Ch. 17 I can't

4:55 p.m.

Nighteary's POV

I was watching re runs of Sponge bob when I heard someone knocking at my door. I was in shorts and and in one of Justin's shirts. I hope it wasn't anyone that I had to be proper around.

I open the door to Mr. Brockman.

"Hello Nighteary, may I come in?" What the hell is he doing here?

"Um- Yes come in." I move out of his way and allow him in and close the door behind him. He takes a seat on the couch and I sit on the couch across from it.

"Sorry about my clothes, It's just a lazy day. Anyways why are you here?" I ask.

"Well I talked and talked to the higher authorities in the government for you. I have been sticking up for you. They won't lock you up. And they'll leave you alone. Unless you start another World War." This is pretty good news...

"Awesome! Thank you.." I tell him.

"And they wanted me to ask you if you'll come back." What? Work for them again? I used to be a spy and they sent me all over the world to spy on big operations. Whether it was major drug dealers, or other countries weapons and armies, or anything. I did whatever they said. But I can't do this now. My baby girl is waiting for me along with Harry. I'm done with spy work.

"I'm sorry but I cant. That's risky work and I can't take any risks right now." I inform him.

"You used to not care. Why can't you now?"

"Because I'm done taking risks, I've almost died to many times but I've been lucky. Sooner or later my luck is going to run out."

"Hmm. Well okay then. It was nice speaking to you Nighteary but I got to go." He says standing from his seated position.

I stand from my recent position as he walks to the door and opens it. Before he leaves he says what I had predicted he would say except for the last word.

"Thank you for your time Night." He used my nick name. He hasn't used it in years. At least since I stopped working with them. It surprised me. He must be warming up to me.

"Bye!" I say right before he closes the door.

Maybe I should have pondered on his offer. Maybe I should have worked for the government again. But it's to late now. Plus I have to keep myself safe for my family's sake. I can't go and put my life at risk.

I can't.

I won't.

Because what if in the future me and Harry have another child and Me, Harry, Lacy, and the possible addition to the family could be a happy, functional, care free family.

Just maybe.
