Keni, dressed in a pair of silvery gray silk pajamas and a billowing red silk robe, started to shake. She cast a glance towards the door that her mother and Aaron had escaped through. She was trapped. The doorknob rattled and the door looked like it was being pushed on.
"Kennedi open the door goddamn it!!" Frank's voice bellowed on the other side of the door.
"No! Frank, go away! You weren't supposed to come after me!!"
Everything silenced for a brief, blessed few seconds. Then all hell broke loose as the double doors flew open behind Frank's forceful kick. The man that stood in the doorway looked pissed off enough to kill - and he had his eyes on Kennedi.
She scurried back behind a table bearing a silver tea service. "Now, Frank... calm down."
Frank's answer was to kick to petite table over and keep on going towards her.
Kennedi put a stout English oak table between them. Her back was towards the corner closest to the door that Aaron and her mother had gone out of. That didn't deter Frank. He jumped up onto the low coffee table and glared down at Kennedi.
"YOU are going to tell me why you picked up, packed up and ran from me 6 years ago and then again a year ago! You've led me by the nose with shadows, lies and non-truths for far too long!"
"You self righteous son of a bitch!" She scrambled for the door. "You think it's all about you! Just for once try and see it from my side! OH!!" She reached for the door, but was stopped by Frank's grip on her arm.
Behind Frank stood Jake, Alex, Monica and Cody. They had put up with his tirades and endless nagging for the past year about searching for Kennedi and Cisco. When Monica and Cody found out that he had a son, they'd put in some extra overtime to help find him. They all seemed to understand how important it was that Frank find his wife and son. Needless, to say that they didn't feel one whit sorry for Kennedi right now.
"Let go of me!! DADS!!" Keni began shouting and struggling to get away from Frank. Normally she wouldn't have minded dealing with him. But not at this moment. He looked like he had murder in his eyes.
"Oh no Kennedi." her dad said from the doorway. "You're on your own. Your Mother and I told you not to do this."
Keni let loose a soft gasp and tore her arm from Frank's. She was in this alone! Pushing him back into one of the chairs, she whirled around and bolted out of the side door. Down the hallway she ran in bare feet, her robe billowing behind her - and Frank in hot pursuit. Everyone, down to and including Aaron, was following them.
"I don't know where she thinks she's going. Unless she fancies another bout of hypothermia." Aaron muttered to no one in particular.
