Meeting the Virals Chapter 1: South Carolina

Tory's Pov:

I was on the plane to South Carolina and I was on the edge of my seat. I was about to meet my father after fourteen years of my life all because of a drunk driver that killed my mom. I was on the verge of tears thinking about it, so I pushed those thoughts away. I was now thinking of my dad, Christopher "Kit" Howard was a marine biologist at LIRI, he hadn't known about me until he got contacted after the funeral. The plane landed then and we all got off. I went to baggage claim and got my two suitcases that were heavy as crap, I didn't see him so I went outside where all the taxi's and shuttles and cars were and waited for about twenty minutes until a muddy Mini Cooper raced around the corner and the breaks squealed as they stopped.

When the car stopped a man got out he had a boyish face with curly brown hair and he looked even more nervous than me. Then he cleared his throat and said "Hi Tory I'm Kit… I mean Christopher
Howard. I'm your dad." I tried to keep my face neutral and I said "Hi Kit it's good to meet you." That was a stupid thing to say I thought. I should get you bags he said and he went forward and grabbed them and it looked like he was using all his strength but he smiled anyway and put them in the trunk, it was a tight squeeze. He went and opened the passenger seat door for me and I got in and then he started the car. And off we went. I was nervous to see my new home. We drove for about forty minutes and then I saw a strip of houses lined in a row all looking the same and then Kit or my new dad said "Welcome to your new home."
