The only solution

“He is sick, so she is taking care of him.” She replied.

“It’s has been long since I last saw grandpa am going to see him tomorrow.” I declared smiling endlessly.

“I am going with you,” Lily stated with pouted lips.

“Alright we will go together,” I muttered and we all head to the dining table, we sit there while the chef started arranging different cuisine on the table I like my lower lip as I sighted the chicken.

“Eating without me.” I heard a familiar voice and we all look back, it was my dad who drops his briefcase on the couch and walk to us, he take off his jacket and hang it in the back of his chair and sit down.”

“Good evening dad.” We all chorused including Rachael.

“How was your day?” he asks staring at me.

“It was nothing special,” I replied digging into the food.

We finish eating and I leave Rachael and Lily in the living room and follow my dad up the stairs.

He opens the door to his room and turns to me.

“Why are you following me is anything the problem?” he asks looking at me.

“No dad but I have something to tell you,” I muttered.

“Come in then,” he stated and I followed him into his room.”

I sit in the executive chair in his room and relax. He sit on the bed and started removing his shoes.

“You say you wanted to tell me something but you are quiet,” he said looking at me.

My legs started wobbling, I 

have to tell him I can’t keep it to myself, they will find out sooner or later.

“Dad the FBI came to our house today, looking for Rachael,” I stated and his eyes widened.

“Are you serious?” he asks with his mouth hanging loosely.

“Yes dad and they say…..he interrupts me.

“How did they find out that Rachael was living with us?” he inquired.

“They show me CCTV footage of me and Rachael when I saved her from committing suicide.” I sated and his eyelids dropped.

“See son I think we will have to hand Rachael back to her parents earlier than we expected.” He declared hearing his my heart started beating fast struggling to come out of my chest, so everything I have been doing to get Rachael away from her parents has gone down the drain. how will I break this news to Rachael she will be devastated.

“Steve! Steve! What are you thinking?” my dad called out bringing me back to reality.

“Is that the only solution?” I ask bluntly.

“Yes, or do you have a suggestion?” he asked raising a brow.

“I don’t dad, the agent told me if we don’t release Rachael, they will come in two days to arrest me,” I stated and his eyes widened.

My son, I think you will have to let Rachael go, as much as I want to help her I can’t risk you going to jail.” He declared.
