Lyon
Chapter 146

By the time I turned around Kat was upstairs. “Where’s ma?”

“She had to go what did you say to Caitlin?” She tried looking around me into the room but I backed her up until we reached our room. “Nothing yet, I’m waiting for you to tell me the rest.”

She started that hand wringing shit and bit into her l*p. Usually the l*p biting thing would make my d**k hard as f**k in no time, and I wasn’t sure she wasn’t doing it to distract me. “Stop that.” I pulled her l*p out from between her teeth.

“The boys thought it would be funny to tease her you know, they um, took her book bag and wouldn’t give it back, things like that, and one of them asked her out and when she said no he said some ugly things to her.”

“I’m gonna f*****g level that school, who was it?”

“Colton I took care of it, the kid said he was sorry that he hadn’t meant to scare her. He was embarrassed Colt that she turned him down in front of his friends.”

Is she out her f*****g mind? “I don’t give two wet f***s Kat.”

“Colton shh; Caitlin doesn’t want you to do anything, don’t embarrass her.” She grabbed my shirttail to hold me back from leaving the room.

“What the f**k are you on Kat? They f**k with my kid and you expect me to do what?”

“But Colt they’re just kids”

“Who waited until the boy left to start their shit with her again, f**k that.”

“Colt”

“Kat, grab the baby and stay up here.”

“Why, what’re you gonna do?”

“Nothing for you to worry about peacemaker. Catalina come here.” I yelled out for her not knowing where the little spook was.

“Yes daddy?” She came bounding into the room three seconds later, which meant she’d been listening at doors again and shit. I walked out of the room with her on my heels.

“I need you to make me up a batch of some shit.” Her eyes grew big and there was a light in them that I hadn’t seen since I’d seen it in my own when I was a wayward youth. Well f**k; while I’m saving a college fund for the others I’ll be starting a bail fund for this one; I can just see it now. Plus she has some of Kat in her; this whole neighborhood is f****d.

“What do you want it to do daddy?”

“What do you mean pumpkin?” she took my hand and started leading me down the hallway.

“Well do you want a hair remover, a rash, or something more permanet?” She couldn’t even say the word but she sure as f**k knew what it meant.

“Permanent like how?” I stopped and looked down at her.

“Tell me first daddy.” What the f**k did I get myself into now?

“Uh, I don’t want it permanent.”

“Then you don’t need to know.”

“What the KAT.”

“What is it now?” she came out the room and glared at me.

“You been watching after this kid?”

“Of course I have what kinda question is that?”

“How does she know about making potions and shit that can do permanent damage?”

“I don’t know, she gets that from you.”

Everything’s my f*****g fault around here; except when they’re dong the right thing, then they’re mommy’s little darlings.

“Daddy you want me to help or not? I was busy.”

“Busy doing what, listening in at keyholes? Didn’t I tell you about that shit?”

“Daddy I don’t do that, you were yelling. Now you want me to do it or not?”

“Do what; Colt what are you two up to?”

“None ya.”

“Catalina?”

“Nothing mommy, I’m just showing daddy my new trick.” Damn she was good; if I didn’t know what we were just talking about I would believe her. She had the innocent little angel act down.

“Kat, you sure they gave us the right one at the hospital?” I had to say that shit out the side of my mouth because she hears everything with her nosy a*s.

“Colton.”

“Just checking. Come on Mengele let’s go show daddy your new trick.” They have to be a boot camp or some shit that would take this kid.

I don’t care what Kat and her mother in law says I’m not letting these little punks get away with f*****g with my kid. I followed Hitler’s youth to her little science corner in my basement and listened as she told me about all the different products she had in neat little rows.

I’m thinking it’s a good thing I did that because some of the most innocent shit you’d find in any household apparently could be used to destroy shit. “Catalina where did you learn all this stuff?”

“I read it in grandpa’s book.” She was busy mixing shit in a beaker with her little tongue caught between her teeth in concentration. “So what are you making there?” I was beginning to rethink this shit; maybe it wasn’t such a good idea. What the f**k was I thinking getting my kid involved in this shit?

“Oh this, it will make you sick if you eat it in your food, not bad sick just make you go to the bathroom a lot-lot-lot.” What the f**k! How the f**k do I get outta this? “Listen kid I changed my mind.” She really scares me no joke. She gave me a put upon look and walked over to the sink to pour out her concoction. I watched to make sure it was all gone but what was the point? She’d whipped up her little batch like a pro.

I headed back upstairs to her mother. “Kat don’t keep things from me again, anything happens to my kids I wanna know immediately. Did you talk to the principal?”

“Of course and the boys were reprimanded but I didn’t want to make a big deal because these days they kick kids outta school for the littlest thing.”

“Their asses need to be kicked out, I’m surprised that you of all people are taking this shit so lightly. They cornered her Kat.”

“Colton I know what you’re saying, but the way Caitie described it, it didn’t sound like anything more than high school horsing around. The kids are gonna face those things babe, it’s just a part of life.” She can keep that shit. I don’t trust these little teenage f***s.

I decided to snoop around and get the names of the kids who’d messed with my kid. I wasn’t gonna do much more than put fear in them and warn them to stay the f**k away from her, but if my wife knew she’d raise hell. She still wears rose tinted glasses and thinks people are redeemable. I say they’re all f****d in the head young and old.
