"Mrs. Page this is my daughter Charlotte Matheson" Miles said introducing Duncan Page and Charlie to each other Duncan reached out to shake Charlie's hand and Charlie returned the favor.

"Actually I go by Charlie but nice to meet you Mrs. Page" Charlie said as she shook Duncan's hand and walked off to her seat at the dinner table.

"Mrs. Matheson your daughter is well, hmm something else" Duncan said as she sat next to Nora.

"Duncan I see you met my wife Nora" Miles said as he took his seat in between Nora and Charlie at the head of the table.

"I have some news everyone" Miles said as he stood up getting everyone's attention.

"Well um I don't know how to say this but Nora is pregnant with our second child" Miles said with a wide smile, Charlie spit out her water and stood up from her seat.

"May I be excused" Charlie asked almost in tears that her parents would keep something so big from her.

"Char hear us out please" Miles pleaded as Charlie ran out the room in tears.

Bass nodded at Miles and took off after the young girl knowing exactly where she was running to.

Down the left corridor and take a right that's where Charlie's hiding place has been since she was 8 years old when she, Miles, Bass and Sgt. Baker where playing hide and seek bass was the only one who found her and it's where she's gone ever since when she was sad, mad, hell even happy she loved that room, probably because the walls don't talk here.
