Chapter 52 Kieran

• When I arrived back at the mansion I quickly dressed and headed inside to key the code into the bunker release mechanism. As soon as the door opened, I heard Frankie shout, “Dad.”
• “Not so fast, mister. I didn’t tell you that your punishment was over. Back on the wall,” Frannie scolded.
• I sighed and took a deep breath before heading down the steps to see each of the three boys doing wall sits with their arms out to their sides. One by one they glanced in my direction with silent pleas on their faces to release them from their punishment. I schooled my face with a stern look that said, ‘I wasn’t their savior’ and looked at Frannie to see her smirk of satisfaction, knowing I had her back.
