One Mystery One Life

Chapter 10

Alex's P.O.V
...................

Yesterday was another weird day to me. But Today I decided to find the answers to the unsolved puzzle in my parents room after school that is. But before that I wanted Annie's set up puzzles to be figured out. My first move is to get closer to Iris. I know it sounds a little dirty, but can't help it can I. The only thing stopping me from getting into the action was Jack and his health but now I decided to send Jack to a there but am still thinking, well I have to think twice about  it. Now a days somethings are starting to get dangerous, I am afraid that I will lose Jack. Some attacks have been done on me lately, which may look like accidents but they aren't some how my gut feeling tells me that. I don't care what people think about me but I want my little Jack safe. From yesterday I have prepared for many big upcoming events , which aren't going to be nice .

Thinking this I took a day off from school. I don't know why Annie warns me against Bruce, but I tend to belief because my mom has also warned me against him.

Now here am I in front of the room of hints . Jack is my little Achilles heal and I will do anything to help him out of this blood hungry game which has just began to set it's pace . I opened drawers after drawers but found nothing , which reminded me that Annie had also entered this room , I guess she hasn't found anything because she didn't tell me so . Today Annie took Jack with her to send him off to school , I don't think she is unknown of this situation , but I know that she knows the most . She got shocked to see Uncle Bruce so that simply means she has been hiding some thing , something that is important for me to know , something likely for her to tell me and something likely about my parents and I don't know what it is. I opened another drawer and found nothing and started to look in the cupboards . I reached beneath the clothes on the hanger and found a envelope.

In the picture there are total five people. Two women, two man and a child all I could recognize were my parents . The other man had grey hair , blue eyes and was standing next to my mom in a piece coat and the other women I couldn't recognize was in a piece coat too, but had made a bun out of her golden and hint of dirty brown hair also with blue eyes. The women's complexion kind of matched Annie is all I noticed . She was the one holding a child .

I kept the picture in my room and sat up my laptop to find out about Annie . I typed down her name. Annie Julian as I recalled, but nothing appeared except some newspaper pages and an address of an orphanage . I tried here and there some more time but nothing seem to appear rather than some orphanage pages and newspapers . I tried clicking on one but it turned out the file has been removed and same were for the other links . After a little while I found a link in which a date was written, so I decided to go and check the store room in which dad kept his newspapers .

I entered the dark and dusty room and started searching of the newspaper of six years ago, March 15. I took a bird eye view of some newspapers but found nothing .

After continues searching for four hours I found nothing and sat back on the dusty rocking chair . I took a little breath careful enough not to take dust in and rested my arm on the table besides the chair . After a little rest I got up , but when I got up I heard a little crush when I looked back turned out to be I laid a piece of newspaper. I picked it up and found that I have been sitting on my puzzle piece.

I found a column on which Annie's name was written . I started to read it and found our that Annie is an orphan and was living in the orphanage , not until Iris also in the orphanage got property on his name and took Annie with himself . This turned to be the heart shackling news for me , but the good thing I can find out about her from the orphanage and before that I have to deal with Jack.

I right now in the quicksand of puzzles am very confused. The only thing left to have concern with is Jack's boarding school. I don't know if I can do this or not. Annie's and my life is a mystery as in one mystery, us being one, one life.

Hartford Orphanage departments is it.
