Hiatus
Just got back from Italy. Ready to do my next chapter.
Holly had not been allowed to see her father yet and as with four year old girls, presumed the worst. She lay curled up on the Haycroft family sofa. Matt sat in front of her, eyes glued to the latest episode of Doctor Who. Rosie had brought in a tray of biscuits but Holly wasn't really interested in either them or the TV.
"Come on Holly! The Dalek just went into the room full of soldiers, it's bound to be good," encouraged Matt.
"I can't! I just am too scared!" Holly complained.
"Doctor Who isn't scary though!" Matt said in outrage.
"Not that stupid! My dad!" groaned Holly, head slapping Matt for good measure.
"Hey! You can't do that!" Matt yelled.
"Just did," Holly grinned as Matt hit her in the temple with a cushion. "No fair!"
NCIS
Joyce Cross was an assassin, she had been paid a large amount of money for a job that was simple. Killing a pre-schooler was literally child's play.
Inside the house she glimpsed two girls mock fighting each other. The red head was Holly, the girl she'd been assigned to kill. When she asked the woman paying her, she said:
"Her father has committed a great wrong against my family, now I shall commit a great wrong against his family."
Something in her told her it was wrong to kill a girl who would be five in just a week. The youngest she'd killed before was a ten year old Mexican boy who'd seen a drug deal gone wrong.
Conscience told her it was wrong but two hundred and fifty thousand dollars told her it was right. She had been warned by the woman paying her that if she went to the cops, she would be found in the Potomac with unspeakable things done to her.
The woman had said that the blonde girl with Holly was named Matt. Her orders with Matt were simple; kill her if she sees too much.
Before vanishing, the woman had revealed her name to be Sofia Hernandez but if the cops were looking for her they'd call her Sophie Flanders. She'd made one thing clear: she couldn't care less about her own fate as long as Holly died. The damage was done.
Chapter 2 over and done. For Doctor Who fans the episode is named Dalek from Christopher Eccelston: and many fans watch Doctor Who from under the age of three.
