Chapter 5

Marie stood there staring at her mother...She couldn't believe the words that had just come from her mouth...How was it possible that Steve wasn't her father?

Marie stood quiet for a few minutes before she yelled "LIAR! Why are you lying?"

Camille looked at her daughter and said, "I'm not lying...Look you're father...damn it...Steve has an older brother that I slept with before I slept with Steve...He had a paternity test done as soon as you were born, but he didn't want to have anything to do with you, and Steve never knew I slept with his brother and always assumed you were his daughter."

Marie started pacing the room and said, "Great...Just great...So not only are you a fuckin lunatic psycho who paid a hit man $ 25,000 to kill your own daughter, because you didn't want to tell her the truth about her Biological father...But you are a SLUT too. Did Steve ever find out I wasn't his daughter?"

Camille shook her head no and said, "He loved you more then any father would love their daughter...In the end I couldn't break his heart and tell him."

Marie said, "Nice...You couldn't tell him or me the truth but you could have me FUCKING KILLED! Who's next? Huh? You gonna have Steve gunned down viciously like me? I'm fuckin lucky I lived through it...And I will hate you until the day you die...you're going to ROT in fuckin prison with all the other low life's of America and you're going to die there, cause I damn sure won't plead your case for parole, and I won't let Steve near your ass...He might not be my biological father...but he's the ONLY parent I have who loves me."

Camille said, "That's not true Marie, I love..." Before she could finish Marie leaned across the table and punched her mother right in the mouth, and watched as the chair tipped backwards and hit the concrete floor as Agent Simms, helped the shackled woman to her feet.

Marie stood there and saw the blood dripping from her mothers mouth and nose and said, "Don't you dare sit there and tell me you love me...You tried to have me killed, because you couldn't tell me the truth...you've been lying to me for 25 years...There's no way you can love someone you lied to for 25 years. I hope you sit in jail, die some evil blood lusting death and then rot in hell...Don't plan on seeing me ever again unless your dead...Cause I never want to see you again."

Marie took one last look at the creator who gave her life rolled her eyes and left the room. She had an over whelming feeling to run. She took off down the hall and John watched as she ran by him out the doors and took off after Marie.

When John ran out the door of the Federal building in Washington DC, he found Marie sitting on the curb in the pouring ran...she wasn't moving, she wasn't crying...she was just sitting watching as people drove or walked by. John walked over and sat next to her and touched her hand.

Marie looked over, when she saw John, she threw her arms around his neck...and he carefully slid her body into his arms as he stood and walked to the rental car...After getting her in and situated he took her back to the hotel.

Once back in the hotel, John pulled her cold, wet clothes off and hesat in a warm tub of water with her...she calmed down enough to tell him everything that happened...Everything seemed surreal to him...and now Marie was trying to debate with him about whether or not to tell Steve the truth, or how to tell him.

Later that night, John held Marie close to him...He wasn't about to let her go...She needed him now and he was going to be there supporting her every step of the way...He leaned over and kissed the side of her neck and felt her snuggle back against him more...as they both let sleep take over their emotion filled bodies.
