“Dad,” The volume of my voice surprised me; it was like I hadn’t said anything at all. “Dad?” I called, barely even a whisper, but they heard. Charlie was at my side in a heartbeat, kneeling down to meet my eyes. “Dad, Cain; I have something I have to …”

“Chief Swan?” The incoming message on Charlie’s machine made us all jerk in surprise. Charlie jogged over to let the message through.

“What is it, Charles?”

“Forensics and Special Op are here, Sir.” I found myself in Charlie’s arms as he guided us back out to the waiting area where we were greeted by men in white coats – forensics I guess – and a group of people – Special Op consisting of 3 men and 2 women . –

“Thank you for coming on such short notice. I am Chief Swan, head of the police department in Forks.” I felt proud of my father as he addressed this people. But I knew that that emotion would soon be replace by fear alone.

“You said there was an emergency.” One of the Special Op team asked.

“Yes. A few years ago, my family was terrorises by a number of people, leading one of my sons to commit suicide,” I winced as he mentioned this fact. “And now it seems it has started again. Early this evening, my daughter received a package,” He handed the man that had asked the previous question the black bag along with some files he had taken from his desk, “If you read the files, you will see what I am taking about and why these ‘gifts’ are so disturbing. I am leaving you to deal with this case and to get to the bottom of it to catch this or those man or men. I am going home to pack up and fly to Florida to sort this out with family. I hope you understand that in a case like this, family comes first.”

For what might be the last time, we pulled up outside the oh so familiar house that I had had so many memories in. Crap! I haven’t told them I am engaged! I thought when I felt Cain’s arms wrap protectively around me and drag me to the house. Where the hell has Damian gotten too? Not that I care, I am just more scared of him when I can’t see him. This thought lingered in my head as I clambered up the stairs for maybe the last time and branched off to my room. I reached around for the light switch. A scream erupted from my chest at the sight that lay on my bed. Cain and Charlie charged up the stairs to see me clutching knees, rocking in the corner of my room, my eyes overflowing and fixed on my bed.
