I watch as the trees flash past as I drive faster than I should. I should really slow down but I don't. I had been waiting so long for this. To take off my cover and become the man that I really am. Not the great spy or the scary CoveOps teacher but me. Joe Solomon. The man I really am.
I turn in to my town I know that I'm nearly there. I can my body tense in anticipation and excitement as it does every time I come here. I smile as I feel the happiness course through my body, and for a long time I don't feel the need to be constantly looking over my shoulder for shadows of the past. I feel safe.
As I turn in to my street I feel the layers of the lies that I tell being stripped away. The tree lined street is full of houses with happy unsuspecting families inside. Happy and safe. And that's just how I feel. Nothing compares to that feeling and you don't really appreciate the feeling unless you live the life that I do. No normal person knows how this feels, but then again I'm not normal by most peoples standards I guess.
As I turn into the drive of my house I know that I would do anything to keep them safe. That is why I lie and tell them that I am a English teacher at a fancy private school for girls. I have found that that is the only way.
As I get out of my car I hear a shout go up from inside the house and the door is thrown open. The women standing in the doorway is the most beautiful women that I have ever seen. I smile as she runs to me and I embrace her tightly.
Next a little blond boy runs out, wondering where his mum is. He stops when he see's who has arrived and then runs as fast as his little chubby legs will take him.
"Daddy" he shouts in sheer delight.
"Sean, daddy's home" I smile as I tell him the truth.
