A/N Hey…been that long huh? Ummm, don't kill me? By the way, I just wanted to fix something, Alice is Mrs.Wolfe. I think its awkward calling her "Alice" all the time (plus I'm too lazy to write it out all the time) Sorry for people who keep on being emailed that i've updated, I found out that i wasn't being too clear in this chapter and had to keep on editing...cya

There was silence at the table as they ate. Gabriel eyed the man in front of him for a while. Assuming the worst in disguise, he quietly chewed and plotted.

"Jake, why don't you tell Gabriel what you do at work?" Alice posed, desperate to break the silence.

Now Jake had Gabriel's full attention, he stared, waiting.

"Of course," he finally said, he had frozen for a second, as though pondering. "I work for the government.

Gabriel lifted an eyebrow.

"What kind of work?"

Jake now looked at Gabriel squarely in the face.

Bracing himself, Gabriel waiting for the attack. But none came. Instead, Jake smiled.

"Those are private matters that are not to be mentioned outside of work."

"I'm sure they are." Gabriel muttered under his breath.

Jake left soon after claiming that something important had come up and he was needed at work.

Gabriel's fists clenched as he saw his mother lightly kiss the older man as he continued to trod out the door.

Gabriel had a hard time going to sleep that night. He couldn't allow himself a moment's peace knowing something strange was definitely going on. He got out of bed and decided that he could use some fresh air.

As he neared the kitchen, he found out that he was going to have some company.

"Hello Gabriel, why are you still up?"

Gabriel glanced at his mother, sitting at the table with Jake beside her. She gestured towards a chair. He sat.

"And you're-" he turned his head towards Jake. "still here."

Jake smiled. "I live here."

This did not strike Gabriel nicely.

"Me and Alice here were thinking, to celebrate you coming back. We could go or do something special this holiday."

"Actually, I'm busy. Me and a couple of friends are going somewhere. I have to leave by tomorrow."

"What? So soon?" Alice cut in.

"No that's quite all right dear. I think we could use this time to figure out our situation at hand." He turned to Gabriel. "You go have, 'fun'"

Suddenly, he felt it. Someone was prowling in his mind. The pain was less this time, since his walls were more built, but he still didn't like it. He clenched his fist, fighting to keep it out.

Jake was watching him. "Gabriel, is something wrong?"

It stopped. Gabriel looked at Jake with the coldest look he could muster. "No." He got up. "I should pack." He left.

As he lay in bed, he decided to do some investigating. Getting up, he went out the door, and heard Alice and Jake still talking.

Coasts clear then.

He spotted Jake's room and stepped inside. Looking around it seemed pretty normal. But never judge by looks. He started opening drawers and looking through things.

Nothing damn it. There has to be something!

He spotted it then. A letter, set plainly by his bed side.

Why didn't I notice that before…

He immediately started reading:

Don't worry, everything is fine. Alice's son is here. You know the one from her last marriage. He doesn't seem to enjoy my presence, sort of gives me the cold shoulder, though I don't blame him. His name is Gabriel but that's all the information I can give you. My secret is safe at the moment, if Gabriel finds out who knows what he'll do. For updates on Government work, everything is according to plan. But I really do hate to involve "family" with my work.

The letter was unfinished, but it gave him the right suspicions. He carefully put back the letter in its rightful place. He poked around a bit more, but found nothing else.

He left the room and walked back towards his own. As he was about to enter, he noticed that there was an extra door. He counted off each of the doors and what they had inside, but was left mystified by the last one. .

He knew it couldn't be the basement or his mother's room, so he tried the handle. It was locked.

Maybe if I picked the lock…

"Gabriel? Is something wrong?" Alice appeared behind him.

Gabriel hesitated. "Nothing, just wondering what was behind this door?"

"Just storage and things. You know, junk." She added in a whisper to herself "just junk…"

"Okay, then I guess I should get to sleep, big day tomorrow."

"Yes, you should."

"Good night mother."

"Good night son"

Alice looked around for the last time. No one in sight.

Gabriel can't find out. He can never.

She took out a key from her pocket and stuck it into the lock of the door Gabriel was asking about. She turned the key until she heard it click.

Slowly opening the door, Alice called out.

No one answered.

Suddenly, she gasped.

She ran down the stairs as tears streamed down her face. Jake saw her and took her in his arms.

"Alice what's wrong?"

"Jake! He's…he's gone!" she stuttered as she sobbed into his chest.

The man had a hard look on his face. "Don't worry, we'll find him."

A/N Tell me if you like it! I've finally got everything figured out and will update again soon enough. Now. Pleaaaaaaaase REVIEW!
