Screaming is all I heard when I shot out of bed the next morning and ran to my daughter's room.
When I ran in I saw her sitting up right fraling around with a bat in her hair.
“HOW IN THE HELL DID A BAT GET IN HERE?!” I yelled.
“I DON'T KNOW DADDY. GET IT OFF!” Mikayla yelled.
“Hold on princess I'll get it.” I said after calming down. I grabbed a dirty towel from her laundry basket and covered half of her head with it where the bat is.
“Ok calm down I have the bat in my hand under the towel. I'm gonna gently free it from your hair, just sit still and keep calm.” I said gently.
“Ok.” Mikayla said.
And with that I slowly started to detangle the bat from my daughter's hair.
“Is everything ok in here?” Abigail asked.
I looked behind me to see the whole family at the bedroom door to Mikayla’s room.
“Somehow a bat got inside and got itself stuck in Mikayla's hair.” I said.
“A bat?” Abigail asked, now alarmed.
“Yes, a bat.” I said as I got the bat free.
“Mikayla, go with mommy and get your hair washed and brushed.” I said.
“Ok daddy.” Mikayla said getting out of bed and over to her mom as I walked outside since the sun was barely peeked. And the bat can go back to where it came from to sleep.
Once I was off the front porch I sat the towel down and made sure it wasn't covering the bat and stepped back in case it got stuck again on the towel.
I saw it crawling around then taking flight into the air.
I grabbed the towel and threw it away.
“Dad, I think I know how the bat got in.” Jaxson said.
“How buddy?” I asked.
My son grabbed my hand and took me to our attic and pointed up.
“See that hole next to the door?” Jaxson asked.
“I see it but how did that hole get there?” I asked.
“No clue that hole was there since the day I moved in.” Jaxson said.
“I’ll get that patched up when the sun is up, for now I'll stuff something in there so nothing else comes in through the hole.” I said and walked off to find something to stuff the hole with.
Just as I grabbed an old wash cloth we keep for washing oil and grease off our hands my phone rang. I grabbed it off my bedside table and saw Danny calling.
“Hey Danny what's up?” I said.
“The hospital with called Jane Doe. I told them they had the wrong number but they told me they couldn't get ahold of you or Ty so I'm guessing they got your phone numbers wrong. So I told them I'd call you. They woke me up. I have to be up for the tornado thing that starts in another 6 hours. I'd like to get some more sleep and breakfast.” Danny said, his voice heavy with sleep.
“Alright, thank you for letting me know. Ty was up all night dealing with the company and Mafia so he probably had his phone on silent so he could sleep. Mikayla woke me up because a bat got in the house and stuck in her hair. The poor girl was screaming bloody murder over it. Woke the whole house.” I said.
“Oh no. Is she ok?” Danny asked.
“She is fine, got the bat out of her hair and released it back outside. Now I have to patch a hole next to the attic doorway where we think the bat entered.” I said.
“I'm glad she is ok. She probably will have nightmares about it. But go patch the hole and call the hospital. I'm going back to bed.” Danny said.
“I will and good night you and Daisy have fun. Maybe next year you guys can join the tornado function with the search and rescue program you will be opening up.” I said.
“Yeah, that would be cool. They are letting us take Daisy into the convention. They saw how we were training Daisy when we got to the hotel and asked why we were doing it. So we told them about the search and rescue program we are opening. Along with our lab and they seem fascinated by it.” Danny said
“That's awesome, that just means you will have to take a few dogs along with a presentation on why the dogs were added to the search and rescue for tornado victims.” I said.
“Yeah. After the convention I'm gonna buy a whole new camera and GoPro. I'm gonna mount the GoPro onto Daisy to get her POV and mine for the presentation.” Danny said.
“Sounds like a good idea. Once we start building we can take pictures of the progress of the state of the lab. Once it's finished and full of equipment we will take pictures of that to add to the presentation as well.” I said.
“I like that idea. I'll add that to my todo list.” Danny said.
“Alright get some more sleep. We will talk more about the presentation when you get home.” I said.
“Alright bye boss.” Danny said.
“Bye Danny you guys have fun and stay safe.” I said.
“Will do boss.” Danny said and we hung up.
I set my phone down and grabbed a ladder and then temporarily blocked the hole. Then claimed back down.
I put the ladder back and sat down when the baby was put into my arms.
I looked down to see Kimi in my arms. My second princess.
“Hi princess.” I cooed and gently kissed her forehead.
I then slowly pulled my phone out my pocket yet again and called the hospital in West Virginia. Liddy personally delivered Ty’s DNA down to the hospital where Jane Doe is to put a rush in the DNA test.
