Disclaimer: I don't own Spooks or any of the characters.

Edward Carter sighed as he watched his twin brother drive up to the house and park. From where Edward was sat on the window ledge in his bedroom, he could see every move that Adam made.

As he watched his brother fumble with the key for the house, Edward noticed how tired Adam was looking lately. He knew that Fiona's death had affected him a lot, but although it had initially seemed that Adam would not cope, Edward had thought that he was staying strong, for Wes' sake. Well, that was how it should have been.

Adam had always been the brave one of the family, willing to try anything, and always ending up in trouble. He was totally reckless, and Edward had always thought that he wasn't scared of anything. When they were younger Edward had always wished that they could swap places, that he could become the sort of person that he had always wanted to be, and that Adam could have a go at leading HIS life.

Only it wouldn't have worked. Adam wouldn't have been able to cope being Edward, living a minor life, having few friends and turning the colour of a beetroot every time a girl spoke to him.

The sound of Adam's footsteps on the stairs interrupted Edward's steady train of thoughts. Edward knew that Adam would come in to say hello to him before retiring into his room for the rest of the evening. He quickly jumped up from his position on the window ledge, so that Adam wouldn't suspect he had been watching him.

"Hey Eddie." Eddie. Adam always called him that. He was the only person that ever had, and secretly Edward quite liked it, although he would never admit it.

"Hey. Good day?" Of course, Edward only asked that to make conversation between them. He knew what the answer would be:

"Same as usual."

That was what Adam always said. Come to think of it, he never spoke about his job. Edward sometimes wandered if Adam was something other than the software specialist he always claimed to be. Once, when Adam had had to leave at a particularly early hour in the morning, Edward had almost voiced these thoughts. But of course he hadn't, for fear that Adam would laugh at him, and tell him that he was being ridiculous. Which Edward was almost certain he would have. Because that was the way things worked.

So... What do you think??? Sorry its a bit short, I promise that the next chapter will be a bit longer and more interesting!! Please R&R.
