Hidden Talent

Kayo sat listening to the recording of the conversation between MAX and Caitlin. From it she was able to get the address of the house she had lived in as well as the name of the man who she had run away from. Her and Scott were then able to tell the GDF. A few hours later they were alerted of the arrest.

The man, Jason, had a history with alcoholism and the death of his wife Susan had caused him to relapse. He had pleaded guilty and was to be sentenced in a few months.

"What's going to happen to me?" Caitlin asked Alan after he had told her. Her arm was getting better by the day but her leg was taking its time to heal.

"Don't worry. You'll be staying here until the sentencing. Scott wants to keep an eye on you for the foreseeable future. I think he's starting to get a bit attached to you."

Caitlin just smiled and watched as Alan drew a red rocket on her leg cast.

3 weeks later and Caitlin's arm had completely healed up, and without any permanent damage to her brain she was allowed into the main house for the first time. Because her arm was still weak, she was given a wheelchair so she could get around.

Alan pushed her up to the lounge where everyone was waiting for her. Even John had come down to meet her. After she had met everyone, Caitlin was allowed to see her new room.

It was one of the guest rooms but was still quite large. There was a double bed in the right corner and next to it, a glass door leading to a balcony. On the left side of the room, there was a wardrobe and another door to the bathroom. Caitlin smiled when she saw her backpack sitting on the bed waiting for her.

She decided to leave the room and go back to the lounge. She was just coming to the entrance to the room when she heard someone playing the piano. The tune was familiar to her as she often heard it growing up. It was a lullaby one of her friends had taught her. Suddenly remembering the words, she started to sing along.

"Don't you dare look out your window, darling everything's on fire

The war outside our door keeps raging on

Hold onto this lullaby even when the musics gone, gone

Just close your eyes, the sun is going down

You'll be alright, no one can hurt you now

Come morning light, you and I'll be safe and sound"

By the time she reached the end of the chorus, Virgil had stopped playing and turned to face her. "Does anyone else know you can sing like that?" Virgil asked.

Startled, Caitlin shook her head. "I never really sang for people. I'm not really good with crowds."

"You're a bit like John. He hates crowds and people. Why do you think he stays up in 5 all the time."

"He must get lonely every once in a while?"

"He has EOS. He loves it up there."

Caitlin just nodded and went back to her room. Virgil followed her and helped her into bed. She was asleep meer minutes after he left, starting to feel like home here, somehow. However, she wondered how long it would be before they learned her other secret.

A/N

Now before anyone moans at me, I don't know how the law system works in detail. I know the basics. I also don't know about Australian law as I am British, so I can only apologise for any inaccuracies I include in this story.

The song I included was Safe And Sound by Taylor Swift and The Civil Wars. I do not own the song so all credit where its due.

So what do you think her other secret is? What will it mean for her and the others?

Stay tuned and thanks for the support.
