As the club was shaken by loud gunfire, Mr.
Marco turned and fled to the back. Under the table, father and daughter climbed.
As Richard looked into his daughter’s terrified eyes, the club was in chaos, and he knew he had to get her to safety no matter what. Richard and Deidre pushed over one of the tables and sat down in a corner.
Until the police escorted them to safety, they hid there.
Fortunately, Mr.
Marco was found. Are you certain that you don’t have any health issues related to your heart?
While in the ambulance, Richard gave the medical professional a head shake. When the detective from the police arrived at the ambulance, Richard choked hard.
“Sir, what were you doing in this club today with your daughter?
” The detective posed a firm inquiry.
Richard talked about the loan that Deidre had taken out and how they’d come to the club that day to pay it back. He hoped that he wouldn’t have to say anything about the car he dumped in the river.
Deidre caught the eye of the detective. ” We wouldn’t have been able to save you if we hadn’t discovered a car full of illegal goods in the river.
Miss, you shouldn’t get loans from people with such a bad reputation.
A vehicle in the river?
Richard asked, trembling. It was registered to Mr.
Marco’s cousin, which was precisely the information we required to eliminate this gang,” the officer responded. Relief filled Richard’s sigh.
He didn’t have to worry.
After his and Deidre gave their statements, the police released them.
Dad, I owe you an enormous apology. Deidre apologized as they walked to the front, where Richard’s car was parked.
“I dragged you into this whole mess,” she said. Her eyes welled with tears.
I was unsure how to inform you.
How does one inform one’s father that they are a complete failure?
” You are not doomed! ” Putting his hands on Deidre’s shoulders, Richard Deidre, you tried, even if your business idea didn’t turn out as well as you had hoped.
I wished you had the confidence to reveal the truth about your life to me. He went on to say, “I just wish you felt you could be as close to me as you were to your mother.
” I don’t believe you’ve been “fine” for a long time.
Richard wrapped his arm around Deidre as she broke down in tears.
It’s alright, honey,” he softly whispered. Everything will turn out fine.
“Tell us what you think about this story, and tell your friends about it. It might cheer them up and motivate them.
