Chapter 4: Child Of Mine

Cahill walked into the her house and sat here stuff down. She looked up and saw Al sah-him standing in her living room. She moved over to him and then saw a young girl who looked to fifth teen. She watched as the girl get up from her sit and stood beside Al sah-him. She watched as Al sah-him put his hand on her shoulder.

"This is Anne. She is my daughter." Cahill looked at him and then at her.

"Hi there Anne." She said.

"I was hoping that she could stay with you for awhile?" He asked her. Cahill looked at Anne and then at Al sah-him. She smiled and nodded her head and said.

"Of course she can stay." Anne smiled and then looked up at her father.

"Get your things." He told her. Anne moved and got her bag that was beside the couch. She walked over to Cahill.

"What room am I staying in?" She asked him. Cahill smiled and led her to her room. After she showed on Anne to her room. She walked back to the living room and saw Al sah-him still standing in the living room. She walked over to him and folded her arms.

"Why is your daughter here?" She asked him.

"She needs a strong woman in her life to guide her." He told her. This made Cahill smile at him. She watched as Al sah-him smiled a little. He looked back behind Cahill. Cahill turned and looked at Anne who walked in the room. Anne walked over to her father and smiled and hugged him. Al sah-him hugged her back and leaned down and kissed her on the forehead. He looked at Cahill and smiled at her. He moved and walked out.

Cahill watched him leave and after he left she looked at Anne. She smiled at the girl. Anne walked over to Cahill.

"Are you hungry?" She asked the girl.

"Yeah I am."

"What would you like to eat?" She asked her.

"How about we have some chinses food?" Anne asked and they walked into the kitchen.

-Later that night-

Cahill walked into Anne's new room. She moved and sat down on Anne's bed. Anne could tell that the woman wanted to asked her something.

"What is it that you want to ask me?"

"Is Al sah-him really your father?" She asked her.

"Yes he is. He and my mom dated when they were 21. They slept together and well here I am." She laughed lightly. Cahill smiled and then asked her.

"Where did you father meet your mother?"

"In Texas." She told her. Cahill looked at the wall. She though about it for a bit.

"What is your father's name?" Anne looked at her.

"I can't tell you that. He would be mad at me and besides I think that he should tell you that not me." She smiled at her.

"You know I go out with him when he is on a missions too." She told Cahill. Cahill looked at her.

"You mean that your are Vigilante as well?" She asked the young girl.

"Yes, my name is Athena." She told her with a wide smile.

-The Next Day-

Cahill walked into her office and saw a man that she had helped a long time ago. She looked at him and put her stuff down.

"Matthew?" She said his name. Matthew turned and looked at her with a smile.

"Hello Dr. Cahill."

"What are you doing here?" She asked him.

"I was hoping that I could take you to lunch." He told her.

"Okay that would be great Matthew. You can tell me how you are doing." She said and sat down one of her bags. She walked out with him, but she didn't see a man watching her. His name was Lucifer Owens. He moved and texted someone on his phone. He then got a text telling him to follow them. He moved and told the Avery that he was going to go home, that he was not feeling well.

-With Cahill-

Cahill walked to her car. She told him that she would follow him to the restaurant. She was looking for her keys when Matthew came up behind her and put a rag over her mouth. She tried to get free but couldn't, then she felt herself get tired. Cahill went limp in Matthew's arms. He moved and picked her up. He took her to his car and placed her in the trunk of the car. Matthew got into the car and drove away. Little did he know that he was being watched, from the shadows Lucifer saw it all. He moved and called the one that he had texted before this happened.

"What happened?" Al sah-him asked him.

"That guy took Cahill." He told him.

-In the base-

Al sah-him sat back into his seat and looked over at Anne who was looking at him.

"Okay, find out where they went and I will get there soon. Oh and Devil?"

"Yeah boss."

"Don't do anything. I will take care of it." He told him.

"Right." The call ended.

"I'm going with you." Anne told him. Al sah-him looked at his daughter and shook his head no. She was about to ask why but then stopped. She watched him leave the base.

-With Cahill-

She came to and looked around. She was at a old warehouse that had many old boxes in. She tried to scream but couldn't do to the gag in her mouth. She looked at Matthew as he looked down at her. He was holding a gun. Her eyes got huge.

"Well, you are probably wondering why you are here?" He asked her. She looked at him with tear's starting to run down her cheeks.

"Well you are here cause YOU DIDN"T HELP ME!" He yelled at her and got into her face. He moved and put the gun against her cheek. Cahill closed her eyes and began to cry a little harder. He pulled away and then looked at her.

"You were suppose to help me with my mind and the drug abuse." He told her.

"But it didn't work. I still crave it and want it. You said that I would not thinking about it anymore." He leaned to her face and yelled again.

"YOU WERE WRONG!" He moved and back handed her with the hand that he was holding the gun with. Cahill and the chair fall over and hit the floor hard. He sighed and picked her up and move the gag out of her mouth. Cahill said with hot tears running down her cheeks, and blood came from her mouth. He had busted her lip.

"I said that you will have to tell yourself that you don't need it." She told him. Matthew looked down at her and smiled. He moved back and back handed her again. Her mouth and now her cheek was bleeding, where the gun hit her.

"You know that I am not going to let you walk out of here alive." He told her. Cahill closed her eyes and said.

"I know." Matthew raised up the gun and pointed at her. He went to pull the trigger.

But an arrow hit the gun and pointed it away from Cahill. Matthew ended up shoot the ground. He looked up and saw in the rafters stood The Vigilante. He moved and started to shoot at him. Al sah-him moved and shoot two arrows at Matthew. They hit on either side of Matthew's pants to where he couldn't move. He looked down and then up. He didn't see the man anywhere. Matthew saw something at the corner of his eyes. He looked over to his left. Al sah-him was walking toward him but Matthew held the gun up to Al sah-him and then to Cahill. No one saw Athena get beside the boxes that were beside Cahill. Al sah-him stopped and put his bow down on the ground. Matthew smiled an evil smile and looked at Cahill.

"NO!" Al sah-him yelled. Just as Matthew pulled the trigger. They all saw someone shield Cahill from the bullet. The bullet hit Athena in the back.

"NO!" Al sah-him yelled again, but this time it was for his daughter. He moved and got his bow and fired three arrows into Matthew's chest. Cahill looked at Athena. She saw Al sah-him pick his daughter's head up and leaned his head on hers. She felt the ropes that where around her wrist becoming lose. She looked behind her and saw a man that was dressed in a blood red and black suit. She looked at Devil and then moved next to Athena and Al sah-him.

"We have to get her some help." She told him. Al sah-him looked up at her and nodded his head. Him moved and picked her up and rushed her to the hospital.

He kicked the door's to ER, and placed Anne on the table. The head Doctor looked at him.

"You can't be here. Someone call the police!" She yelled. Al sah-him grabbed the woman's arm and pulled her over to him.

"Please to god save my daughter's life." He begged her. She looked at him. She nodded her head and began to attended Anne. She looked at her and Al sah-him rolled Anne over so that the doctor could looked at Anne better. She looked at Al sah-him and told him.

"You can wait outside by the doors and look in because I can't work with you in the way." Al sah-him was about to say something but stopped when a hand touched his arm. He looked over and saw Cahill. He looked at his daughter and walked to the door's. Cahill and Al sah-him watched the doctor's work on his daughter. They were taking by surprise when her heart stopped. Cahill watched Al sah-him moved to the window. She could see the fear in his eyes. She walked over to him grabbed his hand. They both let out a breath as Anne's heartbeat came back. Al sah-him moved and sat down in one of the chairs. Cahill moved to where she was in front of him. She moved and hugged him. She was taken aback as he hugged her back.

"Way is it that you are always here for me?" He asked her in the voice changer. Cahill smiled and then thought about what he said. What did he mean by always here for him?

After Anne was in her room. Al sah-him was standing there looking at his daughter. Cahill moved and stood next to him.

"You can come back and see her."

"No, I will come and see her at your house. I can't saw my face yet." He told her turned toward her and leaned down and kissed her on the cheek.

"Thank you for looking after my little girl." Cahill felt him walk off.

-A week later-

Anne and Cahill walked into Cahill's home. Cahill helped Anne to bed.

-Later that night-

Cahill walked into Anne's room and saw Al sah-him standing there in her room . She watched him lean over and kiss her on the forehead. He turned and looked at Cahill. They walked out to living room.

"Are you really Anne's father?" She asked him.

"Yes I am." He told her with a small smile.

"Well then she is a lucky little girl to have you as a father." She told him.

"Yes, but she also needs a mother. I didn't know her mother had died when she was ten." Cahill looked at him.

"How did she pass?" She asked him.

"Her mother and I were and are apart of A.R.G.U.S it means Advanced Research Group United Support. Her name was Leanne and her other name was White Lily. She was a great archer." He told her. "She was at home and one of the guys that she had pissed off, he broke in and shot her. Anne watched her mother die. When I found out that I had a daughter, I was very happy about it." She watched as he smiled. He looked up at her and then realized that it was very late.

"I better go." He told her.

"I will see you tomorrow night." He stopped and looked over his shoulder and said.

"Yes, you will."
