Loveroffanfics- Jamie and Jeff are going to be okay. She loves her brother, she's just trying to understand why he lied to her. As for another part to this story. Ehh that's up for debate, currently -aside from this story- I'm working on a Buffy story that deals with Faith's family past. And it like this story has grown a life of it's own and became much large than I intended.
The Black Files was never meant to be a trilogy. I didn't even think that the first story would be longer than thirty chapters. At the moment -if you don't include the two side stories- the trilogy is 163 chapters long and I'm expecting at the very lest another 20 chapters.
But I do plan on leaving a few lose ends untied, like having Will and Alley get married in this story. I need something else incase I plan on doing a few side stories and maybe a sequel or two. But if -or when- I ever get to doing another major Black File story it will be after I finish my Buffy story.

"I'm so mad at you right now Jeffery," Jamie said unable to look at her twin. The two sat in Jeff's room, the room that once belonged to Morgan during her childhood. Jeff sat on his bed staring at his hands while Jamie sat in the window seat staring outside.
"Jamie I'm so sorry," Jeff whispered.
"Why didn't you tell me? I'm your sister. Your twin. Jeff I had to find out through a six year old boy who I've barely known for more that an hour! It wasn't right Jeff. Do Mom and Dad know? Who else knows, or was I the only one who was left out of the loop?" Jamie asked tears streaming down her face as she continued to look out of the window.
Jeff got off of the bed, walked over to the window seat and sat down next to his sister. Jamie did not turn to look at her brother. "I can't do this if you don't look at me," Jeff told her as he took his index finger and guided Jamie's face to look at him. Jamie meet her brother's eyes and saw that he too was crying. "I only told one person. And no it wasn't you. God you have no idea how much I wanted to, but I didn't want to burden you with that knowledge. I didn't want to have that type of knowledge. Jamie I went to bed one morning and woke up the next to realize I had murdered over fifty people."
"I couldn't handle that. I had to get away. So I ran away. I was a fourteen year old assassin I couldn't cope. So I tried to make it go away. I-I filled the tub -I didn't turn off the water and for that I'm glad- I pulled out the razor, and I... I did it quickly before I lost the courage."
"That wasn't courage Jeffery. That was cowardly, and it was selfish!" Jamie yelled.
"I know, I know that now. Anyway, the person in the room below me came to investigate why water was leaking into his room. I had passed out by the time he arrived. He called 911 and off I went to the hospital. They let me go after three weeks. I called Sydney got him to pretend to be my grandfather. I told him everything I remembered at the time, and I begged him not to tell anyone. I had to get him to come or else they wouldn't release me," Jeff continued
"It's been five years. How could you not tell me?" Jamie asked.
"Jamie I tried to kill myself over it. I was ashamed at what I had done. You at the time where the most important person in my life, you still are, granted Alley runs a close second. I just couldn't do it, I didn't want for you to know that your brother was a murderer, and I didn't want for Mom and Dad to know that their son was a murderer," Jeff said.
"Were you ever going to tell me?" Jamie questioned.
"No. I don't think so," Jeff replied honestly. "I've spent the past five years of my life trying to forget. I hoped that if no one knew it would all go away."
"Things like this don't go away Jeff."
"I know, but I hoped, I still hope. Jamie I'm..."
"My big brother," Jamie said placing a finger on Jeff's lips. "I'm still mad at you Jeff, I won't lie about that. But you're my brother and I love you. I don't view you as some vial creature. What you did Jeff, you did for me, so that I wouldn't have to. Look if you want we don't have to tell anyone. This can stay between Sydney, Keegan, Will, Alley, you, and me."
"No I have to tell Jarod and Morgan," Jeff said "They deserve to know who -what- their daughter is dating,"
"A good man," Jarod said entering the room.
"You know?" Jeff asked.
"Some of it not everything. I actually understood a bit of what Keegan was saying before Mike made him stop," Jarod replied. "It kinda scared me. Not what you did, but the fact I'm becoming so good a understanding gibberish," Jarod amended "I still find the story a bit fuzzy around the edges though. Care to sharpen them out?"
"I was a Centre assassin, they made me start when I was eight, my last assignment for them was two weeks before Jamie and I got out. One person every month for five years," Jeff said looking down at his hands.
"Have you killed anyone since you've been out?" Jarod asked.
"What? No, of course not," Jeff answered thrown off by Jarod's question.
"Good. Now I suggest you talk to Alley she's a bit upset," Jarod told Jeff.
"Wait, I just confessed to killing sixty people, and you're okay about it?" Jeff asked stunned.
"Yeah. Jeff, you did what you had to for you and Jamie to survive. Obviously you didn't want to do it, and you hate yourself for it. You show remorse for what you have done. You are not the only person in this house who the Centre used to kill people," Jarod said.
"No I'm just the only one who pulled the trigger," Jeff muttered.
"No you aren't. I've pulled the trigger, so has Sam. And Will well he..." Jarod trailed off not if Jamie or Jeff knew Will's secret.
"He let go," Jamie supplied
"So he did tell you?" Jarod said slightly surprised.
"He told me before he left this morning," Jamie answered.
"And he told me when I went upstairs," Jeff spoke.
"Good I was beginning to wonder if he would ever tell," Jarod said. "So Jeff, I once again strongly suggest you go and talk to Alley before she gets too angry that she tries to set you on fire."
"I will," Jeff replied.
"Good. Oh Jamie, Will told me to tell you he'd back in a bit he had to run a errand," Jarod said and left the room.

"You're back," Alex said when Will entered the manor. Will had left for a short while after talking to Jeff and then speaking with Alley. In the living room sat the group of Black Files, save Mike, and Maddie. They were with Keegan, Alley, Zane, and Gabe on the enclosed patio. Pete was with his parents, Sam, Julia and Lex. The adults were questioning the boy trying to figure out where Mr. Parker had disappeared to.
"Yup, I'm back," Will said tossing a small white box from hand to hand.
"What's that?" Jeremiah asked. Will handed the box to Jeremiah. Jeremiah peered in side the box and then nodded his head at Will. "I'll be back," Jeremiah said handing the box back to Will
"So what is it?" Aaron asked
"A box," Will replied. Aaron shot his brother a look. "It's a gift for Keegan," Will answered.
"You got him the necklace," Jake said, it was more of a statement that a question. Will nodded his head.
"Where is Keegan?" Will asked.
"Hanging out with Maddie, Alley, Jace and Jack," Greg answered.
"How is Alley?" Will asked.
"She's been acting a bit weird," Rachael said. "Care to tell us why?"
"No," Will answered as Jeremiah returned. With a manilla envelope.
"What's in there?" Andros asked raising and eyebrow. Jeremiah emptied the contents on to the living room table. Out tumbled three silver chains, attached to each was a pendant of the eye of Ra, and from each pendant hung a piece of lapis.
"The boy's necklaces," Tobias said. Each of the children had a similar necklace, the only thing that differed was the stone attached to each pendant. All of the Russell children's stones were lapis. From Mike, Maddie, Keegan, Terra, and Tobias' pendant hung a onyx stone. Marc, Cassie, and Debbie's stone was garnet. Jeremiah, Melissa, Amy, and Greg's wore amethysts. Even Jeff and Jamie wore the same necklace with a cats eye stone.
Jason, Jack, and Pete's necklaces had been taken from them when they had been abducted. The necklaces had the been sent to Bobby. Bobby in return had sent the necklaces to Jeremiah so he, and the rest of the Black Files, Will and Alley would be able to pick up some sort of physic vibe off of the necklaces.
"Oh guess what?" Greg said fingering the necklaces.
"What?" Will asked.
"Mysteriously, Bobby managed to get transferred to the Delaware State Prison. He got a new cell mate too. John Cody," Greg said.
"Maybe I'll pay a visit to good ol' Bob and his new friend," Will said his eyes flashing red briefly.
"No you won't," Jamie said entering the kitchen, her arms crossed over her chest. Jeff behind her.
"Jamie..."
"I've known you for a long time Will. I know you have a temper. You aren't going near Cody," Jamie said.
"Hey I hear Jake calling us to help him with Keegan's file," Marc said suddenly.
"Dude I'm sitting right next to you," Jake said confused, Rachael elbowed her brother in his side. "Oh um yeah let's go take a look at that file," Jake said getting up from the couch. The rest of the children followed, leaving Jamie, Jeff, and Will behind. On her way up the steps Alex paused, and turned to look at the three teens.
"I will find out what's going on," Alex stated.
"And I hope that you know enough to respect other people's privacy, Alexandra," Will replied firmly.
"I'll respect everyone's privacy. But if this concerns me..."
"It doesn't," Jeff replied not meeting the girl's eyes.
"Yeah Jeff it does. Alley's upset and she's my sister which means this concerns me. Look I just need to know, is everything going to be okay? 'Cause we don't need anymore drama." Alex said.
"Everything's is going to be okay. This is about Jeff, Jamie, Will and I," Alley told her sister, as Alley entered the room.
"That's all I need to know," Alex said and continued on her way upstairs. The four teens stood in a circle staring at one another.
"Is it, Alley? Is everything going to be okay?" Jeff asked Alley.
"You tell me. Is there anything else you're keeping from me?" Alley questioned.
"No. I swear," Jeff said.
"Anyone else have something they need to share?" Jamie asked.
"No but I do have a question. Why won't you let me go pay a visit to Cody?" Will asked.
"To be honest William, I don't trust you. I think that you will try to hurt him, and between the four of us we have enough blood on our hands," Jamie stated.
"You mean between Will and I," Jeff said softly.
"No. I mean between the four of us. What you and Will did was because of Alley and I. Not to mention that you two are forgetting that Alley and I did perform sims. Sims that we knew were being used to kill people," Jamie told her brother.
"Where do we go from here?" Will asked.
"First big brother you need to stop quoting the Buffy musical. Secondly did you get Key's gift?" Alley asked. Will nodded towards the white box resting on the table next to Jason, Jack, and Pete's necklaces.
"And then?" Jeff asked.
"We find Parker. Get Adam back home, and reunite the family. Hopefully all before Chris, and Deb's wedding," Will said.
"You make it sound so easy," Jeff grinned.
"It is," Will replied.
"Speaking of Chris and Deb's wedding, have you been fitted for your tux yet?" Jamie asked Will.
"No not yet. I've had other pressing matters at hand," Will answered.
"Well the boys have been found which means you need to go and get fitted. You are Chris's best man," Jaime told him.
"God we aren't even engaged and you sound like a nagging wife," Will said scooping up the white box, the other three necklaces, and leaving the room before Jamie could hit him.
Up Next: Keegan learns more about his family, and Mike and Maddie's feeling about their new brother become clear as an argument between Mike and his father breaks out.
