Chapter 11
Lily followed Reed out into the living room. She stopped as she saw a man with his back to hers.
"Dad?" She whispered.
The man turned. His back hair covered his head as dark brown eyes met hers.
"Hello, Lily," he said.
"What are you doing here?"
"Is that the way you talk to your father?" He said, derision marking his face. "I've come down to get you."
"I'm not going back, I'll never go back to you!" Lily said.
The man smiled, "I knew you were going to say that, so that's why I've brought some reinforcements," he said as he pointed behind Lily.
Lily turned and gasped as she saw Reed held at gunpoint by another man.
"No. You hired him? He tried to kill me!" Lily shouted.
"He failed at that, darling. This is his second chance," her father said as he sat down in one of the armchairs.
Lily looked at him in stunned amazement, "You hired him to kill me? Why?"
He sighed as if the answer was obvious, "Quite simply because you're a freak."
He stood up from the chair and walked over to Lily. He took her arm as he bent down to her ear. "Now you're coming with me, or he dies."
Lily watched her father point at Reed and she swallowed thickly. She shook her head. "No, I'll go with you. Just let him go."
"Lily, don't!" Reed shouted.
Lily's father yanked her towards hi, and looked at the assassin.
"Kill him," he said as he pulled his daughter.
Horrified, Lily cried "No!"
A gunshot rang out and Lily screamed. She looked at Reed and was stunned to see him still standing.
"Reed?" She whispered.
"What the hell?" Her father said, catching her attention.
Lily looked at her father and her eyes widened to see a growing red spot on his crisp white shirt. She yanked her arm out of his grip and she backed up as he fell to his knees. She shrieked as hands grabbed her arm.
"Lily! It's okay, it's me, it's Reed," He said as he pulled her to his chest.
Lily started crying, "Oh, Reed."
"Shh, it's okay," Reed crooned as he rubbed her back.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Her father rasped.
Reed and Lily looked back to see the assassin standing in front of him, his gun poised at his forehead.
"I don't work for you anymore, Fox. Let's just say somebody else gave me a much better offer," he said as he put his finger on the trigger.
"Don't do-" her father started to say before the other man shot him in the forehead. He fell backwards dead with a thud.
"No!" Lily cried.
The assassin turned at her voice and pointed the smoking gun at them. Reed held Lily tighter to him.
"Sit down," he said.
They complied with his wishes as footsteps came towards them.
"What's going on here?"
The assassin's gun aimed at the newcomer.
"No!" Lily cried just as Reed said "Sue!
