Skye Stark's Daughter (Stark's Daughter 3)

Chapter 9

"I'll see you afterschool sweetie. Love you." I say as i kiss her forehead.

"Love you to mummy." She says and races in the school building, her bag flowing behind her. I see a famous singer drop off his twins and another actress drop off her son.

I stroll back to my ferari and climb in. I start the car and drive out of the private primary school.

"Jarvis, ring my dad." I demand and the dial tone echoes in the car.

"Hey Kiddo."

"Im coming over to finalize the missile plans, is that okay?" I ask.

"Yep, that's cool." He mutters.

"I've just dropped Hope off school and Im on my way."

"How's she with Zeke now?"

"She won't go near him, i said he needed to get help to control his anger. He didn't want to at first but i persuaded him." I explain.

"Good girl. I'll see you in a bit." He replies and puts the phone down.

I pull into his driveway, lock my car and walk inside. My dad is wearing a wrist brace and has the Iron Man palm booster on.

"What are you doing?" I question.

"Just testing the power on this." He admits, putting his palm in the air and i watch as a blast escapes it and smashes through the window.

"That is bullet proof glass. He mutters.

"Was." I correct.

"Who's Zeke going to see for help?" Dad asks, taking the brace off.

"I don't know, a anger management person?"

"I watch that show."

"What show?"

"Anger management." He laughs.

"Oh, Haha." I sarcastically laugh.

"Lets go finalize these plans." He says, walking down into the basement.

"Heard anything?"

"Nope. The thief obviously doesn't know what the pill does." Dad suggests.

"Then why was it the only thing they took. Look at this house, someone breaks in and the only thing they take is a pill. That doesn't sound right, that sounds like they've been watching you." I point out.

"Don't tell Pepper that."

"What's this?" I ask as i pick up a file filled with photos of flowers on beautifully decorated tables.

"Centerpieces for the wedding."

"You're already planning it? Me and Zeke waited six months."

"Pepper is ecstatic and Im ecstatic because she's happy."

"Aww." I mumble, smiling.

I start the car and head to school,my phone vibrates and i put it on speaker.

"Hello?"

"Hey, babe." Zeke mutters.

"Hey."

"I've just spent an hour with a anger management specialist."

"Im proud of you. How did it go?"

"It went good. I don't have a serious problem, i have a mild anger problem."

"You're brave for doing this. Well done." I reply.

"Do you want me to pick Hope up?"

"It's okay, Im nearly at school. What do you want for dinner?"

"I'll get it."

"Okay, I'll see you when we get home, I love you."

"I love you too." He replies and puts the phone down.

I park the car and all the children are out already, i scan the crowd for Hope but i don't see her. I wait for five minutes, after all the children have gone and she's no where. I march up to the teacher who is stood by the door.

"Hi, has Hope come out yet?" I ask.

"Her uncle picked her up, he said that was okay with you." She explains. James didn't tell me he was picking Hope up, he would have told me. I pull out my phone and dial his number.

"Hello, Skye." He says.

"Did you pick up Hope from school?" I ask.

"No, why?"

"She's not at school and the teacher said her uncle picked her up." I explain.

"I didn't. Do you want me to come down and look for her with you?"

"No, its okay." I mumble as i end the call.

My heart beat pounds in my head. I march back up to the teacher.

"Hope's uncle does not have her. Who the hell did you give my daughter to?" I shout.
