"Mengele you're eight, now answer me, where did you hear about these people?""Around!" I distinctly remember erasing that email from her sister's computer and the only time I ever mentioned it to anyone was in the privacy of my office on the phone. I was waiting for her little ass to go to sleep before Mancini broke out his equipment but I didn't know it was this bad. I don't care how smart she is, I don't want my eight year old kid knowing about this shit. I'll bench that for later, right now I was more interested in the chart she had outlined on the paper. "Explain this to me, what's all this?" She climbed into my lap and worked the creases out of the paper. "This one on the top is the master group, they've been around the longest. These two are the main branches and these others down here are all the branches that are all over the world." My eight year old kid had made a chart of the world's foremost underground hellfire clubs. She went on to explain how s
"Caitie, what's gotten into you?""Nothing...yet." Oh shit, she straddled my hips and pressed her soft heat down hard against my growing hardness. I gritted my teeth and warned myself to take it easy. No way am I taking her virginity in a truck. I'd barely eaten a quarter of my ice cream sundae when Miss. Hot to trot decided it was time to go. I thought she was mad at me for not agreeing with her and wanted to head back home, but instead found myself in a parked truck in the only place in town where everyone knows all the teenagers go to make out. "Caitlin!" I knew what she was up to before she turned off the truck and pocketed the key, but I had no idea that she was going to go this far. I've been eyeing the clock since we left the house. Now I find myself trapped between her wants and her father's expectations. She didn't give me much time to think because she took my head in her hands and her lips came down on mine, her tongue slipping past my lips before I
He's so mature, I always knew he was more advanced in his thinking than most boys his age, but I've never heard him speak quite like that. And he's right, just what has gotten into me? Have I been kidding myself all this time, telling myself that I was fine with the way things are? Or am I subconsciously afraid? Is that why I'm acting out? Because I'm afraid that I don't know how to be around him now that we've both grown up? It's one thing to talk on the phone, when he's not there to touch me, or look at me with those eyes that seem to melt. Am I testing him, is that it? I don't want to go against daddy any more than he does, so why in the last few hours have I been pushing him to? I need to get away from him so that I can think clearly. I'm so confused, all these new emotions are playing havoc with my mind, not to mention what they're doing to my body. My hormones seem to have been awakened all at once. He reached over wordlessly and took my hand as he drove.
Her concoctions in the lab hadn't done it, but the fact that her eight year old ass had pulled one over on me is an eye opener. Hank was going through her computer and playing with his toys. "This is amazing!" He said that shit like three times while I sat there wondering how the hell I was supposed to keep her out of my shit. "You can go Catalina but we're not done here." She took her shit and left."Can you fix this? Is there a way to keep the little shits out of my computer?""Yeah, but I'll have to have a look at her computer again, or talk to the kid. "Three little girls Hank, playing around with this shit." He was already on his little hand gadget. "I found her. Nia Chan, Asian, born here to Chinese parents, both computer scientist. We're fucked. She built her first computer when she was five." "How come you don't look fucked?" He had a big ass smile on his face."This is good this is very good. I'll be right back I need to make a call." He left befo
I sat in my room on pins and needles. Todd had gone to daddy's office while I went to my parents' room to give aunt Cierra her ice cream after putting away the case of baby food mom had wanted. I tried to talk him out of it but he said it was the right thing to do. Now he's been in there going on twenty minutes. Catalina had been with uncle Hank when we walked in and the boys were in the garage as usual tinkering with their bikes so I'm left alone with my thoughts. Even Cody had deserted me seeing as it was way past his bedtime. I heard the knock on my door and sat up thinking it was Todd. "Come in." Catalina peeped around the door before stepping in and walking to the bed. She had that look on her face like she was up to something she shouldn't be. It was only then I remembered the piece of paper and reached for it under my pillow. It was gone. "Oh no sis, the paper you gave me is gone.""I know, daddy found out about it, but that's not why I'm here." I start
"I called you two here because we've got ourselves a problem."What did you do now? Elena finally grow tired of your shit and kicked you out the house?" I'd called Cy and Drake in for a meeting in my greenhouse. I have to do it out here even though it's hot as hell because I don't want my wife and her meddling friends in my shit. My boy has a problem and I know it must be weighing heavy on his mind for him to come to me with it. The little shit hasn't done that since he was about five. As a grandfather you want your kid to grow up and have kids who'd put them through the same shit they put you through, but poor Colt has bitten off more than he can chew. Little Catalina alone is more than enough to send the poor boy wonky. "No you tool, this is about our granddaughter.""I told you the Feds were gonna catch on to you two.""Drake put a cork in it. This isn't about Catalina, it's Caitie." "What about Caitie?""Her little friend is back.""Who Tod
The boy looked from him to me, and gave his head a little nod after he seemed to come to a decision. He dropped back into the chair looking pissed all to hell and refused to look in Mancini's direction. "Might I ask why you're so mad at me? It's not as if I put her in the book." When did this fucker become a high born Englishman?"I know you didn't put her in the book but all this time I've been asking you if she was in danger. You had me going out there protecting other people while my girl is in trouble? That's fucked up even for you." "And had I told you back then what you wanted to know, what would you have done?""I..." He opened and closed his mouth a few times before slumping back in his chair."Precisely, now sit back and listen..." *** That had been the conversation the three of us had been having before they both left my office a little bit later. Just minutes before she walked in. I'd been sitting there bemoaning the fact that it felt l
I watched the two of them leave and sighed long and hard before taking my seat again. My wife came waltzing in seconds later. I was about to send her ass packing because I needed a break but the look on her face had me jumping out of my chair. "Kat what the fuck? Who fucked with you?" I knew it couldn't be one of our kids because they know better. She shook her head and walked into my arms, putting arms around me. Now my wife has a lot of moods, she can be a pain in the ass, which is my mood of choice. If she's griping at me about some shit then I know she's okay. When the kids piss her off she goes into a cleaning frenzy. But this, this one I've never seen. "Kat?" I caressed her hair and hugged her closer with the other arm. "Baby, what happened?""I just got off the phone with Mrs. Henderson.""Who?""Todd's mother." "Yeah?""I told her that Todd had to stay here tonight since he came a week earlier than expected and the cleaners haven't been round to
