"Your fathers name is Jasper Carter, we're here to find out any information that Paul may have on him. Seen as though Paul's his children's step father."

"Haz stop" Louis groaned once more "Boss will kill you"

The certainty in his statement made me want to know who their boss was.

"Your resemblance to him is remarkable" Harry said whilst staring at me, studying me almost. He looked over to Ryan and did the same, "Both of you look like him".

"My fathers name is Paul Grayson. I don't look anything like Jasper Carter, I look like my mother" my eyes flicked over to Ryan and back to Harry "We both look like her" I almost shouted at him but lowered my voice after realising it was only the early hours of the morning and everyone else was still in bed.

"Why do you want information on this Jasper guy anyway?" Ryan grabbed his gun from where he had put it on the table and walked over to where Louis was currently lying on the ground telling Harry to not answer our questions.
"Speak again and I'll shoot you" he threatened.

"We want him, he's been in hiding for almost 5 years and we're running out of ways to try and find him" Harry explained, looking uneasily at the gun pointed at his friend.

"Why do you want to find him?" I asked, my arm starting to ache from having my gun pointing at Harry for almost 15 minutes.

He looked from Ryan's gun back to me "He's a wanted man" I was about to ask why but Harry cut me off before I could "I think I've answered more than enough questions now"

He stood up from Paul's desk that he had been leaning against. He strolled over to the door and brushed passed me "nice to meet you Amelia" his hot breath fanned my face as he spoke.

"I'd say the same to you but it wasn't" I snarled back making him chuckle and shake his head
"so feisty" he muttered before turning to where his companion lay on the floor.

"Come on Lou, let's go" Ryan stopped pointing the gun at Louis and dropped his hand to his side.

Louis hauled himself up from the floor using the help of one of the filing cabinets situated in the room, stumbling slightly as he did so. Obviously still dizzy from Ryan's blow to the back of his head. He reached up to touch the point on his head where he was hit and his hand came back covered in blood. "Dick" he muttered under his breath glaring at Ryan.

Ryan aimed the gun once again at Louis' head, this time the barrel was actually pressed against his skull "what did you say".

Louis' eyes widened. He muttered a quick "nothing" and scurried off towards the door.

Both men left the house quickly and silence fell, I was trying to process what I had just been told.

I checked the clock on my fathers-or should I say my step fathers desk. It read 3.55am.

"Do you believe him" I asked Ryan, referencing everything that Harry had just told us.

He looked at me with a pained expression and slowly nodded, any hope I had of all this being some sick joke disappeared.

"Why"

"It makes sense. My middle name is Jasper which is quite an unusual name. I have Black hair which neither Mum or Dad do and you have green eyes which neither Mum or Dad do."

"That could just be a coincidence though, and if Jasper is the father of both of us then he must've been around until you were about 2, you would've remembered him wouldn't you."

"It could be a coincidence but I doubt it. I don't remember anything but I've always had a feeling that something wasn't right about this family." He paused looking around the room "we should get all this cleaned up before anyone wakes up"

I inspected the room and nodded, there was a small pool of blood near Ryan's feet from Louis' head wound. Files were strewn along Paul's desk, on the floor and on top of the filing cabinets. The draws in the desk were pulled open and odd items were littered on the floor. They'd made a right mess.

"You clean up the blood and I'll start putting the files away" Ryan said, picking up some of the files situated around his feet.

"Great, I get the fun job" I whispered sarcastically.

We spent roughly an hour getting everything back to how it was before, the blood had left a stain on the floor but luckily we had some white spirit under the sink. It took off some of the varnish on the wood but it was no where near as noticeable as a blood stain.

I walked into the kitchen and poured myself a glass of water to give myself an excuse for being downstairs just in case I saw someone on the way back to my room. I went up the stairs and walked down the corridor to my room, sticking my head in Henry's room on the way just to make sure he was asleep again. He was.

I made it to my room and placed my pistol in the grey box which was still laid on top of my bed. I made a mental note to get my other pistol off of Ryan the next day.

I got into bed and went to sleep for the remaining two hours before I had to be awake again to get ready for school.

I awoke, this time to my alarm clock rather than a screaming baby. I rolled out of bed and got into the shower, quickly scrubbing some dried blood of off my hand that I'd obviously picked up whilst cleaning up the mess in the study last night.

The memories of last night flooded back to me and more questions started circling my mind.

I finished in the shower after throwing some shampoo and conditioner in my hair and rinsing it out.

I found some black skinny jeans and a white jack wills T-shirt to wear and then headed downstairs for breakfast.

I approached the kitchen and pushed the door open. My mum was stood by the window with Henry in her arms. Ryan was sat at the dining room table with one of my little sisters either side of him, Hannah and Lucy.

"Morning hunny" my mum smiled at me as I sat down opposite Hannah

"Morning mum" I returned the smile as my dad (well...hopefully my dad) walked through the door

"Good morning" he beamed at everyone

I looked up and studied him, trying to find some resemblance between him and myself. He must have noticed because he gave me a questioning look. Ryan kicked me under the table, I looked at him and he shook his head slightly, asking me not to mention anything from last night. I turned my attention to Lucy who was stabbing the life out of her coco pops.

"Mum" I said

"What hunny" she asked, looking up from Henry who she was currently feeding.

"Who's Jasper Carter?"
