"Kitten, it's just another game of Hide and Seek," he whispered, crouching down on to his knees to be at the same level as me.                             

" Then why are we whispering?" 6 year old me whispered back, leaning towards my Dad, to hear better.

"because -" BANG. The sound from the kitchen of pans falling echoed it way up to the 3rd floor, where my Dad and I were huddling together. "Dad...what was-." Dad's hand reacted immediately, bring his hand to cover my mouth, silencing me. 

"Shhhh, you know your clumsy mum, dropping everything here and there," he grins, as I let out a small giggle at the memorises. "Now do you want to play that game, or are you giving up already?,"

"Dad," I started, putting both my hands on my hips, and shaking my head in a disappointed manner,"you should know by now, this kitten, has claws." 

"Does that mean you are going to hide now?," I nodded. "Remember, stay only on this floor, don't peek out of your hiding place and don't come out until I find you."

"Yes sir," I saluted then turned around determined to win this game. "Kiera...," 

"Daddy...,"

"I love you," 

"I would say I hate you, but I know your too much of a cry baby, so I won't kill the moment...I love you too Daddy." For some reason, at that moment, my 6 year old self felt the need to run back to my dad, hug him, and kiss him on the cheek, before rushing off to find a hiding place.

Funny how 6 year olds' minds can be manipulated so easily. They way hiding from a serial killer, or a gang as powerful as the Mafia, can be turned in to a simple game of "Hide N' Seek." For some of us, the best time of our life was when we thought that unicorns, Santa and the tooth fairy where out there. For me there was a time like that. In fact there was 6 years of belief in magic and all of that bull shit. Thoses 6 years, were my childhood. I would give an arm and a leg to go back to those times. Too bad Doctor Who ain't real.
