???? Blame It On The Pain TWENTY TWO:
I sniffled and leaned my head against his chest. “I don’t believe your promises anymore.”
He held up my necklace. “You see this? You’re the only girl in the world who will ever have it. I had it made just for you. That’s how special you are to me.”
“Then why are you having another baby? Am I not enough for you?”
He leaned down and kssed my cheek. “I love you more than all the stars in the sky and water in the oceans. From the very first second I laid eyes on you, that was it, kid. I was a goner.” He looked lost in thought as he continued, “I was only 18 when you were born. Your mother and I were barely even out of high school. I was terrified of becoming a father, especially so young. Do you know who gave me strength to overcome that fear?” he asked.
“Who?”
“You did. I will never forget that moment. Your mother was recovering from labor and the nurses left you all alone with me. I started freaking out because I had no idea what I was supposed to do with you and I was sure I was going to screw something up and leave you scarred for life.” He paused and smiled. “I remember talking to you and telling you how scared I was. I was about to have a panic attack, but then your little hand wrapped around one of my fingers and held on. You looked up at me with these beautiful eyes full of wonder and a sense of calm washed over me…and I knew I could do it. I knew we were going to be a team for life.”
He brushed a strand of hair behind my ear. “That’s why I call you goblin. It’s not just because you were born on Halloween. It’s because goblins are scary and frightening. And you were the scariest thing I’d ever come in contact with…but the best thing that ever happened to me. No one could ever take your place.”
He reached for my hand and held it up to his heart. “We have a special bond that can never be broken, goblin. I will love you for all of eternity. You and your mother are the very best parts of my life.”
I let out a hiccup. “I’m sorry I made you worry. I’m sorry for upsetting you. I love you.”
“It’s alright. Let me just make a quick call to Ford and I’ll drive you back home.”
He picked up the phone. “Hey, Ford. Look, something’s come up. It’s a long story. But I need you to distract him for an hour or two and buy me some time if he asks about me. I have to drive back home.”
He lifted me off his lap and gripped the steering wheel. “What do you mean, what am I talking about? It’s happening today. In the next hour to be exact. I heard it from one of his men myself. I tried calling you on your work phone but you didn’t answer. I figured you got the same phone call and you were already here.” He looked ahead and turned the key in the ignition. “Fk,” he said. “I’ve just been spotted.”
He glanced back at me through the rear-view mirror and gritted his teeth. “No, I can’t just drive off. That will only raise their suspicions further. Not to mention, I can’t exactly start a high-speed chase with DeLuca’s mobsters while my daughter’s in the goddamn car!”
“What the fk is Alyssa doing in the car with you right now? Fk this. I’m on my way and I’m sending backup.” I heard Ford’s voice scream on the other line before it went silent.
He swallowed hard and continued to look straight ahead. Nervousness crept up my spine, signaling that something was very wrong.
“Goblin. I really need you to listen to me right now.” My father took a deep breath before he continued. “I need you to go back under that blanket and hide. No matter what you see or hear, understand?”
“Wh-why…what’s going…on?” I stuttered.
“Remember how Daddy helps to put away the bad guys?”
I gulped. “Y-yeah.”
“Well, the bad guys are outside right now. And something very bad will happen if they see you. So, I need you to go back under that blanket and don’t come out until I say you can. Okay?”
“Okay. I will. I’m so sorry, Daddy.”
“It’s okay, Alyssa. I’m not mad at you anymore. Everything will be fine. Ford and some other officers are on their way to come help us. Just do as I say, right now please.”
I went back under the blanket in the backseat, my body shaking worse than a tree in the middle of a hurricane.
“Remember what I said. I need you to be quiet and stay under there. No matter what you see or hear.”
“Okay. I love you.”
“I love you, goblin. Never forget that,” he whispered, right before someone tapped on the door.
He got out of the car and slammed the door shut behind him.
“Nice of you to join us, Graham,” some deep voice sneered. “Or should I say, Special Agent Tanner.”
I heard a few loud bangs and a few more muffled voices in the background.
It wasn’t until I heard my father scream in p ain, that I lifted my head out from under the blanket.
I scrunched down behind the driver seat but raised my head enough to partially take in my surroundings.
We were at a dock of some sort. There were a few dark SUV’s around…..
