We were all beside our selves dealing with the grief and that Charlie was gone. He had been our saving grace, our protector, our confident and our father. We had a huge fight over where to have Charlie rest. Bella finally decided to have him cremated and keep the ashes with us. We didn't know where we were going to end up and we all wanted him with us. It didn't seem right putting him to rest and then not being able to visit him. We decided not to have a service for him as it was just us four girls. The weird thing was that flower arrangements and weird food arrived daily at his apartment. There were never names on the cards just that he was going to be missed and they would be keeping and eye on his girls. What the hell was that all about? We were of age and could take care of ourselves but it did make me wonder just what the fuck did Charlie do?

Some women came by one day saying she had been Charlie's receptionist. She gave us Charlie's lawyer's number and to contact him immediately. The weird thing is she came into our lives and left just as fast. With my lawyer degree I was elected to set the meeting up. I was glad that my sisters trusted me as well as I trusted them. The thing that I found strange was Charlie's lawyer was an ambulance chaser. I thought Charlie would have better sense to hire someone like that. I set up the appointment for the next day as the sooner we heard the news the sooner we could start dealing with our grief. We all piled into one car and I drove as I knew where the building was. I was not shocked to see it in a somewhat shitty neighborhood and in an even shittier building. We went up the small staircase and the scent of sweat and smoke came into our nostrils. All I wanted was to make sure my sisters were ok and we could get the fuck out of here.

A women with black hair and an over matched out fit was sitting at the deck. I knew it was the receptionist and she waved us in as he was expecting us. The man at the desk was round and balding. Alice held back her giggles as she noticed his horrid comb over. Nothing and I do mean not a damn thing would be able to cover that Grand Canyon of a spot.

"Miss Swan, Miss Hale, Miss Brandon and Miss Mallory please take your seats. This won't take long I promise."

We could see the sweat stains on his shirt. He rolled his sleeves up as he tried to gather the papers. Just what did Charlie see in this dweeb? Knowing Charlie the way we all did we were not expecting this at all.

"Miss Swan, your father left you as executive of his estate but left everything he had to you girls." He put the paper down and pushed a pen towards Bella. She signed hesitantly as she knew there had to be more to this.

"Excuse me sir but what about probate?" I asked him about that because I was curios to see what he would say. I loved to show my lawyer bitch and extend my claws.

"Charlie assured there would be no problems. There will be no probate and that is all there is." He handed a packet over to Bella. He put his hands in his lap as if he waited for us to leave. I wanted to ask why this was so simple because I knew there had to be more to this. Just another weird thing to be put on the list of Charlie's life that we were clueless about.

There was a huge black cloud looming over us and I hoped it would lead to a silver lining. All I knew is Bella was going to need us more than ever now. We all walked out and went back to Charlie's apartment. I took the huge packet from Bella and opened it. It was the normal will but something caught my eye on the floor. Two DVDs were laying there. They must have fallen out when I opened the packet up. I asked if they belonged to anyone and Bella shrugged her shoulders and pointed to the DVD player. I put the first one in and Charlie came on the screen with a smile. It was the same smile that Bella had. I pointed out that it had been filmed here because the same stuffed fish was in the background.

"Girls, my girls. I never meant to leave you like this. Obviously something went wrong to bring me to the end of my road. I don't want any of you girls to be sad for me. I led a great life and my life was complete when all four of you came into it. I am sure you are wondering about a lot of things but I promise questions will be answered in time. I love you each and every one of you girls. I am proud of you and always remember I am there with you. Please don't be afraid of what might find you. " With that the DVD went to static.

I noticed Bella was sobbing but quickly wiped her tears away and got the other DVD out. I noticed she was going to put it in the DVD but realized it had some computer name on it. I took it from her and put my laptop. My eyes got big as things came fast on the screen.

"Oh my god! You all have to see this!" I was screaming as the girls piled around me.

On the screen in front of us was bank accounts from all over the world, investments from major known companies, properties, cars, airplanes and it went on from there. Alice closed her mouth so hard that I heard her teeth clatter in her mouth. Charlie left us with millions but where the hell did this all come from? Bella could not deal with it. She ejected the CD and DVD and put them in a box in the closet. We could all tell that Bella did not know what to think of her father and his secret life. Hell we didn't know what to think of our father's secret life either.

Bella was beyond distraught for a long time but the sister rallied around her like we should. I told her no matter what we would find out what happened to our father. Bella wanted it left along but I could tell she had a battle going on in her mind as to what to do about this all.

"What the hell are we going to do with Charlie not here?" Bella flopped into his chair.

"Bella we will all get through this. Charlie would have wanted us to move on with our lives you know that as well as I do." Alice went to hug her just as we heard a knock on the door.

I answered it and there stood an Amazon of a woman. She was tall, blond and beyond beautiful. She was dressed in black and slowly moved into the room. She looked around as trying to figure out her surroundings but eventually sat down in an empty chair. She had a huge file in her well manicured hands. I also noticed the expensive clothes, jewels and perfume she wore. Alice with her knowledge always made sure we knew the difference between Gucci and Prada.

"Bella you look just like your father's pictures. I am assuming you are Rosalie, Alice and Lauren?"

We all looked at each other and wondered just what the hell was this girl doing here. The silence was deafening till she turned to Bella.

"I knew Charlie and was told to bring this to you if something ever happened to him." She handed the file over to Bella and slumped in her chair.

"I don't know who the hell you are and what you want but you better explain yourself now. We are grieving and I don't know how much more fucking news I can deal with." I noticed Bella was getting upset as this was all news to her as well to the rest of us. I was getting pissed as the minutes passed by. Lauren and Alice sat there quiet and afraid to make a move.

"You might as well explain this to all of us. We never knew Charlie led a secret life." Alice got up to pour herself a cup of coffee and then poured everyone else one.

"All you know is your father working for insurance companies, cheating spouses and other cases like that but it was far bigger than that. He took those cases as a ruse for the bigger ones he worked so diligently on. Look in the file all the information is there for you." This girl pushed the file closer to her. We all nodded yes when she looked at us for assurance.

Bella slowly opened the file and we could all see names, dates, and numbers. There were keys to safety deposit boxes all over the world, plane ticket stubs from trips he took, addresses and the list went on from there. Bella took her time going through it all slowly. We could all tell that things were making sense in her head.

"All the trips he took I thought were for relaxation. I can see now that was not the case but why didn't he tell me? Why the hell didn't he tell us!?" Tears were forming in her eyes. It was a familiar site for all of us. We looked back at the blond haired women and she was gone. I don't know how she left but she was gone. This was getting weird and weirder by the day.

I could see Bella slumped back into her chair and was silently thinking to herself. We all were thinking that it made sense to all of us now. Charlie never wanted us to visit the office when we were here to see him. He always took us to a remote location saying it was nice to spend time with us without all the commotion of Los Angeles. When he sent us packages they were from remote places and letters always had foreign stamps on them. We never questioned anything as Charlie said he was enjoying his retirement traveling and taking the small jobs to keep him going.

"Bella you do realize that whoever killed our father is out there. I think we should at least think about finding out what happened to him. "She looked at me and nodded her head no. Bella got up and went to the bedroom. I looked at Alice and Lauren and I knew that silently they sided with me. I just hoped that Bella would see our side of it eventually.

We spent the next few weeks cleaning out the apartment of all the shit Charlie had gathered through the years. He kept everyone of our postcards, our school papers, articles Bella had written for the school newspaper. Charlie knew it would mean something to use one day and put it all in albums for us. Alice made sure they were put on the shelves with the rest of the mementos of us girls. Bella would pick up the file only to put it down again. I knew that one side was going to win out but it was just a matter of when it did. We did know one thing we were family and family stuck together.
