Hi everyone! Sorry for the really long update! It's just I've been very busy with lots of things like preperation for testing, a festival performance for band, a race coming this weekend for a good cause, and so many other things! In this chapter, Katherine finds about a certain criminal who might be someone she's been looking for a long time. This chapter was inspired by the scene in Tangled when Maximus sees Flynn's wanted poster before he literally rips it to shreds. Hope you like this chapter!

Disclaimer: I don't own "Tangled", just the OC's.

Lost Memories

Chapter 9

Still in flashback, 11 years later:

What an exhausting day! Katherine thought as she left the restaurant she worked at. She was a waitress at the restaurant, but after today, she wasn't sure if she was going to stay a waitress or not.

Today, she had to deal with a lot of rude people whether they were people in bad moods, drunks, snobbish rich people, some know-it-alls, and many others. She wasn't even sure if she should quit or not after today.

Sure, it was very hard being a waitress according to her, but it was a good paying job and she might've got at least twenty-five gold coins out of that day. Also, she didn't know where she should go for her next job. Her thoughts were then interrupted when she say something on a wooden post in town.

On that wooden post was where people most often wanted to hang signs and the signs included things like: bakery sales, royal announcements, announcements about new taxes, and, like the sign Katherine just saw, wanted posters.

Katherine looked at the poster. She didn't know why, but she was interested in looking at wanted posters to see who the most wanted this week. She then ripped the poster off the post and examined it.

On the poster, it was picture of a handsome young man. On it, it showed he had dark wavy hair, long bangs, a smart look, a goatee, and a nose that looked like a squashed piece of fruit. Katherine couldn't help but laugh at the nose because it was very funny how someone put the criminal's nose like that. She then noticed something odd about the poster.

She noticed her index finger was now over the crushed fruit nose and the nose looked different. She knew only one person had that nose like the one it looked like now: Lord Herbert.

Katherine frowned at the thought of that man. He betrayed her sister and she hated him for that after finding out ten years ago. Katherine then paused for a second. She knew there was someone else who had Lord Herbert's nose: Eugene. Katherine then looked at her locket hanging around her neck and opened it.

On one side of the locket, there was a picture of her, Miranda and baby Eugene, and on the other side was a picture of Miranda and Eugene when he was five years old. She then compared the picture of five year old Eugene to the picture of the criminal. They looked almost exactly alike except the criminal looked much older than Eugene in the picture in her locket.

Katherine was curious if the criminal on the poster was her nephew, Eugene Fitzherbert. She then looked at the bottom of the poster where it would have the criminal's name, but instead of "Eugene Fitzherbert" like Katherine thought it would be, it said "Flynn Rider" instead. She didn't know if she should be upset or happy that the criminal was her nephew.

She was then curious what Flynn Rider did to end up being "most wanted" this week. Katherine then looked underneath Flynn Rider's name and saw it said "Thief" for the type of criminal he was. Katherine didn't know if this was Eugene or not because she knew sometimes criminals made up names so they could go by their birth names and not get caught.

At first Katherine thought it wasn't Eugene because she knew Eugene was a good boy and was not a thief. However, for a minute or two, Katherine figured this criminal might be the nephew she's been looking for since ten years ago when Miranda had passed away.

She didn't know which was right, but she would figure it out someday. She looked at the poster and didn't know what she should do with it.

She then decided to keep it until she figured this mystery out. She then put the poster in her pocket and went home where she made some tea to ease her troubled mind not only from the day at work, but also from the poster she just found.

XXXXX

The next week, she left the restaurant immediately to check the same post she saw last week. On the same post was the same poster, but this time, it had a different nose: a Pinocchio nose. Katherine couldn't help but laugh at that nose, but she used her finger again and reminded herself that the criminal on the poster was probably her nephew. She was still unsure if he was or not, but she wanted to find out.

The week after that, there was another poster with a different nose and it was the same for the next week and the next week. Then about a month later, she saw more than one poster. She continued seeing more and more posters week after week after week.

She was curious how one criminal got to be this wanted here. She knew that posters of criminals were most often up for a week or two and they would get caught, but this criminal was been wanted for months and months. She was also curious if this criminal was a magician and disappeared before he could get caught, but she knew that thought was practically impossible.

Still, she was curious and didn't know what she should do or think. She knew this criminal was probably her nephew with a different alias and a bad record, but she wasn't too sure. She knew that she could never be too sure about anything because things are never what they seem and it could change faster than she could even blink.

Still, she knew there was a possibility of this criminal she now saw posters of everywhere was probably her nephew, but wasn't too sure. She hoped to find out the truth sometime in the future.

I hope you liked this chapter. Sorry it was short again, but I thought it would be interesting how Katherine would react if she saw wanted poster of Flynn Rider. I'm planning on getting the last flashback written so we can go back to the present and Katherine can tell Eugene the truth about them. Now for some reply reviews:

Wheels4theOneTrueGod: Thanks for saying that! It made me feel better about the chapter!

BroadwayFanGirl91: Thanks! Also, there's definitely more to come!

Also, I'm starting a new story to do along with this and it will be posted soon when I get the prologue finished. I'll try and post a summary in my profile when I have the chance and it will be posted also around this or next week along with probably another chapter. Just one more flashback to go guys and we'll be back to the present!

Also, I'm thinking about starting another story about the lives of Lord Herbert and Miranda from when they first met to after Miranda's death. So, if you want me to write it or have any suggestions on it, say it in reviews! Anyways, Adios for now!
