DADDY'S LITTLE GIRL
Daddy's Little Girl - Episode 10
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
I assumed Jonah was joking and decided to go along with the joke
"Marvel is inside the drink cooler, she's doing hide and seek game..." I said as I burst into laughter
Martin spoke cautioning me
"Sam.. Sam... listen to your boy, I guess this is serious. I know you're high but attend to his question so that he can take back answers to his mother.."
"Yes dad, Mom is worried. She's searching for Marvel. Zena said she came to meet you..." Jonah added
"Marvel is with...with..." I tried to think of the last place I saw her.
".. she's with your Mom, I left her with your mother.."
"Dad, you didn't leave Marvel with Mom. Marvel was with Zena and Hilda and you asked me to go watch over her but later changed your mind on that..."
"Boy, don't argue with your dad. You can see that he's tipsy. If he says your sister is with your mother then go ask your mom.." Julius said
"Don't mind kids of this days, always arguing, acting disrespectful and behaving without thinking..." I said, trying to support Julius
I don't even know if I was making sense.
Jonah left and just within few minutes
He was back
This time around he wasn't alone
He came with Edna, Zena, Hilda, Tracy and Grace
"Where's Marvel, you promised to watch her..."Edna barked ângrily
"I...I...don..t..." I couldn't utter any reasonable words as I try to get up from my seat
I staggered a little but remained standing
Seeing how serious the whole thing was, the men dropped their drinks and whatever they were eating
Martin who didn't drink much, went over to the women
"What's going on, Marvel is not here. She's probably somewhere around. Let's ask and search because night is fast approaching..."
"When last was she seen, and who saw her..." Drake asked
Grace replied almost immediately "Zena, the elder sister here, with Hilda went playing with her. They were playing together and Sam, promised to watch her after Edna refused Marvel going. Sam probably left to join you guys, leaving Marvel with Zena and Hilda..."
The drink was begining to clear off from my eyes as I sensed how serious the case was
"Zena and Hilda aren't too little to watch over Marvel. What exactly did they say that happened to her..." Drake turned and looked at his daughter, Hilda.
Edna turned to Zena and stared at her suspiciously
Zena spoke up immediately
"She said she was going to meet Dad, I thought dad was around somewhere and she can see him. I didn't bother checking as she walks away. It was when Mom came to check on us and asked of Marvel, I told her she was with dad. Mom returned back to her seat... Zena was saying when Edna interrupted
"I couldn't sit still, my mind wasn't at peace. I went back again asking if she was certain that Marvel was with her Dad , Zena assured me but I wasn't convinced. I Went to Jonah asking him if he saw Marvel with dad and Jonah explained to me what his dad asked of him earlier...
"...I quickly sent Jonah to come and check if Marvel was with his dad, Jonah didn't return quick, i assumed that Marvel was actually with him ..
"...Only for him to come tell me that Marvel isn't with him.
She turned to me ângrily
"...Sam... where's Marvel.."
"I..I left them playing, she was having fun while playing with Zena and Hilda..I..i don't know...I.." my memory was begining to form perfectly but slow.
"All this your I..I.. won't find my daughter. Please tell me where Marvel is, don't hurt me this way please...I beg you in the name of God..." Edna shouted impatiently
We dispatched to different locations, calling Marvel's name and asking people around if they've seen a little girl
Night has settled, our fear grew.
"You were supposed to be watching her, you promised to watch her Sam. You assured me and that was Why I allowed her to go. Why did you leave her alone...why? Drink was far more important than watching Marvel right? I need my daughter and all of this better be some expensive joke..." Edna said as we move to another location in search of Marvel
"Why are you accusing me, Marvel is equally my daughter too. I left her with Zena and Hilda thinking they will be fine. I never knew she was coming to come meet me...I really don't know what happened Edna. We will find her and she will be alright. Nothing will happen to her..."
Even though the effect of the drink was still dealing with me but I tried to stay sane to the moment.
People suggested that we quickly report to the police
Edna and I left to go lay a complaint at the nearest police station
Since I was still a bit tipsy, Edna decided to drive my car since that's the only car we came with
After putting down a statement on how it all happened, the police said we should give the missing person 24hours, if after that she didn't returned then they will go searching.
24hours was too long for Edna and I
As she drove us back to the hotel, she kept complaining how she can't keep calm, do nothing and wait for 24hours.
She doesn't know if Marvel is Safe out there or not.
She just can't sit still and wait for the police
I try telling her to wait probably somebody who will find Marvel and bring her back to us
Edna wasn't having it.
Argument broke out while in the car, she kept blaming me for Marvel disappearance
I couldn't just take it any longer
I blamed her for being too attached and judgemental.
I try to find something to blame her too so that we can both share in the blame.
When I saw she was winning, I open the car and walked away immediately we arrived our hotel
She was in the car for so long and didn't come out
It was dark outside and people had gone to sleep.
It was already 11:30pm
After almost an hour, I returned back to go check her, to apologise so that she can come in
She was sobbing heavily while holding about three different letters in hand.
I looked at the letters and my heart skipped
It was the three DNA results I secretly did on Marvel.
