What are the next steps? Dad asked as if to ignore A nn

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 difort for being put on disy. “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 telephonepany, 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 exnatory.”
“How did youe up with that idea?” Penny asked.
“It was really just a snide remark that Alec tuned into. From there, it snowballed.”
“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 shed 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 te.
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 wasing 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 red 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?
“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 tupidlyrge 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 Material ? N?velDrama.Org.
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.”
