I've been in Holland for 4 days which is why I haven't updated, but I will do now. So on with the chapter. Shouldn't take long to get back to the stargate universe, probably one more chapter.


Tracking her down

"Seth, look, I know that you're stressed right now, but there's nothing you can do, you don't even know this person's name, or where they are right now"
"Ryan, I know you want to be Mr. Broody but that doesn't mean you have to go boring on me man. I told you that we were on a brothers in arms quest right?"
"Not in so many words"
"Well we are, so suck it up dude and tell me how I can find this person"
"Seth I think you should just give up, we don't know if there was a boy or a girl, or how old they would be now"
"Ryan we Cohens never give up!"
'Good job I'm not a Cohen then' Ryan thought to himself, 'maybe I can keep Seth grounded'
When they arrived back home they went straight to the pool house, apparently they had more privacy in a room with walls made of glass down one side.
Go figure.
"Ryan, I've been thinking,"
'Here it comes' Ryan thought, 'What is he going to make me do?'
"Maybe we...well you,couldcheck for lists of military personnel online who fit the profile, and I could try down in the library"
"Seth; if this will shut you up then I will gladly devote one day to searching for someone we will NEVER find"


And so the boys went their separate ways.
Ryan was surprised, he was searching Air Force sites and immediately came across 3 Jacob Carters. Only one had a wife called Libby though, when he looked further Ryan saw that the man had an older son and a daughter…. this could be it.

'Now what do I do?' Ryan thought, 'Do I tell Seth or not?'


Seth meanwhile was having a worse time of it. The records were arranged by state and he had no idea whichstate Jacob Carter was from. And as far as he was concerned the woman at the desk was being purposefully obtuse.

"Look! I just want to know if there is any way to find one particular person if I don't know what state they are from!"
"I'm sorry sir but why do you need to know, there may be other methods to searching"
"Never mind! I've had enough!"
And with that Seth stormed out of the library.


While he was still pondering Ryan heard the door slam, it had to be Seth, no one else was that stressed this early in the morning. On the good side it meant it wasn't Sandy or Kirsten and he wasn't going to get busted for skipping school, but on the other hand seth was in a bad mood, and that was never pretty.
"I take it it didn't go well?" He called to the green and black blur that was Seth running up to his room. Ryan silently followed him up.

Seth was laying on his bed, staring at the ceiling, he looked awful.
"Ryan, you might be right, I don't think we will ever find this man, or his child, who isn't really his"
"Well maybe I have a surprise for you, I found a Jacob Carter and he had an older son and younger daughter, plus his wife was called Libby" 'Why did I just tell him that?'

Seth rose off the bed, he looked like christmakkah had come early,
"Ryan, there may well be something to this whole divided we conquer thing."
"I think it is divided we fall, united we stand Seth"
"Well we had better watch our step then hadn't we. So, where are they? How old is she?" He was getting really worked up.

"Seth breathe, and she is an adult, she is in the Air Force herself and is not going to want us to screw up her life. If you go looking for her, you have to be absolutely sure that you are prepared for the consequences"

"Ryan, I am ready, lets meet some new family members. How do we get in touch?"
