A/N

Guys we hit it Chapter 50!!

Enjoy :)

Jai P.O.V.

"Daadd come onn why won't you let me help you with this casee? You know I want to be like you when I grow up, so I need practice and experience as early as I can."

"Pleeassee dadd." I pleaded with my hands sticking together.

Dad shook his head, "No Jai, I've told you this a million times."

"This case is way to dangerous for you to be involved. Ok, my boy? Now go eat breakfast."

I crossed my arms, "But don't you want to be proud of your son in the future?" I looked away and heard a chuckle come from him.

"No matter what you do in life Jai, Ambien and Nina Leonis will always be proud of you."

"Every step of the way." His big hand ruffled my hair.

"But-"

"Nope."

"BUT-"

"NOPE."

Dad walked up to me and placed his hands on my shoulder, "Jai. This case isn't like the normal ones I usually take. If I brought you with me, both our lives would be at risk."

"And I don't want to see my son dying before I do."

"Now, I'm going to say this for the last and final time," he sternly spoke,

"You."

"Cannot."

"Come."

Dad stared into my eyes.

I slowly nodded.

A tiny smile formed on his lips.

He wrapped his arms around me, "Trust your father, Jai." He rubbed my back.

"I love you my boy."

"I love you too." I mumbled.

"Wait what was that?" Dad joked and put hand to his ear.

"I love you too ok." I spoke out.

Dad laughed ruffling my hair once again, "Be happy, your dad was told to rest today. I can spend all day with you, and the rest of the family!!"

"Now imma go eat some breakfast that your amazing mother has made." He smiled and left.

Hours later...

We decided on having a Harry Potter marathon.

Everyone was munching on popcorn when we heard ringing.

Specifically Dad's work phone.

He immediately got up and answered,

"Ambien," he spoke.

We didn't know what was going on,

but by Dad's expression,

something was up.

Dad ended the call and rushed to his bedroom.

In minutes he came out wearing a regular outfit.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Mom asked.

"They found the girl." Dad spoke.

Mom gasped.

Me, my brother and sister were extremely confused.

"Wait what girl? What is dad talking about ma?" we asked.

Ma glared at the 3 of us, causing immediate silence.

Dad leaned down, pecking Mom. "Be safe. I love you."

She whispered. "I will. I love you."

He walked to where me and my siblings were, hugging all of us, "I love you all."

"I love you too." we each said, still confused.

Dad then rushed to his office. In a couple of minutes he was out and opened the front door, closing it behind him.

I finished dinner surprisingly before it got too dark and was about to head upstairs but stopped.

I could see to my right, the door to dad's office wide open.

He never let's us in there.

I looked both ways to see if the coast was clear and entered in, closing the door.

I looked around.

Dad's desk was full of papers, binders, and folders.

Post-it notes were stuck all throughout the walls.

My eyes shifted to a big board.

I walked closer to observe what was on there.

Newspapers, maps, and more post-it notes were all scattered.

Tacks were connected with yarn going every which way.

I landed onto a photo of a girl.

She looked my age, 14.

And pretty.

Very pretty.

"This must be the girl Dad was talking about."

I then found a picture of a man.

He looked weird and very suspicious.

A post-it note was under the photo.

An address.

I looked around to see if any other had one too.

None.

"This must be where they are."

I stared at it for a good minute, contemplating what I should do.

"I want to become like dad."

"And if this is the way, so be it."

I grabbed the piece of paper and quietly left the office.

I tiptoed into mom and dad's bedroom to see her sleeping. I sighed in relief and entered back into dad's office, looking around.

I immediately found a window and climbed out.

I ran out of the neighborhood and called an uber.

Luckily I had somehow had money in my pocket to pay for it.

The car came and I entered in.

I showed the note, "Take me to this address please."

The driver nodded and off we went.

Throughout the ride, I looked out the window.

The closer we got to the place, the more secluded the area looked.

I looked at the driver, who was confused himself.

From far away I could see the red, white, and blue lights.

It's here.

"Excuse me sir, you can drop me off right there."

I pointed to a random area.

He hesitantly nodded and parked there.

Thanking him, I gave the money.

"Hey kid,"

"be safe." He spoke.

"I will." I replied giving a smile of reassurance and exited the car.

It was getting almost completely dark now.

I pulled out my phone and turned on the flashlight to its lowest brightness.

I ran and ran, completely clueless of where I was going.

Eventually, I reached an area filled with trees.

I ran the only pathway I knew.

Straight.

I felt dribbles of sweat roll down the sides of my face.

What was I thinking?

I should have listened to Dad.

But no, I'm a stubborn teenager who is determined to get his way.

You're such an idiot Jai.

Suddenly I saw something.

It looked like a worn-down house or shed.

In front of it, something was moving.

I stopped running, and slowly walked towards it.

My eyes were strained due to the darkness around me.

Once I got close enough I realized it wasn't just something.

It was people.

2 people fighting.

I couldn't hide behind the trees so I looked around.

My eyes finally landing on a big silhouette.

I ran and hid behind it.

Turning off my flashlight, I peeked and slightly brought my head out to get a better view.

I saw two tall figures.

I found another object in front of the one I was hiding behind and quietly moved to that.

I brought my head out.

I was still 40-50 feet away from the figures.

I brought my head out more to get a better look.

There was a man.

He was holding a bloody knife and half of his shirt was drenched in blood.

He had a smirk on his face giving me uncomfortable chills.

He's the weird man in the photo.

The man was staring at someone.

I looked at who it was.

My heart dropped.

"Dad."

I put a hand over my mouth.

I heard grunting from both men.

I looked out and saw the man on top of dad.

He brought his knife up and pierced it through Dad's leg.

I heard him scream out in pain.

Tears uncontrollably streamed down my face.

I looked out again.

Dad punched the man in the face, making him distracted and took out the knife, throwing it somewhere.

Then almost immediately, without noticing one another,

they both reached to their back pockets,

and pulled a gun out pointing it at each other.

In seconds I heard 2 loud gunshots and both men collapsed to the floor.

My heart stopped.

My eyes grew wide.

"DAADDDDDD!!!!!!"

I sprinted to him and dropped next to him.

I placed his head on my lap.

My gaze landed on a hole where his heart is.

Blood continuously spread throughout his shirt.

He stared up at the sky.

His mouth slightly open.

His pulse.

Gone.

"No, no, no, no, NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" I hugged his head, screaming in agony.

"Why did you have to go," I cried, "WHY!!!!!!"

Suddenly loud booms of thunder vibrated the floor.

Tiny droplets landed on my face, combining with my tears.

Soon they formed into showers.

The booming of the thunder didn't stop.

My body began to shake tremendously.

It was as if the thunder was roaring at me.

It never ceased to calm itself.

Tears continued pouring out of my eyes, now in fear.

I had a dead body in my hands.

The body of my one and only father.

The rain poured down on us.

Droplets of the rain and my tears landed on his face.

I continued hugging him, never wanting to let go.

Suddenly I heard several splashes coming my way.

2 people were running towards me.

Once they got closer, I saw that they were also officers.

They immediately recognized me, "JAI?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" one of them spoke.

Out of nowhere my heard started pounding.

I put a hand over my temple.

The loud boom of the thunder made my heart jump.

My eyes became heavy.

It was hard to keep them open.

I felt my weight shift to one side.

I was going down.

"Dad."

Then everything became black.
