Amber's POV


"Not even close." Harry taps his fingers on the dash board as we wait in a red light

"Well, I'm out of guesses." I give in and he shoots me a triumphant grin. I was currently trying to guess his middle name.

"Just try once more." He pleads and I roll my eyes

"Fine." I pause, and rack my brain for a name. "Johnathan?"

He bursts into laughter at my response. "You actually suck."

I hit his shoulder lightly as he presses down harshly on the accelerator. "Just tell me your freaking middle name." I demand

"Don't get your knickers in a knot." He shoots me a cheeky grin but I give him a stubborn glare, "It's Edward." He gives in, and I immediately wonder why I never thought of that name.

"Cute." I give him a little smirk and he raises his eyebrows.

"Cute? More like sexy." He nudges me with his shoulder and I laugh at his boldness.

"You wish jellyfish." I tell him

"Sure thing chicken wing." he shoots back

"Nice try apple pie." I return with a smirk and he rolls his eyes.

"You suck."

"And you swallow." I tell him, and his eyes go wide before we both burst into laughter. The car swerves a bit to the left and I let out a surprised yelp. "Keep your eyes on the road, moron."

"Sincerely sorry Agent Blackthorn." He says and I sigh loudly.

"How much longer?" I ask and he shrugs,

"Around 20 minutes." he tells me and I smile with delight, I really needed to stretch.

He pulls into the driveway of a seemingly ordinary house, surrounded by typical suburban homes. It was in a slightly less busy part of New York that I had never really come across.

"This is?" I ask and he nods, getting out of the car. I copy his actions and follow him to the front door. He presses the doorbell and we wait patiently for it to open. When it does, we are greeted by a youngish looking woman, with platinum blonde hair reaching her shoulders. Her eyes were grey and her skin fair.

"Are you Ella Brown?" I ask before she can say anything, and shock evidently crosses her face before she regained her composure.

"So what if I am? Who are you, and how did you know who I was and where I lived." She doesn't move to allow us to walk in.

"I am Harry, and this is my partner Amber." Harry says and she furrows her eyebrows with confusion

"Partner? As in..." She begins but I cut her off with an awkward chuckle

"No, not like that. But we can explain everything to you if you'd just let us inside." I can see her hesitation, but her curiosity is more powerful as she lets us inside.

She leads us into the lounge room and sits us on the lounge chairs.

"Um, I'll get some coffee." She says before quickly walking off to the kitchen

I sigh and lean back on the chair, looking at Harry.

"Do you think she knows anything?" I ask him and he shakes his head
