Anastasia
I am going across the stage getting my diploma knowing that my parents are watching me finally able to see me again after all these years they were hidden away. They found ways to see me. People thought I was crazy and had imaginary friends. Finally my parents cleared their names by bringing the master mind and his associates to Justice and they will spend the rest of their lives. When they finally caught the sniper they found the man behind all of the things that had gone wrong and why. Why I barely saw my parents, why I couldn't be adopted. All the whys were finally answered for me. I have a medical degree and a business degree along with taking care of a gunshot wound. Now I know why they had me training in triaging wounds. Mia told me that Kate Kavanagh was digging again and her bodyguard explained that they were getting restraining orders, those aren't as powerful as they should be.

I don't want Anastasia to go through everything we did and we finally got a break when we found the bullets. We caught the sniper by shooting his leg as he was running away from where he lay in wait. We were able to find him because he tipped his hand and his sniper was a bad shot. It didn't take long to get the information out of the sniper. He's in federal prison now. The news about the bullets and Anastasia's name on the bullets was kept under wraps. We soon moved in on Jack Hyde and had them surrounded and took everyone in custody. Jack Hyde somehow managed to get the information on Anastasia and used it to try to kill our only child. We were finally able to clear our names thanks to computer files we were able to find on their server.

Carla Steele
It didn't take long to get all of the evidence to prove that Jack Hyde is going down for treasonous acts against the United States along with his teams. He has been trying to kill us since he set us up. They never found enough to arrest us for any wrong doings. We luckily worked hard and saved our money and made money. Ray had the foresight to make our money work for us. We also had skill sets that brought in the big bucks. We were taught by the best in all fields. We made sure Anastasia was trained the same way and she put her skills to work getting a degree. Plus she fixed up the snipers bullet wounds so well a doctor couldn't tell it wasn't done in a hospital. Her direction went in another direction and she tested out of courses she had already taken in her training. We finally are able to get photos of us with our daughter. Her internship starts soon at Seattle Grace Hospital in the trauma department. We still have a home in Seattle. We bought the Lincoln place and kept the dungeon intact, just in case. We definitely made some changes though. It looks more like a home now except for the basement. It's close to her friend Mia who is now a chef. Kate Kavanagh is still digging into Anastasia and we decided to sprinkle bread crumbs in another direction. The Flynn's finally met Anastasia's imaginary friends, her parents and their security. We sat down with them and spoke about everything we could.

Grace
I couldn't believe it when I saw Anastasia in scrubs in the trauma room. It was amazing how much she had changed and seeing her working on the patient it was like she was already a trained doctor. I was called in to help and she had the patient stable in less than ten minutes. I now know that she delivered her teachers baby in high school. Mia was close by and knew the truth and was asked to keep it quiet. She didn't mention it again after that. Kate Kavanagh was trying to get information on Anastasia all throughout high school and then from Mia. We definitely had a restraining order against the Kavanagh's because they wanted information on Anastasia and wouldn't stop. The courts stepped in and they were arrested and charged, they took it seriously after that.  We met the Steele's after Anastasia came back to Seattle. The Flynn's finally met them too.

The Steele's are not the most talkative of people and we still don't know what they do for a living. We know they come with bodyguards, both men and women. The training center had very tight security and they didn't accept just anyone. A client of mine tried to get into the place and he was turned down. He somehow found out Mia had an in and tried to manipulate his way in through her. He was turned down flat. Apparently our children got in because they were friends with Anastasia and so did the Flynn children, but they didn't last long. They are definitely brilliant people, but you have to be around them to understand that.

Christian
Jason got word that the sniper and the person who hired him were caught. So we are not going to pursue it further. Jason knows more but he told me it's better that I don't know exactly what went down to catch the sniper and his boss.

Jason
I definitely don't want to deal with the kind of guys who were after Miss Steele. We were told to stand down because she has her own protection. I was sent photos of her being followed by a number of people and they change. They were definitely protecting her, because they stopped a few kidnappers from grabbing her during her high school years. Then her college years. Mr Grey was still keeping tabs, but in a different way. There were incidents at college, but they weren't reported by anyone at all. We finally met the Steele's after Anastasia started at Seattle Grace Hospital.
