MIA called to place her demands in the hopes that she could terrorize our life. She was as her name suggests a monster. She promised to use Dash as a knife sharpener if her demands weren't met. She was intimidating us over and over when the door blew off its hinges. Turns out Chris had called someone called Angel when we boarded the plane back home. He was able to track MIA down post-haste and was waiting for her to lower her guard. She was chatting with us when Angel and his mercenaries barged in and apprehended her.
We cheered as Dash was brought home. She smiled brighter than the sun when she saw us. We raced towards her. We each gave her hugs and thank God for returning her to us in one piece. As for MIA she was shot down and was hospitalized for spinal cord injury. She will be in a wheelchair for the rest of her life. We stayed up that night and finally passed out the next morning.
I returned to the DC area a few days later and saw that Weird was waiting outside my office like a stalker. He looked like he had seen better days. I asked him to find someone more worthwhile but he refused to listen. He wanted me to be his wife. I explained that he is a little too old for me. He deserves someone who can be there for him. I am the last person on earth he should be interested in. I have to adjust to the horrors of the monster who attack my family. I sometimes have to make many choices that ruin my sleep. He smiled at me, "I can help you with those situations. You can sleep peacefully knowing your problems are yesterday's news." I gave him a long look and walked towards the lobby.
Hans the security guard likes to flirt with the interns and he was slowly scanning the newest with his wand. I tapped my feet to say hurry up. He looked up to see who it was. When he realized it was me he jumped out of the way. Ralph my consulting lawyer was waiting for me by the private elevators. We discussed the acquisition of a new company that once belonged to a friend. I was discussing the terms for the handover when Sasha came to tell me that Jim Durning my almost rapist finally threw off the restraining order. He is on his way here to teach me a lesson. She needs a new punching bag. She was hoping he would be it. I hoped he would be arrested again before he has a chance to attack me.
Crimson called to tell me that Jim was hit by a drunk driver and he passed away. I was hoping for a miracle. This is not how I wanted. I wanted him in jail where someone would teach him to be a decent human. I thanked her and drove to get Diana from school. My car was struck by a truck and I passed out. I woke up to see my family and Angel talking. He had kept an eye on me in case MIA tries anything. He has seen monsters but MIA was something else. He has heard what Edge and Chris used to talk about when they were in school. So he had no love for her any more than we did. He saw Diana and hugged her tightly. He was Diana's paternal uncle. He looked at me with the respect that goes beyond anything I can describe. It was beautiful beyond what I can describe. There was such depth in his eyes that rivaled the depth of the ocean.
