He looked like a leader, like a boss.
"Look, I don't expect you to understand, I really don't. I'll understand sir, if you feel the need to punch me right now, but you don't understand the danger in telling you. The danger Eve has now put you in."
Hearing him say that broke my heart and I didn't understand him. How had I put them in danger? They were already in danger.
"Seems to me like we're already in danger, or else, why the need to have surveillance on our house?"
"They're just a precaution, the person who set fire to your house knew I was here. They were after me. For that, I can only apologise."
"I don't give a damn about a house! I care about my wife and granddaughter."
My grandad turned away from him, expressing his anger in a different direction.
Kit stared at me then, full of disapproval and the longer he looked at me, the more disappointment I saw in his eyes until it was too much to bare.
"I told Eve that I'd like to go to Delta," my grandad said.
"Of course," Kit replied.
"Good."
My grandad thought some more and I waited for the next line to be spoken.
"So, tell me what the plan is. How do we protect them?" my grandad said, looking at me and then back to my grandma.
"I don't need taking care of," I said quickly, feeling like a child under their stare. I was about to explain how I already had chaperone's but my mind had been led elsewhere.
Kit scoffed and shifted on his feet.
"I'm sorry, was that funny?" I glared at him.
I got that he was mad at me, I got it. I was pissed off at him too for not understanding why I needed to tell them.
The more I stared at his arrogant expression, the more crazy I felt until I had to remove myself.
"I'm really sorry," I said, placing my hand on my grandad's shoulder.
"I'll call you soon. I need to go home right now." I looked at my grandma and she offered me an understanding smile.
Getting up, she gave me a hug.
"Thank you for telling us, although it probably won't ever sink in, I can't imagine how hard it must have been for you to keep this to yourself."
I nodded, "I'm sorry I couldn't bring you a better surprise."
"You did," she frowned and looked at my stomach.
Then my grandad came to me for a hug.
"Are you sure you don't wanna stay here?"
I shook my head, "I'm safe at home, trust me."
He gave me the best smile he could.
"I don't know, Eves, I…" he trailed off, trying to gather his words.
"I know," I nodded. "It will take some time to process. I'm sorry I can't stay longer to talk it through with you. We will, though, I promise."
