Chapter number 26. Your special guardian angle.
"So basically some psycho's leading us on a never ending mind game" Lara concluded after Peter explained the map Greg had found.
"Well no, I mean look at what we found last time we followed this person's instructions".
"Peter, your a detective do the maths, people don't just play mind games to tell us about crime, they come into the station and make an allegation".
"Yeah, but we don't know the circumstances of whoever is sending these to us, do we?"
"No, but that doesn't mean that it's not a hoax, how do we know that this isn't a distraction from something else that going on?"
"We don't, Lara could we please just go to this place before we start making presumptions?"
"Alright" she gave in, still not sounding to happy, "but your driving this time".
"Fine".

"Did you do as I asked?" a man's voice asked in the darkness of a cellar.
"Of course, they'll know all the secrets in good time, and then, the time will be right and you and I can be looked up too again" the other voice , a woman's voice, explained, sounding excited.
"Yes, just like the good old times before I was wrongly accused" the man's voice added, "and she'll be mine again, just like she was supposed to be, before he got involved...".

"Another shed what a surprise" Lara commented sarcastically as Peter pulled up in front of the small wooden box-like shed in the middle of nowhere.
"Well they certainly have a theme going on" Peter grumbled as he got out.
"Yeah, lets hope that this time it's the last destination".
"Yeah, that would be good" Peter said before opening the door and stepping in with Lara right behind him.
"So this was Loyd's quest then was it? Nothing" Lara sighed as she looked around the bare shed.
"I guess so, maybe he wasn't the mysterious guy we thought he was".
"A whole town looked up too him" Lara continued, shanking her head, "and all his quest lead to was a dead end".
"Yeah, pretty tragic if you ask me".

"Sweetheart" Martha called out through the halls of the Macklin's mansion in Sydney, "Dylan?" she continued as she reached the doorway of Dylan's room to see him sitting on his bed looking dully at the floor, "Dylan sweety you want to come down to the park with Uncle Boyd and Aunty Rose?"
Dylan shock his head.
"Come on you can't just sit here forever" she encouraged him, moving towards him and sitting down next to him. "You know what?"
"What?"
"Aunty Serena's probably sitting up on a cloud right now, just waiting to see you beat your Uncle Boyd in a game of soccer".
"Really?"
"Yeah, of course she is" Martha told him running her fingers through his hair.
"Like a guardian angle?"
"Yes, just like a guardian angle, a very special guardian angel and she's always going to look over you, always" she whispered. "So how about you show her how good you are hey?"
Dylan nodded, seeming a bit happier now, "Ok".

Peter sat at his desk, his shift was finishing soon and he was itching to get home, then the words 'you've got mail' popped up on the screen.
The message contained only one line, 'Try again detective, you might have more luck this time', reading those words Peter instantly thought of the empty shed he and Lara had been to that day, so he grabbed his keys and went to leave.
"Peter, we need you in here now" Greg called out from one of the interview rooms.
"Can it wait?"
"No, it can't, but I promise you your definitely going to like this" Greg told him.
Peter gave in and walked into the room, his eyes came across a familiar face, "Well, well, well, Matt Wilson, nice of you to join us".
I'll continue when I've got 2 reviews.
