A Shadow Of Doubt

The Meeting

Anastasia
I arrive early to work with my protectors along side me. We walk inside the building and they ride in the elevator up to the offices. Dad is waiting for us and we walk inside his office. My protectors sit in chairs close to the door. When mr Jameson arrives they will make sure he isn't carrying weapons.
Raymond
I can't find anything but a BMV and a passport photo of him any where. So his background check is pretty clean. We all await mr Jameson and I start looking over some of the files on my desk regarding background checks and investigations. We have three awaiting payment and pick up of the files.
Graham
I am finally here with my briefcase carrying all the paperwork I need to prove who I am. I am lead to the elevators and told they are expecting me. I get out of the elevator and am taken to Raymond Steele's office. The receptionist knocks on the door and someone opens the door and I am asked to allow for a pat down. I explain that I have my guns and my carry conceal license on me. They ask for my weapons and I had them to the woman along with my license. The man pats me down and asks if I have a bullet proof vest on. I tell him of course I do. I think I am going to have to hire bodyguards and drivers here in Seattle. I ask the security if they can recommend anyone? Raymond tells me he knows a few that these two aren't one of his teams. The security open the door hanging onto my guns and license.
Raymond
You will get all of them back before you leave the building. Okay I am Raymond Steele and this is Anastasia Steele my partner and daughter. What brings you here this morning?
Graham
Well I have to show you something and I have verification of it. I am your son mr Steele. Carla was pregnant with me when you and she were divorced. I pull out the birth certificate and the DNA report. I explain that we can have it tested by anyone he wishes to prove that my parents were him and Carla. He looks over all the paperwork and I show him my adoption papers. I was born Louis David Steele. I explain that my parents kept me out of the public because of how they came to adopt me. They paid a huge fee to adopt me.
Anastasia
I think to be sure let's get the DNA test by a trusted dr we both know. Dr Grace Grey.
Graham
I expected that would be the case. They both are looking at everything, I definitely don't want them to have the information about the actual amount my parents paid the Lincoln's for me. I am keeping my adopted name for business reasons. There is a knock on the door and the receptionist reminds them about their next appointments.
Raymond
We have a few appointments and can schedule the DNA and if you want to we can talk further. I think Anastasia and I both have plans this evening but we can arrange the DNA test and have lunch or dinner on that day if you have time and wish to.
Anastasia
I definitely have plans this evening. You look a lot like me. Grace is a nice doctor. Sorry about the pat down, my safety is an issue right now.
Graham
After what I discovered I would think it is an issue since your step father saw you.
Raymond
Stephen Morton? Why we he be a problem for Anastasia?
Graham
He apparently has an obsession about Anastasia. Fair warning he is in Seattle. She is going to need more than those two outside against him. He is probably stalking her now and gathering information on the best way to kidnap her. I can't say how I know about this, but I do. He will even try to find someone to help him to achieve his goal. Anyway you might want to get an upper hand on this.
Anastasia
I carry my gun as well. So how afraid of him should I be?
Graham
Very afraid, I hand them his background check. He has served some time and he is slippery. He has escaped from justice and they can't seem to be able to catch him. He has affiliations with Richard and Elena Lincoln. They make him look like a preacher. If I could find a way to get all of them I would. There are things I suspect they are behind, but they keep their hands clean for the most part. I can tell you Anastasia was lucky to be alive after they got to a friend of hers to set her up. Mr Douglas was never a friend of yours he was one of Elenas robotic boy toys.
Okay let's set this DNA up soon, I have a friend meeting me for lunch. I stand and hand them my card with all my numbers on it. It was nice meeting my real family.
Anastasia
Well you have given us a lot to think about and I am going to watch my back. I will have my protectors with me at all times.
Raymond
We will call and set up a time to get the DNA tests done. We have someone waiting for us.
Graham
I am given my guns and my license back and promise to call to get an appointment set up for the DNA. I get in the elevator and go to the main lobby and head outside. It is then I catch sight of Stephen Morton. He disappears within a moment. I watch to see if I can catch a glimpse of him. I definitely call and not only get security for myself, I get extra security for Anastasia and her father. They will meet with me at my home and sign the contracts.
