'How did I get myself into this?' Jerry thinks as he sits there staring at the envelope in front of him. He hasn't opened it yet, but he knows who it’s from. After a while he picks it up and looks at it some more, turning it over and over in his hands. It looks just like all of the others. Plain white, regular stamp, and no return address. He opens it after about two hours of looking at it, dreading what is inside. What he pulls out is worse than he would have imagined. He is holding a candid shot of his 18 year old daughter, Kali. Even under these circumstances he can’t help but think of how extraordinarily beautiful she is. Her light mocha skin, her slightly slanted silver eyes, her perfect figure, her waist length black hair with natural red highlights, and her beautiful smile that could light up the whole world. He thinks of how much she looks like her mother. Her mother was Cherokee and died when Kali was 3 years old. He reached back into the envelope and pulled out a piece of paper, the words on it were typed as usual. But this time they made him cry. Bring Her To Me. Tomorrow, 9:30 PM, K-Cabin. He cried for a while and then reached for his cell phone. "Hey, Kali, I’m gonna pick you up tomorrow around 3 in the afternoon. We can enjoy the long weekend together." He hung up the phone after leaving the message. Knowing he just signed her life away, and very well that he would never see her again after tomorrow.... -------------------------------------------------- Kali loves when her father decides to pick her up for a weekend or does something spontaneous. Its what she loves most about him. So naturally when she got his message she started packing right away, completely unaware of what was in store for her. She went through her closet and pulled out five pairs of super short shorts, she always loved to show off her nicely toned legs. She also pulled out her favorite tanktops. "Nothing like comfort." she laughed to herself as she packed them in her suitcase. She set her alarm clock for mid-morning tomorrow and climbed into bed. ------------------------------------------------------ "Why am i doing this." Jerry asks himself outloud as he pulls up into her driveway. He was up all night crying, hating himself for what he is going to do. He gets out of the car and slowly walks up to the door, placing a false smile on his face right before Kali opens the door. She gives him a huge hug right after the door opens. "Hi daddy!" she squeals in delight. Expecting this to be just another spontaneous weekend. She steps back letting him into the house. She has done well for herself, already has a 3 story house and plenty of space. "Wait in the living room for a minuet. okay?" she says as she walks up the stairs. "Hurry up sweetie, were on a tight schedule today." "alright dad. so where are you taking me today?" she calls down the stairs. He pauses for a minuet not sure what to say. "I rented a cabin up in the woods, were gonna spend our time there, swim and stuff." She smiles to herself in the mirror, thinking of all the fun she can have. "That will be great!" Ten minuets later she comes back down the stairs dressed and ready to go with her two suitcases. "im ready." she announces as she enters the living room. ------------------------------------------------------------- They drive and talk as if everything was normal, to Kali it was normal, but to Jerry it was torture, the last time he would see his daughter, The last time he would hear her laugh, the last time he would see her smile, she just seemed so carefree. After four hours of driving they come to the last town before the cabin he was told to take her to. He stops the car in the parking lot of a convinience store. "Lets grab a disposable camera or two, and just take pictures and junk." he suggests to her. "Sounds fun daddy." They go into the store, she grabs snacks and things and he gets five cameras. Wanting to remember her happy, and smiling. After they pay they get back in the car and start taking pictures immidiately. It helps him that she is so photo-genic. She is using two of the cameras to just take pictures of herself. He smiles at seeing her happy, but the smile doesn't reach his eyes, he hates himself more and more as their destination gets ever closer. By the time the rest of the trip to the cabin is up, all cameras are full, she had changed in the car at least eight times, she says that makes the pictures more interesting, and he almost cried twice. They pull into the drive of the cabin and he shuts off the engine. She is looking at the large cabin in front of her, it has four floors above ground, The whole top floor has glass windows as walls, its right next to a very private lake, with a house boat at the dock, and it looks amazing, little does she know how much shee is going to hate it before the night is over. "Its amazing dad, how did you get the money to rent this place?" "It was nothing." They get out of the car, bringing all of her things with her. They walk up to the door, burnt into the wood of the door in elaborate script is the letter K. He grabs the key from the top of the door frame and opens the door he helps her bring her things in. Looking at the clock on the wall he sees he has a little over 30 minuets till he gets here.... ------------------------------------------ He Looks up at the sign saying they just entered his territory. "Jerry better be here with that sweet young cunt of a girl he calls his daughter." "He will be sir, he will be." Juan says confidently. "Keep driving." He looks at the pictures his men have taken of Kali. "I dont want to keep them waiting." ----------------------------------------- "DAD!" Kali calls down the stairs after seeing a hummer and two Dodge Rams pulling into the drive of the Cabin. "Who are those people?" Jerry takes a quick glance out the window. "Mother Fucker." he mutters under his breath. "Stay upstairs Kali." "Why?" He Starts for the door. "Just stay upstairs and out of sight." Kali recognizes his serious tone and knows he is serious. He opens the door and walks out into battle grounds. ---------------------------------------- He watches as his cabin door opens and out steps Jerry, Who looks scared shitless. As jerry approaches the hummer he slowly opens his door, and steps out. "Jerry, so good to see you. Is she here?" He asks as he tosses the photos at Jerry's feet. Jerry reflexively looks down at what his tormentor threw at his feet. What he sees is utterly shocking. His daughter getting undressed for the shower, Going to and from work, Shopping, and much more things. "You're sick." Is all Jerry can utter. "So is she here?" Jerry looks away, jittery, before turning back to him. "Well Jerry. I dont have all day." "Yes She is here." "Good." He walks past Jerry. ------------------------------------------ Kali looks down from the windows. She sees her father talking to a tall, well built man, not like he takes steroids, but like he does a small amount of working out to keep himself healthy. He has long black hair that falls down his back he has kept in a tight braid. He has a light tan like he stays out in the sun just enough to be goldened not over tanned. He is not wearing a shirt and has a well defined six-pack. "Who is my father talking to?" She mutters to herself, finding an attraction to this mystery man. She watches as the man throws something at her father's feet. As her father looks away then back at this man. As this man walks past her father beckoning him to follow. As they go out of sight.
