It was turning daylight by the time Annie and Natalie had returned to the apartment. Noticing that it was to quiet, they realized that john must had left and gone somewhere. They finally found a note on the table:

Gone to the rooftop. Be back soon

John

"I found something." Annie announced, showing the piece of paper to Natalie. She glanced at the paper.

"Okay, well why don't I get some breakfast started I guess. He'll be running down here once he smells bacon." She smiled.

Annie laughed. "That's John. Once he smells food you have about three seconds to get out of his way or you'll be seeing the ground." The girls laughed together.

"That is so true. Can you get those files of his off the table for me? He just leaves things where he pleases, messes up the apartment." Annie walked over to the counter.

"Sure" She started picking up the files and putting them into a neat stack. "Where do you want me to put them?"

"Just sit them over there in his chair; he'll get to them soon. Thanks sweetheart." Annie picked them up.

"No problem." As she finished her sentence, she slipped on her sock, falling backwards and watched the papers float back down. She busted into laughter.

"Are you okay?" Natalie rushed over to her. Annie was still laughing.

"Yes, I'm fine. I'm just a klutz." Her face was crimson red. "Go back to what you were doing; I'm sure I can sort these somehow." She started picking up papers and trying to match the file. She noticed one with her name on it. "This is probably about what just happened with dad." She thought. As she looked more into the paper she noticed Rex Balsom's name. Natalie's brother. She read the whole paper to herself.

"Oh my god!" She yelled. Natalie turned over to her.

"What is it?"

"Is it true? Is Rex my uncle?" She asked. Determination all over her face. Natalie didn't know what to say. She stammered and waved her arms around.

"Well see….uh…..see…..um." Annie folded the paper in her hands and ran out the door.

"Annie wait!" Natalie said trying to get her, but she wouldn't listen. She ran all the way up the stairs and to the rooftop. There she found John and Landon and a deep conversation. Not caring that she was interrupting, she smack the paper on John's chest.

"Why didn't you tell me?"
