P2- Chapter 0009

Damien

I sigh as I leave the house and make my way across the grounds, preparing myself for the worst. I hadn't been called in since the incident with Kade.

As I approach, children are already leaving the small school, but the session wasn't over yet.

The teacher greets me at the door, her face etched in concern. She gestures for me to follow her. Before she even points her out, I see Dottie's trainers sticking out from under a desk. "I can't get through to her." The teacher tells me in a whisper. "She is inconsolable."

I hear Dottie's little whimpers and snuffles telling me she has a snotty nose. "How long has she been like this?"

"The tears have been on and off since her arrival. I will be outside if you need me."

"Dottie, come out."

Her toes twitch, but she doesn't move.

"Dottie, I can move the desk, but I want you to come out and talk to me." The snuffles continue, yet she doesn't speak.

Squatting down to the floor, I see she is hugging her teddy bear tightly. Her bright green eyes laced with tears. Red, puffy cheeks shine from where she had been rubbing them. "Dottie?"

"Daddy's in trouble!" She croaks as the tears break free.
