Don't embarrassed me
I stayed annoyed at the gate for a pretty good time, until I watched my father’s car move towards the boarder gate. The moment he walked out of his car and his eyes fall on me, a glare immediately formed on his face. He wasn’t pleased to see me at all.
“Why did you call me, Is there any problem?”, My father asked angrily as soon as he reached the guards.
Robert i’mmediately moved forward to my father, pointed in my direction, and then handed my father my driver’s license.
“We are sorry to have disturbed you, Beta Spencer. This female here is requesting entry, but this is the identification card that she handed us. Obviously, this female is not your daughter, Sir, but she insisted that we call you.”
Robert kept on explaining but he didn’t know what he was doing to my father. My father was fuming with a lot of anger and he was clenching his jaws so angrily.
“We asked her why she did decided to impersonate your cursed daughter among all of people”, John also spoke and my father turned his eyes on him.
“She is so....”.
“SHUT UP”, Out of the blue, he roared stopping Robert in mid sentence.
“Is this what you always do when you find a stranger with false identification?”, He continued to talk without even looking at my driver’s license and his eyes were not at me. He was pissed off. Pissed off at the guards.
Silently I asked myself when did these three dumbass guards started working at the boarder gate. There was a reason why my father’s anger towards them was too much.
“Wait... goodness. No, Sir... let me explain...---”
“Explain what Robert?” My father stopped him in mid sentence. “When you were doing training, years back what did your coach tell you that you are supposed to do in this situation?”
At his question, Robert lowered his eyes down totally embarrassed. “We are supposed to run the identification card through the computer processor and then contact the officer in charge with the computer results as well as our findings and suspicions.”
“So why didn’t you do it the moment she gave you the driver’s license to you?”, He asked loudly and angrily.
“Beta Spencer, we were going to do it but. .. .... we just thought that because she was claiming to be your daughter and yet she is so pret.....”
“Can you shut the fuck up, Robert”, He blurted out then turned on his heel and turned his eyes on John and Joel.
“Oh, so it wasn’t just Robert who forgot the fucking training protocol? All three of you forgot all because you think she is pretty, you didn’t follow the processing procedures and called me instead of the officer in charge. Was it the right thing to do you fools?”, He growled more loudly.
At his voice all the three guards looked down embarrassed andashamed, saying nothing. Seeing that they weren’t responding to him, my father got more angrier and angrier.
“Look the fuck up! Now! “He yelled and my body froze for a second. The moment, they looked up, he pointed to a large portrait of Aurora that was hanging on the wall. “LOOK AT HER PICTURE!” His voice broke as he spoke and he didn’t hid it. I knew now what was going to happen next. He was going to show his fears, his weakness in front of the guards. Now i was regretting why I told the guards to call.
“In case you need a reminder, border security is one of the most important pack duties we have, if not THE most important. A lack of proper border security is what got my daughter – YOUR FUTURE LUNA – killed. Following protocol and the chain of command is not just a respect issue; it is a safety issue.
“Before deciding to call me, why didn’t you first recalled that the pack has protocols it follow”,
“You all didn’t follow them and yet you do not know what you do not know. You do not know the enemy. You do not have the ability to determine who is a safety risk and who is not. Your responsibility is to follow the protocols. Nothing less, nothing more”,
After speaking those words, he didn’t get any response from anyone and he didn’t anything else for a pretty good time.
After a moment, he continued but in a low voice. “I’m so disappointed that you decided to do such a mistake when my daughter’s death anniversary is tomorrow..... and you called me”, His voice broke at the end but the guards were having their eyes down.
I saw my father’s face expression and I felt inwardly hurt. The daughter he loved most was no more and there was nothing left to do about it.
When the guards still didn’t say anything, my father turned his eyes on me. He surprisingly didn’t fume with anger this time. He looked at ky driver’s license, my face then turned his eyes back to the guards.
“Since you all failed to work on this impostor ,let me take her , but I am going to deal with you too. You need to be reminded of the reason why you were put on the boarder gate as guards”, The guards gasped when my father spoke that then he walked away.
I stood dumbfounded for a moment not until I saw my father point at me then told me to follow him. I hesitated but later I walked slowly to his car then entered inside.
Honestly my heart was already pumping loudly in my chest. I still didn’t know what he was planning to do to me.
He started the car without saying anything to me but then just as I was starting to relax, he threw a glance in my way and also coughed.
“Why did you tell them to call me?”, He asked and I immediately felt my fingertips become cyanotic... turning blue reddish.
“They were saying continuously that I am an imposter”, I retorted in a low soft voice.
“I know I’m disappointed that they didn’t follow the protocols but next don’t ever call me. Dont embarrass me”, His words were enough for me to start biting my lower lip in hurt.
