"So I need everyone's permission slip for the aquarium. If you don't have it by next Friday, you will not be able to go on the trip. And Mrs. McCartney will be back next Monday!" I yelled over the screeching of chair legs and chatter as the class filed out the room.

I started to clean up any crayons or papers off the floor until I heard a knock on the door.

"Hello auntie" a soft voice said from the door. I lifted my head to see who was at the door, it was my niece Fallon. She is Roberts daughter, he told me he had a one night stand with some girl and she had a baby and gave her to him because she didn't have the money to take care of her she was four years old and was the preschool building right across the street,

      Tammy usually walks her over to the primary building because Tammy is her teacher. I could always do it but Tammy always insisted. She loved Fallon, shes one of her favorites. She raced over to me when she saw me her brown hair in her long two ponytails flopping behind her. She was wearing her black coat but underneath it she was dressed in a purple shirt with denim jeans and her white and purple sneakers. Her hair was brown, with flecks of blonde that showed in the sunlight.

   I hugged her tightly in my arms, she reminded me so much of her father. She had his big brown eyes and his button nose.

  "Come on, come on! We have to get home Doc Mcstuffins is coming on soon, and I really don't want to miss it!" she yelled squirming out of my grip.

     "Okay, okay we don't want to miss doc mcstuffins, lets go "I threw on my black button up jacket and my black gloves and grabbed nina's mitten covered hand. The frosty wind nipped our faces when we walked out the building. I waved to Rocco the security officer, and we walked home. I didn't have a car because I couldn't afford one, being a teachers assistant didn't bring in a lot of cash but it sufficed.

"Guess what auntie" Fallon shouted happily.

"What?"

"A visitor came to our class today" she responded.

"Really for what?" I asked.

"Well, he spoke to Tammy and then she told me to talk to him outside, while everyone went to recess. He asked me some questions like; who I lived with, and who my mother was and my father, and he checked out my birthmark on my back. He also told me to tell you something. He said" she started to talk in a deep rough voice." That he'll see you soon. "she giggled.

      My mouth went dry and my eyes widened was this the person who has been chasing her family? How did they know Fallon was my niece?

"Fallon, Baby." I went in front of her and crouched down to her level. "What did you tell the man when he asked you who your parents were?" I asked calmly, not to scare her.

      "I told him you were my mommy silly, and that it was none of his bee's wax who my father was. That's what you told me to say when somebody asked about daddy."

   She stated like it no big deal, when it really was. When we made it to the house, I immediately called Rob telling him it was an emergency.

      I kept having the feeling this had to do with the man with the dark green eyes from the club. I shouldn't have went last night what was I thinking? Then I heard a knock on the door I opened it and there stood Robert.

"Daddy!" Fallon cried and ran to him stretching her arms out for him to pick her up, which he did and then kissed her forehead and then set her back down. Robert was very tall and had broad shoulders, everyman in my family was. At six' four, he was incredible big and muscular.
"Bub, we have to go for a few minutes, so sit here and watch TV while we go talk okay? He asked. She nodded her head and resumed watching the show quietly,saying the answers to the questions the cartoons asked.

We sat down at the table. "So what's the emergency?" Rob asked. I sighed.

"Today... Fallon, told me that a man came to her class and asked her a few questions" I responded.

"What kind of questions" Rob interjected.

    "He asked her about our family, but specifically asked her about her mother and father " I whispered.

    "He also told her to tell me that he is coming for me" I said. He was looking at me with a worried face.

    " There is something else I need to tell you." I gulped knowing I had to tell him. "I went to a club last night. The Dark Moon to be exact."
