hell?” Kelton leaned forward to look more closely at the screen which displayed the image of the exterior of the building. A large Audi S8 had just pulled up directly outside their doors and the driver had already gotten out of the car and was walking around to open up the back door.
    “Great. This is just what I don’t need.” Kelton muttered.
    Kayleigh leaned over to try and see what was going on. “What’s up? Who is it?” She was unable to see anything passed Kelton’s considerable frame.
    “Mr Kellerman, I presume. I recognise the car and number plate from when they dumped Aisline here.” Kelton’s voice was grim. He wasn’t relishing meeting this man face to face.
    He knew that this meeting could have gone a lot worse. Kelton had already called the family to tell them the good news, that they had got Aisline back with them. He had done his duty over the phone and wasn’t looking forward to an up close confrontation with this man. He’d had a problem with this guy since the moment he had abandoned his daughter, and his attitude problem sucked.
    The way that the man had, for all intent and purposes, disowned his daughter when the mark of the warrior had first appeared, and then once again denying her when Kelton had called to advise them of the abduction, none of it had warmed Kelton to this individual. It all counted against him in Kelton’s mind. How could he not know what a special kid he had? How could he lower himself to publically deny her like that? It was beyond comprehension. There was no way that he could redeem himself in Kelton’s eyes now.
    He wondered briefly how Mr Kellerman had gotten there quite so quickly. It wasn’t that long ago that Kelton had contacted the family to let them know that Aisline was safe. The man must have either had his driver break all the speed limits to get there, or he had set out before receiving word. Strange.
    The doorbell rang and Kelton was half tempted to outright ignore it. That would serve him right, to stand out there in the cold after the way that he had treated his daughter. Unfortunately, Kelton had been raised better than that and swearing softly under his breath, he pressed the button on the intercom. “Yes?”
    “Hello? Yes? This is Andre Kellerman. I am here to see Mr Kelton, um, uh, Master Warrior Kelton. It is with regards to my, um, uh, daughter, Aisline Kellerman.”
    The man sounded incredibly nervous. As he should be. He had sent his daughter packing and had abandoned her when she had needed his love and support the most. Kelton knew that he would have to muster all of his internal strength to restrain himself. The temptation to knock this poor excuse of a man through the wall would be overpowering.
    Damn. He even despised the sound of the man’s voice.
    “Enter.” Kelton barked abruptly and released the door lock.
    “Kelton…”  Kayleigh said with a non-too-subtle warning in her tone.
    Turning to look at her, he smirked and raised an eyebrow. “What?”
    “You know exactly what.” She didn’t think much of this man either, but when all was said and done, he was still Aisline’s father and they had to treat him accordingly.
    She threw a quick glance at the door and saw Mr Kellerman struggling to push open the heavy glass door, “Kelton, wait a minute.” She put a hand on his arm. “There’s something I need to tell you.”
    “What’s wrong?”
    “With everything happening so fast tonight, I haven’t had the chance to tell you that Mr Kellerman came to the academy just after you all left to get Aisline back. We didn’t really have the most productive conversation, I guess you could say. He was threatening lawyers and the like. I don’t think he appreciated my response.” She paused to look down at the ground. “I kind of threw him out.”
    Kelton was quiet for a moment. He put a finger under her chin to force her to meet his eyes. “Literally?” There was an amused glint in his eyes.
    “No, tempting though it
