Three days passed since Phil's father paid his last visit and did not leave pleased. He told Phil that the only reason he had agreed to leave his family alone was only if he would keep the business running which he was not interested in doing. Alex was visiting and came over when Phil told him what had happened, he advised to call their uncle, Mark.

"Look Philip, your father is not happy." Mark explained, "He hasn't said anything to me about what he's planning but I know he is not happy and he isn't listening to me."

"I'm not afraid of him, I will kill him if I have to, if he comes near my family."

"Alright Phil, lets be rational here, if you approach him with force that may only make things worse." Alex said.

"Your brother is right," Mark agreed, "The only thing we can do is let your father cool down."

"Do you two not remember what that man is capable of!?" Phil raised his voice, he was surprised at how his brother and uncle simply advised him to let his father cool down thinking it will do any good. "That man is soulless, he's heartless and he will not back off if we simply just give him space to cool down."

Just then Dan walked into the room, he looked at Phil worried, ever since Phil told him what had happened he couldn't stop worrying. He kept a close eye on Lexie and Cole although they couldn't go anywhere or get in any sort of trouble, he knew what the man was capable of.

"So what did your uncle say?" He asked after hung up.

"He doesn't know anything." Phil sighed, "I still say that I need to go and put an end to this."

"Look Phil I know you think sitting around won't do anything but he probably expects you to try something." Alex explained.

"I think Alex is probably right Phil.." Dan said quietly.

"You don't know what he's fucking capable of Dan!" Phil yelled standing up. "We'll just sit around and wait for him to target our kids how does that sound!?"

"I thought you said you weren't worried and that you can handle it." Dan stood up so he was face to face with Phil.

"Yeah I wasnt because I had a plan which all of you are against!" Phil shouted.

"Just talk to me when you've calmed down, you're not going to listen." Dan said, he took his car keys from the table and headed towards the door, "I have to take Cait to the doctors we will talk later if you can handle a mature conversation."

Phil sighed in frustration and sat on the couch burying his face in his hands. Alex sat down next to him putting his hand on Phil's shoulder. Lexie heard the shouting she walked up to Phil reaching for his hand trying to move it away from his face.

"Daddy?" She whispered looking at him concerned. Phil looked down at her, he picked her up and sat her down on his lap.

"I'm sorry baby, I'm okay." He said kissing her forehead.

"The only reason we aren't all in with your plan is because of your kids Phil.." Alex explained, "I agree that we have to stop him but you going to approach him is predictable and I know what he's capable of and I know he won't hesitate in killing you then it will be easier for him to get to Dan and your kids."

Phil looked down at Lexie and then at Alex and nodded in agreement. They needed a different approach, something his father won't expect. Phil felt guilty for shouting at Dan now, he was just also worried about their kids and Phil. He pulled out his phone and called him a few times but no answer, he assumed that maybe he was at Caitlyn's appointment so he texted him instead;

I'm sorry I shouted at you, come home quickly. Ily x

A few hours had passed and Dan still didn't text or call back, Phil was worried that maybe he had crossed the line and Dan was still mad at him. Alex told him not to worry and that he was probably with Caitlyn talking to her. When his phone rang he hurried to it but was confused when he saw Caitlyn's number.

"Where the hell is Dan? I called and texted him a million times I had to go to my appointment alone!" She said angrily.

"Wait but he said he was going to take you to the doctors, he left three hours ago." Phil said confused.

"No he never showed up,he did text me a few hours ago that he's on his way but nothing after that."

"Um Phil.." Alex said looking at his phone worried, "Mark just texted me, you might want to see this.."

Phil took Alex's phone carefully reading the text;

John has Daniel. If you have a plan you better get going before its too late. -mark
