““Miss Dearly, please understand! You're in danger! I'm here to help you..your father would want me to help you!" This was such a ridiculous statement that I unthinkingly ceased my efforts to free myself,if only for a second. "My father is dead ! Unless you've come from the hereafter,I'm pretty sure you've no idea what he wants!””
