" Yes sir ?" Thomas says . Roberto leans back in his chair " Who is the number one person we as a group are chasing ?" Roberto asks . Thomas looks over at me before he looks back to Roberto looking for permission before he speaks in front of me . Roberto nods his head " When Lucy is here she is allowed to know all the business we discuss ." Roberto informs everyone of his men . A guy I haven't met before gasp " Boss are you sure ?" He asks shock clearly written on his face .

Roberto nods " What I say goes . Whatever Lucy wants to know you tell her ." Roberto says Just as I am about to say something my phone rings . I look down and see it's Victor " Sorry I have to take this " I say and Roberto just pull's me on his lap " It's ok I don't mind if you answer it . If you guys will stay silent why Lucy takes this call . " Roberto says . Just as I pick up " Yeah ?" I say " Lucy where are you we need to talk ?" Victor says . " I'm at Roberto's place right now . What do you need ?" I ask him .

"Tell him I am stopping by we need to talk before you read any files you got today . Jimmy wasn't supposed to give them to you today ." Victor says . " I think that's a little late I already read my file . You have a lot of explaining to do . Why did you never tell me ?" I ask him " Roberto Victor is on his way here ." I turn my head and tell him as Victor starts speaking again ." You was never meant to see that file until I was ready for you to know that information ." Victor says to me. " Listen I am pulling up tell Roberto to let his guard let me in ." Victor says before disconnecting the phone call .

" Victor is at the gate . Can you let him in ?" I ask him He nods his head and dials the gate ." I'll have to give you the codes for everything and we will have to get your palm print on file to open certain places inside the house ." Roberto says . I just nod and Roberto turns to his guys just as a knock comes from the office door . " Enter " Roberto says . I stand off his lap when Victor walks in " What is going on boss ." Don asks Roberto .

Victor turns to the guys as he reaches the desk " Have you not told them who she was ?" Victor asks Roberto ." We was just getting to that point when you called and said you was coming . "Roberto says " You all know me as Lucy Heart but you also know me as Ghost just none of you have ever met me until just this moment . So Thomas when Roberto asked you who you was looking for you was going to say Ghost right ?" I ask Thomas as he and all the guys gasp and then stare at me .

" Yes ma'me I was . We've been looking for you high and low for years for Roberto ."Thomas says ."Well you no longer have to look for me I am right here in your face . I am Ghost I will continue to be Ghost for the Mafia and Mob . I will work strictly closely with Mateo Gurono and Victor , but for the rest of the Mafia and Mob I will be a Ghost working in the shadows like I always have . Except now everyone knows who does the dirty work for the Mafia and Mob . " I state to everyone . " Now if you all will excuse us I have a very important subject I need to speak to Lucy about ." Victor says clearly dismissing Roberto and his men . None leave until Roberto nods .

Roberto doesn't leave at all instead he stays in his seat . Victor looks at him expectantly ." He'll stay if that is ok with you . He already knows he read my file ." I tell Victor who takes the seat in front of Roberto's desk . " I am sorry I didn't tell you sooner . I just didn't want your decision to be compromised . " Victor says ." Don't you think you should have gave me that option first before you kept this from me . " I say to Victor .

"I am a grow a*s woman now don't you think I could have handled this ?" I ask Victor . He puts his head in his hands and blows out a heavy breath . " I found you years ago I have always kept an eye on you . I just didn't know if you could handle this lifestyle . Do you know how long it took me to convince the guys in the Mafia and Mob to let me make a person a Ghost inside our organization . I never wanted that person to be you , until I saw you in the alley way that night . I knew then if you could handle them men you could handle your own . I didn't plan on giving you that position but you just fit the part .

I had always planned on telling you it's just the timing was never right ." Victor says . " Well your in front of me now tell me what happened and how you found out ?" I ask him as Roberto is rubbing my leg to soothe me . I think he can sense how tense I am . " Lucy I found out when you was turning six that you was my daughter . I found you when you was sixteen in the orphanage I began making donations to that place . I began watching you from afar and keeping up with your life . I did a D.N.A on the both of us to make sure and it was true . I seen how smart you was I seen how tough you was from your first fight I have never missed any of your fights . I was at your high school graduation . I can't go back in time and change anything and I wouldn't change it even if I could . " Victor says looking up from his hands .

" I would change it if I could I would go back to that day I said yes and change it if I could . I wish you would have told me when you found out that I was your child when I was younger . Are you that ashamed of me ?" I ask him he stands from his chair and comes over to me . He cups my chin " I have never been ashamed of you . I have always been proud of you . I just never had something that anyone could ever use against me until your mother told me about you . Believe me I never wanted to put you in harms way . But I took the opportunity to hire you as Ghost for my own personal reasons . I wanted you close so I could keep an eye on you and get to know you at the same time . I am sorry you found out this way . But I want you to know that I am not ashamed of you . I will gladly tell the world that you are my child if you permit it . I am not afraid of the reprecautions now that everyone knows who you are . " Victor says to me . " I need a minute ." I say walking out the office door down the hallway to the back garden . I need a chance to breath to catch my breath . To read that Victor is my dad is one thing to have him confirm it in person is another thing entirely .

I walk around the garden for a few minutes calming myself down taking deep breaths . I jump when I hear a twig snap behind me . I don't get a chance to turn around to see who it is when I am hit in the back of the head before everything goes black I hear a voice that sounds really familiar . " I got her boss open the door I'm bringing you Roberto's b*tch and Victors whore of a child " I know that voice but before I can place it . I black out .
