Summary
The stranger was waiting for them when they got home from the store, casually seated at the kitchen table with a gun held loosely in a heavily tattooed hand.
Simon froze at the sight of it, a visceral sort of fear making his throat close up before he could even think about screaming, coiling around him like a vice. Cool, calculating eyes met his gaze.
The front door closed somewhere behind Simon, signaling John's return with the mystery bag he had refused to let him peek into, and Simon's body spasmed — to run, to fight? — but ultimately stayed rooted to the spot.
“I was thinking, Si, maybe we could…” John said, his voice coming closer and closer and the stranger at the table straightened in anticipation. Simon saw the fingers tighten around the gun and he could already see it rise in his mind, hear the deafening gunshots and smell the blood, see the—the body lie motionless on the floor.
Just like mum.
Just like Tommy.
John has a target on his back. Can he make sure he and his son make it out in one piece?

Summary
Simon had always hated Father's day and everything it represented; his father was a cruel bastard and deserved no love or respect.
Then everything had changed. He had lost a lot, and gained a second chance. John wasn't anything like his father, he was warm and kind and safe. He was the kind of dad Simon had always wished for.
Now it was Father's day, his chance to show John what he meant to him.
And he had forgotten.
