Daughter of S.H.I.E.L.D. Extractions Book 2

Exploring the World

We all walked back onto the bus when Dad pulled me aside. 'I am truly proud of you, I was just worried sick about you. Please don't do that again.'

His voice is panicked but tries to remain calm.

'I'm sorry. I just wasn't going to let Quinn get away.' I explain

'I know. I am really proud of you. I never knew you could do what you did back there.' I smile and am about to walk off when he pulls me back. 'You do remember what's happening tomorrow, don't you?'

'Honestly, I don't even remember what I had for breakfast. Don't he surprised, I was hit over the head.'

He sighs and laughs at the same time 'I'm getting married tomorrow.'

I stood there feeling really guilty. 'Yeah, OK. I completely forgot about that. And do I have to where that ridiculous bridesmaid dress?' I hate wearing dresses.

'Talk to Maria.' He says and walk up the ramp and out of sight. I had honestly forgotten about Dad and Maria's wedding. I had so many other things on my mind. And it had been postponed at least three times. It was finally going to happen.

When we arrived back in New York, I got off the plane to be greeted by Kayt. 'Katrina Elizabeth Naomi Stark, you and I have to talk.' She laughs.

'What is there to tell me you haven't already told me over the phone? You told me everything.' It's true, I did.

I throw my self down on my bed and close my eyes. Tomorrow I would have to wake up early to get into a tight dress that squeezes me like a pimple. It's too tight.

I don't have to sleep to dream. I can see a face. It's familiar. But I can't name it. The blue green eyes, the dark hair. It's the same face that appeared when the voices did. Who is he? I open my eyes and sit up in bed. My dog, Pippin jumps up on my lap and curls up into a brown and white ball of fur.

I lift him from my legs and hold him in front of my face. 'What am I going to do, huh boy?' I sigh in anguish. I can't stay. I have to go now. I know it means missing my Dad and Maria's wedding. I decide to leave a note on my bed. Some one will come to wake me in the morning. But I'm not going to be here though.

Dad

I'm sorry about this, but when I was a child you always told me that when the time came I would have to do what I knew was right not what I thought was right. Well I have to tell you that what I am doing, I am doing what I know is right. There are these voices in my head that keep telling me thing, and I think it is time I listen to them.

I am leaving SHIELD for a while but I will be back. I promise.

I love you so much

Jaimie

He will understand. I hope.

But this is my choice. I'm not a child anymore. I have the choice to do what I want to do. And I want to go to France. Luckily I speak eleven different languages other than English. I speak Russian, French, Japanese, Latin, Mandarin, Malaysian, Portuguese , German, Swedish, Castilian Spanish and Italian.

I was going to try to find who this man was. And I will one day.
