Jody typed the name into the search engine and Hit enter. Suddenly the page was full of results. Links to social media pages, photos, and all sorts of websites. Jody painstakingly worked her way through the links on the first page with no luck.
There's pages and pages of Internet results, it'll take forever and we'll never figure out which person is my dad. There could be hundreds of Henry Hughes. exclaimed Tyler in frustration
If only we knew a bit more about him, then it would be easier to track him down
I only found out I had a dad a couple of days ago, all I know is his name.
Is there anything else that Irene told you about your dad. Anything at all?
No. She didn't mention anything else. Looks thanks for you help jody but this is hopeless. I'm going to my room
Tyler walked off and jody slammed her fist on the keyboard in frustration.
Maybe she had been too optimistic expecting to find Tylers dad on the Internet.
Jody are you finished with the computer? Asked Joseph tentatively. Only iv got homework to do.
Yeah sure muttered Jody 

Jody was preoccupied for the rest of the day thinking of Tyler's dad and how they could track him down. That night Jody couldn't sleep, she tossed and turned but all she could think about was Tyler and his dad. Eventually she gave up trying to get to sleep, she switched on her bedside lamp and slipped into her dressing gown and slippers. She picked up the dog eared copy of Peter pan from her bedside cabinet and padded over to her desk. She tore a piece of paper from an old notebook and scribbled a note to Tyler. She stuffed the note inside the copy of Peter pan and then crept out of her room. She cracked opened Tyler's bedroom door and shoved the book into the room and then closed the door softly behind her.

Instead of heading back to her room, she tiptoed along the corridor and down the stairs, careful to avoid any creaky floorboards. She made her way to the house computer and switched it on, she blinked as the screen lit up.
She opened the Internet browser and began to search. This time she started by typing Sally Lewis. She trawled through pages of links. Several hours later a triumphant but exhausted Jody climbed in to bed with a smile. She could hardly wait to tell Tyler all she had found out.
