Chapter Five

It was a normal Saturday for the Blue's (Lori and Indie have officially dropped the name Howard, because Lori saw some lawyers for a separation) until the FBI showed up.

Indie hopped up to the cherry wood door and hummed along to whatever video was on VH1 that morning. Ashlyn watches Jump Start every Saturday, then the top 20 countdown. She has a bit of an obsession. The video playing was Paparazzi by Lady Gaga.

"I'm your biggest fan I'll follow you until you love me!" Indie started to sing, but when she saw Janis Hawk and Demetri Noh at the door, she stopped abruptly. They had their guns, and their badges.

"MOMMY!" She screamed and ran into Lori's open arms. Lori's green eyes looked frightened.

"I'm agent Janis Hawk, and this is my partner Demetri Noh. We're here to question an Ashlyn Blue about what she posted on Mosaic." Janis stated, putting the gun down and walking into the house. "We're from the Los Angeles section." She looked around the room, her eyes resting on Ashlyn, who was so into the video, which was now If You Only Knew by Shinedown.

"Ashlyn. The FBI is here." Lori said, playfully hitting Ashlyn on the shoulder. Ashlyn's honey blond whipped in her face and she glared at Janis with black eyes that seem to go right through you.

"Okay, freaky chick." Demetri said. Ashlyn smiled, showing off her pearly white totally straight teeth.

"Thank you." Demetri and Janis were taken aback by Ashlyn's wanting to be creepy.

"I was a bit of a creep when I was in school, but not like this." Janis whispered.

"I am one of a kind, aren't I?" Ashlyn stated, pulling her bright green headband with the bow that you could see for a mile on it, off the coffee table into her sleek hair. She was proud she freaked people out. Her almost black eyes mixed with her glare and freakishly perfect teeth scared most people.

"Okay, Ashlyn we saw your post on Mosaic. We have a few questions for you. Janis, go talk to..." Demetri trailed off. "What's your name?" He asked Lori and Indie.

"I'm India, but everybody calls me Indie! And this is my mommy Lauren." Lori smiled at her young, naïve daughter.

"India Caylie Blue! My name is Lori, not Lauren." Lori gave Demetri a look. "Kids. They just don't know what's going on." She said, and Indie made a pout.

"I do too mommy!" She stated, giving her mom a look.

"Janis, go talk to Lori and Indie, please. I'll question Ashlyn." Ashlyn smiled.

"I always wanted to be questioned by the FBI!" She squealed. Demetri laughed.

"Kid, you're funny."

"I'm serious. And I go by Ashlyn."

"Lloyd. We need to talk." Simon hissed into his black BlackBerry Storm, calling Lloyd, the man who also caused the blackout.

"Simon I can't talk now. I'm with Dylan." Simon was still angered about Lloyd's lame excuse. "Didn't you see Ashley or Lynn and Lauren or Lanie or whatever her name is?" Lloyd whispered. He was with Dylan at the hospital, and he was waiting for the nurse--Olivia Benford--to tell him what was up with his autistic son, Dylan.

Simon was horrified by Lloyd's botching of their names. "It's Ashlyn and Lori. Lori has another daughter. Her name is India." Lloyd paused and tried to sense what was in Simon's voice. Could it be-- love? Simon has seen Ashlyn all of two times and he already loves her. I guess that's what you feel with your child.

"Ashlyn still looks so much like me... and she's got a twisted mind too." Simon smiled to himself. "She got that from me." He said proudly. She also inherited his honey blonde hair; almost black eyes and perfect teeth.

"Yes, I know your twisted mind all too well, Simon. Olivia's back, I gotta go!" He quickly hung up the phone, and Simon cursed.

"Hey, Cassie, you're getting an IM from that girl, Kristi." Cheyenne Lyons stated. Cassie took the laptop and set it down on her lap. Her laptop was adorable: it was bright yellow and neon pink, and she loves it!

Kristi_Michaelson123: Hey Cassie! How r u?

Cassie couldn't help but roll her eyes. Kristi couldn't even come up with a good username. Her icon was her school picture! Cassie's user was TotalFreakaChicaAtArea51 and her icon was the picture of OneRepublic's single, Secrets, which was a really cool lock thingy with like smoke coming out. The one before that was a picture of Ashlyn and her.

TotalFreakaChicaAtArea51: I'm good. U?

Kristi_Michaelson123: Fine. My sister Alice is in critical condition though. I'm really happy that you're okay.

Kristi realized that somehow Alice is going to die, and they are going to adopt this baby girl, who she has picked the name for. She is going to make the baby's name Haylen.

TotalFreakaChicaAtArea51: I hope Alice lives! G2G, the doctors here 2 take some tests on me... :( Bye Kristi!

Cassie logged off, but Kristi stayed on just a bit longer to change her user to VanHaylenForever8.

"Okay, what is your full name?" Demetri Noh asked Ashlyn.

"Ashlyn Janie Blue. My last name was almost Howard, but I didn't want to take my mom's separated husband's last name." Demetri leaned his head forward a bit.

"Separated?" Ashlyn nodded.

"Daniel Howard slapped me across the face. I guess he slapped me because I called him Satan... but he did it right in front of my mom, so he was bound to get kicked out anyway." Demetri shook his head and nodded.

"So you say you didn't black out." Ashlyn nodded and her headband fell out of place. She pushed it back up, but ended up just taking it off.

"Agent Noh, I'm going to say this again: I didn't blackout. I stayed conscious the whole time. I was freaked out." Demetri flipped his little notebook closed, and he stood up.

"Ashlyn Janie Blue, I am going to have to take you to L.A. for further questioning." He walked out of the living room leaving Ashlyn there, her mouth agape. She was going to L.A., but not with some random chick named Haylen.

She was going to get a police record. Ashlyn smiled at the thought.

As Simon said, Ashlyn inherited his twisted mind.
