A furious roar echoed from outside the door. Immediately after, a man stormed into the room.
He planted himself right next to Danny, and while Danny was still staring in utter shock, the man slapped him across the face.
SMACK!
Danny clutched his cheek, his face pale with disbelief as he cried out, "Dad?"
"Like hell! I am not your father! Your family ruined my daughter, and I am going to make you pay for every single bit of it!" Mr. Yorke furiously cut off whatever Danny was about to say. He raised his hand to deliver another slap, but Heath Hale intervened just in time.
The first slap had happened so suddenly that the police hadn't been able to react. If they let him strike again, the situation would spiral out of control.
Restrained, Mr. Yorke took the cue and lowered his hand. He shot a vicious glare at Danny before turning to Heath, his tone frantic. "Officer, how is my daughter?"
