My mom died giving birth to me. They couldn't save her. My dad? He dumped me outside a prison and ran. Didn't even look back. It was five degrees. I was basically frozen. Barely breathing. Later, a guard said the whole max block lost it that night. One hundred eight inmates—death row, life sentences—went crazy. Slamming doors. Smashing windows. Yelling they wanted to keep me. In the end, they filed a letter. Not a breakout plan. A custody request. Somehow... it got approved. From that day on, I had 108 dads. But growing up, I found out the truth. They weren't criminals. On paper, they were dead—killed in the line of duty. In reality, they were still out there, serving. Eighteen years later, I got into one of the top high schools—with the highest score in the State of Ashford. On the fifth day, I beat the rich girl, Vivian Cobbley, by one point on a mock exam. Next thing I knew, my name was all over the bulletin board: [Riley Ray, daughter of murderers!] Vivian cornered me in the bathroom and shoved my head into a toilet. "Your dads are killers. That filth's in you too." She beat me so hard I dragged her down when we went over the second-floor railing. When I woke up, the Dean of Students was right in my face, finger in my face. "No surprise you're violent. It's in your blood. Call your criminal dads. Now." I shook. "Mr. Todd... you sure you want me to call them?"

After the dads left, life snapped back to normal. School. Home. Tests. Repeat.Everything felt too calm—like nothing ever went down.But I knew better.At school, no one messed with me anymore. The same people who used to look down on me? Now they kept their distance.Sometimes I'd find notes in my desk drawer. Just one word: [Sorry.]I kept every single one. Didn't throw them away.When the final exam scores dropped, I ranked first in the whole school. Again.My homeroom teacher called me out in class, praising me, then told me to give a speech.I stood at the podium, staring at all those eyes—and blanked.A few seconds passed."I want to thank my dads."The room went dead quiet."They're not ordinary men. They're heroes. They've done things for this country no one will ever hear about."They raised me. Taught me right from wrong. Protected me when no one else did."They're not here right now, but I know they're still watching over me."So I'm gonna keep going. Get into

Dad Thirty-Two's injury wasn't serious. The blade didn't go deep. No organs hit.But the doctor said his body was wrecked from old injuries. He needed real rest.While he was in the hospital, I showed up every day."Riley." He lay there, holding my hand. "I'm fine. Don't worry."I nodded. Tears wouldn't stop."Silly girl." He wiped them away. "I'm tough. I'm not dying.""Don't say that." I covered his mouth.He smiled. "Alright. I won't."A week later, he was discharged.That day, all 107 of my dads showed up—completely clogging the hospital entrance.Dad Thirty-Two stood in the middle of them, grinning like a kid. "Alright, alright, break it up. I'm fine."Dad One clapped his shoulder. "Let's go home. We're throwing you a welcome-back dinner."That night—for the first time, all my dads were there.The apartment was way too small, so they took it downstairs—lined up tables out in the open.Dad Sixty-Seven ran the kitchen, throwing together a full spread.Dad Ninety-Four

Vivian froze—then snapped into manic laughter. "Hahaha! Perfect timing!"She flipped the knife and lunged at Dad Thirty-Two. "I'll kill you first!"He didn't move.The blade drove into his abdomen. Blood poured out."Dad!" I screamed.He glanced at the knife in his stomach—then struck.Bang.Vivian flew. Hit the wall. Slid down, coughing up blood.Dad Thirty-Two pressed a hand to his wound and walked toward her, slow and steady."Vivian." Calm. Flat. "You know whose blood this is?"She shook her head, trembling."Your uncle's." He stopped in front of her. "He brought a dozen guys to jump Riley on the road. They're all in the hospital now."Vivian's face drained white."The second you escaped, we knew," he went on. "We had this whole city covered, waiting for you to show. Everything you said? We heard it."Figures started filling the alley.Dad One. Dad Sixty-Seven. Dad Ninety-Four. Dad Fifty-Five.They sealed off the exit. No way out.Vivian just stared, stunned.Dad

The Cobbleys went down, and things finally chilled out.Yeah... temporary.The day Vivian Cobbley got hauled off to juvie, she sent me a message:[Riley Ray, when I get out, I'll make your whole family pay.]Cute.I told Dad One. He just smiled. "Let her try."Days blurred. Finals hit.I took first in the whole school, fifty points ahead of second.The day scores dropped, Dad Sixty-Seven and Dad Ninety-Four actually took off work to come."My daughter's insane!" Dad Sixty-Seven waved my report card, grinning.Dad Ninety-Four almost never smiled. He did now. "Riley, what do you want as a reward?"I thought it over. "I want to see the others."They traded a look. Silence."Riley, most of them are on assignment. It's not really—""I know." I cut in. "Then when can they come back?""Soon," Dad Ninety-Four said. "When the mission's done, they'll come back."I nodded. Didn't push.That night, I dreamed.All my dads were there, crammed around me, celebrating my eighteenth.

The air went ice-cold.I stared at Dad One. My throat locked up. The burn behind my eyes finally spilled over.The past few days—I'd carried it all alone. Kept it buried. Didn't even dare cry out loud. If they found out, they'd come. And that would only drag them into this."Dad...""Oh, so thes

The second I finished, a sharp slap cracked.Before I could react, my face was already on fire."Who do you think you're threatening? Go on—call them if you've got the guts!"Vivian's father—Graham Cobbley—stood by the hospital bed, hand still raised, eyes cold with rage.Mr. Todd rushed over, a
