10 Days of Heat: STORY 1: Tokyo, Japan … (Day 2)

August 3, 2017

Before we fly to Tokyo, in case you weren’t around during the January challenge … you might want to catch up on how Reggie got to this point.

  • Philadelphia: https://hoohaa.com/?p=12117
  • San Francisco: https://hoohaa.com/?p=12148
  • Zurich, Switzerland: https://hoohaa.com/?p=12185
  • Sydney, Australia: https://hoohaa.com/?p=12218

OK, with that out of the way, let’s pick back up where we left off … in Sydney.

*****

Reggie had just met with his long-lost daughter and was sobbing into her shoulder about his situation and the kidnapping of his wife and Kaylee’s mother.

He ended up in Sydney not just to follow the trail of where his wife was being held, but also with the hope that his daughter could help.

It had been seven years, after all.

In that time, his wife had forgiven him. They had gone through counseling. They were making things better. Still. Kaylee wasn’t over it. To her, the betrayal was too much. Reggie was the perfect daddy. He treated her like a princess. He showed her so much. And her parents were the ultimate couple.

Or so she believed.

Then he cheated. Kaylee found out through some letters she came across. She couldn’t believe it. Reggie didn’t just cheat on her mother — he cheated on the family and on Kaylee, too. She couldn’t forget and didn’t know if she’d ever be able to forgive.

And here he was … in front of her.

Seven years later and she couldn’t believe what was going on. Why did she have to forgo her world … her new life, for this? But it was her parents. And even if there were issues, they were still her parents. And she needed to help if she could.

Kaylee reached out and took the papers Reggie had in his hand and started studying them. She was a chip off the old block, so to speak, as she had inherited her father’s sense of investigation. Many thought she would follow in her father’s footsteps, but she had higher aspirations and didn’t ever want to be in a situation where she couldn’t get out of something. It was too dangerous for her.

But now, there was more at stake.

As Reggie tried to regain his composure, Kaylee had an odd look on her face.

“Dad… why are you in Sydney?”

“That’s what the details said for me to do …” he said, his voice trailing off.

“I think you may need new glasses,” Kaylee said. “This says you need to go to the Tokyo Dome. That’s not in Sydney … that’s in Japan.”

Reggie grabbed the papers and studied them. He knew it had once said Sydney, Australia. He remembers specifically reading it and knowing he had to contact Kaylee. But how did this change? What happened?

“I know this said Australia,” he said as he stared at the paper.

“It doesn’t matter what it said or what you think it said,” Kaylee said. “We don’t have time. We need to get to Tokyo as fast as possible.”

She grabbed his hand and pulled at him, much like she used to do when she was a kid. Reggie stopped for a moment and smiled — the first time he had done so in quite a while — as he daydreamed back to the days long gone.

“Dad … let’s go,” Kaylee said, her voice getting louder.

Reggie snapped back to reality, knowing his daughter was right. They then started off together in search of his wife … her mother … and to maybe make their family whole once again. They knew they were going against the clock, though. Will they find the person who can heal their family? Or will they fail against the clock … and thus destroy everything near and dear to both of them?

The two raced back to find a flight to get them to Tokyo as fast as possible … and to see if they can figure out the mystery.

    With all that dashing about, can you imagine the jet lag? I hope now that he has his daughter working with him, they will be able to get to the bottom of his and get the wife/mother back safely.

Harper is counting down to Santa Paws! You know, Harper is counting down to Santa Paws! 

You know, of course, Santa Paws travels with Santa Clause, making sure to find treats and toys for all the good little doggies! (We know they are all deserving, right?) So, Harper put out some milk for the big guy, carrots for Rudolph and the reindeer, and special cookies for Santa Paws! She is ready!

I look at her and sometimes still can’t believe I look at her and sometimes still can’t believe I have her. It’s been a year and four months and she makes me smile and laugh more each day. It’s amazing how much a dog changes your look on life, and how much joy they can bring.

This one is recent from the courthouse square in Delhi. We had some pretty good fall colors this year.

I had Harper so not a lot I could do, but I managed to get the cart off the chair. (See second photo) This was in a local park.

A video looking at my first year and a half of owning a golden retriever, my first dog. It's had its ups and downs, but I've truly loved the ride and look forward to the future.

I hate being in front of the camera, but also realize sometimes it's not the worst thing in the world. So, I'm getting better with it. Week 4's theme was all about us and having us in front of the camera, so I tried to come up with a creative way to do it.
