What are the next steps? Dad asked as if to ignore A nn
Kristen had a brilliant idea” Alec said taking another bite of pasta and looking at me I had
a bite of salad
half way up to my mouth when I paused. Looking around, everyone was looking at me,
waiting for an
answer.
Setting my fork down, I had a sudden discomfort for being put on display. “Oh, um… did
Penny not tell
“She did but I would like to hear it from you” Dad gave me a look that I hated. It was like I
was being
tested and I got it my whole life.
“If we hack into the telephone company, we got find his file based off his location of
service and d******d
his call history. Then we can match locations with assigned numbers and find out what
locations he calls.
From there, we can deep dive. The rest is self explanatory.”
“How did you come up with that idea?” Penny asked.

“That is actually really good.” Colt said with a mouthful of slider.
“Thanks. I hope it works. Has Beckham found anything?” I asked.
“He’s still working on it but he is making progress. He is moving slower due to the firewalls
and not
wanting to leave a footprint so it’s taking a little bit.” Penny nodded.
“Where is he doing it from?” Alec asked.
“Remember that old abandoned coffee shop a few miles from the city?” Colt asked.
“Oh.” Nodding, the image of the shop flashed in my head. The windows were broken, paint
was peeling
and small rodents called it home. looked over and An n barely touched anything. Instead,
she was just
pushing it around her plate.
I was finished eating and so was everyone else. “It is such a lovely morning.” Dad looked
up at the sun
that was creeping up in the sky.
“It really is,” Penny agreed. We all knew what was coming next. Our heads were slightly
bowed as wo
didn’t want it to happen but still did at the same time.
“I thought you wee going to give me a present.” An n glared at dad.
“You are right. I did tell you that.” Dad nodded.
“Well, the kids are here. Not they are grateful for anything I did for them but you wanted
them here. So,
where is it?” An n crossed her arms over her chest. Dad smiled at A nn.
“We have to go to it. Let’s all go for a walk.” Dad announced and stood up. Colt acted as if
he knew this was happening and so did Penny. I wasn’t sure I wanted to have known or not
but regardless, I wasn’t
ready.
We walked behind dad and A nn. Colt and Penny were beside us, quietly walking. Dad had
a bounce to his
step that I hadn’t seen in years. An n was practically sk ip ping. I wondered what she
thought she was going to get. As we came up to a hill, there was a small arch. It was
covered in white flowers that hung down. Pots of more white flowers were lined up,
making an aisle.
“You did this? For me? Are we renewing our vows?” An n looked at dad and grabbed his
arm. Jacob and Clint were standing on either side of the arch, waiting. Did they know?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Something like that.” Dad smiled brightly as we walked up. Colt nodded for us to sit on
the left and they
sat on the right. Dad pulled An n up to the front. Standing in front of each other, he held
her hands. A nn
had this s tupidly large smile with a tear in her eye.
“This is lovely.” An n started.
“Let me talk, please.” Dad announced. She appeared to be taken aback but gathered
herself. “I have
something prepared.”
“Okay.” Straightening her back, she looked him in the eye.
“An n, you were an old fling that came into my life when I needed someone the most. I had
lost my true
mate and my one true love.” My hand reached out and grabbed Alec. I knew my nails
were digging into
him but he didn’t move. “I had my kids and this pack that needed me. I needed to live and
you gave me
that option.” An n blinked a few times as if trying to wrap her head around what he was
saying. “I believed
you would be a great step-mother to my kids. I thought you would taken them in as your
own. Love them,
teach them things and make memories.”
