Dylan all ways wondered what a father would be like when she was a kid.
Would he be like that freaky dad from "Leave It To Beaver"? Or the father
from the "Brady Bunch" who made all of those stupid jokes? Or Ozzy
Osborne?
Would he teach her how to fix cars, or show her how to water paint? Would he have a dirt bike? Or a mini van?
All of those questions had crowded her mind until she had heard Charlie's voice for the first time. She had all ways liked to think of him as her father. He acted like her father in more ways than one.
Now that Dylan had actually met her father.... she wasn't as excited as she used to be.

"How's Anthony?" Natalie had just arrived at the hospital, dragging Pete behind her.
"He's still in surgery. Hey, thanks for coming." Dylan said with a tired expression. It was now 3:45 in the morning, that explained it.
"Where's Alex?" Dylan pointed at the seat behind her. Alex was slightly snoring as she hugged a small light blue blanket around her.
"She looks comfortable." The rest took the rest of the seat in the waiting room. Hoping that they didn't have to wait much longer.

"You stupid idiot! You moron! I can't leave you alone for thirty minutes. You just have to stroll over to your daughter's house and kill the first person you could see?" Madison said as she paced the hotel room.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't fight the urge. I mean, when do we strike? I can't wait much longer." Madison rolled her eyes at her "partner" in crime.
"First, before we strike we need to find their weakness.." Ben nodded in agreement.
*****
"Honey!" It was now visiting hours at the hospital, and Anthony had finished surgery.
Anthony gave his wife a warm smile. He had trouble speaking before, he had more trouble now. So he decided, instead of gasping and trying to get words out, he wasn't going to try.
"How do you feel?" Anthony raised a eye brow.
"That bad huh?" Dylan sat next to her husband on the hospital bed.
"The doctor said you could get out of the hospital tomorrow if you promise to rest." Dylan squeezed Anthony's hand, he squeezed back.
Dylan knew Anthony as one of the toughest guys and one of the best fighters around, but she could see the fear in his eyes. She knew he was afraid that he wasn't going to live before and after the surgery. A person that amazing who could even live a stab through the chest still had feelings. That's why she was worried about the whole Ben thing. How could he handle it? What if Ben came back for Anthony, before he came for her?

"Dylan, get your butt over here ASAP!" Dylan had just received a phone call from Natalie. She and Alex had already gone back to the agency.
Dylan said her good byes to Anthony, promising that she would be back.
*****
"We got a phone call." Natalie pressed the "phone messages" button on the phone, and Madison Lee's voice started to come out...
"Surprised I'm alive? I bet you are. You girls might want to come down to the Marina. I've got somebody you need. Guess who..." Click.
"Madison Lee? That's impossible!" Dylan couldn't believe it. The devil from down under was still alive. And helping her father no doubt.
"Who could she have?" Bosley asked sitting on one of the chairs.
Dylan got a sudden rush of panic.
"When did you get this message?"
"About ten minutes ago. Why?" Alex walked over to Dylan who was leaning on a desk.
"And it only takes about eight minutes to get here from the hospital..." Dylan grabbed her car keys quickly, not taking a second of hesitation.
The other girls followed her to the parking lot.

"Anthony?" Dylan ran into the hospital room, expecting to see Anthony. But he wasn't there.
"They've got Anthony!"
Would he teach her how to fix cars, or show her how to water paint? Would he have a dirt bike? Or a mini van?
