Chapter 17: Chapter 17: CAITLIN

I sat on my bed, numb from the shock. I wasn't sure if my heart was broken or not, I couldn't feel my heart. I was in turns angry and afraid. Angry because I wasn't getting my way, and in a way, scared for the same reason.

I know my daddy, he's gruff and bossy with everyone and I know most people who don't know him would never believe what a big softie he is. But as his firstborn I know him, and I know that he would never deny me something I really want, and he knows how much I want this.

My mind went to my new uncles and all the secrecy surrounding them. Not like all the men daddy surrounds himself with aren't secretive rebel types, but these new uncles are very official. SEALs and government officials or whatever uncle Hank is. People that daddy doesn't usually hang around with or have much use for.
