*** CAMERON'S POV

"Papa"

"Papa"

"Dad"

"Cameron! Hey dude!"

"Hmm? Yes?"

I snap my head up, confused.

"What are you thinking? We've been calling you for a minute now"

Julian asks and I sigh.

"Nothing"

I brush my hand over my face. I look down at Sean to find him staring at me in confusion . I cuss myself. I'd been so deep In my own thoughts I'd forgotten we had gone to pick him up from school and brought him to a movie theatre. He was supposed to be having fun.

"Are you okay dad?"

I lower myself to his height, ruffling his hair slightly.

"I'm fine buddy, why do you ask?"

"You look sad"

he pouts, brushing his small hand over my face. I sigh, taking his hand and kissing his palm.

"No buddy. I was thinking of what movie you wanted to watch"

Lies. His eyes lit up.

"I want to watch 'How to train a dragon'!"

"Uhh"

I look over at the posters pasted around. There was no movie with that title that was to be shown today.

"They aren't showing that movie today Sean

. Uhh look over there"

I point to one of the posters.

"It's 'The Incredibles'. Wanna watch that one?"

He squints his eyes.

"Is that Superman suit they are wearing dad?" 

I chuckle.

"No Sean. It's their own special Superman suit"

"Let's watch that papa"

"Alright. Let me buy some popcorns"

I straighten up, turning to the vendor.

"Excuse me. Can I have a large packet of popcorns please. I want the salt flavored one and any drink you have suitable for kids" 

I run my hands through my hair as I wait for the vendor to finish my order.

"Here you go Sir"

I'm snapped back to reality as I take the popcorns and hand it to Sean.

"Would you like the orange or pineapple flavoured one?"

He asks gesturing to the drinks In his hand.

"Orange!"

Sean answers before I could. I nod at the vendor, taking the drink and paying. I grab Sean's hand with the other hand and turn. Two ladies were standing in a corner, eyeing me. Ugh.. Few months ago, I would have wasted no time in approaching them and flirting with them like crazy. I would even probably be banging them in less than hour. But not anymore. I've got eyes for one woman and her son, our son is holding onto my hand with all the trust any kid could give to anyone they love. So to be polite, I just give a small smile and walk past inside them and into theatre after handing out our tickets. When we settle in our seats and the movie begins, Sean begins munching on his popcorns.

"Are you going to tell me what's been eating you up?"

Julian asks. I knew he wasn't going to keep quiet about it. I glance at Sean. He was deeply engrossed in the movie. I sigh.

"It's nothing Julian"

"You should know who you are lying to Cam. What's wrong, tell me"

"This isn't the right place to talk Julian. Let's get home first and I'll tell you"

He narrows his eyes at me like he doesn't believe me.

"I promise" I add and he sighs, leaning into his seat. The rest of the movie goes by in a blur and by the time I realised, we were out of the theatre and slipping into the car with Sean rambling on and on about how awesome the characters were. Thirty minutes later, I pull up at the front of Julian's apartment. I don't bother to park in the garage. I wait until Julian and Sean alight and head into the house before grabbing the huge heavy box I had kept in the backseat and make my way inside. Skylar wasn't back yet.

"Hey Buddy"

I say to Sean dropping the box carefully on the table. He turns to face me, unbuttoning his school uniform.

"Remember I promised you something?"

He pulls his eyebrows together in thoughts.. "Alright never mind. I got you a surprise"

He gasps

"A surprise?!"

"Mm hmm. Guess what it is?"

"A new toy car?"

I shake my head.

"A phone?"

I chuckle.

"Mummy will kill me if I buy you a phone at this age"

He pouts.

"Show me dad please!"

He whines.

"Alright fine" 

I pull off the thick seal tape and lift the glass container out of the box. Sean gasps and squeals loudly when he sights the gift.

"Papa! That's an.. Aqua.. Aqua..."

"Aquarium. A small aquarium"

I nod at the glass filled with clear seawater. It was a small aquarium, filled with three fishes, colourful seashells and tiny seaweeds at the bottom. Sean rushes to my side, admiring his gift.

"Look at that papa!"

He points to the three small fishes swimming in the glass.

"It's called goldfish Buddy.. They are goldfishes"

"Is it mine papa?" he looks up at me adorably. I ruffle his hair. "It's all yours buddy. All yours"

"I love you papa"

he hugs my legs. My heart lurches.

"I love you more Buddy"

The moment was broken when he turns to his gift, bouncing happily on his feet. "Can I feed them papa? Please?"

I chuckle, pulling out the fish food.

"Sure buddy. But they don't eat pickles or meat. Here, pour some of this into the water and they'll eat. Here, try it"

I hand him the canned fish food which had been made into flakes. He grabs it happily and opens it.

"Do not pour plenty okay? Just a little. Pour it through this hole okay?" 

I point to the hole that had been drilled at the top and he nods eagerly. When I was sure Sean was distracted with his gift, I make my way towards the gym to find Julian. He was already waiting for me when I arrived.

"Are you going to tell me now?"

He asks, sitting up on the bench. I lean against the door.

"Something isn't right Julian"

I say. He frowns.

"What do you mean?"

"How long has it been since we heard from Tracy? It's been more than a week Julian. Aren't you the least bit worried?"

I gather my hair tying it with the band around my wrist as I speak.. I had been so occupied with the court case that I had no room to think of Tracy. Damn me if anything happens to her.

"The device we use to communicate with her hasn't been working for a while now. The location sensor we put on her isn't even showing anything. We can't locate her neither can we communicate with her. To top it all, Park hasn't called Skylar for once in several weeks. Doesn't all this seem off to you?"

He rubs his beard, frowning much deeper.

"Come to think of it, you have a point Cameron. Tracy contacts us at least once every three days but suddenly everything stopped. It's been more than two weeks now. Do you... Do you think.." He trails off, letting the rest of his words hang in the air. I shake my head.. No. No way. I sent Tracy there with the full assurance that she would be fully protected and no harm shall befall her. She accepted this job fully trusting us. No.. I can't let an innocent person's blood get spilled. Knowing Park from what my wife has told me so far, he wouldn't hesitate to behead Tracy and dump her body in an ocean. Park was the type of man who loved to kill in silence. Slowly and silently. If he hadn't contacted Skylar up until now, then he must know something. F*cking Park can't have his way this time. I quickly reach for my phone and just about the same time, it dings with a new message. Tapping on the icon, I open the message.

"F*ck!"

Dammit! F*ck! F*ck!

"What is it?"

Julian flies off his seat.

"Call Skylar and Marie. Tell them to come home. Now!"

"What? Why?"

"Because you and I are going to the arena. We can't leave Sean alone at home"

"Look you're confusing me Cameron. I thought you didn't have any match till next week or so? So why are we going to the arena?".

I pace the length of the room, frustration gnawing at me.

"I don't. But we need to go to the arena. Now."

I hiss

"Will you at least tell me why?"

"Because he knows dammit! He knows.

Read " Daddy's Girl " by the same author ( eliza )

. He knows Skylar has been lying to him all this while. He knows we got married. He knows we sent Tracy to him for information. Hell, I don't know how but he knows everything. Even where we are currently living. And we need to leave right now and put the second part of our plan into motion because Park f*cking Greene has found out everything and he's coming for our heads!"
