Sorry i didnt get this out first. It would have made things a bit clearer. Sorry for that!
I had to drag Lindsey back to the hotel, which was hard because he was very strong and very determined.
"Let me go damnit! I want to go to her!" he screamed in my ear as he tried to get back.
"Sorry Lindsey. I'm not letting you go! Now stop acting like a baby and lets go back to the hotel." I felt him start to calm down and I let up on him a bit. He sighed and I saw tears in his eyes.
"It's okay Lindsey. I'm not going to let her stay there. We just need to regroup and not do anything rash." I explained to him as easily as I could. He looked up at me with the saddest face I had ever seen.
"I don't want to wait. I want her back now." He finally let the tears fall as we walked back into the Hyperion Hotel. I led him back into my office and sat him down on the sofa.
"Time to talk." I sat down across from him and stared him in the face.
"Who is Ghost and why does he want Alex?" Lindsey asked after a long period of silence.
"His name is really Erik. He is kind of a phantom. He is a genius too."
"So why is he here?"
"I have no idea. The real question is how do they know each other. Did she act suspicious at all?"
"She stayed out really late with friends a lot. I never met them though…" he looked at me and gasped.
"So you never asked her about her friends?" I asked, surprised that he wasn't as nosey as he looked.
"I thought I could trust her. I guess I kind of made a mistake."
"Well, we'll get her back. Don't worry about her. She really is in good hands." I assured him. He smiled but then it quickly faded when a question came to his mind.
"If you don't mind me asking, who is her mother? I don't know anything about her past before I got her." I cringed at the question because I had never told anyone who her mother was.
"It was… it was a girl named Buffy. One day, I was turned into a human and we kind of got carried away. I guess one time can do it huh?' I chuckled nervously. ' Well she didn't want anyone to know about the baby. She was missing as soon as she was about to start showing. She stayed away until the baby was born. After it was old enough to live without her, she left her to me so nobody would ever find out. I told most people that I found her in the streets so they wouldn't know. Then Wolfram and Hart found out that she was mine and took her away. Nobody knew why it hurt me so bad to lose my only child." I felt my eyes tear up as I relived the memories in my head. I felt a hand on my shoulder. When I looked up I saw Lindsey looking sorry for me. I did my best to give a smile but it didn't work very well.
"Well, after awhile, I gave up on finding her. I thought I had lost her forever. When you showed up and told me you had her, I felt like crying. I felt a rush of relief when you told me she was okay."
"I would never let her get hurt. She would get so mad when I wouldn't let her go to the movies with friends because I was afraid she would get hurt. Then came driving. I almost died when she got her license. She got a ticket for speeding. She was going 120 in a 55. I didn't let her drive for awhile." He started laughing and I joined in.
"I bet you two had a lot of fun over the years." I said solemnly. He smiled.
"Yes we did. But you know one thing hasn't happened yet."
"What is that?" I asked.
"Prom. I thought maybe you would want to be there too." I looked up at him, surprised.
"You would let me be there?"
"Of course she is your daughter. Just to tell you it's in two months and she already is going with someone."
"Who?" I asked, surprised.
"I don't know she never told me. I have no idea who it is."
"Well let's find out huh? I have a hint." I said quietly. He looked up at me in astonishment as he realized whom I meant.
"You don't think she would take Erik do you? She can't I mean… can she?"
"Let's get some sleep and we'll see in the morning."
"How are you going to get around?"
"We'll worry about that later too. I'll show you to a room." We stood up and I showed him a room that he could sleep in and I went down to mine and fell straight to sleep, leaving no time to brood that night.
