My Dad Turns Out to be Eyes

138

Jessica slowly felt her eyes open as a voice entered her ears. He remained silent, his gaze blurred before then he saw Nathan entering his gaze. 

The young man's face was right in front of his face as his hands frantically pushed his hair from his face, stroking it backwards for the umpteenth time. 

Jessica slowly sat down, leaning against her side as Nathan felt her glasses fall from her nose.

"What's going on?" jessica asked muttering as Nathan continued to watch her, reassuring himself that the girl would be fine.

"You fainted" Nathan told him. "I found yourself here about ten minutes ago. Medical staff are on their way. How you feeling?"

"It looks like I'm having a headache," murmured Jessica holding her head. "I'm sure someone attacked me. Do you know who did this to me?"

"I'll check the CCTV after this" Nathan promised him. "Do you think you can stand?"

"Maybe," Jessica reassured him, holding both Nathan's hands and letting the young man pull him, helping himself to his feet. He was a bit unsteady for a while Nathan's hand held his waist to help him, propping him up. She wrapped one hand around Jessixa's waist, helping her move back down the corridor and into the white room.

"Sit down" Nathan urged him as he helped him to sit on a chair near his desk. Nathan leaned over to look the girl in the eye, held her cheek and made the girl fall silent at her gaze.

A moment later the door opened and two men in packs came in, their hands holding the P3K box as they walked towards the couple in the high-tech room. Nathan stood up and looked at him, biting his lower lip nervously. He wants nothing more than to protect Alison. He took her with him to the organization's office to make sure that the girl remained safe, but what was this? For Chrissakes.

"What's going on?" a medic asks and Nathan immediately comes forward to help the girl answer.

"He fainted. I found her in the corridor, but she seems to have returned well."

"We'll check on him" the other medics nodded, giving Nathan a smile.

Nathan was about to turn around and try to figure out through his computer who had already done this to Jessica, but he didn't manage to go far. Jessica's hand moved quickly to hold Nathan's wrist. Nathan's eyes looked at Jessica and found Jessica looking at him with a worried look. Slowly, he bent back down to kneel beside her and he took one of Jessica's hands into both of her hands, doing his best to convince the girl that everything would be fine.

"Well, all right, this is a nice surprise."

"Just for you."

Robert sat across from the man as he was handcuffed to the table, the attendant glaring at him before stepping out of the room, the steel door swinging shut behind him with a loud creak. 

Robert looked at her looking calm. Ah no, but she tried to remain calm even as she looked at the man who had made her suffer. Suffering because this man had managed to make his daughter sad for days.

"Well, I assume there's a reason for you to be here. What's the matter this time? Did you come to yell at me for what I did to that brat you call your daughter?"

"Jessica is none of your business. He never came in and it's your business."

"As you say," said John, his eyes glittering with comfort. He likes to mock the guy. That's why he lives. "I told you that I would take revenge one day.

Yeah, that little whore managed to outsmart me. But... well, you know what people say? Revenge is a dish best served when cold."

"You have to take him through my body first" Robert spoke.

Robert restrained himself. He knew very well that he could break John's neck at any moment. Yes, nothing would give him greater pleasure than seeing John cry out for mercy. He will do it if he has another chance. 

"I'm not here about Jessica" said Robert, his voice flat but the anger inside him could be felt. "I'm here about something called missile lock and terror in the Ministry"

John's brows furrowed and he leaned against his chair, a small grin appearing on his face. He was kept in the dark in prison. He was barely allowed to know any news. He committed treason. He is the number one enemy of BIN at the moment.

"Internal Ministry. I heard they were handling scientific research secretly at the request of the Ministry of Defense so as not to arouse suspicion. They're handling missiles that my colleagues are interested in. What's up with that?"

"They got a terror attack thanks to Dimitri Silva" Robert replied. "Do you know anything about that?"

John laughed loudly. He is unable to hold back. Robert's face remained flat as he waited for John to finish his laughter. He slowly subsided, remaining calm for a few seconds before a menacing grin returned to his face.

"They need someone to get the job done. Because yes you know I'm being held here. Who better than the world-famous mastermind?" John asked back from her. "Tell me if the key is still in your hands right now."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Are you sure about that?" John again wondered, shook his head and looked at Robert. "Dimitri is a smart man, isn't he? He is not stupid and he desperately wants to be one of the best criminals in the world. You know that clearly, Robert."

Robert remained silent, not too sure what he should say in response to John. The criminal seemed to find everything funny. The entire situation caused his rays to widen every second. Robert could not help it.

"Yes, if I were you, I'd run back to the organization building and see if the missile keys were still there. If Dimitri was involved in this game then that thing would have been lost by now. Ah, I wouldn't be surprised if your beautiful daughter wasn't there either."

Robert stood quietly, his pulse racing under his cold demeanor. He straightened his sleeves to his suit and looked back at John.

"And what is this?" John said he saw Robert standing up. "You're going to rush back to your precious daughter?"

"You'll never get to Jessica" said Robert, his voice low and deadly. "You're gonna spend the rest of your life here for all your betrayal of this country."

"Perhaps, perhaps not, either" John shrugged his shoulders indifferently. "I will change my mission to find your son. Is he with Nathan? I've been thinking about bringing him. To be honest, her mother was never that good in bed, but Jessica? He looks like-"

John never had a chance to finish his story as Robert leaned over the table, clenched his hands and floated up to touch John's face.

Robert stood back up straight as blood started dripping from John's nose and a guard rushed in, his eyes fixed on the shocking sight before him.

"He attacked me!" John shouted through his hands, doing his best to keep breathing.

Robert made eye contact with the guard who just shrugged his shoulders, obviously not caring in the slightest about what had just happened to John. Robert took a moment to nod at the guard as he carried John who resumed his screams.

After straightening back his sleeves, Robert walked out with a hand that moved into his pants pocket to check his phone. He grieves annoyance when he finds a worried text message from Nathan.

"Someone attacked Jessica." the message read.
