~Time, location~

~10 years ago, Near Alice Springs, Northern Territory, Australia~

Dad was driving, we were going to spend the day together for my birthday. I knew we were heading out of Alice Springs towards Uluru, I also knew that it meant we were going to pass his work. "Dad are we-" His phone started to ring, quickly giving me an apologetic smile he answered it.

"Grant here. Yup- Yup- Have you- Okay I underst- Look Turner I can't- Alright- Yeah- Fine." With that he threw his phone into the back of the car. "What was that about dad?" Running a hand through his hair and over his face he looked another ten years older. "Dad?" I was started to get nervous with his steady silence. "Aqua, honey. I'm sorry Turner's asked me to drop in to clarify some information. We need to stop by the plant, it shouldn't take that long but knowing him. God to day was meant to be about you. Bugger! Turner's going to have hell to pay." Turner was my dads boss so he couldn't exactly say no. "Dad, chill! Okay I'm 14 I think I can handle waiting to go to Uluru for a bit. Do what you have to, I'll be fine. But you were right about Turner having hell to pay, particularly if he finds me." I grin my classic devils grin, many ran when they saw it. It meant one of two things; 1) I've been up to no good and I'll eventually be busted for it or 2) someone's on my shit list and revenge WILL be served. "God I'm glad I never get the receiving end of that smile. I don't know where you get from Aqua." I laugh, throwing my hair back as we turn into the gates to the plant. "Hey Alex!" I yell out to the guard. He looked up and saw my dad and I and grinned like a mad man. "That's where I get my smile from dad." I stated pointing to Alex. "How's the birthday girl today?" He asked as he checked dads pass card and went to get me a visitors card. "I'm good though I'm going to tear Turner a new one. Dad's meant to be on break, finally, and he gets called in today of all days." Alex just shook his head muttering about the devil reincarnated and waved us through.

"This can't be right Turner how long have you had these figures?" My dad was starting to panic, something he doesn't do unless it's warranted. "Two weeks, thought it was a normal fluctuation. Left it, still happened, called you in. Now shut up and solve the problem." He almost snarled at him. "Honey go to the car, start it up and go. Don't look back just go." He suddenly turned to me. "Turner you've just condemned everyone at this plant to a rendition of Chernobyl, this plant can't just be 'fixed' as you demand. It's gone into over heat and about four minutes from going ka-fucking-boom! You knew of this before it was this fucking bad and you did nothing but sit on your fat arse and do nothing, no notification, no prior phone calls, you left it to the last fucking minuet when I finally have a day with my daughter on her birthday!" Tears fell from my face as what he was saying hit me. It was going to blow and he wanted me to run. And run I did, well tried to. Turner caught me and held a knife to my stomach facing my dad he snapped. "You'll fix it or your precious daughter is going to die either way." To say I was scared would be ludicrous, I was fucking terrified! "Dad!" I yelled for him, he turned and faced me, fear in his eyes, determination in mine. "Don't do it. You've already said that it's too late." Turner pushed the blade into my flesh slowly, gasping at the pain and through the tears, I continued. "If mum was here she'd say the same thing I'm going to, dipshit here left it too late so now we've all got to face to facts. 1) It's gonna blow to kingdom come. 2) You can't stop it and 3) I love you dad and know that you'll do the right thing." With that Turner pushed the rest of the blade into me and pulled it out. Dad was screaming at me as I fell to the ground. I slowly pushed myself up and staggered my way to the door and to the car, sheer will power driving me towards it. Once in I fumble for the keys and start the engine. Quickly looking at my watch I see that we've only got two minuets, gunning the car I speed back down the road, taking out the boom gate and leaving a befuddled Alex behind in the security booth. And leaving my dad behind as well.

Hardly out of the plant site, I hear the biggest boom in my life. Tears fall harder down my face, I know what it means. The plant blew. My dad was dead. I had no more family. And the mass amount of Uranium would be following me quickly. As that thought went the car was flipped by a gust of wind from the explosion. The dust picked up by it coming straight for me. Closing my eyes and holding my bleeding stomach I say one last thing. "God fucking damn you life!" Yup I had a potty mouth.
