Once me and Tre got inside we quickly found Regan standing by the bathroom and Melissa laying face down on the floor. The rink was in complete silence and security was crawling all over the place.

"Take this crazy bitch out of here." I heard Regan say to rink security.

Two of the guys in yellow shirts helped Melissa to her feet and escorted her up to the doors where me and Tre were standing. Tre grabbed at my arm and forcefully pulled me away from her.

"Watch out Carly. You don't know what she might try and do." He said angrily.

"It's ok. I'm fine." I said as I watched her get carried away.

Another guy from the rink security went over to Regan with a pad of paper in his hand and began taking her statement.

"I'll be right back." I said to Tre and ran over to Regan.

"Hey! What happened? Why was Melissa down on her ass?" I asked as I hugged her.

"She tried to attack me." Regan said with a very annoyed and angry voice.

When I noticed her face she had what looked like to be four scratch marks on her face.

"If that was her idea of an attack she really has no type of self defense training dude." I giggled.

"I know right! Her deadbeat boyfriend should have taught her how to fight instead of teacher her how to be a lame ass criminal." She laughed.

Two more security guys ran out the front door while another one was clearing out the rink to begin the investigation.

"So what exactly happened here for you to get attacked Miss Jenson?" The man asked.

"That crazy woman tried to have this girl kidnapped in broad daylight by the guy that's outside being held by my friends until the cops show up." Regan answered.

The guard looked at me over his glasses and turned to me.

"What's you name miss?" He asked me in a stern voice.

"Carlyn. Carlyn Nelson. I'm 16 and my father is Prince Nelson. He's outside giving the kidnappers the ass whoopin' he deserves hopefully." I responded in a flat tone.

  "And Carlyn how did you come in contact with your attacker?"

  "Well that hoe cornered me in the bathroom and her ass hat boyfriend tackled me like Ray Lewis to the floor when I got away!"

  "Do you have any connection to either of them?"

Me and Regan looked at one another. I didn't even want to admit that me and Melissa are from the same planet let alone gene pool. I turned back to the security staff and sighed deeply feeling the words ready to pour out of my mouth.

  "Melissa is my aunt. My mother unfortunately was a twin. That bitch just got the short end of the stick." I replied.

  "Carly be nice." I heard Regan giggle under her breath to me and she gave me a jab in the arm with her elbow.

  "What? It's true! That coo coo for Cocoa Puffs bitch is off her rocker! She had my mother murdered!" I said feeling my anger getting the best of me.

  "Language Carly. You know how daddy Jehovah is now that he's a full blown convert." Regan said reminding me that my dad could show up and any moment.

The man looked at both of us shaking his head and going back to taking his notes.

  "Have either of you tried calling the police about them before now?" He asked.

  "Well first of all I basically am the police." Regan shot at him crossing her arms."

  "Beg your pardon miss?" The man snapped back.

  "Yeah girl I beg too! You're a cop?" I questions surprised at what I just heard.

Regan reached in her back pocket and pulled out a little black wallet that contained a small card with her picture on it. The man took it from her hand and read it over carefully.

  "Indianapolis SVU?" He asked.

His face looked like he didn't believe any of it. Regan wouldn't lie right? I mean she's cool! Nobody would lie about working for the law would they? Better question would be does my dad know? The staffer handed back her credentials and she put them back into her back pocket.

"Yes I have been trying to catch the ones who killed her mother since the news broke years ago. I had volunteered to search for her daughter who was taken from her when she was an infant but after six months the case had went cold. Five years later I got word that she was involved in a deadly hit and run and they never caught the driver. I had asked that I be assigned to the case because of the connection between the accident and missing child. Officer Jacobs didn't find it wise to do so because it's a personal matter to me.....but I wanted to do it anyway."

Regan looked over at me and gave a small smile as she tried to fight back her painful tears. It seemed to me that she was trying to suppress the memories of being with my weeping mother and then finding out that she was no longer alive. There was still one unanswered question; does daddy know about this? I couldn't take this question tugging at my emotions like a puppet on a string.

"Regan? Have you talked to my dad about this? Does he know your doing all of this for me?"

Regan turned to me and placed her hands on my shoulders.

"Kid.....he doesn't know everything. I can't tell him that I'm on the payroll of a man he can't stand."

My mind was filling with even more questions! My dad has beef with someone on the Indianapolis police force? My dad isn't one to beef with anybody! He's always so.......religious and holy! Who would he have a problem with? Moreover who would have a problem with him. The story between these two is endless. How much do I not know about how deeply rooted their relationship is and now it's pouring out in front of me like a waterfall thawing out from the harshness of winter colds. I gave her a simple nod in understanding because there was something about her sincerity that made me trust that he had my dad's feelings and best interest in mind. She was willing to do whatever it too to protect me and him at all cost. It would only want me to have her stick around even more. I know she only has a few days left in Minnesota but one the one hand she should still tell my dad what's going on. On the other hand he might convince her to quit her job and stay with him. Both scenarios would work for me but at the same time I wouldn't want her to sacrifice her happiness for me or my dad.

"Listen to me Carly. I want you to keep what I do between us ok? At least until I can find the right way to tell your father. I can't lie to him but it's gonna be hard to break the news to him."

"I can help you tell him. We'll just.....be smart about it." I replied.

"We can be smart about it all we want but you and I both know that your daddy is believed to be omnipresent and it wouldn't be surprising if he found out about it by now. It's just better if I tell him myself."

Just then a voice was heard from behind me and Regan's eyes widened with fear.

"Tell me what?"

I know that deep handsome voice anywhere.

"Prince!" Regan said startled.

I turned to find him with my uncles clutching his fedora tightly. He looked very confused and very worried.

"What is it that you want to tell me Regan?" He asked as his voice shook.

My heart raced as the tension began to grow like a young oak tree in the room. I hope after today Regan doesn't leave. I also hope that my dad won't chase her away.
