The Crow; Chasing The Moon

6) Daddy Finds Out

One Month Later/Haunted Museum

Jay- We were filming for our Halloween Special or at least attempting too when Dakota's phone kept going off.

Aaron- (Snickers) Cutting the feed and lowering my camera.

Billy- We all look at the poor boy who is beet red. (Shakes Head)

Zak- Leaning back in the chair I'm perched in as I look our youngest member up and down. "Dakota, you know the rules...no phones when filming."

Dakota- Having cut the feed as I lowered the camera to the floor beside my feet. "I am so sorry, I swear I turned it off." Pulling out my phone, I was just about to turn it off when Zak stopped me.

Zak- Holding out my hand. "Let me see your phone, I want to know who is interrupting us."

Dakota- My eyes widen to saucers as I look down at the notifications on the lock screen, seeing they are from Briar. (Mutters Lowly) "Fuck..." Not wanting my boss mad at me anymore than he is, I hand him my phone.

Zak- I take his phone and unlock it as I pull up the messages from whoever dares to interrupt us. "What the Hell!" Seeing who they are from, I go all the way back to the beginning from when they started and take my time to read them.

Jay- We all set down our gear and patiently waited on Zak whom took thirty or so minutes to read through Dakota's messages from the mystery person.

Billy- It wasn't unusual for Zak to take our phones and go through recent calls an texts but from the look on his face as he read the messages the kid did something he wasn't supposed too.

Aaron- Walking up to the kid whom seemed firmly rooted to his spot. (Whispers) "What did you do?"

Dakota- Nervously biting my nails as Zak took his time to read every message between Briar and I. I look at my idol in legit fear, not able to answer Aaron as Zak practically spills the secret I've been harboring the last couple months.

Zak- Slowly getting up from the chair with his phone on hand, I stalk towards him. "You are dating my daughter!"

Dakota- The look he wears is unreadable, but his eyes are a pitch black. (Nods and Stutters) "I should have said something, when she told me...I didn't know until about a month ago." I quickly move back and doing so hit a bookshelf behind me as I grasp unto a shelf digging my nails into the dark mahogany wood as if it's gonna save me from being buried twenty feet under. "Please don't kill me!"

Zak- I slowly follow the boy highly amused by the reaction I had garnered. (Growls Lowly) "You hurt her in any way and I will make your life a living Hell, do I make myself clear?" Reaching up I shove his phone to his chest. Turning suddenly, I leave the room as I pull out my cell and dial an all too familiar number.

Dakota- Trembling I barely grasp my phone before it falls to the floor. (Gasps) Not able to stand anymore, I fall to the floor in a shaking heap.

Aaron- Now that the secret Dakota has been hiding comes to light, Zaks reaction is more understandable. (Chuckles)

Billy- (Shakes Head) "The girl you've been dating this whole time, has been the Dark Princess? Why haven't you said anything?"

Jay- Walking over to the beyond scared teen, I help pick him up off the floor. "We could have helped to prevent this you know. If you had told us..." Pausing for a moment before I continue. "And he's not mad, not really. He's happy it's you and not someone else that holds his daughters interest. He likes you that much Dakota, he's just upset he was left in the dark."

Dakota- (Huffs and Nods) "He sure does have a strange way of showing it."

Aaron- (Laughs) "Well not for nothing, it's the Dark Princess."

Dakota- Running my fingers through my hair. "Ya, I got that."

Billy- I notice the boy looks towards the door, that Zak had disappeared through. (Smirks) "He's having it out with Nick."

Dakota- Glancing at Billy rather confused. "How do you know?"

Aaron- (Smirks) "Because, we know the Dark Princess and she's known to get her mamma into heaps of trouble."

Jay- (Shakes Head Fondly) "You just had to fall for a bad girl didn't you?"

Dakota- (Chuckles Awkwardly) Their bemused looks didn't go unnoticed. "She might take after Zak more than Nick, but to me she is perfect."

Billy- (Chuckles)

Aaron- (Snickers) "She's got you whipped!"

Jay- We begin cleaning up as filming for the special is gonna be postponed. "You boy are in for a wild ride."

Zak- Walking back into the room, I find they had packed up all the gear. (Smirks) "I hope none of you have plans because we are going on a little trip." I gesture for them all to follow me.
