Nanny Express

CHAPTER TWENTY ONE

Everything happen in a flash, Astrid was crying while holding on to Sage, whose dress had taken a change in colour from it's original to a dark shade of red.

Paramedics brush past me as I struggle to stay with her
"Open your eyes please" I begged as I watched helplessly as she was being carried away.

The hall the exhibition took place in was a mess, glass , painting and other pricey art piece were scattered on the floor destroyed.

"She's gonna be fine"

I don't know who said that but it did nothing to sooth the fear brewing in me.

"Her injures aren't too severe she was shot in the abdomen and lost alot of blood but she'll be fine" The doctor tell us

Astrid had also been rushed to the hospital not too long after Sage was carried away in a stretcher I noticed that Astrid was also bleeding.

Luckily she and her baby were ok the only thing was that the baby was born premature but she's stable now Damien lost it when he found out that his wife was bleeding.

"Find the fuckers that did this or else you would wish you weren't born" Damien had threatened the police force.

He was scared that he might have lost his wife and daughter and that was the first time I saw the big bad cooperate giant cry.

"You should get some rest I'll watch her after all she is my girlfriend" Ryan says making sure to put enough emphasis on girlfriend.

Ah how could I have forgotten the 'boyfriend'

I simply nod before planting a kiss on her forehead.
"I'll be come back later" I whisper into her ear.

It's been three days since sage was shot, three days since the doctor said she would wake up soon, three days since the culprit had gone missing, three days since I last ate anything.

"Dad is she going to be ok?" Wynn had asked me after I came back from the hospital.

I don't know.

I learnt the hard way that Doctors do not say the complete truth.

That was how I lost my wife in the first place.

I know I should never blame others for the mistake of one person but it was hard not too.

"Dad have you done what I asked" Wynn asks me as I plop down on my bed with her coming in after me.

"Yes but no leads are you sure you saw the park ranger there?" I ask my daughter who saw staring at me and was deep in thought.

I snap my finger in front of her and repeated my question.

"Yes I still have the footage and Miss park ranger or should I say Cherry was in attendance and there were two guests I was sure weren't on the invite list" Wynn airs out pacing in front of my bed

I don't know how she did it but Wynn had been able to tap into the security and retrieve the footage before the police she was also able to tap into the e invites and track every one who had been to the event and found out who attended the event and where they were at the moment.

I was definitely impressed.

"Look at these" Wynn says as she approached me with her tablet.
She brought up images of three people one of which I was sure is Cherry and the other two were strangers to me.

"You see that man with the tattoo sticking out" she asks

"Yes" I answer

I had absolutely no idea where she was headed to with this

"He is Alessio the leader of one of the biggest Italian mafias"

"What was he doing there?" I asked baffled.

"That's what I'd like to know"

Things were getting to serious for my liking I don't need my eleven year old daughter poking her nose into mafia business it's fucking dangerous before I could say anything she spoke up.

"Luckily he's not my focus. It's this other man Peter Weger, he has numerous criminal records and all are bad as his terrible choice of clothes"

"How did you find this out?". I ask her.

This was getting out of hand

"It's called the internet old man keep up" she sassed.

I should be scared because my daughter was freaking me out but I was beyond impress.

"Peter Weger was last seen entering the female bathroom after Astrid and cherry following not too long after. The only issue is that they never came out except for Astrid and Sage and the toliet had a window meaning they most likely escaped through it".

Shit.

"Wynn I have something to tell you" Sam saying walking timidly into the room.

"Not now Sam" Wynn brushes him off as she resumes on her tablet.

"Dad it's important" He says begging me with his eyes

"I'm sure it is" Wynn rolled her eyes getting back to work.

"JUST LISTEN FOR ONCE"

That was the first time I had heard Sam shout his face all red and his eyes narrowed

"What?" Wynn rolls her eyes

"You want to complain that your sensei has no brain or your sparing pathners are weak"

"He just wants to say I was here"
A woman spoke she looked so familiar then it hit me.

"Cherry!"
