A/N: This came to me out of nowhere. It was sort of..interesting. here it is. Chapter 9.

Alex sighed as she rang the doorbell to her parent's house. She needed answers and she needed them fast. She hated thinking of the fact that her parents had lied to her for thirty years of her life, but she just had to know the truth.

Victoria Cabot opened the door surprised to see her daughter standing at the door. "Alexandra? What brings you here?" she asked curiously. She HATED, how her parents insisted on calling her Alexandra. She thought it sounded too long. "Thanks mom…nice to see you too." Alex said under her breath. Her mother heard her however and stepped to the side motioning for her to enter.

Alex walked through the familiar foyer and into the large living room. She was standing there for about five seconds before she felt herself squeezed into her mother's embrace. "It's so good to see you sweetheart. But what brings you here?" Victoria asked again.

"I wanted to talk to you…where's dad?"

"Oh, he is away at the moment. Should I call him?"

"No, no, that's alright…I just need to talk to you about something important."

Victoria nodded and sat down, patting the place on the sofa next to her for Alex to sit. "What is it you need to talk about?" she asked her daughter. Alex took a deep breath before turning to face her mother. "I need to talk to you about….about Addy." She said softly. Alex saw her mother stiffen as if she had been asked an interrogation question.

"Why are you asking about your sister?" Victoria started defensively. 'She's been dead for almost thirty years now." She concluded shakily. Alex saw as the elder blondes eyes began to dart around the room.

"Mom...what happened to her?'

"S-she died in a car accident, along with your grandmother when you two were six. Do you not remember what happened when your father and I came home?"

"Did she really die in a car accident? Because I heard that Grandma died from a heart attack." Alex said softly. God her mother HAD been lying to her. She shuddered to think what else her parent's were hiding from her.

Her mother took in a shaky breath before continuing. "Sweetheart why are you all of a sudden asking about your sister? She's dead." She asked. Alex pinched the bridge of her nose. "Things are happening Mom….Things that I'm not doing…you have to tell me the truth, because I know you and Dad haven't." she pressed. She had a hunch that her sister was out there somewhere, she just needed to know that it was true. She found it strangely suspicious that she wasn't able to find anything on Addison's death with Melinda. She should have been able to find SOMETHING, right?

Victoria sighed and took her daughter's hands. She knew she couldn't hide it any longer. She knew she had to tell. "Okay, Addison…never died, there was no car accident there was no death…" she said softly. Alex's eyes widened in alarm. So it WAS true, her parents had been lying. Now she just had to find out why.

"Mom…what did you…what happened?"

"We….She was just so hard to take care of! She was so rebellious and didn't listen and we had to do something. She wasn't acting like a Cabot."

"Acting like a…WE WERE SIX MOM. WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU EXPECT FROM A SIX YEAR OLD.."

"Alexandra you will NOT shout at me in this house." Victoria scolded. Alex sighed and began pacing.

"What did you do to her?" she asked again, only softer. "We put her into foster care…she needed a family that could tolerate her actions, or a family that didn't mind how she tarnished their name."

Alex couldn't believe what she was hearing. Her sister, her twin, her other half, was taken away and practically given to another family. All because her parents, THEIR parents didn't like how Addy was behaving. They were so caught up in family reputation, they didn't care how their decision was affecting both of their children.

"I can't believe you! She was my sister! God I…I don't even know what to say! Where is she?!" Alex almost screamed, scaring her mother.

"I…I don't know…I never found out who adopted her, IF she was even adopted. I don't know."

Alex screamed in frustrating fighting back the tears in her eyes as she grabbed her purse from the couch. "I cannot believe my own parents gave up a child because they didn't want her anymore. This, is unforgivable. I hate you." she said with her voice full of venom as she slammed the door.

Alex got in to her car and finally let her tears fall. Addy was doing this because of their parents. They had been the cause of all of this havoc and terror that was suddenly bestowed upon their lives.

She had been driving for about fifteen minutes when she felt her phone vibrate. She dug it out of her purse before pressing the answer button. "Hello?"

"Alex! Can you come by my office? It's urgent." Melinda said speedily into the phone.

"Um yeah I can, what's going on?"

"I can explain when you get here. No one is here, something's happened to the ADA, come quickly." And with that the M.E. hung up leaving Alex with no room for questioning.

Melinda spun in her chair as she heard the familiar clack of Alex's heels approaching her. "What is it that's so urgent? And what's happened to the ADA?" Alex asked as she took a seat in the chair next to Melinda. "I'm not sure yet, Olivia just called me and told me Casey collapsed in court. She hasn't heard anything yet. But as terrible as that is, I didn't call you to tell you about our fallen ADA." The M.E. says as she began typing quickly on her computer.

"Then what DID you call me for?" Alex asked raising an eyebrow. She wasn't sure if she should be afraid or excited at Melinda's eagerness. "After you left last week, I began thinking on how I could help you find your sister. And then it hit me. See I have a friend that I'm pretty sure could help you far more than I can." Melinda stated smiling.

Alex waited for a few moments when a video chat box appeared on Melinda's computer revealing two blondes that appeared to be sitting in an office. "Melinda! Oh my god it's been so long, when you called me I was so excited to hear from you!" the more flamboyant blonde squealed. The younger blonde next to her rolled her eyes. Melinda smiled and waved to the webcam "Hello to you too Penelope. Long time no see. Nice to see you again Agent Jareau." Melinda added addressing the blonde next to Penelope.

"Melinda, how many times do I have to tell you, call me JJ. Everyone else does." JJ corrected. "Right, sorry JJ. Anyhow, Penelope, JJ, this is Alex Cabot, Alex, Penelope Garcia and Jennifer Jareau. They work for the FBI."

Alex nodded and smiled, "Nice to meet the both of you." she said sincerely. "Nice to meet you too sugarplum! Gosh Jayje, looks like you've got some competition for blonde beauty of the year.." Garcia said with a hint of playful seduction. Ironically enough both Alex and JJ blushed the same deep red color causing the M.E and the technical analyst to burst into fits of laughter.

"But down to business, I hear that you need my magic fingers Melinda." Garcia said seriously. Melinda nodded turning to Alex who nodded continuing for Melinda, "Yes actually. Melinda was trying to help me find my sister who my parents claimed to be dead over thirty years ago. But as I found out to day…they just gave her up." Alex said sadly. "And now we think she's attacking people and framing me."

JJ gasped as Garcia sat with her mouth agape. "That's awful, Alex sweetie that's so terrible…I can't even imagine having to go through that." Garcia said sincerely. Alex smiled and wiped her eyes wiping a way the few tears that had fallen. "It's fine…really…but do you think you can find her?"

Melinda and JJ snickered as Garcia scowled a bit. "I see Melinda has told you absolutely NOTHING about the oracle of all knowing. What was her name?"

"Addison Emily Cabot."

And with that Garcia set to work. The other three listened as for all they could hear was Garcia's fingers flying across the keyboard as she mumbled to herself. "Alex sweetheart when were you born?" she asked after a moment. "September 17th 1972." Alex responded hesitantly.

The other three again sat in silence as Garcia continued to work her magic. It seemed like ages but she finally found something. "Addison Emily Cabot, twin sister to Alexandra Elizabeth Cabot, assuming that's you. Ah, eldest child by one minute, so technically first child to Victoria and Peter Cabot. So far am I right?"

Alex nodded completely amazed at the perky blonde's abilities. Melinda certainly did have all the right friends. "At the age of six it says she was put into foster care but all her papers for having ever existed some how disappeared. When she was seven she was 'adopted' by Sharon and Anton DuVall."

'Is there an address Penelope?'

"The only address it's giving me is to a condo in Long Island New York. Here it is." A window popped up on Melinda's computer and Alex quickly scribbled down the address. "Thank you so much Penelope. It was nice meeting you. You too JJ." The blonde thanked somewhat happily. "Nice meeting you too sugar. Hope you find your sister! And Melinda? Don't be a stranger." At this the M.E. laughed. "Thanks Penelope."

The two blondes in Quantico signed off on the video chat leaving Melinda and Alex in a heavy silence. "So what are you going to do?" Melinda asked after what seemed like forever. Alex shook her head. She honestly had no idea what she was going to do. She couldn't just go and knock on a murder's door and hope to find answers, right? "I really don't know…I guess I'm going to go and try to figure things out. Maybe even try to call Olivia." She said sadly.

Melinda bit her lip. She didn't want to tell Alex about the relationship everyone saw the detective was building with their current ADA. Judging by how quickly Olivia had gone to Casey's aid, there was obviously something brewing there, and Melinda felt that Alex just didn't need to hear about it. At least, not from her.
