The girl was definitely as stubborn as her mother, Gabriel would give her that much. But she did have a point and he should answer her questions. â€œI was not insulting your intelligence, my dear Angel,â€ he began with a bit of a chuckle, â€œand again Iâ€™m not expecting you to trust me or even like me for that matter.â€ There was a brief pause; he decided to just get straight to the point without hiding anything. Of course he didnâ€™t come here with the intentions of hiding anything from her anyway. There was a part of him that was relieved that he was able to speak to her like she was older than she was. â€œI can tell you one thing youâ€™re a lot like your motherâ€¦ stubbornâ€¦ gorgeous. Itâ€™s almost unfortunate but thatâ€™s beside the point. The point is your mother isnâ€™t dead, sheâ€™s still very much alive and I can even take her to see you though I doubt sheâ€™ll know who you are.â€<br/><br/>He paused again and sighed. This really was going to be harder than he thought but he was running out of time. Any second he could be found out and then he would never see her again.<br/><br/>â€œAgain, unlike her I actually want to be in your life. Youâ€™ve got me all wrong; I donâ€™t want you because youâ€™re beautiful. I want you because youâ€™re my daughter.â€ Gabriel told her matter-of-factly. He could already feel itâ€¦ years of trying to get to her fading again. At least he got to see her, how much she has grown, if she does not want to come with him. If only he could have come sooner. If only he could have fought harder to keep custody instead of losing her, finding out that bitch just gave her away in the end anyway. Nothing angered him more than that. While he would admit he has not been much of a father at all to Angel credit needed to be where it was due. He wanted to at least try to be there for her while he still had the chance<br/><br/>She could be as defiant as she wanted, but Angel was going to come with him.<br/><br/>â€œEverything is ready, sir,â€ Butch came back in, eying Angel up again. Before he could say anything more Gabriel held a hand up to silence him. Butch just rolled his eyes. He knew better than to question Gabriel but they had to hurry before something happened. He had left the woman behind (actually she had ordered him to go get Gabriel) with the van to look out.<br/><br/>-------------------------<br/><br/>Before the men left files of his targets were given to Azrai as protocol. He looked through them carefully to make sure nothing was missed and was rather impressed by what he saw like he usually was whenever he was given a personâ€™s file. They wanted all of these men killed by the end of the month, which was not a lot of time to work with. He was going to have to be quick in getting everything done and done right, since he could not afford to fail again.<br/><br/>-------------------------<br/><br/>The woman knew this day would come. She has been working undercover for the Kennedys for a long time in order to keep watch over Gabriel and make sure that this didnâ€™t happen. They were going to be angry with her for failing to keep her end of the deal, but they didnâ€™t know the kind of man Gabriel was and she only had a few minutes before he came out.<br/><br/>Quickly she dialed the number she knew, â€œHello? Is this Mister Kennedy? I donâ€™t know if you remember me, but this is Amanda. Your daughter is in the hands of a dangerous man named Gabriel, Iâ€™m sure you remember him. I apologize for allowing this to happen.â€ She knew that they would be angry with her but she was not perfect. It was her fault and she was a bit frustrated. Of course she left out the part of Angel being around a registered sex offender.
