Family Secrets – Part 5
Duncan sat in front of the computer. So a 'laird' was an owner of a large estate...but that would mean Paul owned a large estate? Which would also mean... his father used too! Duncan couldn't believe it... he thought they just lived in the highlands in a typical cottage. Well now he needed to know where this Glenbogle place was, he had already decided it must be a place, so he bought up the goggle home page. "Right...here goes nothing" Duncan said typing in 'Glenbogle' in the search bar. He took a deep breath and clicked 'Search'. Instantly results came flooding on the page. He looked at the first one.

Duncan must of read it over and over again. 'Home to the MacDonald family?' His curiosity got the better of him and he clicked on it. His eyes scanned the page as he saw the 'web cam' option. He clicked on it; he suddenly pulled himself closer to the screen in amazement. "That's...the HOUSE?" he spoke to himself getting louder. He couldn't see it that well because as he thought of the time difference it was about 10 at night. He clicked on the web cam pictures. One was of outside... yes still dark so couldn't see anything. Then the second one intrigued him... it was actually inside the house. "Wow" Duncan said sitting back and admiring it. He sat watching it for ages, but there didn't seem to be any movement in the house. After a while he almost gave up, ready to explore the rest of the house. Then suddenly a figure emerged on the screen. "Uncle Paul!" Duncan said excited and sitting right up. He looked right up close to the screen. Yes, Yes it was defiantly him! Duncan enlarged the screen so he could get a clearer view. Just then a little voice piped up behind him "Hey it's uncle Paul!" Shelley's little voice shocked Duncan's ears. He spun round on the chair. "Shelley!" Duncan yelled surprised. "Hey mum, Uncle..." Shelley began to speak but Duncan grabbed her and held his hand over the mouth muffling her voice. She started to struggle but Duncan whispered in her ear "Shh! Shell just shut up for a minute will ya?"
Dutifully she obeyed, and Duncan removed his hand. He reached round her and exited the website. "But Dunc I don't understand..." Shelley said quietly in fear. "Don't worry but just don't say anything to mum or dad, understood?" Duncan said seriously. "Understood" Shelley said copying Duncan's serious face. "Good...right well why did you come in here?" Duncan said relaxing and spinning around on the chair. "We've off to the beach" Shelley said excited "Then we're going to go to the hotel for a bit" Lexie suddenly opened the door, both children tensed up. "Oh good your not killing each other" Lexie laughed, Duncan and Shelley both put on pity laughs. "Shell you called didn't ya?" Lexie said talking to her daughter, who kept looking at Duncan, worried. "Yeah... Erm... I was going to say..." Shelley said looking at Duncan again, he was shaking his head behind their mother and mouthing the words 'Don't say anything'. "Duncan's coming with us" she smiled happily; pleased she had thought of something.
Duncan got up, "Yes, so come on Shell...lets go get ready" he said taking her hand and giving his mother a smile. Lexie looked at the two worried, after they had gone she stood and thought to herself 'What just happened?' then she laughed, "Maybe they are finally getting on!" she spoke to herself as she followed them.
When downstairs, Duncan let go of Shelley's hand, "Well done" he whispered to her. "Thanks Dunc" she smiled, she liked the fact that they had a secret.
"Right Dunc, have you got your swimmers?" Lexie called, picking up her beach stuff. "Yeppo" Duncan replied. "Right then lets be off" Lexie said smiling as she ushered the two children out the door.
