So I'm in a good mood so I decided to upload today without having all of you comment on the last chapter. However, I still want my votes and comments on time. If you really want it ASAP, you should probably comment first, then vote.
So I need 45 votes again and 25 comments. Hope you enjoy this chapter and don't forget to join the book cover contest! Deadline is April 15th!

(Charlie's POV)
When I got home and went downstairs to my basement, I was shocked to find all of my TV screens blacked out. What happened to the cameras, I thought to myself. I checked the wires to the TVs to make sure that nothing was loose or had gotten damaged, but they were all fine. However, that meant someone had found the cameras!
Crap! I needed to go down there now and check on them, but I couldn't just walk in and check their house. I needed to make sure they weren't home. Luckily, I had a spare key to their house just in case. I called their home phone and no one picked up, making me assume that the house was empty.
With a grin on my face, I ran outside my door, and drove all the way to their house. I opened the door and started investigating and what I discovered was a total shock. Everywhere I went, there was no camera at all. I plugged like thirty or so in the house and I hid them really well, too. It's impossible for them to have discovered them.
So what happened to them, I wondered. The only place I haven't checked was the garbage. I went over to the trash bag in the kitchen to look inside, but there were no signs of a camera anywhere. Actually, the bag inside the bin was brand new.
My whole body began to tense up. Who could have found them? What did they do to them? I sat down on the kitchen stool in disbelief. I rested my head on the edge of the island. This couldn't be happening right now. Do you know how much money I spent for those cameras. I'm sorry, Leah, I failed you. Azula won't be going to college and it'll be history repeating itself.
In the middle of my despair, though, I heard the shake of door knob from the front and instantly I knew that Azula or probably Aiden was on the other side of that door. I immediately stood up straight and regained my composition. I wiped my eyes and cleared my throat.
The door opened and on the other side was Aiden and Azula with a whole bunch of bags in their hands. "You don't need to worry. I'll teach you how to swim," I heard Aiden say from the front door and Azula said, "I am worried. Knowing you, you'll probably let me drown." Aiden chuckled and they both looked up and immediately froze. Their happy expressions turned sour. Azula asked, "Dad... what are you doing here?"
"You know, don't you?" I asked.
They both looked at each other nervously, but then Aiden snapped his head to face me and gave me the most daring look ever. "Yes, we do. We got rid of them yesterday morning, too."
"Well, where the hell did you put them?" I asked angrily. "If you don't tell me where they are, I'll expose you." Then, I grabbed him by the collar of his shirt, but Aiden slightly pushed me away.
"Last time I remember, the agreement was not to have sex with her. Now, I've been keeping my promise faithfully. However, there was nothing in the contract that said you could place cameras in our house. Now, I would gladly give up my job if it meant you going to jail," he said.
"Excuse me?" Did he just threaten me? He doesn't know what he's doing! If I wanted to, I could report him right now. How dare he act bold against me.
"You heard me. Now, you can either leave and actually have a little faith in us, or you can stay here arguing while I go get the phone now and dial 911 to report you for stalking."
My eyes widened up. Oh no! Now I was really mad. He was going to call the cops on me and send me to jail? That bastard! If it weren't for me, he wouldn't even have my daughter right now. He should be grateful, but no! He decides to threaten me instead. I felt the anger inside me boil and next thing I new, I had punched him right across the face. Azula had shrieked from the sudden punch and Aiden had fallen on the floor.
I found myself in shock at what I had just done. I didn't regret punching him, but I did regret doing it in front of my daughter. This was a side of me I never wanted her to witness. Azula kneeled down next to him and tried to help him up. "Are you okay?" she asked him. He responded by saying that he was fine, but when I got a better view of his face, I saw that I had given him a bruise on the cheek.
