm worried about her. Adam looks up and says it's ok babe I will ask her when I have finished here and I will book her an appointment if need be. I nod my head and say ok sorry.

About an hour later I was in our room just strumming my guitar for a bit after I cleaned it. I heard a knock on the door and looked up and saw Edna standing there, I say hey baby girl are you ok. She nods and says yeah can I talk to you for a minute though. I put the guitar down on the floor and pat the spot beside me and say sure come sit next to me. She comes and sits next to me on Addy's side of the bed. She looks at me whilst twisting her hands around and she says Dad I think I might be pregnant as I still haven't gotten my period and I'm really worried. I pull her into my arms and say ok we will get you a test or take you to the doctors and I think this time we need to tell your papa. She nods her head and this voice says too late I already heard and I'm going to kill Andy. He is lucky I'm still letting him see you and he goes and does this to you. I pipe up and say babe please settle down and come and sit down. We need to explain this to you.
