CPOV

"Ana Grey" I said into the hands free as we sped through the city streets. "Theo, send out an alert. Code one."

"Code one, Dad. What the fuck is going on" Theo asked me, from the passenger seat as he sent the alert out on his phone. Code one would only mean one thing, a Princess was in trouble.

Luca and Matteo were sat in the back of the car, both with equally worried looks on their faces.

"This" I said handing Theo the note.

"Shit, Dad put your foot down" he told me as he handed the note to his brothers. My foot was already to the floor and only an act of god would get us through town quicker.

"Why the fuck is this call not connecting" I said angrily, repeating Ana's name which thankfully went through this time.

"Hey, are you on your way."

"Yes. Ana I want you to stay in the kitchen, away from the store front. Where's Lucy."

"She's in the office with Milo, nodding off as I gave her some stronger painkillers. What's going on, Ian and Tyler are in here now."

"I will explain when we get there, we're not far. Princess do you have your gun."

"Yes, in my purse. Christian you're scaring me now."

"I know, I'm sorry. Get it, keep it close please. I will be there shortly" I said before hanging up.

With the bakery in sight I could finally take a breath. Once I had them both in my arms and I knew they were safe, would I finally be able to focus of everything else.

I parked as close to the door as I could, looking to each of my boys so they knew to be armed. Being in a public place, we had to keep the guns out of sight but I won't hesitate to bring it out if needed.

I opened the door to the back of the bakery, as we all entered. Ana was pacing the kitchen, which had quickly filled with our men. I looked into the office where David sat, Lucy sleeping in a chair with Milo at her feet. I wanted to hold her but she was fine, Ana was panicking and she needed me more at the moment.

I wrapped her in my arms, burying my face into her hair, taking in her scent. She was ok, although shaking at the moment as I held her as close as I could. I could feel her gun which she had placed down the back of her trousers but I wouldn't remove it, it needed to stay with her until we were home.

"What's going on" she asked, pulling her head back to see my face.

"A note was left on Eamon's car at the hospital, a note that I think was for us."

"What did it say" she asked.

I took the note from Luca, waiting quietly as Ana read it. I was angry because someone had taken the one word that I loved to call my wife and tried to tarnish it.

"Can't be a coincidence."

"What, Princess, Ana" I corrected myself a second before I saw the hurt in her eyes.

"Don't. I have been your Princess since the day we met. Don't let someone change that now."

"I'm sorry Princess, it takes a lot for me to panic but someone threatening you or Lucy makes me crazy."

"You're mother, she's a Princess too and Grandma."

"Dad would've made sure mum was ok the second Theo sent the alert out. Now what did you mean about coincidence."

"At the gym today, just before you came in. One of your men, Harvey is his name, he asked if I was a Princess."

"Why would he speak to you" I asked. They know to keep their distance.

"He said he had heard Dwayne tell our boys that they hit like their mother. He said he thought it was an insult until I hit the bag, that his mother would fall over if she had to hit it. He said it quietly, probably not really meaning for me to hear but I thanked him for the compliment. While there, my Dad and Granddad came in and that was when he realised I was a Princess."

"Harvey is a good kid Dad, he's one of the few who I wanted to bring onto my team" Theo told us.

I nodded, knowing who he was talking about. They might think just because I don't speak to everyone, that I don't pay attention when I'm in the presence of our men but I observe everyone.

"Call Bastille, I want a list of everyone who signed into the gym while your mother was there, double check it with the cameras to see if there are any discrepancies."

"You have to sign in there" Ana asked.

"Not you Ana, never you. Come on, I want to get you and Lucy home."

"Don't forget about me" Grandma said, coming from the bathroom.

"I wasn't" I told her, kissing her forehead before I went to wake my daughter up.

On the way home, my hand was entwined with Ana's. I had spoken to Jason and everyone is converging on the office I have in the grounds of my house.

"Claire is ok, she's being brought to ours. She had a sense something was wrong when Eamon ignored her call" Ana told me.

"They will be fine. It's just easier to have everyone together when we have a threat around us."

"Christian there is always a threat around us" she told me.

I knew she was right but it didn't make me worry any less.

"Lucy stays home tomorrow Ana" I told her.

"After today, we might be looking for another school."

"Ana they can't expel her because of what you said."

"Never mind what I said, I don't think they're adequate enough to look after our daughter, our nephews and keep them safe."

"I can agree with that. You know we don't touch the innocent but this mother is teetering on the edge with the way she spoke to you."

"The girl was worse."

"She's a bitch" Lucy said groggily from the back seat, my grandmother smiling as she propped her head up against her shoulder.

"How much painkiller did she have."

"A quarter of the recommended dose as I know she doesn't do well with them. They make her sick and as you can also see, drowsy. She was crying because her foot was hurting her so I had to give her something else. Christian speaking of girls, I think this note was written by a girl or a woman."

"How do you know" I asked.

"The words she had written, rhyming. Some of the letters have little swirls on them. You have seen Lucy's homework, she does this. It's either a female or a very flamboyant man."

As we pulled up to the front of the house, the boys pulling up in the car with Eric by our side, my phone went off.

Answering it, it was Malc who's head of Oriella's security.

"Sir we have a situation at Miss Pais workplace. She's missing."

"WHAT" I shouted, scaring the hell out of everyone in the car as I got out, running to Luca.

"Oriella, have you spoken to her."

"No, I was about to tell you I'm leaving. She won't pick up."

"Ana go inside while I go with Luca please. Frankie are you ok with her" I asked as he carried my sleeping beauty towards the house.

"We will be fine, go and find Oriella."

"I want the house locked down until I get back" I told Jason who had rushed over from the office. "Keep the dogs inside and everyone armed."

I got back into my car as we started back the way we had come.

"Malc tell us what you know, we're heading back into the city."

"I received a message from her about thirty minutes ago, letting me know that she was leaving but the elevators were out so it would take her time to get down as she currently works on the seventeenth floor. I moved the car closer to the exit which she comes from as we waited for her to appear but then the fire alarms went off. We went inside to look for her, despite being told to leave, checking all the exits but we can't find her. Nevio headed for the front of the building, hoping to see her there where the workers were congregated but she's either gone or is still somewhere in the building. The security won't let us see the cameras as we're not supposed to even be in here."

We passed through the gate at the bottom of my drive and I was about to put my foot down once I had turned onto the road, when I braked hard as a taxi had indicated to pull in.

"Oriella" Luca called out, getting out of the car and practically ripped the handle off the door of the taxi to get to her.

"She's here Malc, find out what happened over there if you can. Play on the fact that Oriella is the girlfriend of the Senator's grandson, see if that gets you any answers."

"Will do."

Oriella was crying, shaking as Luca held her while I paid the driver. Luca was trying to understand what she was saying as he looked to me for help.

"Let's move into the guard's office" I told them. We were too open here.

"Come on baby, you're safe" Luca told her, trying to keep his anger in. I think he was about to lose it, because I can see from her ripped blouse, that someone had touched her.

"Ori, sweetheart. Talk to me, what's happened" I asked her.

"It was him Luca, the man who was sat outside of my work."

"Ok, before you or I explode son, will someone tell me what the fuck has been going on" I told him.

"I went to the deli, close to work with Malc last week" Oriella said. "I bumped into this man as I was coming out. I apologised as I nearly covered him in my coffee, before I went back to work. Last Thursday and Friday, I saw him in a car, parked right outside my building. He watched me walk from the building door to the car both days and he was there again this afternoon. He was sat in his car looking at the door where I come out."

"Did you tell Malc."

"Yes, he spoke to him, not today but last week. He said he was there to pick his girlfriend up and we did see a woman who works on the third floor get into his car. It's a large building with over twenty floors so it's not going to be uncommon for people to be waiting there, Luca does it enough. It's just the way he looked at me that made me uncomfortable. This afternoon" she sobbed as I pulled her into my arms, patting her back.

"Ori, talk to us. What did he do."

"I had finished work" she said pulling back from me, to go to Luca. "I went to the elevator but it wasn't working, neither of them were so I headed for the stairs. I had sent Malc a message to let him know that I would be a bit late as I had seventeen floors to climb down. One of my colleagues walked down to twelve with me as she had some paperwork to deliver to a company there. I could hear footsteps moving on the stairs below us but I just thought it was someone else who was making their way down just like I was, until I saw it was him. He was dressed as one of the maintenance men, cap on his head as if he was trying to blend in. He had a gun, showed it to me and told me to walk down. He laughed, telling me that it was so easy and no one was coming as you were all busy. We had just reached the fifth floor, when the door opened onto that floor and a couple of men came out. I used the distraction to hit him with my purse, sending him back onto the stairs behind and ran. I made my way down the remaining stairs and through the reception where a taxi was pulling up. Someone had alerted security that something had happened but I didn't stop, even when the fire alarms sounded. I came here, It's safe here."

"What did he look like" Theo asked her.

"I saw him out of the window today when I was in the staff canteen on the third floor at lunch. He got out of his car and went to get a bag from the trunk. I took a photo of him on my phone but I dropped it when I ran and the screen broke."

"Ori, can you log into your cloud on my phone, hopefully the photo should be there."

Theo handed over his phone to Oriella and it was only a few minutes until we had the image of him. I spoke quietly to Theo and Matteo while Luca and Oriella had a moment together.

"Send that to Barney, get him to look in the area around the building where Ori works. Get it to Lorenzo as well, in fact get him to the house. This happened in a busy office block, people are going to ask questions and especially if they take a look at the security cameras and this isn't reported. Lorenzo can get it logged down."

"Luca, Oriella, I want you both back at the house, I want Ana to look at you Ori."

"You said he didn't hurt you" Luca asked her, cradling her face in his hands. "Your blouse."

"When I hit him with my purse, I stumbled into the railings behind. I caught the bottom of my blouse on one of the stupid intricate railings they have there. My arm hurts though a I bumped into the handrail when I was running down."

I sent Ana a message to let her know we were on our way to the house and that Oriella needed her. As we arrived back, no one came out as it was still on lock down. Though the dogs faces were mashed up against the glass by the door, seeing who was approaching.

I watched Ana pull Oriella into her arms for a hug before they went up to Luca's room. My family was in the living room, waiting for news.

"It was a decoy, the note. Sent to send us running to Ana while they tried to take Oriella away."

"God, is she ok" Eamon asked.

"Shook up but apart from that she's… she's here, she's ok" I said, trying to calm myself down. Oriella is like a second daughter to me, Ana and I love her to bits. To think if she hadn't fought back, she would've been missing now. I don't know whether to punch something or shoot someone, I was so angry. I needed to calm down, focus and get the details together in my head.

"Ana thinks that the person who wrote that note was a female. She also mentioned that you spoke about her being a Princess in the gym today before I arrived" I said to Frankie and Antonio.

"Yes, when we came in Ana had been on the bag but had stopped to speak to Harvey, I think his name is. Seeing us together, he asked if she was a Princess. You think he had something to do with this."

"No, I don't. He's a good kid Harvey. Still green but we were all like that to start with. Someone else there, though I don't know."

"Dad, Ori said that this man has been watching her for the past week. How would saying Mum was a Princess today have led to this."

"It would be one word that would have everyone panicking" Ana said, coming into the living room.

"Is she ok" I asked.

"Sleeping. She has a nasty bruise on her arm and I'm on her mother's shit list but that is nothing new."

"What do you mean her mothers, no forget about that, what did you mean about the one word."

"This man who tried to take her today has been hanging around the building for a week. He obviously knew she had a guard from when she has arrived and departed the building. Princess on that note sent everyone running. A threat against us, had everyone panicking which is what they wanted. The focus to be on us so they could sneak in and take Oriella. Maybe they had been planning it but didn't know how to get everyone out of the way, putting that one word down on paper gave them the opening they were looking for. With regards to today, you would automatically think of Harvey with the question he asked, taking the focus away from the real culprit. The thing I don't think they counted on was Oriella fighting back."

"Thank fuck for that" I said, pulling Ana into my arms, needing her close to me.

"Tomorrow I need you to stay here" I told her.

"The surgery, I will need to get someone in to cover it."

"I will do it" Eamon said.

"Dad" Kate protested.

"No Kate. I want you at home too tomorrow."

There was no arguing with Eamon. I could tell he was angry that he had been used as a distraction and he was determined not to be used any more.

...

"What did you mean about Oriella's mother" I asked Ana when we were lay in bed after enjoying a long hot soak together. I had been practically pulled by my wife out of the office to come inside and eat dinner. The grounds were heaving with all our men at the moment, trying to figure out who was behind what the hell went on today.

"Apparently her daughter almost getting kidnapped had ruined her plans for the evening. They had friends over, including a son who they wanted Oriella to meet."

"You're shitting me."

"No, apparently our son is not good enough for their daughter. Did you know that Luca went around and asked Philipe for Oriella's hand? He told him no, he would never give his blessing for her to marry a Grey."

"I need to have words with this prick" I said angrily.

"You don't need to, Luca already did. She said that he rudely told them the only person who's answer mattered to him was Oriella's and then he told them, Vegas here they come."

A giggle burst forth from Ana's mouth, a beautiful sound after the day we had, had.

Lorenzo had been around, taking an official statement from Oriella. He brought a new recruit along for the ride to make it look official. Theo was getting ready to offer him a diaper because he looked like he was going to shit himself with all these suspected mob bosses in the room. All my guys were restricted to the office outside while he was here so as not to cause any suspicion. Lorenzo had also seen the security tape of the stairwell, seeing Oriella fighting off this man. He had set the fire alarms off to escape in all the panicked people leaving the building. They could only get a partial view of his face due to the cap he was wearing being pulled down but he would work out a photofit with the one we had sent him, merging the details together.

"Harvey" Ana mumbled, tiredly.

"What about him" I asked.

"Tell me about him" she lifted her head up from where it was settled on my chest. Ana had never asked about any of our men before so I was intrigued to wonder why she would want to know now.

"He's a good kid, comes from a single parent. Was not very good in school and got fed up of being labelled a problem child and stupid so he dropped out. Theo actually found him and brought him in. He was at a boxing club across town, they had an amateur night there with a prize attached so he entered for that reason only."

"Could he box beforehand or did he get into the ring not knowing what he was doing" Ana asked, shocked.

"His Dad was in the army, taught him to box when he was a kid but he was killed in combat. Boxing was the only thing that he had left of his Dad so he continued it. Beat the shit out of a guy twice his size to claim the prize, all to help his mother out who was working three jobs to keep a roof over their head. Everyone has a story in this life Ana, some of us are in it because we're born into this life, some just for the thrill of it and then there are those like Harvey, they're here because they want to provide a better life for their loved ones. Yes, our business may be illegal but you can earn a hell of a lot from it."

"I need to change my jobs, you probably earn more in a day than I earn in a month at both mine."

"What I earn is for both of us, all of us."

"Same as mine" she smiled as I kissed her lips.

"Now why the interest in Harvey."

"He was quiet, I wouldn't say more timid than the others, more like not in your face like some of these men can be. If you didn't know him, didn't know his story. Like I said earlier, would he be a suspect to you now."

"Probably. He would've been the first I would've gone to because of his interest in the fact you're a Princess."

"Exactly, he provided the perfect decoy to take the focus away from whoever did this. I hate to think of someone in this family betraying us but it is looking like that more and more. Anyone in that meeting who knew what a Princess was, would have known I was one the second I said my surnames. This must have been planned before hand but Harvey gave them the perfect opportunity to carry it out and put the focus onto him."

"Harvey wasn't at that meeting, although a lot of them who were at the gym today were. There were also no discrepancies between the list and the video."

"Cameron" she asked.

"Yes, he was there at the Gym today."

"He must have kept to himself as I didn't see him. Unless he was smiling because all I remember was his sneer. How long was he there for?"

"I don't know, this just has their arrival time and name on it and Bastille has checked it with the tape. Come on let's get some sleep, hopefully things will seem clearer in the morning."

…

Morning came all too quickly and I would've felt rested if I had actually slept. I had planned to get up earlier but I was in no rush to remove Ana from my arms. I had one thing going around my mind, one thing that wouldn't go away. I finally left Ana in bed, kissing her forehead before I headed for my office, quickly being followed by a pack of dogs.

Knowing I wouldn't get any peace if I didn't let them out, I opened the glass door in the kitchen for them, leaving it ajar so they could let themselves back in as I had a phone call to make.

"Bastille, are you at the gym."

"I live here" he chuckled.

He was right though, he lived in the apartment above.

"Can you check the feed for yesterday again for me. Cameron Berci is logged in at 11.08am what time did he leave."

I waited impatiently for his answer, looking at the photos I had on my desk. Picking up the photo of Ana and I on our wedding day, it felt like forever since that day but my memories are also so clear, as if it was yesterday. Kissing my wife's image, I placed it back onto the desk next to the photo of our children.

"Shit" I finally heard through the line as I waited for him to let me know what he had found.

"What's going on."

"Berci arrived while Ana was hitting the bag, logs in with the book by the door. He was one of the men who stood around watching. Her Dad has just arrived, wait, wait. Christian as soon as the conversation is over, he's out the door. He must have been there twelve minutes tops, didn't ever touch the machines or change."

"Ok if he turns up today, I want to know about it. Observe, I'm going to speak to Theo, he's on his team now."

"I will do. I saw the news, how is she."

"She was completely exhausted after talking to Lorenzo last night but she will be ok."

I looked towards my office door as Theo entered.

"Keep me informed if he comes in."

"Who comes in" Theo asked as I put my phone on the desk."

"Cameron."

"Seriously" he asked pissed.

"Yes, he was at the gym, watched your mother's conversation before leaving. Twelve minutes he was there. Where is he."

"At the moment, he should be on security at the warehouse."

"Call it in, check if he's there and what time he arrived."

I lay my head back onto the rest behind, closing my eyes for just a moment. Many times, sleep has evaded me and last night was no different. Threats to me, I deal with everyday but this is personal, this is family.

"He's there, in a foul mood but he turned up for his shift on time. What do you want to do?"

"Find out where he went when he left the gym yesterday. He's still being followed isn't he."

"Yeah, hold on…. Seth, Cameron was at the gym yesterday, where did he go after."

"He did" he said before putting his hand over the receiver. "A neighbour at the apartment block where he lives had commented on his quick return. He said he had been to the gym, felt sick so he came home."

"He has a reason to leave the gym early then" I said as Theo ended his call.

"If it was a real reason. Do we have an ID on this guy who tried to grab Oriella yet" Theo asked.

There was nothing in my inbox when I woke up and I knew if Lorenzo had something, he would've called. I don't have a lot of patience this morning, so I called him.

"What have you got for me."

"One minute Boss" he sighed before I heard the familiar sound of running water.

"Sorry, needed to get out of earshot. Sebastian Ortez. From what records we have he went to high school with Ricardo Garcia, even got arrested together in their teens for possession of drugs."

"Fucking friend of Garcia's then."

"I suppose so."

"What's that supposed to mean, either he is or he isn't" I asked him.

"Oh, he was, only records show he has been dead for twelve years. Killed in a gang war down in Tijuana. That's what's took me so long to get back to you. Either this guy has a twin or he faked his own death only to come back and meet up with his old pal."

"Get his photo out to all our guys, I also want you to get some guys to do a traffic stop."

"You want me to do real police work."

"I know shock horror, it won't kill you. I want Cameron Berci stopped, search his car and see what he has there. If they find anything, I want his apartment searched too. He's my prime suspect at the moment but if I jump the gun then I could lose any chance of following him and finding out what else he knows. Hopefully being stopped will spook him, either he will lay low or he will panic and give us the lead we need to find their location."

"Ok, I will get on it" he said before the call disconnected.

"You really think he's behind this" Theo asked me.

"I don't know. The way he reacted to your mother in that meeting puts him top of my shit list and he's not helping himself by sneaking around. I would rather rule him out now than do nothing and find out yet again we have another mole in our operation, playing both sides."

"And if he is."

"Then his death will be very painful."

A knock on the door had us both turning to see Oriella stood there.

"Hi sweetheart how are you feeling."

"I'm ok, sore. Ana asked me to bring this in to you. She said breakfast won't be long. Can I ask you something?"

"Sure" I said, taking the coffee from her as she took a seat next to Theo.

"Can I stay, here for a little while. I was going to ask Ana but she's putting the world to rights on the phone to Lucy's school as well as getting breakfast ready" she smiled.

Stupid school, I will deal with them later.

"Oriella, this is your home. Here with Luca, with us. You don't ever have to leave if you don't want to."

"Thank you. You and Ana have been more parents to me over the years than mine have ever been."

"Stay here or if you want more privacy from Lucy, there is always the house next door. Both are secure and guarded."

"Why would anyone need more privacy from me" Lucy said, hobbling to the door.

"Why are you walking on that foot" I asked.

"Because I haven't learnt to levitate yet. Mum said breakfast is ready and it's going fast."

We got up making our way out of my office, Lucy getting a piggy back from her brother as he carried her into the kitchen.

"Oriella" I said, stopping her before we reached everyone else.

"Yes" she said, turning to me.

"The bangle that Lucy wears, I want you to wear one too."

I was hoping she wouldn't protest but she just smiled, nodding her head before she joined my son at the table.

LUCY POV.

I lay back on my bed, laughing at what Nicole had just told me. My brilliant cousins had done what they said they were going to do and now the whole school had seen the recording of my mother not only putting the principal in her place but also Libby and her mother too.

"My mum was laughing when I told her" she laughed.

"Yes, my mother is amazing" I chuckled.

"How's your ankle" she asked me.

I was in my bedroom, doing a video call through my laptop.

"It's ok, stairs hurt though so I have taken to bum shuffling up and down. It's a long time since I have done that. How's school, is the bitch back."

"Yeah, she was there, looks lovely now she has two black eyes. She was trying to play up to Kian, as if she will get some sympathy from him. He looked to me and asked how you were, completely ignoring her. He so likes you" she laughed.

"He's cute. He needs to be a bit tougher to get past my Dad or brothers though. I'm going to be an old spinster with a hundred cats if they have anything to do with it."

"I can't see you with cats, your dogs will eat them."

"Speaking of dogs, I get my puppy next week" I squealed. "Mum showed me a photo, she's tiny. Would probably think the Neo's are bridges to walk under."

"Have you thought of a name for her."

"Yes, I have called her Rosie. I want her in my room but mum said not until she's trained."

"You're lucky, my mum won't let us have one. She said it's not fair because they will be in on their own all day."

"We have had dogs since before I was born. My mums first dog Hugo, she had before she even met my Dad. We have always had the same breed though."

"Why aren't you getting another big dog then."

"I had a dog, Betsy when I was little. She followed me everywhere, Dad said I used to use her to hold onto when I started to walk. I loved Betsy and when she died, I didn't want another dog. I miss having a dog in my room, snoring its head off but I didn't want another Neo, didn't want to feel like I was replacing her. Speaking of rooms when are you going to get a bit of colour on yours" I asked, wanting to change the subject away from Betsy. I miss her and I could feel myself getting emotional.

"I know it's boring. Mum said it's clean, if she wants clean she can have boring white in her room" Nicole's room was decorated about a month ago and it was so white, not even a poster on the walls.

"Nicole" I heard shouted in the background but it was a male voice not her mother Penny's.

"Stay on, I'm just going to get my dinner. I will bring it up."

She disappeared from the screen as I picked my iPad up from my bed. I was laughing at Jac's Facebook page as he had recorded the reaction of the teachers to the video shown and how they had panicked and tried to have it taken down from the screens in the lunch hall.

"Hi" I heard a man's voice, making me look around my room but no one was here. I tuned Facebook off thinking I had accidentally clicked on one of those stupid advertisement videos, before turning back to my laptop to see if Nicole was back.

I did a double take at the image on the screen. A man sat in Nicole's room, sat in front of her laptop and I had no idea who he was. Was this the man who had just called Nicole to dinner.

"Hello, is this thing working" he said.

"Hello" I said quietly as a smile came onto his face.

"You must be Luciana, Nicole has told me all about you. I'm Gary, Nicole's brother" brother?

"I'm sorry but I was always told not to speak to strangers" I told him as he smirked as if what I had said was funny.

"Any friend of my sister, is a friend of mine. What are you doing."

"Ignoring you at the moment."

"Smart arse aren't you."

"I take after my Dad, it's in the blood" I could see his face darken when I mentioned my Dad. I wish Nicole would hurry up and come back.

"Do you come around here a lot then" he asked.

Something about this didn't feel right, wasn't that a question he would know the answer to if he was close to Nicole. She didn't have anything to do with her Dad and not once has she every mentioned a brother. I don't know maybe she hadn't mentioned him because they weren't close. Either way I picked my iPad up as if I was looking at something, ignoring him as he tried to get me to speak, while I carefully took a picture of the screen in front of me. I will show it Dad just to be on the safe side.

"I will let you go Luciana, I was hoping you would be more talkative" he said before moving from the screen.

"Sorry, I couldn't get away." Nicole said, coming back into view a few moments later. "Mum has her new boyfriend around and he's trying to make a good impression. You ok."

"Yes, don't take this the wrong way but your brother is creepy."

"What, what are you talking about Lucy."

"He was in your room a moment ago, trying to get me to talk to him but I don't talk to people I don't know. Nicole you have just gone as white as a sheet."

I could see the panic on her face as her head quickly moved back and forth as if she was looking for something.

"Nicole what is it, what's wrong."

"Lucy, I don't have a brother."

Thank you for reading, I know another cliffhanger but this time I have the next chapter written and am just editing it. It will be up as soon as its finished.

Take care
