Alison's heart stopped in her chest. Where had she gone? She yelled her name one more time, when her daughter came running to her.
"Where did you go? Where did you get that from?" she asked, noticing a lollypop in her daughter's hand as she pulled her in for a hug.
"A nice man gave it to me. He called me Angel Rose, and told me he'd be seeing me again soon."
Before Alison could say anything, Jack was running from where her daughter had just come. She was ready to go home now, she didn't feel like being in the park anymore today. As she was ready to yell Jack's name, he came walking back.
"There was nobody that I could see." He said, leaning over and giving both of them a hug.
"I think it's time to go home," she said, with a loud sigh.
"But Uncle Dack didn't push me on the swing yet." Angel said, giving the same sad face her dad did.
"Hey, how about when Aunt Reese gets back I promise we'll come here again and swing then? Is that ok?"
"Ok"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------
Alison walked back into the house, with Angel in her arms and Jack following behind her.
"Hey sweetie, why don't you go play in your room so I can talk to Uncle Jack?" she smiled down as her little girl ran off.
"Do you mind staying her until Rafe gets home? I don't think I'm up to staying here for the next few hours alone."
"Sure. Why don't you sit down, and I'll get you something to drink," he said worried about who it might have been that lured Angel away.
They sat and watched the television and talked for awhile. There were times when they seemed to be both thinking about what had just happened, but wouldn't say anything. Before they knew it they heard Rafe's car pull up, and walk to the front door.
"Hey baby," he said, leaning over to give his beautiful wife a kiss, "How was the weekly trip to the park with Uncle Jack?" he asked, about to head back to Angel's room.
"Rafe, come sit down for a minute before you go get her. There's a reason Jack is still here. We were at the park, and I turned my head for a second and the next thing I knew she was gone. We called her name a few times, and then she came back around to us with a lollypop in her hand. She said a man called her Angel Rose and said he'd be seeing her again soon."
"I went running to try and catch him, but it wasn't any use. Whoever it was had already gotten away."
"Did you call the police about this?"
"No, not yet. I was so shook up that we just came back home, and Jack said he'd sit with me until you got here."
"Well, the first thing we need to do is call the police. Let me go talk to Angel and see if she can tell me anything."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------
Rafe walked into his daughter's room and saw her playing on the floor with her dolls. She was so beautiful. Alison said she always saw him in her, but he didn't see that. All he could see was this little sandy blonde girl that had the same mannerisms as her mother. He walked over and sat down next to her, giving her a kiss on the top of her head.
"Daddy!" she yelled as she jumped on top of him.
"Hey there sweetie," he said. "What all did you do today?"
"I helped mommy with the laundry, and then had a snack, and then went with Uncle Dack to the park."
Rafe laughed at how she said Jack's name, he'd actually caught himself calling him Dack once. "Mommy said that you met a new person there today, can you tell me about him?"
"Yeah, he gave me a lollypop, but mommy made me throw it away. He had dark hair, and said he'd come visit soon."
"Sweetie, if you ever see him I want to you to go get me or mommy or whoever you're with and tell us immediately. Don't go near him though, unless we say it's ok. Do you understand that?"
"Yes. Are you mad at me, daddy?" she asked, looking at him with those big blue eyes.
"No, sweetie, I could never be mad at you. I love you too much."
"I love you too daddy."
Rafe smiled as he went out of her room and back into the living room. He was wondering who it could have been. Whoever it was knew her middle name was Rose, and that's what worried him. It couldn't have been Caleb, even though it had been so long he was still a threat. It must have been someone that knew every week Alison and Jack took Angel to the park. He may have been watching them for a long time. That scared him more, that his family was being watched.
"So, did she say anything to you?" Alison asked, having just walked Jack out of the house.
"Nothing more, except he had dark hair." Scratching the back of his head. "I've realized something though. I'm not trying to scare you, but he probably knew you and Jack were going to be at the park today. If that is the case, then he may have been watching you all for a long time."
"Well, I never noticed anyone that seemed to be there without a child. Do you think it could have been Caleb? Or somehow Joshua came back?"
"No, if it were Caleb he wouldn't have done it like that. This person wants us to be scared first. I don't want to let him win, but next week maybe you and Jack can skip the trip to the park."
"Ok, I'll call him and tell him later. We'll figure out something, because I know Angel will be upset if she doesn't get any Uncle Jack time. Why don't we start on a better subject now?" she asked scooting over on the couch to curl up in his arms.
"Oh, and what would you like to talk about now?" he asked with that sly grin on his face.
"What would you like for dinner tonight?" she asked, jumping up and going to the kitchen. "I was thinking spaghetti maybe."
"That's fine, and that was a mean trick you played just now," following her in and putting his arms around her waist."
"I'll make it up to you later, I promise."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------
"So what was tonight's bedtime story?" Alison asked while standing at the bathroom mirror getting ready for bed.
"We read a Clifford book, of course she was asleep by the time I was halfway through," answered Rafe as he walked into the bathroom to brush his teeth.
"That's nothing new though," she said walking back to the bedroom. She got under the covers on her side of the bed. From where she lay she could see him at the sink. Even after being married for three years she still loved to just watch him. Her favorite time was when he was unaware of what she was doing.
Turning out the light, Rafe got into the bed next to his wife. He leaned over with a kiss on her lips and whispered, "I love you, Mrs. Kovich."
"I love you, Mr. Kovich," she responded, as she leaned in to him for a kiss. At that second his head turned, and she ended up starting to kiss his neck. She then started creeping up to his ear. There was a spot, right behind his ear that made him gently moan. He rolled her over on top of him, and they melted into each other.
Alison's heart stopped in her chest. Where had she gone? She yelled her name one more time, when her daughter came running to her.
