From computer screen to reality

Chapter 1

I look around the dinner table, as I count down the minutes; I notice that Aunt Erin is happily chatting with Uncle Danny and Grandpa. I know that I will be safe however the only thing that could change that is if Nicki brings up or mentions anything about our little conversation a few nights ago as the topic is a dangerous problem that I currently have.

Nicki is busy talking to Uncle Jamie plus Jack and Sean. I really did think I am going to get through this dinner scot-free that was until Nicki took a sip of her water and then looks straight at me, I knew what is going to happen but I couldn't stop her.

"Immy, did you figure out who that person was yet?"

I just stared at Nicki out of pure shock "NICKI!"

Nicki covers her mouth "I am so sorry Imogen, I didn't mean to."

All the adults drop their forks and knives and they all turn their attention to me. Uncle Danny looks at the both of us "is one of you going to explain?"

Nicki looks down the table at where I sat in between Pop and Uncle Jamie "you should really tell them Immy, it will only get worse."

Uncle Jamie places his arm around my shoulders "anything you want to confess, Miss. Reagan."

I look at all their faces "I didn't want to worry any of you; you all already have busy lives. I didn't want to add my drama into the mix of it all."

Grandpa looks down the table at his youngest granddaughter "Imogen you are 14 years old, how much drama could you possibly have?"

I feel someone hold my hand, I turn my attention to Pop, who faintly smiles at me "talk to us Imogen, we can't help you if we are in the dark."

I nod and look up at everyone "I don't know how it happened but roughly a month ago, I started to receive text messages and emails that were let's say they were inappropriate. I did block the number but they must have gotten a new number because after I blocked it I got a text saying you can't get rid of me that easily."

Uncle Jamie pulls me into his arms as I start to cry. Aunt Erin looks at her daughter "when did you find out Nicki?"

Nicki looks at me then back at her mom "a few nights ago, Imogen rang me and told me. She didn't know what to do. I told her to tell you guys but she didn't want to trouble you all with it and she asked me not to tell you."

Frank looks at his now crying granddaughter "After dinner I would like for you to give me your phone and laptop. I will have my people look into it."

I shake my head "Grandpa you don't have to do that, they'll get bored and leave me alone."

Aunt Erin pipes up "Imogen if this has been going on for a month maybe even longer it could get more serious. They could start following you around and what if they decided that a text or email isn't enough anymore."

I look at my aunt; this was all starting to scare me even more now "you don't really think they would do you?"

Uncle Danny joins in after being angry silent "it happens Imogen trust us, we see it happen every day. I don't think anyone of us wants a phone call saying that you are missing or in the hospital."

I nod "I understand, I'll give you my phone and laptop after dinner Grandpa."

He nods in agreement "I will also be talking to Garett and Baker about a protection detail until this is all sorted out."

I nod again; I didn't really want to talk about this anymore. I thought I could sort it out by myself or it would just go away but I guess they know better.

A few minutes later, I was in the kitchen helping Aunt Linda clear up from the dinner. We hear someone behind us; Aunt Linda turns around and sees her husband standing there "is everything alright Danny?"

I turn around and notice that he is holding my phone, He then beckons me over to him, but as I reach him, he places his hand on my shoulders and walks me into the living room where Uncle Jamie, Grandpa and Pop were sitting.

Uncle Danny hands me my phone "unlock it; it would appear you have a new message from an unknown number."

I slowly unlock my phone and Uncle Danny takes it from me again, I guess he read the new text message I had received because he tighten his grip that he had on my shoulders.

He then hands my phone to Grandpa and then recites the text message "I really do hope your cop family doesn't keep us apart when I come for you Immy."

I see Grandpa nod, he leaves the room I guess call Garett or Baker. I now realised how serious this was getting, I feel Uncle Danny putting his arms around me "it's okay kiddo. We'll find them."

I sit on the stairs as they all leave well except from Uncle Jamie. He said that he would stay just in case anything else happens. Uncle Danny tells him that if something does to ring and he'll come straight away.

Grandpa shuts the front door and I head upstairs to my room telling him I have some homework to finish. I grab my books and sit at my desk; I feel eyes on me so I turn around and see Uncle Jamie leaning against the doorframe.

I turn my attention back to my books "what's wrong Uncle Jamie?"

He walks in and sits down next to me "did you really just ask me that Imogen. Why did you not tell us sooner? Danny and I read some of those text messages and they scared us. You are not going through this alone anymore. We will find who they are and they will be dealt with."

I look up at Uncle Jamie "the correct way, you won't let Uncle Danny let his temper get the better of him will you."

Uncle Jamie kisses my head "I wil keep Danny in line, but we all care about you Immy. Your dad would want you safe and if Nicki hadn't told us you might not have been safe for much longer."

I look up at him again "But I am safe, aren't I Uncle Jamie?

Is Imogen Safe?
