Thanks for all the great reviews out there! I know a lot of people don't really accept Zelda's name, but anyways, let's continue with the story. Enjoy!
Days had passed by, battles went on without Engineer. Sure, we'd lost most battles, but his condition remained the same.
Soon, his daughter's birthday arrived. "How are you going to visit your family?" I asked Engineer.
"I don't know, I promised them that I'll be there," Engineer said.
"Herr Engineer, I do not recommend you to be moving around so soon," Medic advised.
"But anyways, I think I'm healthy enough to move around." Engineer protested. He tried to move his body but his wounds hurt tremendously. He groaned in pain. "Ach, Herr Engineer, how many time do I have to tell you, don't move around or your wounds might reopen!" Medic scoled.
"Can I represent you to visit them?" I volunteered.
He hesitated and said, "I think so..."
"You could give me your address and I'll catch a ride to your house," I handed him a pen and a piece of paper. He took it and wrote the address.
"Be careful on your way there!" Engineer said as I was leaving the Medibay. I asked Spy if I could catch a ride to Engineer's house as the others are in town, having fun. He agreed and I hopped into his expensive sports car.
"Mademoiselle Zelda, why do you want to visit Engineer's family?" Spy broke the silence.
"I just felt bad that his daughter had to spend her birthday alone," I explained.
"Ma fille..." Spy murmured.
"What is it, Spy?"
"I too, have a daughter. I was forced to leave her when she was very young, because my former job as an assassin may put her in danger," the Frenchman replied.
"But before you were assigned as the BLU team's Spy, surely you must went back home and find her?" I was baffled.
"A few years back, I went back to France, only to find out zat my house was empty. I tried asking the neighbours about my family, they all said my wife moved out weeks ago. As where they had left, I had absolutely no idea," Spy explained.
What if Spy really was...? I must try to find out.
'How old is she turning this year?" I slowly asked.
"Fifteen, mon cheri, why do you ask?" Spy answered.
I'm fifteen too.
"When is her birthday?" I was trembling.
"As for zat... I do not remember," Spy replied, as if he doesn't want to tell me about it.
No. Calm down. What if it was someone else?
"We've arrived. I'll come back in a few hours to pick you up." Spy said before I have any more thoughts in my mind. I thanked Spy and rang the doorbell, holding Becca's present tightly.
A middle-aged woman answered the door. She had auburn hair and liquid hazel eyes. "Hello, young lady. How can I help you?" she asked warmly.
"Umm... Are you Mrs. Conagher?" I asked.
"Well, yes, I am," she replied.
"My name is Zelda, I'm your husband's colleague, and I'm here for your daughter's birthday." I explained. She saw me holding the present and said, "Come on in, and make youself home,"
I walked into the house. It was a small but spacious house. Pictures of Engineer and his family adorned the walls. There's even a picture of his grandfather, Radigan Conagher.
"What makes Dell unable to come?" Mrs. Conagher asked, concerned. "Well, Mrs. Conagher-" "Please, Lauren is just fine," she cut me off. "He was hurt when an enemy slashed him. But he's alright now, he just needs more rest." I continued.
A little girl with brown braids ran into the room with a wide smile. "Is daddy here yet?" She asked happily.
"No, daddy is busy, so he sent his friend to join us on this party." Lauren said.
"Hello, Becca. This is a present from your dad," I handed her the present.
She tore it open and took Teddy Roosebelt out. "Wow, this teddy bear is so cute!" she squealed. "Can we eat the cake now, mommy?" she asked.
"Sure," Lauren answered. "Zelda, would you mind joining us on this little party?" she continued.
"I would love to!" I answered. She smiled and took a pink cake with an unicorn design on it from the refrigerator. We sang the birthday song and ate the cake. We plaed together for a little more until Spy was coming back to pick me up.
"Zelda, before you go, can you share the cake with the others? I don't think we can finish this cake." Lauren said before I was leaving. She put a few slices of cake into a container and handed it to me. "Sure, I will." I said before I left them.
How was this? Is Spy really Zelda's dad? You're welcome to guess, or rack up other theories. And how did Spy even manage to buy an expensive sports car? Please rate, and leave reviews.
