i let out a tired sigh as i land on my office couch. Teresa had her phone back, i finished all the paper work i had to do for Roman, i made a new friend, i got my necklace back with a purple post it note from the ginger guy and i got back the letters i gave pa when i was a teenager.

i ran my fingers threw my hair and sighed. "what am i going to do?" i asked myself. i glanced at my purse which was on my desk. standing up i slowly walk to the purse and grab it. "ginger guy knows something and i need answers" i mumble to myself.

grabbing the purple note, i put the address on my phone again. i'm gonna go to this place but not without protection. putting my purse over my shoulder i checked the time. i can leave. Roman would let me...i did all my work. i could tell him it was a family emergency.

walking out my office i turn off the light and knock on Roman's door. "come in" he said. opening the door i walk in. "Mr. Knight i have to go home, it's a family emergency" i told him. he stood up. "is everything okay?" he asked concerned.

i nodded waving him off. "yes everything is fine, it's Danger he got sick i don't know from what, but i need to be with him" he nodded and sat back down. "yes a dog's health is important after all" i smiled at him.

"thanks, i'll see you tomorrow" he smiled back as i turned and left. closing his door i quickly walk to the elevator. I'm gonna go home and pick up Danger, he will be my protection. if this ginger guy tries anything i won't hesitate to have danger attack, i didn't name him Danger for nothing.

Unlocking my house door, i was greeted by my baby. Smiling at danger i pat my legs so he can stand up. "hi papa, you're coming with me some where and i need you to be on your worst behavior okay" i told him while smiling. he barks and licks my face.

i kiss his head "good boy" letting his front paws go i walk to my room. "josh!" i call out. no reply. i grab my phone and send josh a text to see where he's at. taking off my work clothes i go to my drawer.

"if i'm going to see some strange man who may or may not, know something about my drug addict father, i better change into something i can kick ass with" i told Danger who was right next to me giving me a curious look.

i pulled out a light grey sweatpants with one back pocket, and a dark grey hoodie putting my hair in a high pony tail. i grab my white converse and gesture to danger to follow me.

i clip on his chain leash and open my apartment door. closing it shut i lock it and walked to my car with Danger following. opening my passenger door, i helped Danger get in. sighing i walked around my car to get in the drivers seat.

once i was in, i put GPS on, typing in the address. i leaned over to danger and put his seat belt on. giving him a kiss on his head. he barked and i lowered down his window. "okay lets go" i say to myself and start the car, driving to the location.

i park in front of the building, where i'm suppose to meet this guy. inspecting the place out. it looks abandoned like no one barely even lived here. taking off my seat belt. i got out the car, rushing to Dangers side so he can be with me.

"i'm so glad i brought you" i told danger while taking off his seat belt. he jumped out the car and i held on to his leash. i slowly walk towards the door, ringing the door bell. i give danger a look. "if i say attack, you attack okay?" he barks in response.

the door opens and the ginger guy is staring back at me. "Rachel, I've been expecting you" he said in his thick German or Irish accent. he looked at Danger. "i see you brought your dog" i nod "yes, so don't try anything he won't hesitate to attack you" he put his hand up in surrender.

"of course not, that's not why i messaged you" i crossed my arms over my chest. "so why did you message me? and where did you get those pictures?" i asked. he smirked "i see you have Questions, and like i said in the note i have answers...please come in" he says and opens the door wider for me and Danger to go in.

Danger growls at him and follows me. "please have a seat" i give him a glare and sit down on the yellow couch. Danger sits by my feet on full alert. "so, i have questions you have answers...care to share them" i say impatiently.

he chuckles softly and nods. he sits on the seat across from the couch and puts his leg over his other leg and leans back. "ask away" he says. i sigh. "where did you get those pictures from?" "from your father" he says. i gasp. "so he's alive?" he nods.

i sigh and clear my throat. "okay, he's alive...did he have you follow me as well?" he nods again. "is he here?" i ask. "he's in new York yes, but he's not here in the building" "how do you know him?" i asked.

he cleared his throat. "when your father got sober and clean, he contacted me...i am a P.I, he wanted me to find you and your brother Josh so he can see you guys" i gave him a confused look. "but you've been following me for 4 months, he still hasn't tried to contact us"

he nodded. "he wanted to make sure, everything was okay with you guys first. he wanted me to see how your life is before he comes barging in" "have you been following Josh to?" i asked. he shakes his head.

"your father only wanted me to follow you" "why?" he shrugs "i'm just the messenger" i scratch Dangers head. "when can i see him?" i ask while looking at Danger. he shakes his head "i can't give you a solid answer, he said he will drop by whenever he's ready"

i nod and chuckle softly. "that's pa alright, only wants to come when it's good for him" i sigh than look at the ginger guy suspiciously. "how did you get my necklace?" i asked a little bit scared for the answer.

"that was just pure luck, it fell off your neck while you were walking so i just picked it up and got it fixed for you...giving it to Roman Knight was a perfect way for me to give you the note" i sighed in relief that, that was his answer and not ' i grabbed it while you were sleeping'

i stood up gesturing Danger to follow. "thank you, for contacting me...can you tell my dad that i really do want to see him" he nods and stands up. "of course" i half smile at him and turn to leave. "oh and Rachel" he says.

i turn back around to face him. "i won't tell your father about your relationship with your boss" i gasp. he smirks "yeah i know about that" i clear my throat. "well thanks for not saying nothing" he nods once.

i open the door and leave silently. Danger barks at me. "i know that was weird"
