CHAPTER 52 - REWARDS

"Here you go baby..." I hand her the packed box.

She opens it and looks nonplussed.

"What's this daddy?" Her big brown eyes all curious.

"It's your swimming costume. You like it?"

"I do! It's all pretty with the princess, but next time can you get me one with an elephant on it?" She asks me and I chuckle.

Why is she so fond of elephants, I wonder...?

"Okay, yes. You want to go swimming now, baby?"

"With Carol?"

"Yes, yes. Of course, with Carol."

"Daddy? He won't go?"

"Christian is still at work. We'll take him along in the weekend?" Daddy kisses my cheek and picks me up.

"Carol... Switch off the TV. We are ready to leave honey." Daddy calls out for Carol.

One hour later, the three of us are in the swimming pool. Carol swims like a mermaid, Ana not so much.

I hear two people talking by the pool, about some kidnapping and murder happening in the area. Ana pays attention too.

"Daddy! Daddy! Look!" Carol shouts all excited. She shows me her antics.
