Chapter 26:  Why would anyone do this?

Disclaimer:  Read previous chapters

~~~~~Margaret's P.O.V.~~~~~

      I told Zane everything the doctor told me, apparently our father was murdered and the only reason they told us now cuz they hadn't seen it before when they did the autopsy. I guess the doc caught it when he was looking through records or something.

~~~~~Flashback~~~~~

      Margaret and Zane are talking in front of the waterfront.

Margaret: ...apparently dad was murdered. (Crying)

Zane (shocked but enveloping Margaret in a hug): Shh...It'll be okay, I promise. We'll get through this together, we'll find the murderer.

Margaret (pulling away with tears filled in her eyes): Do you wanna know how he died?

Zane: Ya

Margaret: The doctor said he was poisoned with a poison that at first when you look it looks like a heart attack.

Zane: Alright I want you to go back home. Don't tell anyone we met tonight not even Zack.

Margaret (confused): Why? You know I can't keep anything from Zack.

Zane: Look sis I know but I have to make sure this isn't a hoax maybe you being shot and dad being murdered have something in common.

Margaret: Like what?

Zane: Maybe the person who wanted you dead killed dad. So promise me you won't do anything. Ok?

Margaret: Ok.

~~~~~End Flashback~~~~~

      As I opened up the door to the loft I went to the kitchen, thankfully no one was awake. I grabbed a cup and poured me some milk.  I walked over to a picture of my father, I wanted to yell at the top of my lungs out of anger and I wanted to break something, anything. I was about to break the cup in my hand but I didn't cuz that would most definitely wake up everyone. I picked up the picture and I looked into my father's eyes and thought //why would anyone do this? Especially to you daddy, a kind, loving, generous man like you. But I promise you daddy me and Zane are gonna find the son of a bitch who did this and we're gonna make them pay, I promise.//

      I put the picture and the cup down and went outside on the terrace I lay on my bean bag that I put out there and I just looked up at the stars. I don't know maybe about ten minutes later I heard the door open lightly and I turned around and there was Tinga looking at me.

Tinga: What are you doing up so late? You should be resting.

Margaret: Couldn't sleep. Sides I got enough rest when I was in the hospital.

Tinga (coming and sitting by her on Zack's bean bag): So we haven't gotten to talk at all have we? (Not letting her answer) So why don't you catch me up on you and Zack, Zane's and Max's lives. Ok? (Smiles)

Margaret: Sure. What do you wanna know?

Tinga: Tell me about yourself.

      She told Tinga all about herself and her life including about Lydecker. She then moved on To Zane and his family, and then Max and her family she could only tell her about Max's life from the time Margaret came into Seattle till now. Finally she moved on to her and Zack after she was done Tinga told her about her and her family. When they both finished it was like four in the morning so they decided to go to bed.
