Really sorry I haven't been up dating but summer holidays and all so really sorry –x-

Back at Jack's, they were both sitting on the sofa looking through the chest.

'Jackie, how am I actually going to find her?' Karen asked

'Well….we could check her up in the yellow pages…I have one in the bedroom' Jack said then got up and walked into the bedroom. He came back out a few minutes later with the yellow pages

'Ok so what's the name?' Jack asked

'Lois Whitley'

'Ok Whitley' Jack said flicking through, minutes later he found a few Whitley's 'ok here you go' Jack and Karen looked through the list

'Jack there's no L' Karen said sounding disappointed

'Sorry Kare' he said

'It's not your fault, it was along shot'

'You know you could hire a private detective' Jack suggested

'A private detective' Karen said

'Yea they are meant to be really good'

'Well I suppose it wouldn't hurt'

'I'll find you one' Jack said looking through the yellow pages.

The next day

Jack had arranged a meeting with a private detective, he and Karen had gone to his office and they were waiting in the waiting room.

'You ok?' Jack asked

'Yea just a bit nervous' Karen replied just as a man in a black suit came out

'Ms Walker' he called out, Karen and Jack got up

'Yes' Karen said

'Would you like to come in' the man said walking into an office room followed by Jack and Karen

'Hello take a seat' he said and sat in the chair behind his office, Jack and Karen sat in front of his office 'so how can I help?'

'Well I'm trying to find my mum again' Karen answered

'Ok then can I ask you a few questions' he said, Karen nodded yes

'Ok what is her name?'

'Lois Whitley'

'How old is she?

'Um in her fifty's'

'Ok and when was the last time your saw her?'

'Nearly twenty years ago'

'What was the last address she was living at since you lost contact?'

'45 mesne way Manhattan new York'

'Ok well one more thing do you have a picture of her?'

'Yes but it was taken about twenty years ago'

'That will be fine' he said taken the picture from Karen 'right Mrs Walker if you leave your details with us on how to get in contact with you so if we find anything then we will contact you, but I must warn you now even though we are private detectives I still cant guarantee we will find her'

'What are the chances?' Jack asked

'We usually find 1 in 5 so about 60 chance'

'Ok well thank you' Karen said getting up, followed by Jack and the man

'Hope to see you again Mrs Walker' the man said shaking her hand and Jack's as they left.
