The Truth Behind The Lies

⚜️3⚜️

"Who is the person now" Ariel ask rolling her eyes before walking over to her computer.

Ariel has grown into a beautiful, tall, smooth chocolate skin women with green eyes standing at 5'9. Ariel still has that small gap between her two front pearly white teeth, and full juicy lips that always look kissable, only thing that changed other than her hair was that she now wears glasses which gives her a more professional look, once Ariel got her dream job she decided to cut off her long dark brown dreads and dye her hair blonde.

"Well dang why you gotta say it like that?" Pryde ask sizing Ariel.

Parissa look over at Pryde noticing that something was bothering him but now wasn't the time to bring up that. They came to Ariel for a reason so Parissa decided to wait till they had some brother and sister time.

"Because y'all only come visit me at work when you want me to look up somebody, y'all ain't shit I tell y'all all the time I could loose my job behind y'all foolishness but that still don't stop y'all" Ariel replies back with attitude as she walks into her office.

"Look Ariel can you please just do it the quicker you do it the faster we leave" Parissa says crossing her arms across her chest.

"Name?" Ariel ask sitting at her computer.

"Carter Logan " Parissa answers before Pryde could open his mouth.

Pryde looks at Parissa with confusion before asking

"Why you picked him?"

"Because something about him seems off and in a weird way he reminds me of dad" Parissa tells him quickly.

At Parissa's graduation it was something about Carter that rubbed her the wrong way and the fact that he looked a little like her dad was enough to make her wonder. And maybe she was imaging things but Parissa coulda sworn she saw one of the puzzle pieces of their family heart necklace.

"Okay Carter Logan.. Are you sure that's his name?" Ariel ask looking at Parissa, pulling her out of her thoughts.

"Yeah I'm pretty sure why?" Parissa questions leaning down to look at the screen.

"Because I'm looking at my screen and there are only two people with the name Carter Logan on file one died almost a year ago and the other Carter Logan was born just three weeks ago so unless the Carter Logan yall looking for was born three weeks ago then who ever told you their name was Carter Logan isn't who they say they are" Ariel inquires sounding surprise.

"Okay try Harold Cross"

"Why the hell you picked dad name?" Pryde ask looking at Parissa with hurt in his eyes.

"Because we never did find out how he died " Parissa snaps back.

As Ariel begins to type Harold name in Pryde and Parissa phone rings.

"Speak" they say in union.

"Look we just got word that Melvin made bail and he at his house Nolen, Chance and me will go get him and send y'all the address whatever y'all doing forget about it and get prepared" Russell informs them before hanging up the phone.

"Yo Ariel thanks for yo help we appreciate you babygirl we gotta go" Pryde rushes out kissing Ariel on the cheek before following Parissa out the building.
