&CHAPTER ONE& *Daniel's p.o.v* ‘I’ve done my research on the blackbirds’ looks like their next target is Melissa Hansel’ Bryan said. ‘good we’ll head out tomorrow……oh and Bryan before I forget find out everything you know about that girl’ I said ‘what girl’ he asked ‘the girl that was here a few minutes ago…her name is Britney Jordan. From childhood to homeland to her parents to social media even DNA. I want to know every nitty gritty about her……and how she found me’ ‘okay…if I may ask why are you so curious about her she looks pretty innocent to me’ he said ‘yeah she does but no one finds a McAllister that easy…there’s definitely something about her’ I replied. *Britney’s P.O.V* Driving to the nearest restaurant was the only option I had left, food was the only positive thing on my mind. I got to McDonald's ordered large fries, chicken nuggets, mcChicken and a drink. I ate my pain until I was interrupted by a tall not too muscular brunet guy that looked a lot like the young man that interrupted my conversation with my “dad” or maybe it's him. ‘Hey, that's a whole lot of nuggets you've got there’ he said. I looked up to him and said ‘I eat when I’m stressed‘ ‘looks like you're having a bad day…I’m Bryan Johnson by the way……can I?’ he asked pointing at the seat opposite me‘yeah…sure…I’m Brit…’ I tried to reply ‘Britney Jordan…yeah, we met earlier at Mr. D’s place’ he interrupted ‘rude much?’ I said with a raised brow. ‘my bad…I’m sorry’ he replied ‘no problem’ I replied ‘let me make it up to you over coffee sometime’ he offered ‘no need for that’ I said grabbing my bag about to leave ‘can I at least get your number’ he asked ‘sure…of...of course’ I replied as we exchanged phones. ‘I’ll see you around?’ he asked ‘yeah…sure’ I said giving him a fake smile. *Bryan’s P.O.V* ‘Well, she’s got a clean record…’ I said to myself as I sent a copy of Britney’s file to Mr. D. ‘oh s**t!’ I exclaimed as I viewed Britney's DNA result that just dropped in my inbox. …two days later… *Britney’s P.O.V* Arriving home from work, I’m exhausted, all that's on my mind right now is sleep. I got to my doorstep something seemed off my door wasn't locked... I never leave my apartment without locking up. I dialed 911 ‘911 what’s your emergency’ the lady on the phone asked ‘someone broke into my apartment’ I said grabbing the baseball bat I placed behind the front door for emergencies like this. I walked in slowly as I told the lady on the line my location ‘the cops will be there shortly’ she said as I cut the call. Holding the bat with both hands I was extremely scared. I switched on every light as I walked in…I checked everywhere possible it just remained one place …my bedroom…as I walked into my closet a plastic bag came over my head. The psychopath was trying to kill me. I dropped the bat as I struggled to get it off my head. I finally tore it and used my elbow to hit him on his nose at least twice then used my knee on his weak point. I ran over to get the bat when he grabbed me with my hair, I hit my head on the wall, we struggled for at least two minutes till I finally got hold of the bat and used it to hit him as hard as I could on the head he lost balance and just then the police arrived. I crawled to where my phone was and called Bryan. I had a cut on my head due to the struggle ‘Bryan I need your help’ I said panting ‘where are you?’ he asked ‘I’ll send my location’ I said as I dropped the phone and closed my eyes for a second until medical personnel came in and carried me out. I was breathing heavily when they put an oxygen mask on my face. I opened my eyes just to see the guy that attacked me walk out with cuffs on his hand, he gave me a death look that sent chills down my spine. I’ve never been so scared. ‘Ma’am how are you feeling’ the male nurse asked me as he treated my wound ‘I....’ I tried to reply. Just then the questions started ‘ma’am do you have any previous history with the attacker’ the cop asked ‘I don’t even know him, I just moved here about two weeks ago I barely know anyone here’ I told him with every part of my body shaken with fear ‘okay that’ll be all, for now, …thanks for your cooperation’ he replied. It was a matter of seconds when a vehicle pulled over on my driveway ‘who are you’ the cop asked Bryan ‘It’s okay he’s with me’ I said ‘ma’am it’s not advisable to stay here, I suggest you find a hotel or a family member to stay with for the time being’ the cop told me as I nodded. *Bryan’s P.O.V* Looking at Britney she looked pretty scared. She remained silent even after we got to my house ‘the first room by your left upstairs is yours…if you need help concerning anything…I’m here’ I said and all she did was nod and say thanks. I picked up my phone and called Mr. D. *Daniel’s P.O.V* Enjoying a perfect slice of toast I got a call from Bryan. *on the phone* ‘talk to me’ I said, ‘Britney was attacked’ he said ‘ oh…I hope she’s okay’ I replied ‘she’ll be fine…I think’ he said ‘ok…so what does that have to do with me’ I asked ‘do you remember the file I sent to you on Britney?’ he asked ‘yeah?...’ I replied suspiciously ‘well…I missed out one major part’ he said ‘which was?’ I asked ‘well....she's your daughter’ ‘I’ll be there in five’ I said grabbing my jacket and storming out. *Bryan’s house* *Bryan’s P.O.V* Mr. D stormed into my house ‘how long have you known? How sure are you?’ he asked in a serious and scary tone ‘a day or two and this…’ I said giving him Britney’s DNA report ‘Mary…shit…’ he said punching the countertop ‘yo!…calm down’ I said ‘does she know?’ he asked ‘that I’m your daughter…*scoffs* no, no no I came all the way from Minnesota to ask for the money you owe me’ Britney interrupted walking down the stairs. *Daniel’s P.O.V* ‘Look I didn't know Mary was pregnant…she just ran off’ I said ‘ran off? Are you kidding me…she ran off and you didn’t think anything was wrong?’ she said angrily ‘brit calm down he’s still your father’ Bryan said ‘no Bry stay out of this’ she said ‘Britney I didn’t know she was pregnant… it was just once…we dated for about three months then one day she asked me a question and said it was a joke. She asked how I felt about starting a family…I told her I wasn’t planning on starting a family for now that a child at this point is just a burden. We just graduated from high school.’ I said as I sat on a stool. ‘That’s bullshit, she said that and ran off and you didn’t get the hint? Save that crappy explanation for your wife and kid’ she said walking out on me. I grabbed her by the hand ‘listen, young lady, I may not have been there all your life and I’m sorry but I’m still your father a little respect will be nice’ I said as she forced her hand out of my grasp. ‘respect?...I lived an almost normal life in Minnesota then I moved to California to find the only family I had left then two days after finding him I’m attacked by a psychopath that tried to kill me I haven’t made even made any enemies yet you stand in front of me and talk about respect?. Coming to look for you was the craziest thing I’ve done and what do I get in return? A killer. I’m leaving coming here was a mistake’ she said as she walked towards the front door ‘you can’t leave’ I said ‘and who’s going to stop me…you?.. or the pretty boy? I’ll love to see you try’ she replied ‘maybe a bullet hole in your skull will’ I replied ‘and you’re going to put it there or is it him?’ she said ‘no, the same person that sent that psychopath will before you get to the bus station’ I replied ‘and whose fault is that? Huh?’ she said as she walked towards the stairs. ‘when I was much younger I always asked my mum about my dad but she always got angry anytime I brought up the "dad" question I didn’t know why but then I found a way around it, every single birthday I had till now when I was asked to make a wish I always wished for my dad but I guess the saying is right after all be careful what you wish for’ she said with tears in her eyes and went upstairs ‘brit…’ I tried calling her ‘Mr. D…she needs time all this is too much for her to handle at once’ Bryan said and he’s right.
