Chapter 4 Chapter 4 " Your daughter ? " The man dragged out his words , like he was enjoying watching Daddy get scared , then he said : " Hard to say where she is right now . We tried calling you about the money , but you wouldn't pick up . Got my guys pretty ticked off , you know ? When we're angry and got nowhere to put it , well ... we gotta take it out somewhere . Tsk tsk . " Daddy suddenly remembered how he'd been so mad at me these past few days that he hung up on calls that might have been from me . Then later he got busy taking Kaya to some parent - kid activity and totally forgot about everything else . Daddy's vision went black and he almost collapsed in his chair as this huge scary feeling swallowed him up . ' Let me talk to my daughter ! I want to see her ! Video call me right now ! " Daddy was practically screaming and not making much sense , then he said : " I'll pay whatever you want ! Don't hurt my little girl ! Please ! " A video call ? That's not really gonna work right now . " he man sounded like a cat playing with a mouse , then he said : " Mr. Sullivan better start getting that money ready . Wait for our call ... " But right then , our front door made that beeping sound when someone put in the code . addy looked up super fast , and there I was standing by the entrance , looking totally messed up . was covered in dirt , my clothes were torn in a bunch of places , my hair was all tangled , and I had dust and little scratches on my face . he kidnapper guy was still talking on the phone , but Daddy couldn't hear anything anymore . le hung up and basically threw himself at me to hug me . Betty ! You scared Daddy to death ! Are you okay ? Are you hurt ? Did those jerks do anything to you ? " le was trying to check me all over . ut then I thought about how those bad guys called Daddy right in front of me , and he kept hanging up on them . I jumped back a step , moved away from his hands , and looked at him with really cold eyes . addy's hand just hung there in the air , and after getting all excited , he started wondering stuff , " How did you get back home ? " said really calmly , " Mommy saved me . " s soon as I said those three words , all the excitement disappeared from Daddy's face . He looked cold and mean , with disgust in his eyes . Betty Sullivan ! How long are you gonna keep acting like this ? " You made up this whole fake kidnapping thing ! Got your friends to call me and scare mel " You think this is fun ? This is how you're gonna get back at me ? How you're gonna get my attention ? " addy looked down at me like I was a piece of trash . I never thought you could be this awful ! And you're using Mommy as an excuse for your Hest " Aren't you scared she's watching from heaven and feeling heartbroken ? " You disappoint me so much . " Daddy kept yelling at me and saying mean things , but I didn't feel hurt or mad like I used to . even turned my head a little while he was shouting , trying to listen for this tiny sound I heard from far away . Daddy , I saw Mommy . I even got to hug her . " Chapter 4 My voice was really quiet , but inside I felt so happy and excited that there wasn't room for any other feelings . Daddy stopped for a second , then got even madder . " Go to your room ! I don't want to see you anymore ! You've completely lost it ! You're scaring me ! " Whether Daddy believed me or not didn't matter to me at all anymore . I smiled a little bit . I found Mommy .
