I went back to the stairs and hurried to my room. Then I jumped onto my bed, pulling my laptop onto my lap. I hit answer, then next time the call rang through. The screen lit up with my father’s face, one I haven’t seen in years, and I felt the tears jump to my eyes.
“Daddy.” I smiled. “I’ve missed you so much.” I wanted to be on the other side of the screen in his arms. I felt my breathing stop for a second as his face broke in to a smile.
“I’ve missed you too, baby girl.” A black box jumped into the call. “Thoth. Happy you could join us.” He smirked.
A deep voice chuckled, but it was warped. “I was here exactly at nine, but someone was late.” I couldn’t see his face, but I knew he was staring at me. “Why were you late?”
“Brandon.” All three of us growled.
“Why was he there?” Thoth
