Harold Finch's Niece(person of interest fan fiction) Ch. 1

Ch. 25

---------Okay, so I thought of giving more of a background story on why Kiley was targeted last at the deli. And I'll make a special chapter on why Angela was targeted by mysertious ski mask man. So just keep a watch :)-------------

The next day around 10 am I was released from the hospital. Shaw was either going to be out later that day or the next day but I was being put on mandatory bedrest until further notice by the hospital. 

Finch left around 1 pm, saying Shaw was being released from the hospital. He was going to bring her home and have Reese and Root keep an eye on her until Reese was needed. Shaw wasn't going to be with the team for a week. As soon as I heard the door close, Finch saying he'd be gone for an hour or so I got out of my bed and went over to his computer cluster.

I had checked all but one computer for information on the machine(I didn't give that up) or why I was actually put in a psych ward. It was all clear except I opened a jpeg image. It was Finch and red-haired women, kissing histemple and holding his shoulder. Finch had on big circular glasses and looked like he was on cloud nine.

It was so adorable. But Finch had no girlfriend or did he?

I kept looking though the files and trying to figure out the mystery woman was. I looked up, only to see Finch looking straight at me. Then it hit me. I was busted, looking at his computer.

"Kiley" he asked real slowly"what the hell are you doing looking at my computer?"

"Trying to find out why you put me in a psych ward."

"I told you, Dr. Smith recommended it. Also why have you missed your last two appointments with him?"

"Well why did he recommend it? And why wouldn't he put me in the next one instead of at the very last minute?"

"I'm not quite sure why..." Finch replied. "But it's still no excuse for you to be looking into my private life."

"Well who is she? How come you didn't tell me you have a girlfriend?"

"Had...she was actually my fiancee..."Finch looked nostaligic. "It's a long story and you shouldn't be out of bed." Finch came over and physically picked me up out of the chair. I protested until someone else came in. It was Reese.

He took me out of Finch's arm. 

"Put me down" I demanded. "I can walk you know."

"Stop protesting Kiley." Finch grabbed my flailing legs with a suprisingly strong grip. They brought me to my room and tucked me into bed. My phone was on the nightstand. Finch grabbed it, putting it in his pocket.

"Hey what the hell Finch?"

"You're grounded Kiley, you don't need your phone."

"Grounded?!" I yelled as Finch and Reese left my room. Finch turned around, stopping in the doorway.

"Yes grounded Kiley Marie Anderson. Until I say so. You're not to leave the house except for appointments. You're also not supposed to be up walking around all that much." Finch turned and limped away.

I turned on my side and sighed heavily. I knew Finch couldn't keep an eye on me 24/7, could he? But I also don't want to piss off the person who's letting me stay with him. 

 I closed my eyes but sleep evaded me.

Some time later, I heard voices outside my door. I listened, it was Reese and Finch sounding like an arguement.

"aren't you going a little too far Finch?"

"No Mr. Reese I'm not. She did snoop on my computer even after I told her not too. She also found out about Grace..."Reese sighed heavily.

I walked to the door, trying to hear more. I did my best to stay quiet. 

"Mr. Reese am I a good parent? Am I doing something wrong?"

"Harry" Root came into the conversaton, "you're a great parent. Kiley's jsut gone through a lot in a short period of time. She loves you Harry. But you are also expecting a great deal from her, something she can't cope with right now." I could hear Finch sighing deeply.

"I have been expecting a lot from her, I put her in therapy and then John Wellington. Oh God I've failed as a parent."

"No you haven't Finch" another lady came into the conversation. Shaw. "You did what you thought was right."

Shaw was right. I shouldn't be acting like this when  Finch is trying his hardest to be a parent to me. All the things I put Finch through came rushing back into my mind. It overwhelmed me. I wanted to run out, hug Finch and apologize but then he'd know I was listening in on thier 'private' conversations.

Root continued, picking up where Shaw left off. "She told me to not be so secretive with Kiley, it's okay to open up to her. That's why she was snooping and tried to storm off back to Tennesee. She doesn't understand why you can trust us with sensitive intel and not her."

That was true. Was Root a mind reader?

I could hear the voices come closer to my door. I scrambled back to my bed and pretended to be fast asleep when my door opened. I heard a limping sound come in.

"Kiley?" Finch asked.

I pretended to wake up like I did at John Wellington. I rubbed my eyes. "Finch?"

"Did I wake you?"

"No it's fine" I said. "I was stirring awake a little anyways. What's up?"

"I was wondering if you are hungry."

"Ummm.... a little why? What are we having or is it classified?" I smiled at my joke. Finch rolled his eyes.

"I was going to make lasagna and green beans."

"My favorite dish" I admitted. "How did you know?"

"Your mother told me once right before she passed."

"Oh...." I replied looking down at the zebra print blanket. "Sure I'll get up but first let me shower."

"Okay I'll start it while you take your shower." Finch left, leaving Root by my door.

"May I help you Root?" I asked, brushing my hair.

"I know you listened in on the conversation."

"So?" I took a look at her.

"You are one curious child" Root chuckled before stalking away. I rolled my eyes and headed to the shower. While in the shower, I thought about the possibility of ski mask guy being out of jail and trying to finish the job up, no doubt he was probably hired by my father. Then it hit me. I knew ski mask guy. He was Angela's possessive, jealous, manipulative, cunning ex boyfriend Michael. He had promised to kill her if she ever left him. Angela left him a week before her death. Then another thing hit me. Angela died protecting me. She caught my seatbelt from hitting my throat even though her seatbelt hit her. That's why I thought about Angela's death when I asked the team what they would do if someone died saving me.

I had to warn them about Michael and tell Dectective Carter and Dectective Fusco about this. Even if that meant recounting Angela's death.
