Dirty Work (Rapid Reads)
“Did Anka just pick up and go? He didn’t want to admit it. But it did look like Anka had run away. The question was, why? Was it because of something that had happened over the summer break? If so, what?
Gulliver laughed to himself. He’d been a father for less than twenty-four hours. And he was already confused and angry. He guessed that made him like most fathers of teenage girls. He could picture himself asking Anka’s prom date into his office. Cleaning his gun in front of the kid. Be nice to my little girl or else. He laughed again. Gulliver had always heard that parenthood changes you. Now he knew it was true.
“What’s so funny, little man?” Ahmed asked. Gulliver didn’t mind Ahmed calling him that as long as it wasn’t in front of other people.
“Nothing. Just thinking.” Gulliver hadn’t told Ahmed that he was Anka’s father. He wasn’t going to tell anyone. Not yet. Things were already complicated enough.
