Chapter Sixty Nine - Prison??

Hailey's POV

"Do you believe her" Adian asks, looking at me thoughtfully.

Nodding "yea, I think she meant it" I confess, but still not convince, though.

Nodding, Adian, continue to stare at me intensely.

"Why did you move out of your home to live with me?" he asks, in a quiet voice.

Chuckling nervously, "we're married, duh" I responded, hoping he'll leave it there.

Without any humor, "but I was an uncaring bastard who treated you unkindly" he retorted just as quickly, intermediating me by never looking away or even blinking. Is he even blinking?

Smiling, "yeah you're the uncaring bastard who cared enough to beat up a child molester for me" my voice, wavering as I said that, I remember, Emmy, my sweet baby, Emmy.

"Right, that's a discussion for another time. "So back to my, second question" Adian reminds me. " Why did you move out of your apartment?"

Looking down at my hands, clasping them together, feeling as if I'm back in my shrink's office.

"I overheard, her on the phone" I started, closing my eyes, continuing to relay everything I heard that afternoon about keeping me medicated.

"Do you know, to whom she was speaking?" he asked in the same soft tone, that I felt was suddenly sounded much more dangerous.

"Uh, um, I'm not sure. She was on the phone, you know" I told him, lying outrightly.

"Errr" he made a buzzer sound. "First lie" he said without any humor. "Would you like me to repeat my question?" he asks.

Shaking my head, "why all these questions" I asked instead.

Pulling his feet off the bed, he leaned forward still staring me down.

"In order for you and I to move forward, we need to trust each other and deal with the ghosts of the past" he said, softly.

"Ghosts" I wondered, "Like my mom?" I asked him. Does he know something?

"And your dad" he added, looking for a reaction and I believe he saw what he was looking for. I gasped, opening my mouth, surprise as his blue eyes darkened.

Looking away, I started, wringing my hands, nervously, suddenly afraid. The tears started to flow.

Adian was instantly at my side "Hailey, don't cry, I only want to help you." he says hugging me softly.

Help me? Help me with what? Adian knows something or maybe he knows everything.

"Then tell me" I asked. "tell me what you know" I cried.

Sighing, "Hailey, I'm only working with suspicions, nothing solid and I can't repeat what I don't know" h explains softly.

"Then fell me your suspensions" I asked him.

He pulled away, looking down at my exposed thighs.

"I Iberia conversation between Mrs Pierce and my father" he started.

"What?, When? What?" I asked, hoping to finally get a break through with my nightmares.

"What did she say?" I asked him, holding his face and lifting, his chin upwards, to face him.

"It was after you moved in with me", he said, staring at me. "She was afraid that you'll stop taking your medication and start having nightmares. Which you clearly have been doing." he indicated, which is true. I have stopped my meds and I'm have dreams. Enlightening dreams.

I nod, for him to continue.

Frowning, "I'm not sure, but your nightmare brings memories and I feel she doesn't want you to remember whatever, it is that you remember." he said, waiting for a response.

"It's about my parents and what really happened. I had a memory two nights ago. I think Allan Smith is my uncle." I said looking thoughtfully at the button on his shirt.

He ignored what I said, "I think, she believes that your memories could hurt you, mentally" he said, just as quietly.

Nodding, I remember when I was about sixteen and behind her back, I stopped taking my pills and the nightmares began or maybe returned. I nearly lost it.

"There are so many unanswered questions," I mused.

"What questions?" he asked me, genuinely curious.

"I think, I recall my mom dying but I can't remember my dad dying. He.. he left.. he left me". I closed my eyes, as I recall my last dream.

"He was leaving with some men. There were dirt. Then we reached the pitch, where he was walking away from me towards some men who waited at a car.I screamed and cried. I was being held back.. Both my hands were being held back, as I tried to run after him. Then he stopped. He stopped. He turned around and he was also crying" I was saying softly as I remember. "He said he loves his Hailey bear and that he will always love his Hailey bear. He said that I should stay with aunty Amelia or uncle Allan" I frowned as I continued to remember and Adian didn't interrupt me. I frowned deeper as I see him. "The men, who took him, the men" I opened my eyes to see Adian's eyes were still on me, with a soft sad expression.

"The men, Adian, the cops" I suddenly remember something significant about my dreams and my memories. "The men that daddy left with, were cops" I told him and by the expression on his face, he was deeply confused, just as I am or maybe more than me.

Frowning as Adian, quietly slid off the bed, walking slightly away, then turning to look at me again.

"Does this make any sense to you" he asks. "Your father wasn't an officer" he looked at me as he said that.

"He's in prison" I stated the obvious, "but he did promise to return for me" I remembered.

Sliding off the bed, I ran into Adian, wrapping my arms around his torso,

"Help me, please help me find him. I'll do whatever you want. I'll give you all of the company" I cried, "If you need to be with Kristin, then I won't hold you back" I continued to cry, making him promises.
