Robert drove the van through torrent upon torrent of rain. The weather would not stop his plans to reunite his family. They would be together once again, and this time they would stay together.
He heard movement in the back of the van and deduced that Leah had woken up. “Rise and shine princess.”
“Where am I?” Leah asked. Her eyes slowly adjusted to the light. She still felt the aftereffects of whatever the man had held over her mouth and nose.
“You’re in my van, and almost to your new home.”
“New home? Listen mister…”
“Don’t take that goddamned tone with me, missy. I’m your father. You will listen to me.”
She realized that she had struck a nerve in this man. Her father? Could this man really be her father? Why would he do something like this? She felt scared for not only her safety, but the safety of her child as well.
“We’re going to be a family again. Your mother took you away from me. But, I have you back now. All of my kids. My wife will join us too.”
“Your… wife?”
“You met her. Virginia. I’m going back for her tomorrow night.”
Leah felt dizzy so she lay back down to rest her head. The man looked at her a couple times but didn’t say anything.
ahh why did this have to be so short?! I cant wait to read the rest.
yeah, it is kind of short, but hey at least you’re another chapter closer to the end of the story.
glad you like it.
