Until he came along

Chapter 24

Emma's p.o.v

"Come on Elliot" I say to a distracted Elliot as we walk to seth's from his nursery, he's been glancing around every second with a scared look etched onto his face,

I pause in my step noticing this "Elliot what's wrong?!" I feet crouching down to his level making his body turn to me but his eyes constantly look around...

"Elliot what's wrong?!" I ask again whilst gently pushing his head so his eyes meet mine and instantly he relaxes...

'What the?'

"Elliot... Can you tell me what's been bothering you?" I gently ask making him open his mouth just as his eyes flicker up making his body go ridged again,

'What the fuck'

Snapping my head around I see alleyway but see nothing down it...

"Nothing's wrong mommy, can we just go back to seth's?" He try's to sound calm but his body is telling me different...

"Ok then..." I look back down the alley to still find it how i found it before...

Empty...

We start to walk again but this time I'm clutching Elliot's hand as he squeezes mine to death but I still don't break my eye contact with the alleyway until we are around the corner and out of sight...

'Something must be up...'

Mysterious p.o.v

I stand out side Emma's brats nursery waiting for the kids to disappear before going in,

I walk up to the glass doors 5 minutes after all the crowds and teachers are gone and push to find a squeaky clean posh smelling reception...

'How is a nursery reception this clean?!'

I walk up to the woman standing next to the brat who is also known as Elliot to see her give me a big grin,

"Hello again!" She beams smiling so hard you might think her face will break in two,

'Urgh! How can she be this happy'

"I have that package you ordered" I say smiling back,

'I'm so good at acting'

"Um... I don't think I ordered anything else?' She says confused,

'That's because you didn't!'

"I might have... let me just go and get my folder which has the things I ordered in" she informs me before rushing off into the back room shutting the door behind her,

'Just as planned...' I grin to myself,

"Yo brat!" I whisper yell finally dropping my smile into a sneer, it takes him a few seconds to realise I am talking to him before his head slightly moves in my direction,

"Put this in Emma jacket will you! Oh and if you don't and you tell anyone I told you to do this or what I look and sound like you both are as good as dead, ok!" I whisper harshly making his start to shake in fear and give me a slight nod so I chuck the folded paper at him which he quickly stuffs into his small pocket,

'Good boy'

*click*

The sound of the back room door opening makes my sneer turn into a 'happy' smile just as she comes back out looking confused,

"I'm sorry to trouble you but I haven't ordered anything else..." She scratches her head utterly confused,

"Oh it's ok, it must have been a mix up! I hope you have a good day" I nod my head smiling 'cheerfully' at her and turn to walk back out letting my normal sneer show,
