I tried to calm myself down as I walked into the Dojo. Tried, but failed. I was full of emotions. Anger, suspicion butb most of all, fear. This was my place, he wasn't meant to be here. My city. Had he found me or was it coincedence? Was he going to take me back? "Doc?" I called out.

"Jessy?" I walked into the main area of the Dojo, placing a gentle hand on the girl's shoulder. "What is it? Mal said you were distressed about something. What's wrong, Kiddo?"
"It's him," she said, part in panic, part in rage. "He's here. He followed me here. Here! Why did he have to come after me?"
"Who?" I said genlty, bringing her into a hug. "Who's here? Is Rory bakc?" I decided a long time ago I was dusting him when I saw him next.
"No," Jessy whispered. "My biological father. He's here," a cold feeling swept through my very being. Her biological father?
"Mal..."
"I've already sent the call to Maya and the others Doc, though I'm not sure what can be done."
"Whatever needs to be," I said, holding her gently. "I'm not letting him take her back. She isn't leaving."

"Except there is also the whole deal of child abuse." I said, walking calmly in. "He tries to take you, and we threaten him with a law suit we will win."
Jessy was gaping at me. I just tapped the side of my head, "You're broadcasting all over the city, kitten." I didnt know where the name came from... it just happened. "You ok?" I asked.

"We don't have any proof Mai." She looked at me. "I never told anyone when I was a kid. Only Rory knew. i can't prove it. There's nothing."
"You never told anyone?" Mai said incredoulously. I shook my head.

"I'm a eye witness" I said calmly from the doorway

"You saw a bruise. One bruise that we have no proof about how it got there. Guys, I've been throough this senario a thousand times. There is no way out." I put my head in my hands.

"Jessy," I said, calmly, cooly, almost a whisper. It got everyone's attention. "I have failed far too many of the importan people in my life. I am not failing you. Mal?"
"I've always wondered why she had proof of so many broken bones," Mal said.
"Huh?"
"When you brake a bone, it can be detectable to a point. I'm detecting at least fifteen breaks, and that's just on the left arms."

I smiled at the young shifter,
"Jess, i swear to you- between us, we can make any court rule against that bastard. In fact, if you really want, i could just make him forget the whole thing and decide that he's actually a clown in the local circus..."
Jessy snorted a laugh, "But i think somehow it might be better to do this the non-magic way."

I instictivly grabbed my arm and held it away. "Guys, I think this ould be better if I just ly low for a while. I mean, nothing can happen if he doesn't find me, right?"

"And if he does," I said dangerously, leaving it dangle. "Comeon. I'll set up one of the spare rooms. You can stay there until he leaves," But that'll only keep him away from her for now. I need something that'll keep him away permanently. Somehow.

"I can be on scout duty" I offered "You know, make sure he doesn't come near her"

"Thanks Doc," I whispered. I felt that if I talked any louder he'd find me.

"We'll take care of you," I said, hugging her gently. "And that bastard had better hope he doesn't find you. Because if I meet him, I can guarantee he won't be walking away."

I smiled but shook my head. In my eyes, my father was worse than any demon, more powerful, more strong. In my eyes, nothing would stop him hurting me.
