Some of the staff walk over and apologize to how the first staff guy treated them, and even gave him and his daughter some presents and food.

Echo smiles and looks at his daughter and holds her tactical pen out. "Here even though it may be a pen but it can be used for self defense or when you need to protect yourself," Echo says to the girl.

Alex looked at her, surprised. *your giving her that? Im not against it, Im just surprised you are.*

The girl looked at the pen, unsure whether to take it or not. *its sentimental to you... I cant take that...*

Echo smiles and says, "I am giving it to you because everyone should have something to use for self defense or to protect yourself. I'll get a new one but you need it more then me. You can also write with the pen that why I have the tactical pen on me because no one expects a pen. But don't use it for the wrong reasons only the right, okay?"

She nodded, taking it gently. *i... thank you.*

Echo smiles and says, "your welcome,"

She smiled and hugged Echo. *you were kind to Daddy. Thank you.*

Echo smiles and hugs her back. "Your welcome kid," Echo says.

She smiled. *im Liz. Short for Elizabeth.*

Matt smiled at his daughter.

Echo smiles and says, "My name is Echo, Liz and happy birthday,"
