Meeting new people can be scary, but we hide our fears and put on a happy face.
When I woke up it was 5:00. Bella was still sleeping and I carried her up to the 21st floor.
When I got up their Elizabeth was there. She smiled and walked over to me. Bella was still sleeping.
Elizabeth hugged me close to her. She pulled away and looked at me.
"You are so lucky." She whispered to me.
I smiled and she looked at Bella.
"How old is she?" Elle asked me.
"She's 6." I responded.
Peter came down to the edge of the balcony.
"Listen up! We have to get Neal and Bella to the safe house Tuesday. Non of this information on there whereabouts can be known until we take down Roux."
I looked to see Mozzie with a piece of paper in his hand.
"Mrs. Suit, here are the directions to Tuesday. They want to get them to the safe house now."
Elizabeth nodded and she looked at me.
"Oh Neal, June was nice enough to give me some old clothes that Samantha used to wear that might fit Bella." Elle said to me.
"She's always so sweet." I said.
Elle, Mozzie, Bella and I rode in the Torus. Diana, Jones, Peter, and a new agent named Douglas rode in the van.
The ride to the safe house was quiet. Bella still slept in my arms and she had no intention of waking up.
We go to the safe house and I asked Elle if she could watch Bella.
When I got up to the house, I saw a figure standing there. I looked at it and the figure turned.
It was Alex.
"Hello, Neal." Alex said to me.
"Hi. What are you doing in Tuesday?" I asked.
"Mozzie called and said that you had a little burden on your hands." She said to me.
"Burden?" I asked, confused.
"Those were Mozzie's words, not mine." She looked at me.
I could here foot steps and people coming up. I saw Elle and she was still holding a sleeping Bella.
I took her from Elizabeth's arms and held her close to me. Alex looked at me. When she saw Bella she turned away.
I walked over to her.
"What's wrong?" I asked, sympathetically.
"Nothing."
Mozzie walked next to me.
"There is a room for you and Bella." Mozzie whispered to me. "Go get some rest. It's late.. Mr. Suit put the clothes in the room."
I walked with Bella and she woke up.
"Hey, sleepy head." I said to her.
She nodded and we got ready for bed.
We brushed our teeth and we got dressed in our PJ's. I brushed here hair gently. She leaned against me chest and I wrapped my arms around her. I kissed the top of her head. She looked at me and I smiled at her.
"Can you sing to me?" she asked.
I smiled at he and I sang to her.
By the time I was done, she had fallen asleep.
I could here the others outside of my room talking about how to catch Roux. I didn't want to listen.
I fell asleep with such tiredness that nothing could wake me up.
At about 3:00 in the morning I felt someone tossing and turning. It was Bella.
I woke up and she was crying.
"Bella, Bella, its ok. I'm here. Daddy's here." I took her in my arms and stroked her hair.
"I'm sacred!" she cried.
"I know. I love you, so much." I whispered into her ear.
She was scared and I knew it. She just kept crying and she couldn't stop herself. I held her until she could go back to sleep.
