Chapter 42
Melinda May's Point of View
I felt the hairs on my arms rise as I heard the rough voice on the other end of the phone. As I stepped out of the room so Skye wouldn't hear our conversation I asked, "How did you get this number?" The man on the other end gave a sarcastic laugh before replying, "That doesn't really matter now, does it Melinda." I felt the anger burn inside of me, "What do you want then?" I hissed.
"Finally we get back on topic. It has been brought to my knowledge that you have found someone, someone who went missing years ago. Someone you tried to keep from me. I believe she now calls herself Skye am I right?" the monster on the other end asked. "How do you know that?" I cried. "Now Melinda you should have known you couldn't keep her from me forever. She is my daughter too and I plan to take her from you. She deserves to know me to, after all I hear she may take after me more than you!" he hissed.
"If you even come within 10 miles of her, I will kill you. Skye is nothing like you and I promise you; you will never get close to her. She is better off without you in her life and I will die before I let her find out who you are!" I hissed. "No matter how hard you fight to keep her from me I will find her Melinda. I will find her and I will take her. I will kill anyone who gets in my way because she is MY daughter and I have every right to be close to her. So here is were our little conversation ends, enjoy what little time you have left with Skye because I can assure you it isn't long. I am closer than you think I am just waiting for my time to come, so goodbye Melinda!" he replied in a sick tone.
As the call end I felt sick, if what he was saying was true then he already knew what Skye looked like and where she was. I felt both panic and anger fill me up as I walked back into the room. As I turned to face Skye I saw her hang up the hotel phone. "Who were you talking too?" I asked concerned. "The receptionist, she said our ride is here. Why didn't you ask AC to come and get us?" Skye asked. "I didn't want him to be seen" I replied harsher than I had intended. Thankfully Skye didn't seem upset as she asked, "Mom are you ok? Who was on the phone?"
"I'm fine honey it was just some stupid company trying to sell me crap." I lied. She didn't look convinced but didn't ask any further questions. Instead she climbed out of the bed and got dressed. "Who is picking us up if it's not AC?" she asked as she quickly ate the fruit from last night. I had completely forgot to tell her, "My mother." I replied. The look of shock on her face made me laugh despite the worry that was slowly consuming me. "Your mother?" she asked surprised. "Yes Skye my mother, and she isn't very patient so hurry up!" I smiled.
"Guess that's who you take after then!" Skye replied sarcastically as she hurried along. About 20 minutes later she was finally ready. "Got everything?" I asked. "Yes mom for the 100th time." She replied before having a sneezing fit. "I hate having the cold!" she complained as we left the room. "Well that's what happens when you run around in the snow with no coat, Converse and a short sleeve shirt!" I joked. "Well excuse me for not asking my kidnappers for the appropriate clothing for escaping!" she laughed.
As we made our way threw reception I saw my mother standing by the door. She made her way over to me and I could see she was already mad about how long she was waiting. However before she could complain Skye caught her of guard, "OMG are you my grandmother?" she squeaked excitedly. I tried to contain my laughter as I handed the keys over the desk. When I turned around and saw my mother's expression she looked terrified. Skye had pulled her into a hug without warning.
"Melinda who is this?" she asked. "Mom this is Skye she's your granddaughter" I smiled. "Excuse me?" mom replied shocked. "You didn't tell me you had a daughter!" she exclaimed. "Well technically she just found me, so you haven't missed much!" Skye answered as she released her grandmother. "Found you?" mom asked looking suspiciously at Skye.
"Yeah, well I mean she didn't adopt me or anything I am her real daughter, but I was taken as a baby and she couldn't find me. Then a few months ago, her and her team arrested me, but when Jemma a girl on our team did a DNA test is showed May was my mom. It took a while for us to like each other, but then I got shot and we bonded, and then I was kidnapped again and mom rescued me and here we are!" Skye rambled. Mom looked at her totally lost for words. "Thanks for that enlightening explanation Skye, you didn't at all ramble!" I said.
"No No Melinda I actually caught most of it. I mean it was at super speed, and a lot of information to get in 30 seconds but I managed. How did I not know about this?" she asked me. 'Mom can we leave this to later, we need to get moving I have a stop I need to make before we get back to our team." I replied desperate to leave the hotel incase Skye's father was there. Not knowing where he was was making me very anxious and desperate to be reunited with Coulson and the others. "Fine the car is this way" mom replied as we left the hotel.
"Where do you have to stop?" Skye asked when we were in the car. "Coulson's grave" I replied. "WHAT?" Skye replied shocked. "I need to see if there is anything there, about the Tahiti project." I told her. "Why would it be there?" she asked confused. "Because Skye I think Fury buried the information with Coulson." I replied. "Oh ok makes sense, why do we have to do this now?" she replied. "Because Skye Phil doesn't trust me right now and I need to earn it back. This is the only way I can do it." I answered. When she went to ask another question I stopped her, "Skye no more questions my head is going to explode if you don't stop!" I said.
"Fine!" she huffed in the back of the car. After a few minutes of silence mom asked, "Well Skye if you like questions so much mind if I ask you a few?" Skye looked at me before replying, "Ok Grams shoot what do you want to know?" I didn't know where mom was going with this so I looked at her curiously as she asked, "Why where you arrested?" I laughed as I turned to face Skye, "Yes that's a good one, Skye tell your grandmother why you were arrested" Skye stuck her tongue out at me before saying, "Well it's a long story. Um I used to be a member of the Rising Tide do you know who they are?" Skye asked.
"MY GRANDDAUGHTER WAS ONE OF THOSE A-HOLES?" Mom yelled suddenly. "Unfortunately yes" I replied. "HEY in my defense it led me to you, and I was only a member of it so I could hack S.H.I.E.L.D!" Skye argued. "Why did you want to hack S.H.I.E.L.D?" mom asked. "Because they had a redacted file that I thought contained the identity of my parents." Skye replied sadly. "And did it?" mom asked. "I don't know never read it, its still redacted. But I found mom either way." Skye smiled at me. "What about your father?" mom asked. "I don't know about him, I was mad at mom at first for not telling me about him but I understand she is doing it for my protection." Skye replied.
I could see where the conversation was going so I ended it there, not wanting to think about that man let along talk about him! "Ok enough questions, Skye honey try and get some rest, it should make you feel better!" I said. "Um ok" Skye replied. "Are you in some kind of trouble with this man, Skye's father?" mom asked me in Chinese. "No, not at the minute. He is dangerous though, and I can't risk him finding Skye. If he does I don't think I will be able to stop him!" I replied also in Chinese.
"You know that is rude, if this is to be a regular thing you need to teach me Chinese mother!" Skye called from the back seat. "I will teach you Skye, but I am worse than your mother. I am stricter and meaner!" mom replied jokingly. "Huh as if that is possible!" Skye replied. "You know what no more talking, get some rest because in a few hours you will complain you are hungry!" I said.
After that we drove in silence for a while. As raced threw the roads and streets I desperately tried to find a way to keep Skye from her father. None of my ideas she would like!
Ok so that was chapter 42, hope you enjoyed :-) Until next time ;-)
