Logan's investagation has officially begun so that means a lot of mentions of murder, abuse, and drugs will be in the next few chapters

Logan's Pov

I snuck out of the house early in the morning to meet up with Lily at a support group she goes to, I felt awkward to be there when I clearly didn't belong. "Maybe I should just wait out here?" I asked softly but she shook her head.

"A lot of the members of this group have a story similar to mine Logan."

"I know that but I don't belong here… I don't want anyone to be offended by me being here asking questions and digging around in things I shouldn't be."

"The point of being an investigator is to dig around in things you don't belong in." She grabbed my arm and started pulling me into the building. "So there are a few people that I think you should talk to." I nodded and listened to her talk about three people who had a very similar story to hers and when we went in, she pointed at an older lady. "Go talk to her." She said softly, I sighed knowing this was going to be an awful idea.

"Um, hi, my name is Logan…" I said awkwardly. "I was wondering if we could talk." Her eyes moved from the poster she was looking at too me.

"About?"

"Your daughter…" I said softly. "I-I have a few questions but it's okay if you don't want to talk about it." She looked at Lily who was doing her best not to look over at us, but she was failing miserably she kept glancing when she thought we weren't paying attention.

"Did Lily put you up to this?"

"I'm just someone who wants to help…"

"You seem-"

"Awfully young? Yes, I know but I-" She shook her head.

"If you got yourself roped in with Lily then I know you won't stop asking so talk, ask your questions." She said and I felt awful. I wonder if I should just apologize and walk away. I took a deep breath and tried my best.

"Did she tell you where she was going the day she disappeared?"

"She said she was going to meet up with a friend, you know Lily knows all of this she could tell you ever single story of everyone in this room."

"I don't want to hear from Lily, I want to hear from you… If it's too much for you to talk about I won't push you…"

"Why do you care?"

"I want to bring justice for your daughter, for Lily's sister, for all the girls that have died…"

"She was missing for three months when her body was found. The police said it was a drug overdose but she was beaten and starved and…" Tears came to her eyes, she shook her head. "I asked the cops but they brushed it off said that it wasn't murder but all the evidence pointed towards it being murder, I hired a PI and they found evidence that it wasn't a random overdose." I listened to her story. It was so much like Lily's that it was kind of scary.

After briefly talking to the other two Lily suggested I realized that it was all to similar like the police were really just giving the same story over and over but one gave me something useful his daughter had gone to an abandoned building she had told him it was a party but it did strike me as strange so I made a mental note in the back of my mind to check it out later.

After that we went to where Lily's sister Oliva was found. I thought she'd want to stay in the car but she was the first one out of the car. I figured she has been here a lot, way too much. "Are you alright?" I asked.

"I'm fine." She really didn't like talking about herself. "She was found there…" She said pointing down a hill. "Like she was pushed out of a car." She looked blankly down the hill.

I looked around trying to put the pieces together, if there was a car they would have had to cut through the back of a few stores because there was no way for a car to come this way unless the wired fence wasn't here back then. "Was this fence always here?" I asked, she didn't look at it.

"No it was put up a while after…" I looked across the street and there were some security cameras but I doubt they would still have that footage. Lily noticed me looking. "When it happened I went there asking for the footage their cameras are just for show." She said bitterly. "A-Are we done here? Or do you still want to look around?" There was nothing useful for me here so I nodded.

I was thinking about all the information I gathered today and something struck me as odd so I did the only thing I could think of. "Do you mind if I make a call?"

"Go ahead." She said getting into her car I walked a little bit away from the car and called Henry.

He answered way too sappily for me, "Hey Logie, what's up?"

"First of all congratulations."

"Thank you."

"Secondly, I need to ask a hypothetical question…"

"You called me to ask a hypothetical question?"

"Yes." He groaned.

"Of course you did because I'm not on a romantic getaway or anything."

"Exactly." I said jokingly. " So now to my question, If an unsub was drugging his victims before killing them to make it look like an accidental overdose do you think it would be a doctor? Or maybe a drug lord of some kind? You can't keep drugging a bunch of women if you don't have the funds for it, right?"

"Hold on Jess…." Henry said and a door slammed shut. "Logan, that did not sound very hypothetical to me what the hell are you doing?"

"It was a hypothetical question, I'm not doing anything Henry."

"You've been lying a lot lately Logan."

"Henry just answer the question…"

"A doctor would get caught way too easily, they have to log medicine out and if there are more victims it means more medicine he takes which would make him the stupidest killer in the world. It could always be someone buying on the blackmarket but they would have to have a lot of money depending on how many victims there are. I guess a doctor could always get it from the blackmarket but that doesn't make sense most doctors are doctors to save people not kill them.. Do the victims have anything in common?"

"I'm not so sure yet."

"Hmm, very weird answer for a hypothetical question…"

"Henry…"

"If you don't want to tell me what you're doing then fine, just please Logie be careful."

"I'm writing a book." That was the first thing that came to my mind and I hoped it was believable.

"A book? Why?"

"It's helping keep my mind busy and I needed some help, don't worry Hewwie I'm not doing anything wrong, I'm actually watching some stupid movie with Cecily right now." He laughed.

"Good luck with that, when we were in Italy she made me watch some weird Italian soap opera."

"You don't speak Italian though…"

"I TOLD HER THAT! She doesn't listen and Jess is always on me about spending time with everyone, not just you and Liam." I could totally tell he was rolling his eyes. "I have to get back to her but if you need any more information for your book…. Call me."

When I got back in the car Lily glanced at me waiting for me to say something. "Sooo…?"

"I called a friend that's a detective. I was trying to piece some things together that didn't sit well with me…"

"Like what?"

"Everyone I talked to said the police said that they died from drug overdoses, I've read the police reports they all did have traces of drugs but not the same ones and if what you say is true that someone is paying the cops off to be quiet it has to be someone high up why else would they cover up so many murders?"

"It could be a cop." I hadn't thought of that.

"They do have access to drugs they confiscate but how could they buy the silence of a police department?" I shook my head, I'm overlooking something. "Did your sister know any doctors? Or drug dealers?"

"Doctors, no."

"Drug dealers?"

"One but he's a nobody he lives in his mom's basement and sells weed."

"Should we check him out?"

"The only thing he's guilty of is being a total dumbass. Do you know how many times he's been robbed because he walks around with a backpack full of weed and cash?" She shook her head. "I don't know why my sister ever dated him but-"

"Wait, they dated?"

"Yeah why?"

"Did your sister know any of the victims?"

"I already told you no."

"But she could have, right? I mean did you know all your sisters' friends?"

"Well no, she had a group of girls she partied with that I never met, you think they are all connected somehow?"

"It's a longshot seeing as how these murders stretch out all over the country but something about California is different this is where the first ones happened and no matter what they always end up back here…"

"They could have all been killed here but dumped in different states, different jurisdiction."

"No… It seems improbable that they would kill a woman in California and take her body all the way to New York to dump it… What if it's something bigger? Like the sex trade?

"Sex trafficking…?"

"It would make sense as to why they were all dumped the way they were."

"How so?"

"Maybe the ones that got killed were the ones that no one wanted to buy? So to keep them from talking or making it suspicious they made it look like an overdose." Lily looked like she was about to throw up so I didn't continue with my train of thought.

She dropped me off at my car saying we'd continue tomorrow. I didn't want to upset her anymore today she didn't talk at all on the way here so I kept to myself and just as I opened the car door my phone chimed I expected Lily but I got a very pleasant surprise.

Tibs: You're in LA? I'm about an hour away we just finished a case I could come over and search your library until I've cleaned it out? I wanted to talk to you about something… Are you busy?

Logan: Not busy at all feel free to come and take up to 5 books no more I will do a full search if I have to!

Tibs: Sounds hot ;)

I blushed way too hard.

Logan: It wasn't meant to be but thank you, i'll text you the address let me know when you're here so I can sneak you into the basement unless you feel like meeting my whole family…

Jessie's Pov

Henry went to meet up with a few of his old friends from around here, he invited me but I wanted him to enjoy his time out and not worry about me being included in a conversation I probably wouldn't be able to follow in the first place. So I settled down on the patio and worked on some fashion ideas, I'm not looking forward to being in the fashion show so I'm hoping the things I help create are the ones I will be in and not the ones that aunt Izzy or uncle Magnus make because that thought scares me.

I sent one to both of them and within ten minutes uncle Magnus was calling me. "Hello my PumpkinHead."

"Hello my uncle." I replied, causing him to laugh. "Did you not like it?"

"Of course I did but I wanted your opinion on a wedding dress."

"You are making wedding dresses now?"

"No but for you my sweet girl your aunt and I are."

"That's way too much Uncle Magnus! I would never be able to afford-"

"I'm appalled that you honestly think we'd make you pay."

"I'm appalled that you honestly think I would take it for free." I muttered, even when I want to buy anything from a new line he has he'll ask me what I like and within a week I will have it before it even drops in stores. I always give uncle Alec the money for it so he can give it to uncle Magnus but it somehow always magically ends up being deposited back into my bank account.

"Sweet pea I want to do this, honestly I will be heartbroken if you walk down the aisle in a wedding dress that was not made by me or your aunt."

"How about Giovanni?" I said teasingly.

"I'd rather not have you wearing my exes designs but if that is what you want." He said and pretended to cry.

"I was kidding, I'd be so happy if you two would make my wedding dress."

"Good now I need details." Oh boy…

"Well I don't want a white dress that's so outdated and boring and I don't want boring."

"Of course not." He said sarcastically.

"My mom had a gold dress. I like that idea."

"Alright I can work with that." He sounded like he was actually writing this down. "Are you having a destination wedding like your brother?"

"I don't think so… I was thinking about LA since most of the family lives there anyway."

"Would Henry be in gold as well?" I didn't think of that.

"Um…"

"You know I'm just putting down yes for that I have a very nice image in my head for him."

"Okay well you'd know better then me."

"Last question."

"Alright?"

"Are you excited?" He asked and I squealed.

"You have no idea how excited I am, I honestly didn't expect it, I mean I knew one day we'd get married but when I brought it up like a month ago he looked scared so I thought it would be way down the line… And you should see my ring, it looks so beautiful!" I spent another thirty minutes with him just talking about the fact that I was going to be getting married and then another fifteen minutes on where the wedding should be.

After we hung up I went back to being bored. I probably should have just went with Henry, at least I would have had something to do. I was going to call him and ask when he was coming home but I know him and if I did that he would say that he'd come back right now and I didn't want to make him leave if he was having fun with his friends. So I ended up looking up a Victoria's Secret close to the hotel and went to do a little shopping. Henry's made this the most special and unforgettable birthday I've ever had so I decided to do a little something for him. Once I walked in a girl that looked no more then nineteen ran up to me. "Oh my god you're Jessica Herondale aren't you? I've just watched your newest film, I'm a huge fan!"

"Oh… Wow… Thank you." I wasn't very good at dealing with people who are fans of the movies I was in, I actually don't get many people coming up to talk about my movies they are mostly there to say they love my dad or my brother so it's always nerve wracking when someone wants to meet me.

"Can I get a picture with you?"

"Of course." I said and as soon as she took out her phone a group of teenagers who were looking at something all started whispering to each other I really hope they don't come over here.

"Can I help you find anything?" She asks once she shoved her phone back in her pocket. "Are you looking for something in particular?"

"Uhm, I uh, just wanted something to surprise my boyfriend." I now remembered why I shop online instead of in stores. I am too much like my mother when it comes to buying these types of things, lingerie, thinking that made me want to vomit. Aunt Izzy has told me way too many stories of how mom would always be too shy or embarrassed to buy things so she made Izzy do it for her, something I had done as well which made her laugh and tell me that story and I wanted to barf the second she told me which made her laugh even more.

"Are you coming? I said I have the perfect thing in mind." I snapped out of it and followed her, I didn't even really look at what she showed me I just nodded saying i'd take it once I checked the size. I still had another store to stop at after this and I'm sure Henry would like that surprise more then the lingerie.

When I was checking out the group of girls came up behind me, one tapped on my shoulder. I noticed she was wearing one of Ryland's bands shirts, I sighed internally knowing what she was going to say next. "We just wanted to say hi and that your brother's music means so much to us." I wasn't expecting that, I was waiting for the I love your brother so much he's so hot! Like I normally get from random people so this was a nice surprise.

"Oh, thank you I'm sure that means a lot to him." There was one girl in the group who looked like she had no idea who I was which I was sort of thankful for.

"Can you call him so we can say hi to him?" The other girl asked, I knew something like that was coming.

"Here's your change." I turned around and grabbed my money and my bag and sighed internally, I could say no and be a bitch or I could call Ry and make their day it's not like he'd be mad at me for doing that, or at least I'd hope he wouldn't be mad at me.

"I guess…" I said awkwardly.

They squealed really loudly jumping up and down. "Oh my god really? I was just kidding but that would be the greatest birthday present ever!"

"It's your birthday?" I asked.

"Well tomorrow it is."

"Mine was yesterday." I said smiling and the quiet one spoke up.

"I actually wished you a happy birthday on Instagram."

"Oh thank you!" I said as we were leaving the store. "Um so I don't know if he'll answer but-"

"It's okay you don't have to call him. I was just joking when I said that."

"It's no problem." I shrugged as I called him. I took a step away just in case he said no I didn't want them to hear that.

"Heo?" Willow's little voice said and I melted.

"Hi baby girl, why do you have your daddy's phone?" I asked and listened to her babble on for a minute. "Oh is that so? Where is daddy at?"

"Dada?" She asked.

"Lo what are you doing!" Harlan yelled. "Hello?"

"Hey Harrie."

"Hi auntie Jessie! Did Willow call you? She was playing a game on daddy's phone and he went to see what grandma wanted and then she was just talking. I thought it was pretend."

"No I called, is your daddy around?"

"Yeah he's in the kitchen hold on I'll get him." He said and then took a deep breath. "DADDY! COME HERE JESSIE'S ON THE PHONE!" He screamed at the top of his lungs.

"I was one room away my dude you did not have to scream…. Hello?"

"Hey RyRy."

"What's up? Logan said you're too wrapped up in your mushy mushy feelings with Henry to answer the phone let alone call someone, did he do something to hurt you? Do I need to get on a plane and come kick his ass?"

"No I'm fine, I was at the store when I met a group of girls who are fans of your band and one of them asked if I could call you because it's her birthday tomorrow."

"Ah, I see." Ryland said.

"Well? Do you want to talk to them or not?"

"Sure hold on… Max come here."

"Why are you still at home? I thought you and Kayla would be enjoying your kid free time in your brand new home?"

"Kayla's coming back with me for a few weeks so we decided to just hang out at the house for the weekend so I could spend some time with the kids and the family."

"And Max?"

"Max is here because mom's making pizza and he's a fatass." I laughed.

"It's not funny Jess!" My phone vibrated against my ear. I figured it would be Henry but it was Ry FaceTiming me.

"Oh look at that, my ugly brother and my ugly cousin." I said sweetly.

"I'm hurt." Max said dramatically holding his hand to his heart. "Do you know any of their names?" I was confused as to who until I heard one of the girls giggling and I remembered why I had called Ry in the first place.

"Uh, no but I'm just going to let you two say hi." I said taking a few steps back over to them. "So he said yeah." They were all whispering to each other when I turned my phone around and one of them screamed.

"Oh my god! Hi Ryland, hi Max!" All of them were crowded around my phone talking way too fast and all at once but Ryland and Max didn't seem fazed by it; they were answering questions about the band and about a new song that apparently was supposed to be released soon.

"Ryland!" Kayla yelled and Ryland laughed.

"Well it was good to meet you guys. I hope you have an amazing birthday tomorrow but I have to get my daughter, she got into the baby powder." I burst out laughing and turned the phone away from them.

"Wait! Let me see!" I yelled Ryland sighed and turned the phone towards Willow who was in fact covered in baby powder. She was holding the bottle over her head and top of it was on the floor and she was laughing. I took a screenshot right before he hung up.

"Thank you so much for doing that for us." One of them said, I couldn't remember her name and I figured it would be rude to ask since I was standing right next to them when they introduced themselves to Ryland and Max.

"Of course I'm glad you guys got to talk to them, have a good day."

Logan's Pov

"I should be a ninja." I said to Ty who rolled his eyes.

"When I called you saying I was here you said "perfect my niece is running around and everyones trying to catch her so no one will see us", that does not qualify you for being a ninja."

"Still no one saw us so that means I could be classified as a ninja." He came closer to me and his gray eyes shifted past me and then lit up.

"Is that The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes?!"

"Yeah, first edition." He carefully pulled out the first book and set it on the table.

"I am so jealous right now…"

"I also have The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes." I said pointing at the end of the section. "All the books in this room are first editions, well most of them."

He spent twenty minutes putting books on the table and he went well over the five books I said he could borrow but he was really excited looking at all the books and no one else I know gets excited for books except Henry and sometimes Austin. "So you said you wanted to talk to me about something, right?" He nodded but now he was frowning. "Is something wrong?"

"I tried talking to Kit but it didn't really work out…"

"You chickened out?"

"No, I told him but I don't think he believed me, he said he's never seen me with anyone and he doesn't want to ruin our friendship and his friendship with my sisters." He said rolling his eyes.

"So what was it that you wanted from me then?" I asked, leaning against the wall.

"Will you be my boyfriend?"

"Wha…?"

"Not my real boyfriend… My fake boyfriend."

"I'm not following."

"If he sees I have boyfriend and that I'm serious with him he'll finally get it through his head that I'm not-"

"Wait, so you want to use me? To make Kit jealous?"

"Not just that, you'd be using me as well." How would I use him? It's not like I need to make anyone jealous…

"How so?" I asked.

"Your family would let up on you a little, you were saying that they are all still so worried about you since your break up, if they see you moved on they wouldn't worry as much and you wouldn't feel like you were suffocating with all the attention they have been giving you, and who knows maybe this will help you to actually move on." He had a really good point.

"And us being in a relationship is fake? We don't do anything?"

"If that's what you want." He shrugged.

"Do you not want that?" I asked moving closer.

"I figured we could do anything we wanted as long as we don't hurt each other."

"Okay… I'll be your boyfriend or uh fake boyfriend." He smiled as he stood up and kissed me. His kisses made me feel a completely different way then what Damien made me feel and I didn't understand it yet, but I wanted to.

"We're all alone down here right?" He asked, kissing my neck I groaned, nodding pulling his mouth back to mine I pulled away a little to ask.

"Yeah we are, why?" He didn't answer me, his hand went under my shirt and his mouth went back to mine, his kisses were so soft.

Liam's Pov

Willow was having way too much fun running away from everyone, she'd scream loudly when anyone got close to her, I don't know how she's so fast for having such short little legs but she was sure moving. "Willow!" Kayla yelled trying to grab her but she dropped to the ground and started speed crawling. "I give up." She mumbled looking at Ryland. "It's your job to get her." Ry sighed but kept running after her along with Harlan and Max.

"Mom I'm going out!" I yelled and tried to make my escape.

"Liam Alexander!" She yelled just as I picked up my keys for my motorcycle.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"I told you yesterday that Chase wanted to meet up at the dirt bike track so I could teach her to ride." Mom frowned, she wasn't the biggest fan of Chase, in fact I was certain that mom hated her but she would just never say it.

"Your father is only home for a few days Bugga, you can see Chase after he leaves."

"Mom-"

"I said no Liam."

"How come Cecily got to go out then? She's not trapped here." I mumbled.

"Because your sister knows when I say an hour I mean an hour. You don't."

"That's-"

"That's what? How many times have I told you to be home in an hour and you come home four hours later? If you'd listen then I wouldn't care but you don't."

"That's bullshit." I mumbled.

"What was that?"

"Nothing…"

"That's what I thought."

"I got her!" Ryland yelled coming in holding Willow upside down giggling. "Mom, do you want to give her a bath?" He asked hopefully.

"Gama!" Willow yelled her arms already outstretched to her.

"Why the face?" Ryland asked once mom was gone. "You look like you want to punch something."

"Can you cover for me? For an hour?"

"Liam," Ryland groaned. "Where are you going?"

"To meet up with Chase."

"That's a lie."

"N-No it's-"

"I heard you on the phone yesterday with Chase. You told her you couldn't see her because dad was home and that you'd see her when he left, you clearly tried telling mom that you were going to go see Chase so where are you really off to?"

"None of your business…"

"Then I'm not covering for you."

"Fine, I've been gambling again." I muttered and Ryland punched my shoulder. "Ouch you fucking asshole!"

"When will you learn Liam? Dad and I aren't going to bail you out of trouble every single fucking time you screw up."

"I'm not screwing up Ry, I stop when I start losing too much and I don't go in over confident, that was my problem last time."

"No Liam, your problem was that you developed a gambling problem."

"I'm-"

"How much do you owe them?"

"I-I don't owe them anything jackass."

"Liam." He punched me again.

"Okay jeez, it was going fine but there was this new kid who has this amazing poker face and I lost a lot of money way more then I had hoped to lose…"

"And where did you get this money?"

"From my college bank account…"

"Liam…"

"I know what you're going to say-" He grabbed my shirt and started dragging me towards the backyard.

"What are you doing?" Dad asked as we passed him, he had Walter on his shoulder patting his head and dad would pass him something he was eating, something Logan would probably freak out if he saw his monkey eating.

"I'm going to drown him in the pool." Ryland said.

"Ah." Dad said and turned back to the cartoon that Benji and Harlan were forcing him and Max to watch.

"Dad help me!" I yelled but he just smiled.

Ryland shoved me down onto the patio couch and sat down across from me giving me a total disappointed dad look. "What the hell has been going on with you Liam? First the whole married women thing in Italy and now this?"

"It's my money!"

"For college!"

"I'm going to get a scholarship for basketball so I don't see the big deal."

"And what if you don't? Everyone who is good at basketball thinks they are going to get a scholarship but half of them won't, you know this!"

"You aren't my dad Ryland you can't yell at me-"

"Then let me go get dad so he can!"

"Go ahead, I'm always the disappointment anyway." I said bitterly.

"Liam... Why? And you know what I'm asking."

"Because…" I stopped and sighed not saying anything, Ryland waited for me to say something. "Because I lost my job…"

"You what?"

"I got fired from the stupid motorcross stadium." I mumbled.

"How? I-I thought you were doing great there and that you loved it."

"I did but I fucked up and my boss found out and I got fired, it doesn't matter that's not the point."

"Okay," Ryland said softly and I was very thankful he didn't ask how I got fired. "Then what is the point?"

"I have been saving up every penny I was making to buy a new motorcycle, dad noticed I wasn't spending any money and asked me why so I told him and he was really proud of me for not just asking him or mom for the new bike so he said for me to give him the money that I had saved and that he'd match it. So every paycheck I give him half or all of it and he puts the same amount into it so that it won't take me forever to save up for it…"

"Why not just tell dad you lost your job?"

"Because he's proud of me… You might be used to him saying that to you but I'm not… I don't want to disappoint him anymore then I already have."

"Liam-"

"I gambled the last of my money and lost most of it, I was going to tell dad what happened but he said that if I keep it up until I have half that he would just give me the rest since I hadn't complained to him once about not having any money. So I took three hundred dollars out of my college fund… If I don't get a scholarship it's not like I'll even go to college anyway, I'm not smart, not like Logan is and-"

"Don't compare yourself to Logan you two are completely different people, but you really should put the money back if mom or dad see that something's missing they will-"

"It doesn't matter, I lost it… And dad told me today that whenever I get my check to just give him the money or put it in his office and I don't have it so I was going to try my luck again today but mom won't let me leave."

"Liam you know you are a terrible gambler though…"

"Well I haven't just been gambling…"

"What else?"

"I've been street racing my motorcycle."

"You've been street racing your what?!" Came dad from the door.

"Shit…" I groaned, Ryland laughed.

"He got you good didn't he dad." He said still laughing and the pissed look went away to an annoyed glare.

"Ha, ha, ha, very funny. You almost gave me a goddamn heart attack Liam."

"Ha, yeah…" I said lightly dad ruffled my hair.

"What were you two really talking about before Liam heard me come out?" Ryland said that he and dad wouldn't keep bailing me out so I guess I had no choice but to tell him the truth.

"He was talking about Chase and how you and mom hate her."

"I don't hate her, I don't know her." Dad said holding his hands up. "And your mother said she didn't like her attitude and her lack of respect."

"And a whole lot of other things…" I muttered.

"Oh come on, your mom has not liked at least one person any of you kids dated."

"Uh…" Ryland said, scratching his head. "Mom likes Kayla right?"

"Yeah she loves her but we didn't like almost half the girls you brought home." Dad jokes.

"Geez thanks dad…."

"My point is Liam, your mom just wants what's best for you and Chase is uh… Nice and all but-"

"I get it dad don't worry I don't plan on marrying her or anything she's just fun to be around and that's all I care about." I shrugged.

"Wait did mom tell you she hated Chase?"

"No but I know she doesn't like her, mom would never openly tell anyone she hated them or be mean just because she doesn't like someone she's always really nice to her but I can tell she doesn't like her."

"Hmm," Dad said and laughed. "I wish she was like that back when I was dating Ashley." Dad mumbled but gave Ry and I a look that definitely meant he didn't mean to say that in front of us.

"I thought you said you only dated mom in school?" Ryland said.

"Yeah middle school through highschool… I was dating Ashley when I found out about you actually and your mother said-" Dad stopped and laughed. "Your mother will kill me if I tell you so forget I said anything."

The door opened again and mom and Willow came out. "I bring an all clean baby."

"Aw ceen!" Willow yelled, throwing her hands up.

"I was going to give her to Kayla but she's lying with Benji and Harlan watching that horrible movie." Mom said, shaking her head.

"Better watch out Ry, Benji's trying to steal your wife." I said laughing, last night Benji begged Ryland to sleep with him and Ry kept saying no until Kayla said sure and he ended up cuddling with her all night pushing Ryland to the end of the bed.

"Bugga?"

"Yeah mom?"

"Can you go find Logan for me? I haven't seen him for an hour and I don't want him alone right now."

"We'll finish our talk later Li." I nodded and ran inside and down into the basement. There are few places Logan goes to disappear and his library is one of them. The door was surprisingly cracked open. I pushed it the rest of the way and wished I had knocked because he was making out with someone like hardcore makeout. I cleared my throat and they jumped away from each other.

"Uh… The door was open…" I said awkwardly. "Mom wanted to make sure you were alright because you disappeared…"

"You must be Logan's twin, Liam right?" The guy asked and smiled at me.

"Uh yeah, you are?"

"I'm Ty." He said, sticking his hand out from me to shake.

"Liam, it's nice to meet you."

"You as well, It's nice to meet someone from Loga's family, well I've met your sister she's really nice." My eyebrows raised at the name Loga and I gave Logan a small glance that meant we'd definitely have a long conversation about this when Ty was gone.

"How do you and Logan know each other?" Ty looked at Logan and nodded.

"Ty's my boyfriend." He said and surprise flickered in his eyes like it was the first time he called him that out loud. "He was in town from finishing a case and decided to come steal all my books."

"Not all of them, only twenty three so far."

"So far!" He yelled in mock outrage.

"Yeah, I've only looked at like five bookshelves I still have like ten more to go." He kissed Logan's cheek as he went back to looking at the books, I think it was mostly to give Logan and I a moment alone.

"When were you going to tell me you were seeing someone? Is that why you have been so secretive? He's the one you took to the Tony Awards right?"

"Yeah, that's him."

"So, why didn't you tell me?"

"This is all new and I was worried how you would react."

"What do you mean?"

"You were really close with Damien and I don't want you to be mean to Ty just because-"

"Log as long as you are happy that is all I want, and I'm sorry I walked in on you two making out…"

"Uh yeah sorry about that I thought I closed the door."

"A real ninja would have never made that mistake!" Ty yelled playfully.

"Mom didn't want you alone but I guess I'll just tell her you aren't really alone…" I turned to leave but Logan grabbed my arm.

"Actually we'll come up. Tibs come on, I want you to meet the rest of my family."

"Right behind you Loga." He said placing four books down on the table before coming to take Logan's hand.

Everyone was watching a movie in the living room and only mom seemed to notice me come in but she barely glanced at me as she asked. "Did you find Logan?"

"Yeah and uh someone else…" I said mom finally looked away from the movie and to Logan and Ty and then down to there interlaced fingers, she tapped dad's shoulder and he also looked over.

"Uh, everyone this is Ty, Ty this is everyone." Logan said quickly.

Benji was the first to jump up and come over to us. "Are you Logan's boooyyyfriend?" He asked, making a kissy face I'm sure he was mostly joking and mom was about to say something when Ty smiled.

"Actually I am."

"Oh…" Mom said.

"Logan didn't tell us he was seeing anyone." Dad said and looked at Logan.

"It's uh…" He looked at Ty helplessly.

"He didn't want anyone to know until at least three months after we became official because there's a statistic about-"

"I-I don't think they want to hear about statistics right now Tibs…" Logan said softly. "I just figured since he was already here that he should get to meet you guys…"

"Would you like to stay for dinner?" Mom asked.

"Oh… Uh…" Ty looked at Logan like he was waiting for him to answer for him and when he didn't Ty sighed and nodded. "Sure I'd like that."

Cecily's Pov

I have never wished I was smart before but right now I was really wishing I was because Austin was going on and on about Benjamin Franklin and well the most I know about him is that he's on the hundred dollar bill and that he invented electricity and I wasn't even sure that was right. "Do you want me to talk about something else Aoibheann?" He asked, tilting his head in an adorable way.

"N-No keep talking please, I was just lost in my own world for a second." He nodded but didn't keep talking. "Are you mad at me?"

"No, of course not. I'm just assuming you probably find me boring."

"Of course I don't, I was actually trying to remember what I knew about Ben Franklin and it's not a lot and I didn't want to say something and sound stupid."

"I'm sorry…"

"Why are you sorry?"

"I know you don't like that sort of stuff and I was going on and on about him inventing Lightning rods." He said and then laughed. "God, saying that back just sounded lame." I couldn't help but laugh at that. "If Logan or Henry were here they would've corrected me though…"

"About?"

"Well there was another scientist- well he was a priest but also a scientist and he also invented a lightning rod and a lot of people debate on who did it first. Actually it was one of our great debates when Henry, Logan, and I made our own little debate club."

"You are such a geek!" I yelled while taking a bite of my cheesecake. Austin brought me to the Cheesecake Factory and so far the only things we have been ordering were desserts. "So who won the debate?"

"Logan," He sighed. "He brought up way too many good points and plus Prokop Diviš invented his lightning rod after Ben Franklin invented his."

"I take it you didn't win very many debates?"

"Against Logan? No… Against Henry? Also no." I choked on my cheesecake and Austin laughed. "But I expected to lose. I drew the short straw having to pick his side." He said, shaking his head.

"Are you not a fan of Porkchop then?" I asked and Austin had to cover his mouth.

"I-It's Prokop."

"Oh my god…" I dropped my head onto the table and Austin lost it and he burst out laughing. I was fairly certain that people around us were looking but he didn't stop. "I thought you said Porkchop Davis was his name!"

"Prokop…." He said laughing still. "Diviš…." He wiped his eyes, clearing his throat. "You never cease to amaze me Aoibheann."

"I'm glad you found it funny and didn't decide to just walk out on me."

"I would never walk out on you, but to answer your question I wouldn't really consider him an inventor but we'd have a list of topics and they we had to pick a side but chances are we'd always be on the same side of things so we'd put it in a hat and draw I got stuck defending him even though I really wanted Ben Franklin."

"Don't you need more then three people to debate?"

"Actually three is the perfect number, two debate and one moderates."

"Wait a minute, when you and Henry would spend the night that's why you guys were always yelling at each other!?" He smiled brightly.

"Yeah or we were playing D&D."

"You still haven't taught me how to play that."

"We need more then two people to play it, perhaps the next time Logan and Henry are here we can have a campaign."

"Sure." I had no idea what that meant my phone vibrated and while Austin was busy cutting into his cake I looked down at my phone.

Idiot brother #2: So Logan's boyfriend is staying for dinner in case you want to meet him

Cecily: WHAT DO YOU MEAN BOYFRIEND?!

Idiot brother #2: I mean Logan has a new boyfriend and he's staying for dinner

Cecily: Is he hot?

Idiot Brother #2: How the fuck am I supposed to know?

"Is everything okay?" Austin asked.

"Um, yeah, Liam texted me saying Logan's new boyfriend is staying for dinner."

"Logan has a boyfriend?" Austin asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Apparently so, I figured he would have told you about him."

"No," He said, looking a little hurt. "He didn't but we don't really talk about that sort of stuff… Logan isn't one to open up to people other then Henry but it's been like that since well forever, but enough about that, how's Italy? Are you enjoying fashion and, erm, fashion?" I laughed.

"Yes I am enjoying fashion and fashion," He rolled his eyes. "I got to help design so many new dresses and this handbag, oh my god I want it but uncle Magnus says I have to wait until the release date gets closer before he will give me one." I said sadly.

"So you get the entire line for free?"

"It depends on what I want."

"Are you going to go to college for fashion?"

"Yes! I want to go to the Academy of Costume and Fashion." I said dreamily.

"Uh, where is that?"

"It's in Rome! Uncle Magnus went there and I want to follow in his footsteps."

"Where did your aunt go?"

"Um, I know she started at one in LA but she finished at the one Magnus was at I'm not really sure though but I'll have to ask her, I want options you know… They have some really good ones in New York and Jessie says that if her and Henry are still living in New York when I go to college that I can live with them if I choose to go but I'm not really sure what I want to do."

"I'm sure you'll know when the time comes."

"What about you? What's your dream college?"

"In the US? MIT. Out of the US? ETH Zürich."

"I'm sorry what was the last one?" He laughed.

"It's a university in Switzerland, it's considered the seventh best college in the world."

"Wow…"

"When Logan told your parents he wanted to go to college at thirteen and they agreed he applied to the top twenty universities in the world. He got into all of them. He said ETH Zürich would have been his dream and told me that I was smart enough to get in… I never really believed in myself but having someone who I know on IQ standards is 46.92% smarter then me telling me I get into Zürich of all places it really made me start working harder to try and make it there." He shrugged. "Sorry if I'm-"

"No, no, you're fine." I smiled. "So do you know um Switzerlish? Swedish?" I asked trying to think what they spoke and Austin laughed loudly.

"That's adorable."

"Shut up!"

"For the record the official languages are German, French, Romansh, and Italian." He smiled brightly. " I happen to speak a little of them all." His smile turned into a smirk. "But I'd be willing to learn Switzerlish if you'd teach me." He said and laughed again.

"I hate you." I mumbled.

"Oh come on," He laughed. "That was funny, do you know any other languages? Italian, French, and a little Spanish, oh and I'm learning sign language for Jessie."

"Could you teach me?"

"Teach you what?"

"Sign language."

"I-I'm not the best at it… Dad and I suck actually… Benji's learned more words then I have."

"I still want you to teach me what you know."

Once we were done eating our dessert we were going to go to the park and walk around for a bit but I wanted to meet Logan's boyfriend and Austin had to help his mom with something so I asked Ryland to pick me up and dodged every question of "So who were you hanging out with" the second I got into the car. "What have you learned about Logan's boyfriend?" I asked after the tenth time he asked me, Ryland shrugged.

"His name is Ty."

"That's it!" I yelled Ryland glanced at me, raising an eyebrow.

"Was I supposed to do a full background check?" He asked, amused.

"Um no it's called stalking! Facebook, Instagram, Grindr-"

"What the fuck is a grindr?" Ryland asked.

"It's a dating app for the gays."

"How do you know that?"

"I made one for Logan after he and Damien broke up in Italy he had it for all of thirty minutes. Some dude sent him a dick pic and Logan did not appreciate it."

"This is why I refused to tell you about Kayla." He mumbled and I think back to when I tried finding clues about her. "You are crazy."

"If Jessie was here she would help me search."

"Apparently Jessie already knew."

"WHAT!" I screamed. "AND THAT BITCH DIDN"T TELL ME?!"

"She was confused and asked who and when Liam told her his name she said oh yeah he's really sweet."

"I'll be the judge of that." I said bitterly. I wasn't about to let Logan's heart get broken again.

Henry's Pov

Jessie's watching a movie when I get back to our hotel room she's half asleep but when she sees me she smiles. "Hey baby." She signs and I frown.

"What's wrong? Why are you signing? Do your ears hurt?" She smiled.

"No I was napping and just woke up. Can you grab them for me?" She asked and pointed towards the dresser. I carefully picked them up and turned them on for her waiting for the loud beep that always scared her because she puts her hearing aids in too fast and then gave them to her. "Did you have fun with your... mates?" I rolled my eyes.

"Yes I did have fun with my mates, thank you for asking."

"Oh god, your accent is coming back and I am living for it. How long do we have to stay here to make it as thick as it was when you moved back to LA? Because I will cancel everything."

"Not happening."

"But it's so sexy." She pouts pulling me into her. "I missed you today." She kissed my cheek.

"I missed you too love."

"I missed you so much I even got you a present."

"I guess you and I had the same idea then." I said and lifted up the bag I had dropped on the floor.

"What is that?"

"You first." She narrowed her eyes and tried to grab it but I stepped back. "Nope, you said it first." She rolled her eyes but got out of bed and into the bathroom. "Um…. Why did you put my present in the bathroom?" I asked with a small suspicion of what it might be.

"You'll see." She said softly.

I don't know how long I wait but I know it's not long until she comes out in black lace and I can't help the groan that comes out of my mouth. She smiles softly when she hears it. "You were gone a very long time Hewwie, I missed you." She leaned against the wall. "Want to show me what you got now?" She asked, lifting her hand up holding something. Handcuffs… I gulped.

"Um…" It appears I don't know words anymore. I can't take my eyes off of her as I lift the bag towards her and she reaches in and pulls it out.

"A...cupcake…?" I nod. "Uh, thanks? I'm not really hungry right now but-"

"No…" I said taking it from her and opening the box to take it out. "You misunderstand Strawberry."

"I do?"

"You said you got me a present and I said what?"

"That we had the same idea?"

"Meaning?" I asked, tilting my head.

"That… you got me a cupcake?" She asked softly, looking at it. "You know I won't eat this Hen I don't understa-" She stops talking when I start putting the frosting on her.

"I didn't get you a present my love, I got me a present."

"Oh…" She says softly. "Um here…" She said and handed the handcuffs to me.

"You have a horrible problem with these things."

"I know." She said softly and moved towards the bed carefully not letting any of the frosting fall off her.

"It's too much you better be ready to lick all this off me no matter how long this takes because I will punch you if I end up with buttercream in my-" I grab her hands pulling them up over her, she whimpers as I handcuff her to the bed.

"I'm always up for a challenge my Strawberry, you know that." She blushed. "You look so fucking beautiful." She blushed harder.

"Can you um… Start now please? I'm going insane here…"

Logan's Pov

Dinner hasn't been going horrible as I suspected it would be, mostly just random conversation. I guess everyone isn't trying to appear to be nosy but I know when Ty leaves I will get a billion questions from everyone, that I am not looking forward to. We were all mostly done eating but we'd always stay at the table and talk afterwards because sometimes we would all be busy during the day that dinner was the only family time we had so mom always made us stay after dinner so we could catch up on what's been happening. "So Ty, what do you do?" Dad asked and Ty smiled politely.

"I work for the FBI." Everyone seems impressed.

"Wow really what do you do?" Benji asked.

"I work in the behavioral analysis unit." Benji raised his eyebrows and Ty laughed and tried to explain it in a way a child could understand and Benji and Harlan seemed to think it was the coolest thing ever.

"So you get to stop bad people from hurting people?" Harlan asked.

"Yeah."

"You're a superhero!" Harlan yelled, jumping up and down in his seat.

"Harrie sit still you'll fall." Kayla said pushing his chair in closer to the table.

"Sorry mommy…"

"Um.. No I'm not really a superhero…"

"How'd you meet Logan then?" Ryland asked, shit I never told him that I didn't tell anyone what happened. I tried to catch his eye but he was looking at Ryland. Cecily caught my eye, she knows this story because I told her recently.

"Oh! He saved my life." He gave me a soft smile.

Mom and dad both frowned. "What do you mean?" Dad asked.

"Well Logan was helping out on a case because the Chief of police's daughter got-" He stopped and looked at Harlan and then at Benji who was listening very intently. "Um…" Oh thank the gods for children being around.

"Benny did you and Harlan want dessert?" Mom asked and they both nodded jumping out of their seats and running into the kitchen.

Fuck…

Ty smiled at her and continued his story. "It's a really long story but Logan saved me from a serial killer."

"H-How exactly?" Liam asked. Double fuck… Liam was really protective over me.

"Oh uh you haven't told them this story Loga?"

"Uh no… It slipped my mind…"

"Logan sometimes helps out on cases for Henry and this time the Chief asked for Logan's help and when my team arrived I found the address for the guy and I stupidly went in without my gun to try and save the little girl but uh… I almost got killed but Logan saved me and the girl." Everyone was looking at me.

"Um… Yeah, it was something…" I said scratching my head.

"I for one am very proud of you Logie, you saved two people and you should be proud of yourself." Cecily said I smiled at her silently thanking her, Mom seemed to snap out of it but she gave me a look that said we were going to be having a very very very long conversation about everything soon.

"Do you have any brothers or sisters?" Liam asked trying to change the topic but he was giving me the same look everyone was.

"I have three brothers and three sisters and two sister-in-laws."

"Ty is a twin as well." I said and Liam sparks up at that.

"Identical?"

"She's a girl so no." Ty said and Liam laughed.

After dinner Ty had to go back to his hotel so I took Walter and ran up to my room hoping no one would want to talk to me but not even ten minutes into my solitude the door opened and Ryland was dragging Liam in and then pushed him down onto my bed. "I don't know why you two always have to be the ones to get yourselves into crazy ridiculous shit but we're having a serious fucking brother meeting right now."

"Um.." I said. "Shouldn't Benji been in here as well then?"

"He's twelve and not as stupid as you two apparently."

"What have you done?" I asked Liam.

"Gambling and Street Racing," I nodded. "You?"

"Solving murders and hooking up." Liam laughed.

"Liam, I will give you the money to pay dad but you need to tell him you got fired. I know you don't want him to be disappointed in you but he'd be more disappointed if you don't tell him and he finds out."

"I am going to when I find a new job." Ryland sighed.

"And you…" Ryland looked at me. "Why didn't you tell anyone what you did?"

"I thought mom would have been mad at me… It's my dream to join the BAU… It's the whole reason I went to college to study psychology and sociology. It's something I really want and so does Henry he's on his way to achieving that goal though… I'm not and I'm really happy for him… Maybe I'll just go back to college or something I don't know."

"Log, you know if it's something you want mom and dad would be happy for you right? That's all they want is for you to find something you love not for you to be miserable."

"How come you are talking to Logan and not mom or dad?" Liam asked.

"Because they know he'd never talk to them about this so I said I would come and talk to you." Ryland said.

"I have nightmares about it…" I said softly.

"About stopping a serial killer?"

"About shooting a serial killer…" I said softly picking up Walter and stroking his head he seemed to enjoy it. "I hesitated at first but she was only like eight and he was going to stab Ty so I pulled the trigger and…" I stopped watching it replay in my head. "I told him to drop the knife but he wouldn't and there was nothing else I could do about it…"

"You saved two people Logan." Liam said and patted my back. "Don't feel sorry for sending that douche to Hell where he deserves to go."

"I don't feel bad about it anymore, I did when it happened but now I'm just… I don't know there are times where it doesn't bother me but other times it's all I can think about."

"Does it change your mind about wanting to join the BAU?" Ryland asked and I shook my head.

"No I still really want to."

"Then that's what's important and mom and dad will support you."

"Thanks Ry I-" My phone chimed.

Uncle Magnus: I am ready to beautify you for the drag show come over whenever your ready and we will get this show on the road

"Shit, sorry I have to go." I said standing and kissed Walter's head. "Will you watch Walter for me Liam?"

"Where are you going?" They asked in unison it's not like I had to hide it. Uncle Magnus already said at the party it so I shrugged.

"The drag show is tonight and Magnus said he'd do my makeup and stuff so I have to head over to his house."

"Wait, you're doing a drag show?" Liam asked wide eyed. Shit I forgot he wasn't around when he told everyone.

"Uh yeah…"

"I want to come."

"And I already said I was going plus Max and Kayla wanted to go."

"Um…"

"It's settled." Liam said and Ryland nodded his head in agreement. I hate older brothers….

Ryland's story will be updated within the week if anyone is as bored as me feel free to message me we can talk about anything ^.^ have a great day and stay safe
