((hello, im back:) do you like the new cover or the other one?))

[Brandon]

"Brandon James speaking." I pressed the speaker button on my gold and purple iPhone while shifting through the mass of notes I had made on the floor of George's old den. Louisa and I, despite the fact we hate this place, have to stay here because we have nowhere else to go. Louisa had gone out to the shops to get some bits and bobs with whatever little English money we had.

I could easily exchange dollars to pounds at a bank, but that requites effort and I need to put that effort into these desirables. I know George had asked us to look for Becky, but to be honest... we're going In a good direction in looking for the couple then we are to finding that physco path!

"Brandon-it's me, Louisa! You'll never guess who I've just seen!" Louisa's tone was full of excitement and happiness and of course I was curious to know why.

"Go on, tell me then." I pressed on waiting for her to continue.

"Becky. I've just seen Becky with her old friend, Caitlin! They were going into this Italian restaurant! Should I go after them?"

"Well of course! Lay low though." I rolled my eyes because it was a stupid question with an answer that was so obvious. Oops, I forgot she has an empty space in her head where her brain should be. I've just realized-I'm quite harsh on her, aren't I? Oh well. I'm only speaking the truth.

"Okay! Bye." and she hung up quickly and I continued to stare at the papers in front of me. Half of them made sense to me, but some didn't. I was missing something about this plan. Something big.

Here's what I've learned so far:

Six members. All male. A gang. Malik is the leader, Parker second in command. Sykes doesn't have many roles, as doesn't Kaneswaran. They've created a lot of plans that form 'missions', that are to do with fights and drugs. They are together for protection from something or even someone. If only I knew who or what this thing or person is, everything would be so much clearer! This piece would finish this jigsaw-and everything would fall into place.

Something to do with a rescue mission, to bring one person back. Someone that meant a lot to the gang, that they were willing to sacrifice lives for that person. Who?

Okay, maybe there was two things I needed to figure out before everything becomes clear then...

"Hello sir." I knocked on the door of the police officers' office after waiting only a minute to be seen. I used my authority, and it worked-I didn't even need to bribe anyone with money!

"Good day to you, Master James. How can I help you?" the officer politely shakes my hand and motions to the chair behind me to sit on. I do exactly that.

"Well. I was wondering if you could tell me a few major events that have happened over the past two-three months in Bradford? Anything quite big on your scales-sudden incidents?" I causally ask him, leaning back in my seat because I feel at home wherever I go.

"Hm, major cases... Hmm, there has been not many. Bradford isn't known for it's cases... If there was anything big, it would come straight to the main police station-which is here in London. I can just go check in my files, if you don't mind?" he stands up and I simply nod my head-giving a grown police officer the authority to do his job; if that doesn't show how powerful I am, I don't know what will.

After about two minutes of impatiently waiting, he comes back a little red in the face, either because he is embarrassed or because had had been running...
