Chapter 15

We ate our food and headed towards the park, if we wanted to meet him, it would have to be after we finish a job he will appear in public and come meet us. Even Angela wasn't able to sense his presence if he concealed it.

"So how do you know he won't kill us for leaving?" Angela asked as we walked through the crowded park.

"I don't, I don't expect him to need to as long as we don't taunt him." I told her, so far she's taunted enough people and getting us into bad situations, it was something she needed to work on.

We went sat down in the grass and waited patiently for him to show up. The park was full of people as usual, almost year around it was packed with people and their pokemon. Within a few minutes, I could feel that same dark and eerie feeling I always felt in his presence.

"Hello you two." He said quietly as he emerged from the crowd and approached us.

"Good job in taking down Darkrai, you should get your payment soon." He told us as he walked over to us.

"We've got something we have to tell you." I said nervously, feeling Angela put her hand on mine.

"And that would be?" He asked.

"We want to retire." Angela spoke out.

"Okay, just as long as the equipment is returned." He said with a weak smile.

"Equipment?" I thought, all the stuff at my house was owned by me, none of it was borrowed.

"I mean her." He said as he lazily pointed one finger at Angela.

"Wait. What!?" I thought to myself, shocked by what he had said

"No! There's no way you can take her." I told him angrily as I moved myself in front of Angela.

"Why do you want her!?" I asked him.

"Because. She's my daughter." He said with mischievous smile as he stepped back and he disappeared in a black cloud of smoke, he reappeared as a zoroark like Angela, he was exactly like her except for that he had a scar over his left eye.

"You're my father?" Angela asked in shock, I was about just as shellshocked as she was.

"Yes Angela, I'm your father." He told her.

There was a moment of silence and I didn't have a clue on what either would do next, I was worried that Angela would leave me and go with him.

"Why did you leave mom and I to die!?" Angela asked angrily.

"Because I didn't want children, I just used your mother and when I found out that she was gonna have you, I killed her. She was weak but you are not, come with me, my daughter." He said evilly with a smirk as he shrugged casually.

Angela looked at him in total shock, I could see the anger building up in her and I knew what she was about to do. With almost incomprehensible speed, she appeared below him, he didn't have time to react as she kicked him straight in the jaw. He went flying back a couple feet and landed on the ground loudly, he struggled to get up and he was just as surprised as I was.

"You're not my father, I don't have one." Angela told him as she calmed down and walked back over to me.

"You'll pay for that, one day." He told us as he disappeared into another illusion and blended in with the crowd of people.

I had realized we had started a scene and that we should probably leave. We walked home quickly, she didn't talk, she didnt hold my arm like usual, I was worried about what she was thinking. I was expecting that she would break down as soon as we got home but she didn't, her face was just emotionles, like she didn't know what to feel.

"Angela, are you okay?" I asked her worriedly.

"I'm okay, I just need some time to think." She told me as she walked into my bedroom and laid down across the bed.

I walked over to the bed and sat beside her, petting her long mane, hoping she was okay, I was worried that she would possibly get angry and destroy something.

"At least I have a bit of clarity." She told me as she got up and hugged me sadly.

"Everything will be okay, I bet your mother was watching that all happen from somewhere else and she laughed her ass off." I told her, trying to cheer her up.

She giggled a bit and rested her head on my shoulder and sighed, she continued to hug me close to her, her fur was so warm and comforting to me and it helped to make me calm down.

"You better be a better father than him." Angela warned me teasingly.

"I'm pretty sure just about any dad could do better than him." I told her back jokingly.

She laughed a bit and continued to hug me, she planted a small kiss on my cheek and she looked me in the eyes.

"When will we do that?" Angela asked anxiously.

"I don't know, we've finished being mercenaries, we are home alone, and we are in my bed, when do you think?" I told her sarcastically.

"Smartass." She said happily as she kissed me and we fell onto the bed together.
