Disclaimer: I should have put this in the beginning but I had brain freeze.
I do not own UC Team and Sonny Walker. But I own everyone else and the
animals.
Chapter 2 Continued
Jake looked at Frank and said" Now someone wants Ailean dead. How did he find out about Sonny's girls. He had to have known about them. Maybe he is somebody Sonny dealt with and now he wants revenge."
Frank looked at Jake and thought to himself he's interested in this girl. Jake knew Sonny better then anyone on his team. He hoped Jake would be careful and use his head.
" I wonder if Sonny hadn't done what he did two months ago if we would ever know of his daughters?" Jake asked. Frank looked at him and said " I don't know…I just don't know Jake."
Meanwhile Alex and Monica were sitting in their seats next to Sonny. They noticed he was looking at some pictures. He seemed to be reliving memories of happier times.
" Are the pictures of your daughters?" Monica asked.
" Yes, this is when Ailean graduated college. We had a party for her. Carly was so proud of her. So was I. This picture was at Bevin's wedding. It showed Ailean and her sisters doing the Can-Can. They were pretty tipsy in this one. The final picture was at Sorcha's wedding. I had two weddings within a year of each other. A father's nightmare." Sonny said.
" My two older girls are total opposites. Bevin had a small wedding. Sorcha on the other hand had a large wedding." Sonny said.
Monica and Alex thought this was strange. Sonny a father but stranger things did happen to them.
" Was Carly close to them?" Alex asked. " Yes, she was the only mother figure they knew. On Sorcha's and Bevin's wedding invitations they included Carly's name. She gave them both showers and helped them get ready." He answered Alex. Sonny got really quiet. " I'm sorry for bring up Carly." She answered.
Monica realized that Carly was the only mother those girls had. " She kept those three on tight leash. I think they turned out okay considering what their father is."
Sonny said.
He turned and looked out the window and relaxed he would soon be home and this time he wasn't leaving. He was going home for good.
Retiring was more of the word he was looking for. Frank would laugh if he told him he was retiring. The pilot came over the loudspeaker and announced that they were ten minutes outside of Laramie Reg. Airport. So everyone fastened their seatbelts.
The plane landed and the group started to exit. " How do we know Ailean Sonny?" Cody asked. " You'll know her trust me." Sonny answered.
Jake picked her out first. She stood no more than 5'2 and had to be at least 106lbs soaking wet if that. Frank was walking with Jake and watched eyes move to a women. She had to be Ailean. She had jeans on, tank top with a outer shirt, and a University of Wyoming ball cap. She was watching everyone exit the plane scanning the crowd for her dad. Sonny noticed her first. She looked up and waved. He stopped at the bottom of the ramp and opened his arms. She ran to him. " Hi Daddy." She said. " Hi baby girl. I missed you." Sonny said. As he hugged her.
The team was still in shock about Sonny as a father. It was evident that he loved his girls and would do anything for them.
" What are we going home in?" Sonny asked. " The Expedition hopefully everyone will fit." She said.
" How is your truck working out for you?" Sonny asked. Ailean got really quiet and had hoped he wouldn't have asked that question. " Ailean what is it your not telling me ." he asked her.
Everybody watched this scene with interest. Here is Sonny Walker trying to pry information out of his daughter. He could information out of anyone.
" Please to get angry Daddy. But the truck got blown up." Ailean answered.
" What do you mean blown up." He asked. " Just like I said blown up. Whoever wants to kill me tried doing it on the last day of school." Ailean answered her father.
Sonny looked at Frank. The look on Sonny's face was one of a really angry father. But he had every right.
As they got to the car Sonny asked Ailean " No one saw you in this thing?"
" No the windows are tinted and I left out the back road of the ranch." She answered. Everyone loaded up their gear. They all got in.
" Care to drive Daddy?" Ailean asked Sonny. Sonny just smiled and shook his head and said. " No baby girl you drive."
Ailean looked at everyone and smiled and said " It's a joke between my dad and me. Carly showed me how to drive. Dad and I kept arguing over my speed and how I took turns. "
Cody thought to himself this is going to be fun watching a different side of Sonny Walker.
Ailean noticed these guys right off the bat. They were not the regulars. They were different. Especially the one who was watching her very intently.
" Okay Dad spill it. Who are your friends here? And What is going on?" Ailean asked before he could even open his mouth. Sonny had been this whole time praying they would make it to the ranch in one piece. Considering the way Ailean drove.
" Well to answer your first question. These guys helped me two months ago bring Patriaka down. He was the one that killed Carly. Frank Donavon, Jake Shaw, Cody, Alex Cross, and Monica Davis, this is my youngest daughter Ailean. "
"Pleased to finally meet you guys. My dad told me about you and how you helped him. Thank you." Ailean said.
Frank couldn't believe it Sonny's daughter was thanking them for keeping her dad safe. But any daughter would be thankful for a second chance with her dad.
" The answer to your second question Ailean is someone is trying to hurt you. These guys are going to find out who." Sonny replied.
" Why is someone trying to hurt me?" Ailean asked. " You don't have anyone to protect you." Monica said.
" I've got my dad." Ailean replied. " I won't be around forever Ai. You need to settle down and give me some grandkids to spoil." Sonny said to her.
The team was watching a rare side of Sonny he was almost afraid for his daughter. He was actually asking her to get married. Monica knew this was out of fear that the same thing would befall Ailean just like Carly.
" Dad we had this argument three nights ago. I just haven't found the right guy yet. You always told me you have one great love in your lifetime. I am waiting for that. Wasn't mom yours." Ailean said.
" Don't wait forever Ai. It's lonely by yourself." Sonny said as he turned to look out the window. Alex noticed the sadness on his face.
She looked at Jake and asked " You guys work for the Justice Department?"
" Yes we do we are agents. Your dad helped us and in exchange for his help he got full immunity. " Jake answered her.
" Why won't they hurt my other sisters?" Ailean asked to anyone.
" Well probably because of their husbands and their occupations." Alex answered.
" We are almost to the ranch. My dad's hideaway. All one hundred acres of pasture and fields. We are now entering Tie Siding, Wyoming. Our spread is outside of town. We have horses and rescued animals. That's what I do during the summer rescue animals and breed our horses. Hank does it during the school year while I teach." Ailean said.
As they turned into the driveway which was actually a dirt road. The horses were out and running along side of the car behind a fence. Frank watched all the horses running and playing.
" That is my horse his name is Midnight Sky he's our stallion. The other two are Sorcha's and Bevin's horses. Our dad got them for as presents for us on our 21st birthdays. Their names are Moon Shadow and Night Wind. They are both mares." Ailean said.
Frank also noticed some ponies and other horses mixed in. Some of the other horses looked worn down or beaten down. They must be the rescued horses.
" What are the other horses stories?" Frank asked
" They were rescued from a rancher who believed in breaking a horses spirit to get him to obey. They are better but will never fully be themselves again. We also have dogs, cats, and my dad's favorite our resident potbelly pig Maxi." Ailean answered to Frank.
They pulled up to the house and stopped outside of the garage. It wasn't anything big. It was a nice size log cabin with a wrap around porch. French doors off the side of the house. It looked like it had a lot of rooms.
" Welcome to Tollgate Animal Ranch." Sonny said.
" Let's get you guys settled. Cody your computer stuff arrived yesterday and it is in my dad's den. You can work out of there. The guys have the three rooms in the back hallway and Alex and Monica have the two front ones next to my rooms." Ailean said.
Chapter 3 Home
Sonny looked at Cody and said " Don't touch any of my books." Cody just nodded. Sonny just smiled.
" We eat dinner about six o'clock and it is on the back porch." Ailean said as she walked off.
Jake just watched saunter off. She was different from any woman he ever knew.
" Where is she going" Jake asked. " Most likely to see if any new animals arrived while she was gone. Animals arrive up till six o'clock and sometimes in emergencies all hours of the night." Sonny said.
Just then they heard a loud bang from around back of the house. Everyone took off running. Jake and Sonny were in the lead. They found Ailean inside a pen with bucking horse. She was trying to calm him. Everyone heard her whispering to him. She was telling him nobody would hurt him anymore, he was safe, and that he was going to eat. Instantly the horse stopped bucking and let Ailean pet him on the nose.
" Now you see why she is brought everyone's outcasts she understands them. People around here call her a horse whisper because she has a way with them." Sonny said.
Ailean felt people watching her and turned to see everyone standing there. " Sorry about the bang. He was just scared" she said.
Sonny realized Jake made it to her first. He was going to have a talk with him later. For some reason it wasn't the usual talk about how his daughters were off limits. This one would be different.
" We better get settled in our rooms and start snooping around. After we are settled Alex, Monica, and Cody and I will go into town and start asking around.
Jake stay here with Ailean and Sonny." Frank said.
" Okay Frank. What do you want me to do with Ailean?" Jake asked.
" Help her out around here since all you've done for the past two hours has been look at her." Frank said. Jake got beet red and just nodded.
Everybody went into the house to get settled.
