ARIA'S POV

I knew for a fact that he could've hacked the cameras and he saw what was happening but I would not get into too many details about who Rodger was and that's the way it should be.

I didn't even realise I fell asleep until Dan was gently tapping my shoulder

ARIA : What time is it ?

DAN : it's 7:01 honey time to get up you need to have your medication and get something to eat

ARIA : sure

I sat up and looked at them

ARIA: what has been happening outside

RICHY : Well that guy , he just cleaned up the entire house, repaired the windows and everything now he's sitting in the kitchen .

ARIA  : Okay

I got up and I punched in the code for the safe room and opened it. When I walked out it was like nothing had happened. Everything was still the same. I found Roger sitting in the kitchen ,He was still wearing his mask,he never took it off around other people. He stood up and came over  and hugged me.

ROGER: Hello sweetheart ,how are you? I'm sorry I couldn't make it to his funeral.

ARIA: I'm okay ,I know you're busy.

I knew the minute he saw Dan and Richy . Because he pulled away slightly.

ROGER: And These are?

ARIA : Friends that I can trust with my life.

He looked at me

ROGER: Very well then. Tell me how much trouble and how deep you and your friends are in.

We sat at the kitchen counter and we told him everything. Dan even told him about Layla and Christopher. I just looked at him.

ROGER : Okay I'll deal with Layla and Mr Martinez. Now you're sure the feds are working on getting him ?

ARIA : yea Jake's helping them

ROGER : sure

He pointed at Dan

ROGER : You look like you're not swayed easily. Jake , is he good for her?

DAN  : At first I was hell bent against it. I hated him just because he was acting suspicious,but after everything , I'd day he's the best person for her.

ROGER :  Okay I'll help . Make sure she's safe

DAN : that's what he always says

ROGER : Well it's good to know he took the initiative of asking you to look out for her. I'll have my team bring your friends over and we'll get started on this. If you run into any more trouble Aria, call me ,do not hesitate.

ARIA : I don't want to bother you

ROGER: You're my goddaughter , I'll always protect you. Even if you call me a hundred times a day you'll never be a bother to me. I'll have a backup watching you just for my peace of mind.

ARIA : Okay

I stood up and hugged him, then he left.

RICHY : He's kinda badass

ARIA : You haven't seen anything yet.

Maria came into the kitchen

MARIA : Good morning Miss Aria, would you like breakfast?

ARIA : Please and thank you. I'll grab a shower and be back.

JAKE'S' POV

My laptop was still connected to her house cameras. I was watching her , I needed to. I was listening to Agent Ryan explaining or trying to explain his plan.
