In the end we went with something simple. I had the super knock on the door and tell her there was a gas leak in the building and she had to leave. Of course we had to tell the other tenants the same thing to make it look legit but what the fuck. Most of them weren't home anyway; most normal human beings were out getting ready for the holiday. According to the guys who were on her she headed for the mall. I decided to go in alone; the place wasn't that big anyway. I could toss it in an hour tops. I went in and headed straight for the bedroom. Everything was neat and nothing looked suspicious, the computer was sitting on the bed and left on. There was nothing there but some shopping site. She had a cup sitting next to the bed and her clothes were folded neatly on a chair. I opened the closet door and that's where I got my first break, she had three different wigs in there in different shades. Red, black and some crazy looking shit with spikes and colors. What the fuck did she ne
I tried peaking around the corner without being detected but the way the room was built I couldn't see right in. I was going to have to be careful on my next move because I'll probably have only one shot at this. My mind was processing shit like a machine. The only reason Kat would let her get the drop on her was if she had a weapon so whatever I did I was going to have to make it count."Please just let me put her there on the couch she's scared can't you see she's scared? She's just a little baby she has nothing to do with this.""You know what you might be right, it might be fun raising your brat while you rot. Think about me torturing the little bitch every day of her life. Of course that luscious husband of yours and I will have more kids. I think I'll send the stupid little brat to boarding school.""Why are you doing this? You'll never get away with it think about it. Colt knows all about Taylor and what he did""Lies, all lies, my boyfriend would never have touched you an
It was now or never. Kat was scared, I could see she was about to panic and the baby was starting to fuss. I couldn't shoot the bitch in her head because my kid was right there but a knee shot was good enough for what I had in mind. Kat caught sight of me just as I was lining up my shot but my brave girl didn't make a sound. I knew her well enough to recognize the look of relief that came into her eyes. I took the shot just as my little girl noticed me and started to call out for me. The bullet was true, one behind the knee and she dropped with a yell. I was in motion before she hit the ground."Get upstairs Kat and call your dad." I put my knee in the idiot's back and took the gun from her hand as she flopped around in pain. She wailed in anger and tried pushing me off of her and it took all my strength not to strangle her."Get off of me, I have to finish this, she ruined my life, I'm going to kill her." I pushed my knee harder into her back because it was the only recourse lef
It was already turning dark out and everything was quiet. Tomorrow was the big day and the streets were lit up with decorations, people had their lawns and homes decorated like they were in competition with each other for most lights and there was music coming from some houses that were getting the festivities started early. I was tired as shit but all I wanted to do was go home and wake my daughter up if she was already in bed and kiss her all over her little face.Kat and I held hands all the way home with me kissing her fingers every time we stopped for a light."I'm sorry I doubted you Colt, that will never happen again. And I'm sorry about earlier I should've listened even if I thought Carol was in trouble.""Don't' worry about it anymore baby, it's done. Let's just put that shit behind us and enjoy what's left of the holiday." She rested her head on my shoulder her hand still caught in mine. I know it won't be long before she was doing some stupid fuck thing again to make me c
Well crap, Colt had been right again after all, I hate when that happens. He doesn't just come out and say 'I told you so' like us lesser mortals. Oh no, with him it's like being put before a firing squad and playing twenty questions at the same time. And I don't dare roll my eyes either or there will be hell to pay. Thank goodness for that impromptu party last night. That sort of spared me so far from his tongue but I knew it was coming Xmas or not. Add the fact that his Caitie bear had been caught in the middle and the fireworks were going to be flying for sure. I wonder if feigning early pregnancy syndrome would get me off the hook. That was the only time I'd gotten any peace from him and his mess. Then again that wasn't entirely true either. He becomes a whole other special kind of crazy when I'm pregnant, crap. I looked down at his sleeping face; he looked so innocent. The way I imagine the son he swore he'd planted in me a few days ago would when he gets here. I wouldn't
It felt like I'd only just closed my eyes when it was time to get up again. Caitlin was making a racket and demanding attention. Her mom was asleep next to me not moving an inch so it was daddy time. I slid out of bed after kissing my Angel on the head and went after my little tiger. "Morning princess, daddy's here you can stop it now." She had that excited look in her eye like she knew today was a special day. I told them my baby was smart. She knew what was going on. I lifted her out of her crib and cleaned her up before taking her back to my bathroom so I could get a little cleaned up myself before heading downstairs for breakfast. Elena was taking care of Xmas dinner this year but Kat wanted to get over there early so she could help in the kitchen. Last year this time she was pregnant, now we have our little one and if I was right there was another one in there already so it was going to be all about my baby girl this year.I fed her some cereal while having a cup of coffee.
"Mom we're here.""Ooh, where's my sweet girl? Come give nana some sugar." She came running, the baby hog with apron on at the ready. I walked into the house where she had the Xmas music on low the lights on the tree were blinking and there was a mountain of gifts that came into the middle of the room. I didn't have to look to know that more than half of them were for my little girl. The women were already gabbing away about something or the other when dad came into the room."Hey son merry Xmas.""Merry Xmas dad." We exchanged a hug before heading for the couch. Unless mom needed something from outside that was pretty much our spot until dinner. We weren't allowed in the kitchen during prep, which was fine by me. Apparently we only got underfoot and our services were only needed for heavy lifting and fetching."You want some coffee boy?""Nah, I've had enough, where's Carol?""She hasn't come down yet as far as I know. Stacey and Emory should be here any minute. I think Drak
Sometime Later***"Kat what the fuck, what's she wearing?"Oh Mylanta, I've been hearing that same refrain for the past year now."Clothes." And I've been giving the same damn answer for just as long."Cute, either fix it or neither of you are gonna like when daddy goes shopping." I gave him the stink eye because he was being ridiculous but you can't tell him that. Caitlin just turned thirteen and like all thirteen year olds she's starting to assert her independence, at least she's trying to but her dad won't let her. He's going to have a coronary if he doesn't calm down. "Where are your hooligans Colt, why don't you go round them up instead of making me crazy?""My sons are with their grandfather doing who knows what, don't change the subject Angel.""Colt, it's what all the kids are wearing these days there's nothing to get all hot and bothered about."He gave me a glare, which I knew meant he wasn't going to let it be. In the past thirteen years life has certainly been
