Duties of a Father: 2

The Order of the Six Star Shuriken

One week before creams birthday

It was a warm summers day afternoon, creams birthday was less than a week away she was excited as she could be. She was going to turn ten, the big one zero she remembered what her friends earlier that day. As she sat by the swings her friends said to her.

"Wow, your turning the big one zero, that's incredible. My dad says when I turn ten I'm getting my allowance to a good $10.50 a week." Said a girl with pink hair and blue eyes. As cream smiled her other friend said.

"My dad says when I turn ten I can stay up to ten o'clock." Cream wondered what her dad was going to get for her birthday. Suddenly a horrible voice came from behind and sneered at cream.

"Hey cream puff." She insulted, as cream turned round she saw Christy In her black Goth clothes and many piercings in her nose and ears smiling evil at her. "Heard you were turning ten, you going to stop wearing your diapers now." As cream ignored that comment Christy spat on the floor and said. "Whatever, cream puff." She said as she walked with her wannabe friends who tried to imitate her. As cream happily skipped up to the top floor of the DX head quarters she realized that Madison wasn't at her desk. As cream knocked on the door, no response came from within she started to grow worried. As she knocked louder a voice came from within.

"Come in." cream recognized that voice it was her daddy's but he didn't respond the first time was strange. As she opened the door the room was dark, the lights were off and the curtains were pulled, cream thought it was a surprise party, but as she entered matt immediately said. "Cream, wait outside." This was the first time cream had heard her father said that to her, he always let her in the office when she came from school.

"But daddy…"

"No buts cream! Go find Maeve or SoraLynn and I'll talk to you later." As cream closed the door matt clapped his hands and with that the lights returned back to normal. As matt sat in his chair he looked cross. "How much do you know….Mr. Red." Mr. Red was the younger brother to vicious blood thirsty dictator who ran a company that would stop at nothing to get its information who went by the name of Mr. White. Mr. White ran one of Dream X's information gathering branches called Blue corp that was until a rookie lawyer put Mr. White in jail for good. As the figure clapped his hands he said.

"My dear boy, you have a splendifous daughter, it would be a shame for her little heart to be broken if she found out that you lied to her." As matt looked at him with daggered eyes he said to him trying to hold back his rage.

"I don't know what you're talking about!"

"My dear boy, you're a bad liar but good enough to fool your own child." As matt looked at his phone he looked at him and said.

"You dare and tapped my phone."

"Not me my dear boy, but my lovely assistant Sophie hawkcastle. You remember her, don't you?" as matt thought back to that name Sophie hawkcastle he remembered, all too well. It was three years ago he heard that name, as he sat back in his chair looking at this C.V. he was handed.

"So, Miss Hawkcastle you skills for a receptionist seem impressive, what would you say was your weakness in the receptionist area." He asked the young blonde hair woman with brown eyes. As she wore a tight pink blouse that revealed some of her cleavage. As she winked at him she said in English seductive voice.

"Well I guess it'd be the cute leader I'd be working for." As matt ignored the voice and the wink.

"Any other skills?" he inquired.

"Well, I could have sex anyway and anywhere, with anyone." She said as she winked again but matt didn't fall for her charms. As he sighed he said to her.

"I'm sorry, your not what we're looking for." As she fainted onto the floor from the refusing of matt, matt suddenly jumped from his chair and asked her. "Miss Hawkcastle?! Are you okay?" as she laid there non responsive matt rushed to get her some water. As he left Miss Hawkcastle got up and her personality took a 180.

"What an idiot! And he's supposed to be the brains of this organization?" as she placed a wiretap underneath his phone she smiled, "Mess with me and you get the wrong end of the hawks talons." As she quickly got back into her fainting position matt ran in with a glass water to help Miss Hawkcastle. As matt came out of the flashback he glared at him.

"Get out of my office!" he shouted as he pointed towards the door. As Mr. Red looked at him he said with a smile.

"You won't be able to hide the truth for long from your splendifous daughter; your lies will soon be exposed." He said as he left the office as matt called security to escort Mr. Red from the building. As he sat at his desk he knew he was in trouble, Mr. Red knew everything, all the secrets, all the lies he told cream and of course… the secret order of the six star Shuriken. If cream found out about the secret order of the six star shuriken it would only complicate matters further. Now he had to make sure that Mr. Red wouldn't breathe a word about this, he had to make a phone call but first he removed the wiretap from the bottom, as he crushed it in his hands he dialed a secret number. "#60606060606#" as it rang six times a voice picked up.

"Hello?" responded the deep voice.

"Is that you Brother Michael?" matt asked.

"Yes? Is that you brother matt?" he responded.

"Yes, I have a mission for you! A certain rat infiltrated my office and knows everything."

"This is unacceptable." He roared angrily.

"I know, the target must be eliminated." Matt said to him "I must go now brother… may the order of the shurikens be with you."

"Amen my brother the target shall be…eliminated!" he said as he hanged up. As a knock came at the door matt opened the door cream stood there smiling.

"Are we going home now?"

"Yes cream, we are." As matt locked the office he thought all would go well.

Next morning

As matt opened his office a figure stood in the room, as matt prepared to attack a shuriken with six points was thrown into the door frame matt knew who this was.

"Brother Michael? Is that you?" matt asked as he shut the door behind him. The figure nodded. "And the target…?"

"Has been eliminated!" as matt smiled he said.

"Who did you send?" as Michael smiled he said to him.

"I sent…Her!" as matt smiled.

"If you see Her again…tell her I need to meet her, face to face." As Michael nodded he disappeared into a puff of black smoke. The smile on matt's grew large. Everything was safe…at least for now. Little did he know things were about to change maybe for better or maybe for the worse.
