Special thanks to @liannxo for all her comments :) You might hate me a little during this chapter though...

Enjoy another update, sorry it's not long :/

I woke up on my own early in the morning, I didn't need an alarm today because I got good sleep last night and my body was feeling refreshed for once. I only hoped that today was going to be a good day. 

Looking over at Jaxton I saw that he was still sleeping and quietly slipped out of bed without waking him. I walked down the hall to my room and looked at my phone I left on my nightstand. The alarms haven't gone off yet so I turned those off and I didn't get any calls so I just set it back down and decided to get ready to go to work. I really hoped that today we could get some work done, I don't know how much information Damien and the rest of the team found yesterday. 

I hopped in the shower and performed my basic morning routine then I put on some simple black jeans and a white blouse with flats, after buying some clothes with Cassidy I can actually dress business casual. I then grabbed my phone and put it in my pocket before walking down stairs and down the street to the FBI headquarters, I made sure to grab an apple to eat on the walk there.

Today everyone in the office looked bored, they were all typing on their computers or talking to a colleague. My eyes then fell towards the conference room towards the back and noticed Damien pacing back and forth as if he was stressing over something, my heart involuntary picked up in nervousness. I also noticed Haley on the phone with her tablet in her hand and Charles was there as well but he was just staring at Damien as though his pacing was going to give him an anxiety attack. Something must have happened, but I can't let that change my good mood this morning. 

I walked into the conference room with a smile on my face, ready to solve this case as quickly as possible so I'm not wasting any more of these people's time. "Lovely day isn't it?" I ask as I enter making everyone look at me unamused, clearly something was up. 

"Dang, what has everyone in a bad mood?" I question looking at Damien first, who has now stopped pacing and instead just stares at me as if I've gone crazy. I then looked everyone in the room over again and realized that they had bags under their eyes as if they've been stressed out and tired. I instantly felt bad because I've been doing nothing but hangout with Jaxton all yesterday. 

"I'm so stupid Arizona." Damien said actually sounding a bit angry at himself. I just gave him a questioning look as I waited for him to continue, I was hoping nothing bad happened while I was gone.

"I totally forgot about your real father, you asked me for his address and I meant to look him up when I went back to work but I forgot." Damien said making my eyes squint in confusion, what was he saying? 

"Are you saying Quinn Raymond is a suspect for murdering my parents...?" I asked confused and a bit angry at his assumption. I went to his house in Savannah, Georgia and he didn't even talk to me as though he wanted nothing to do with me.

"Yes." Damien responded quickly as though the answer was this simple. I started to think about Quinn, he didn't even want to see me when I knocked on his door. He knew who I was but he didn't want to be associated with me. If he wanted to be apart of my life he would've made an effort to talk to me so I can't pull down his family because of false accusations. He doesn't want to pulled into my parents murder, if he did murder them then he would make it seem less obvious for me.

"He didn't do it." I said certainly, Quinn may kind of look like the guy in the ski mask but I just have a gut feeling he didn't do it. When I was living on the streets I had to rely on my instincts to get around and not find myself in stupid situations and it has always worked out.
