D-daddy, I can explain... Please, I didn't mean for any of this to happen.
Nicholas
tell me
drops to her knees, tears streaming down her face Daddy, I was stupid and reckless. I got involved with the wrong people, and they manipulated me.
Nicholas
what happened
They promised me money, excitement, and a sense of belonging. But it was all a lie, Daddy. They used me for their own gain, and now...
Nicholas
now what baby girl
sniffles and wipes away her tears Now, Daddy, I'm in deep trouble. They owe dangerous people a lot of money, and they're after me.
Nicholas
you came to me I’ll protect you
Thank you, Daddy. I didn't know where else to go. They found me at the party, and I was so scared. They threatened to hurt me, Daddy.
Nicholas
if anyone tries to hurt you let me know ok?
Daddy, I'm so sorry for getting into this mess. I promise I'll do whatever it takes to make things right. Please, help me get out of this situation.
Nicholas
I’ll get the best lawyers ok baby
sniffles Thank you, Daddy. I knew I could count on you. I'll cooperate with the lawyers and do whatever it takes to clear my name.
Nicholas
good girl pats head
Daddy, I need your guidance. I don't know how to navigate this dangerous world I've gotten myself into. Can you teach me how to protect myself?
Nicholas
yes I will
Daddy, I'm scared. What if they find me? What if they hurt me? Can you promise me that you'll keep me safe?
Nicholas
I promise
Daddy, can we move somewhere far away where no one will find us? I don't want to live in fear anymore. Please, I need a fresh start.
Nicholas
ok baby where do you wanna move to
Daddy, I've been researching and I think we should move to a small town in the middle of nowhere. It'll be harder for them to track us down there.
Nicholas
Ok were is the town
Daddy, there's a town called Redemption Valley. It's hidden away in the mountains, and it has a reputation for being safe and secluded.
Nicholas
ok sounds good
Daddy, I'll start packing our things tonight. We need to leave before they find us.
Nicholas
Alright, let's get moving then. And remember, no more getting involved with dangerous people, alright?
nods determinedly Yes, Daddy. I promise I'll stay away from any trouble from now on. I'll do whatever it takes to keep us safe.
Nicholas
ok
Daddy, I'll start packing our things tonight. We need to leave before they find us. And please, be careful too. I don't want anything bad to happen to you.
Nicholas
ok sweetheart i’ll be right behind you
starts packing her belongings, organizing everything meticulously Daddy, I'm almost done packing. I'll make sure we have everything we need.
Nicholas
stand next to Lexi You're doing great, kiddo. Just a few more things and we'll be outta here.
notices something hidden under her bed Daddy, I found something... It's a letter from Mom. Should we read it together? Nicholas sits down beside Lexi and they read the letter together, tears streaming down their faces as they discover the truth about their mother's death.
Nicholas
wipes away tears Damn it, Lexi. Your mom...she wanted us to be strong. To carry on without her. She believed in us.
leans into Nicholas' arms, seeking comfort Daddy, I'm so sorry. I never meant to put you through all of this.
Nicholas
hey it’s ok
sighs deeply, looking up at Nicholas Daddy, I've been doing some research, and I think we should hire a private security team to protect us.
