Mr Grey's SUV just left his airport and into the roads of jade city, In his rearview mirror was a billboard with the picture of a Woman in her forties with graying

hair that stopped on her shoulders, she was wearing a white suit pant suit and underneath her written in bold letters, VOTE FOR ERICA JAY as president.

'Erica is running for president now, that's interesting'.

Mr Grey thought to himself.

"Ren was attacked."

Aisha said to Mr Grey when she looked up at him.

"Is she okay."

Mr Grey said calmly but under that calm was a raging anger bordering on bloodlust, He wanted to kill the person who put his daughter in danger, his pupils contracted

and expanded visibly while alternating between black and white.

"She's okay Mr Grey, a little shaken from the ordeal but she'll be fine, Alpha is watching over her."

Aisha said after seeing Mr Grey's calmness and the changes happening in his eyes, she has been working for him long enough to know when he is angry and this was one of

those moments.

"That's good, You found who did it?"

"Not yet sir, whoever it was used a lot of proxies to carry out tasks, even the person who directly attacked her was killed before epsilon could get to him."

Mr Grey called his daughter's number but the call still went unanswered after ringing for a bit. He was visibly worried about her and wanted nothing more than to

protect her.

'Well i'll be seeing her in a few hour so I'll just have to calm down'

Mr Grey thought to himself.

The road Mr Grey's SUV was driving on had trees on the left hand side of the road and on the right hand side was one of the city parks and there was a Topiary of

large trees shaped to form 2050 and by it's right side being projected from the trees forming the year was a hologram of the current month August, the day Friday and

the date 11th, Understanding how to combine Nature and technology has always been one of the perks of being a citizen of jade country, Technogaianism which every

citizen of Jade country is entitled to study Technogaianism for a year for a free.

His car stopped him at the building that Ren lives in and he walked to Ren's door hurriedly, he almost tripped while climbing the stairs to her apartment, he knocked

once then twice.

'She should be with Alpha, I'll let myself in and wait for her'

He thought to himself and then looked at the animal ornaments in the small garden by the side of Ren's door and opened the mouth of a miniature dragon and found a key

inside, he opened the door with it and went inside, The moment he stepped in the lights came on and he was greeted with a beautiful apartment with a puzzle like

arrangement of plants and on the wall in the living room was a painting of a rabbit with star-like eyes holding on to a paintbrush standing next to an easel with the

painting of a girl drawing a rabbit with star-like eyes reading a book that was as large as itself, The painting wasn't completed yet as only some parts of it were painted. He walked into the small library close to the kitchen and saw how Ren like it was, The walls were filled with analogies and equations spanning from Biology to Physics to Astronomy to Reverse mathematics.

'She always had the habit of drawing on the walls'

He thought to himself as he walked into the library and saw the pile of books on the floor, He shook his head with a smile and he picked up the books to arrange them back into the shelves where they had been, there were up to 20 books on the floor of the library and he picked up each one with care and put them back into their places, At the bottom of the pile, he saw a black phone with green outline and picked it up and walked to the kitchen to make something to eat. He kept the phone on the kitchen island and took off his long coat, he put on the apron and started making something to eat.

....

After waking up from her nightmare, Ren felt a hand on her back, she looked up and saw Miss Yuki looking at her with an inquiring expression.

"Nightmares or should i say bad dreams"

She said to Yuki before she could ask.

"Are you going to be okay?"

Yuki asked her with a caring look on her face.

"Yep, I just need to get home and eat, sleep and sleep"

Ren said while trying to force a smile on her face but she was visibly exhausted and needed the comfort of the bed, even though sleeping in a bakery smells nice and

is fun and all, she was pretty uncomfortable sleeping where she was at the time.

"Alright, I'll get your bag for you"

"I'll get it, thank you for your help"

She walked to the door and left, Yuki stared at the door for a moment more then she went into the kitchen to make some more pastries, It wasn't closing time yet and some of her customers will be arriving to buy some after they get off work.

Ren walked home quickly and arrived at her door, she opened the door with her key and walked in and perceived the scent of food, she grabbed one of the flower vase bythe door and walked slowly to the kitchen where she saw a man with a broad back, a back that she hadn't seen for months and she started crying unknowingly, she dropped the vase on the kitchen island.

"Dad"

The man turned around and saw Ren standing there looking tired and teary eyed, He sighed in relief after seeing her and he smiled, at least there are no scars or injuries on her.

"Rennaa"

She leaped into his arms that were already outstretched and hugged him tightly, she cried into his shoulder, all the fear and stress that she had been holding back since the car tried to run her over, she let it all out, only when she was with her father did she feel a hundred percent safe. He hadn't seen her cry so much since he

lost his wife her mum.

"It's okay Rennaa, I'm here now"

"I know Dad, I know"

She said in between sobs, He brought some wipes and started cleaning her face after she let go of him, She smiled when he was done and hugged him again, a silent hug.

"Better now?"

He asked he with a smile on his face. She nodded her head.

"Alright then, go upstairs and have your wash then come down and have a seat."

He went to check on what he was making while she went up to have her bath.

When she came down and went back into the kitchen, she saw egg fried rice and fried chicken with greens by the side. She sat down and was about to start eating when her dad looked at her.

"You prayed yet?"

He asked her with a smile on his face. she put down the spoon and prayed and quickly started eating, but after the first bite, she slowed down a beat because she wanted to savor the taste, while eating, it felt like she was transported to her childhood when it was dinner time and her mum and dad cooked together in the kitchen

while she arranged the table. She ate every bite with a smile on her face.

'Dad is such a great cook'
