Shh I'm a secret agent

Chapter 35~Dad?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the door opened there stood a tall man that looked liked Ivan well if he had short spiky hair. He gave us a weird look and I could tell that he was thinking then his eyes grew big and mumbled.

"...Ivan.." he mumbled

Ivan stood there not knowing what to say so I said.

"Dad?.."

He looked at me for a second and then I saw tears in his eyes. He dropped to his knees and just stared at me. I didn't know what to do either hug him or hit him. I had mixed emotions about this...

"You look just like your mother.." he said while hyperventilating.

I looked at Ivan and his face was pale. He invited us in and I had to grab Ivan's hand because he wouldn't move. We sat down on some couches then it was silent until dad said.

"I'm guessing you have questions hija"

I nodded but I didn't know which one to ask first so I went with.

"Did you kill mom?.."

There was a pause.

"I didn't...I loved her..DAMNIT"

He punched the wall which made me flinched then he put his face into his hands.

"why-" Ivan finally said but there was a pause.

"WHY DIDNY YOU COME TO AMA's FUNERAL" Ivan yelled.

"HUH TELL ME ANTONY POR QUE". Ivan yelled as tears welled up in his eyes.

"You know she didn't want me alive or dead so what would be the point," my dad said quietly.

Ivan was quiet for a second.

"She wanted you to come back..she wanted to see you one last time..." Ivan said crying.

Dad didn't say anything but a tear fell from his eye.

"Why did you leave Veronica with those people why didn't you give her to me," Ivan asked coldly.

I looked at dad to see his reaction.

"They were good friends of mine and you were too young to raise a kid hell you couldn't even cook an egg" dad said quietly.

"Well those "good friends" abused your daughter for years!".

Immediately dad raised his head and there was anger in his eyes.

"What!!"

Ivan nodded.

"Her back is filled with scars and bruises.."

I looked down. Dad got up and hit the wall again and he mumbled something in Spanish but he was really quiet so I couldn't hear him then he walked over to me grabbed my hands and started apologizing over and over again which weirded me out at first but I sighed and patted his back. He sat back down and I asked.

"dad do you know who killed mom..".

"No I never found out I've been looking for years to avenge her...she was so beautiful.. nice..and warm her smile could brighten a room," he mumbled looking at the ground.

Dad smiles.

"If only she was here..."

I looked at Ivan and he nodded I sighed and said.

"Dad I have something to tell you.."

"What is it hija?".

"I know who killed mom..".

"Who!!" Dad said surprised.

I looked down.

"my foster dad.."

Dad's eyes widen.

"Michael did this!?..he was supposed to be my best friend..he kills my wife then abuses my daughter...when I find him I'll make him suffer." He says clenching his fist. Ivan looks at dad for a second and says.

"too late he's already dead Veronica shot him."

Immediately dad whirled around.

"Ivan don't tell me she's involved in the family business.."

Ivan looks down but he nodded.

"why would you do that!!," he said angrily.

"One I didn't know she was my niece and two Micheal signed the form".

Dad put his face into his hands.

"she's really good just like.."

Ivan paused not sure if he should finish that sentence but then dad laughed.

"Just like her mother I'm so glad she didn't take after me"

They both laugh then Ivan's phone started ringing and it was Nightmare she started yelling saying where were we and why we were taking so long. Ivan tried to calm her down but it wasn't working so we had to leave or Nightmare will track us down..again..

"Antony we have to leave but well visit again how about tomorrow," Ivan asked.

Dad smiled.

"That would be nice" he hugged us and said goodbye.

We left and for once we felt at ease...
