Part 14.
Everyone was woken up by Maria's voice. Michael had helped Maria up, so she stood beside him and looked at the man. It took a while for their eyes to adjust to the dark.
"Dad," Maria said happy when she recognized him.
"Yes sweety, it's me," he said and smiled at her.
"Hey Mr. Deluca," Liz said and waved.
"Hey Liz! Wow, have grown," Mr. Deluca said to her.
"So are you here or are you just in our minds?" Liz asked him.
"In your minds," he answered.
"Dad, is mom with you?" Maria asked, curious.
"Yea, she is, and she is fine" Mr. Deluca assured Maria. Michael felt Maria ease a bit in his arms.
"So what do you want?" Max asked him.
"I wanted to tell you that you have to do this on your own," Mr. Deluca said and looked over at Maria and waited for her to talk.
"Dad, you are not going to help us?" Maria pleaded with him.
"Maria, I am sorry but I can't help you," Mr. Deluca said sadly.
"Please, I want out of here," Maria said as a tear ran down her face. Michael saw this, so he hugged her a little harder. He knew she felt that she was being rejected by her father and that would make her hurt inside.
"I know, but if you want to get out of there you will have to work together, I will be there when you get out," Mr. Deluca said and looked around the room. His eyes stopped on Michael and Maria.
"Dad, please I need you," Maria pleaded with him.
"Maria think, all you need is right here" Mr. Deluca said and looked at Michael and Michael nodded at him. Michael knew that when he nodded he promised Mr. Deluca that he would take care of Maria.
"Maria, you have never needed me, I am so proud of you for the woman you have become," Mr. Deluca said to Maria. That made Maria cry harder.
"But dad please don't leave," Maria cried out.
"I am sorry, but I have to go they are coming to you now(,)" Mr. Deluca said and disappeared and right then walked agent Anderson in with 3 guards. He was stunned when he saw that they were all up and looking at him all sadly.
"Oh, you are up. Good! I need one person, Maria do you want to go again," Agent Anderson said and smiled at Maria.
"No, I will go" Michael said. Maria turned to him with wide eyes.
