Chapter 1

Beep beep beep

It was a foggy Saturday morning. Cold and dreary in his small home. It was lonely with out them. His wife had left him because he couldn't seem to get his head straight with his little bunch of misfits. He brought his hand down his face rubbing the sleepiness out from his eyes. After the rough night of trying to figure out the enemies plans on what they were planning to do? It was torture not knowing what they could do next.

He then Heard a knock on the door.

Who the hell would knock on my door at 9:30 in the morning? and I'm not that famous anyways. So who would do that? He thought annoyed. He twisted his body to get off the bed and walked to the door. Scratching his scruffy beard. He opened the door and there was a man there wearing a suit.

What the hell is he doing playing dress up this early in the morning?

Levi then looked the man up and down as if to try and size him up.

"Levi Hawthorne?"

"That's me. I'm not exactly a charmer at nine in the morning but today's a special day. Now hurry up on your whatever news." He said waving his hands in the air.

" We have some good news about your daughters car accident." The man started out.

"What the hell? How is this lead to good news huh? Bringing it to me like that? You can do a hell of a lot better than saying it like that. Now, I'm going to shut this door and we're going to start from the top. Come on lad you can  do it properly." He said. The man groaned in annoyance but he complied as he shut the door. He chuckled under his breath, as he heard the man knock once again. As he opened the door the man was still in his same stance as he was when I opened the door. Same serious expression.

"Levi Hawthorne?"

"That's me. Now. I heard you had some news that you wanted to tell me?" He asked while raising an eyebrow.

"Yes I do, sir. This news connects with your daughter, who had passed away recently. And it seems like you have a granddaughter Levi Hawthorne."

He stilled. My daughter didn't have a daughter of her own. That's impossible. She must've really loved that man she was going to marry.

"How the hell did this happen? And how did I not get notified of this right after the car accident?"

"It was my fault Levi." A woman's voice that was all too familiar to him. The man stepped out of the way to reveal what was behind door number one.

"Alright. Now that you've revealed door number one what's door number two?" He said. He wasn't in any mood to see her again after she left him. He still loved her but after he wasted his life, she got a divorce because she wanted a break from him.

"Door number two is still me Levi. Stop being a jackass and start being serious. This is our Granddaughter we're talking about. I can't take care of her because I'm flying out to Atlanta. So it's your job to take care of the child." She said.

"Annie. I really don't have time for her. Because of you know what! I don't want to give that up for a child!" He snapped.

"Levi please. She needs a loving home that is part of her blood. She needs you Levi." Annie begged him to take her.

Levi groaned. He didn't need a child in his life. Even if it was his own blood. The child would just remind him of his daughter.
