The house was just like we left it, and it surprised us both when no one but Daisy was home. The drive home went so much faster, since I wanted to get home before dinner. Also, because I didn't want anyone to think anything.. wrong. But as we entered the one storey house, Diasys head appeared from the kitchen and no one else's.

''Hi guys!'', she cheered.

''Hi'', we spoke at the same time, looking at each other with a smile.

''..Where have you been?'', Diasy sounded interested as she smiled bigger at us.

''..Uhm, w-'', I tried to come up with something, only making it sound like I lost my tongue.

''Harry picked me up from school and then I brought him to the music store, and then the library'', Lexi answered her younger sister before she walked up to her and ruffled Diasys long hair, ''What are you doing? Cooking?'', they both disappeared to the kitchen.

I could hear both of their voices speak as I myself appeared in the kitchen opening, just to look around and leave the next second as I noticed the door to Ambers room being closed. I carefully knocked at it, just in case but as I got no response back, my hand softly grabbed the door knob.

''Oh, Harry'', I immediately turned around to notice, this time Lexis head, from the kitchen, ''I'm going to cook some dinner with Daisy, but I just.. wanted to say thanks for today. I had a lot of fun'', she smiled and I smiled back before I nodded.

''I had a lot of fun too'', I smiled.

Lexi looked down at the floor and smiled, which seemed like she blushed before she disappeared back in the kitchen. I immediately turned around and in silence opened the door and walked inside Ambers room, leaving the sound of the kitchen fan and laughs behind. I was soon back in front of the bookshelf, where I found the hard drive last time. Soon, it was in my hand. And as more I looked at it, then more I wanted to take it. Not of curiosity, but of concern about what could happen to this family if Ambers past was still looking for this. I could not let anything happen to anyone in this house. Even though Amber got herself into trouble, there was something inside of me that wished her the best too. And leaving this thing that apparently wanted anything near it the worse, gave me shivers. I did not have to look through the files again, I knew exactly what was on them. What I needed next, was only an explanation.

''You do like looking through others stuff, don't you?''.

In panic I turned around, almost falling down in the bed of the sight. Amber stood in the room, with me and I could not decide if I was in shock of the fact that she was here or the fact that I did not hear that she actually walked in.

''Harry, give it back to me'', she reached out with her hand, even though we were too far away from each other to actually hand the hard drive to the other one, ''What's on it it's not your business''.

She sounded calm, but she wasn't. She sure wasn't, as I saw madness and panic growing in her blue eyes.

''I already looked through it'', I spoke.

''You what?'', she hissed taking a step closer, ''Harry, the more eyes that will see whats on that hardrive, then more people can be dead. Please give it back to me now''.

She reached out her hand once again and gave me a begging look. I clenched the hard drive in my sweating palm, before I shook my head.

''I won't give it to you'', I answered and Amber took one more threatening step forwards, as I lifted my hand so she could not reach it, ''Not until you tell me what everything on it means''.
