Chapter Forty-Four

I soon arrive at the door of the main room, the lights were on which tells me Morgan was already waiting for me there. I scan my keycard the door immediately, unlocking. I push my back against the door to open it, the boxes still taking up my arms. Morgan was sat at his desk waiting for me, but turns when I walk in smiling. "How do you know?" I ask walking into the room, hearing the door close behind me, he just rises from his chair with a smile. "I know you Taylor, I just sensed that you'd be awake right now" he smiles where his eyes soon land on the boxes that were in my arms, I walk over to one of the tables gently placing them down. "I found these at Richards place yesterday, they caught my eye immediately, for good reason" I say turning the boxes around so he could read the front "they were under his bed in a suitcase, these were the most looked after thing in that whole house, read the names" I tell him stepping back at little, he glances at me slightly before knelling a little to look at the names. He turns to the blue one reading that name, before his eyes eventually land on the pink one. Once he reads the name he takes a look up at, his face too holding shock. "It's not even about my name being on a box, look what's inside" I say opening the clasp revealing everything that was locked inside "look, pictures of me and my family before the attack and not even that, he's got my hospital bands from when I was born" I say handing him the photos first before picking up the bands, he takes them in his hands reading what was written on them. "It's the same with Lukas's, but I would understand why he'd have his, but why and how does he have mine?!" I ask finally able to ask the questions that's been swirling around my head, but I knew Morgan probably wouldn't have the answers for me. "I know how" a voice says but it wasn't Morgan, I look passed him and over to the main door of this room, stood there was Julian "follow me" he says before he turns and leaves, Morgan and I give each other a look before eventually follow him out of the room, leaving the boxes sat on the table. We follow in silence for a few minutes, I had a incline of where he was taking us but I couldn't be sure. Once we reach the door for my corridor is when my suspensions are validated, he uses his key card to open the door. He walks first holding the door where I begin to walk through, but I knew Morgan didn't want to enter my corridor. I smile pulling him by the arm to walk through, where I discover the door open to the supply cupboard with Julian telling us to walk in. "Why are you in Taylor's corridor, only she is allowed here?" Morgan asks as we walk into the room, somewhere I've wanted to come in for awhile. The walls were full with pictures stuck on them, with two or three whiteboards at the front also full. Just from the outside, you could just tell how many hours he's spent in this place, it also didn't smell the best either. "Because this was the only place that I would get some privacy, until Taylor found out about this yesterday and tried to get in" Julian replies looking back at me, I roll my eyes holding my hands up in surrender, I was still a tad bit annoyed with him about yesterday if I'm being honest. "She had the right to question you, you're in her private corridor" Morgan says defending me, I didn't even have to ask him to do so. "We're not here to dispute whether I should be in here or not, but I found some things out that might help you work out why Richard has all those things" Julian snaps back pointing towards the main room, which was where the two boxes were sat on the table "I've been here in for about a week now, it was after we found out about what your dad and the whole of your family does, I don't know about you but something stood out to me" he explains as I begin to look around the room and all the papers on the wall, some were the documents I found at the mansion before it burned down, while others were of pictures of my dad and other family members. "There is nothing on your mum, no documents, photos nothing, the last time she's even mentioned within your family was a year after the attack on you" he explains handing me a photo of my mum, wait he's right I haven't heard anything about my mum, whenever Jasmine would talk about my family she would always say my dad "something just kept telling me to look into her and see what's happened, it was tough to find anything on her so I went out and spoke to some people" he says walking around the room picking up bits of paper, I just continue to study the photo of my mum in my hands. What's happened to you? The last memory I have of my mother is the night before Richard found me, she was making dinner while having a mini argument with my dad. They wouldn't have too many fights, or if they did it was never in front of me. That's why if something did happen to her, I just don't think my dad would be involved in any serious way. But why hasn't anyone been able to find anything on my mum? Why doesn't anyone talk about her when I've spoken with Jasmine? "I spoke with many of your fathers old friends before he created M.S.P" Julian voice snaps me out of my thoughts, Morgan looks over at me sending me a little smile "according to them, they hadn't heard anything from your dad for many years but, they were able to tell me that perhaps a year after you went missing, your mother also went missing" he said handing me a piece of paper, it was a missing flyer of my mum with the reward of £10,000 if she's found. "Was she ever found?" Morgan asks reading the leaflet over my shoulder, I couldn't help but look into the eyes of my mum staring back at me. Though the years, I have thought about my parents and wondered if I should reach out to them. The only problem I had back then was I couldn't remember a single thing about them, which is why when I was found I went to live with Morgan as no one could put me anywhere. The only thing I could remember after waking up was my name and how old I was, the facts about my family or even what pack I used to live at were gone. Unfortunately, those memories have never came back and I'm still clueless on where I used to live. Maybe if I tried a little harder to track them down, none of this would be happening or I would have been able to stop my dad making that group before it got out of control. "She wasn't found by her family or authorities, but that doesn't mean she wasn't found by someone else we all know" Julian smiles holding another piece of a paper up, Richard looking right back at us "I have some contacts in the area of no territory and no I can't tell you who they are or how I got them, but I asked and they confirmed that Mrs Dorothy Westlake moved in with Richard many years ago. I'm not sure if she still lives there as they never confirmed, but what I know for sure is that for whatever reason she left your dad and went to move in with Richard" he smiles which does take me by full surprise, my mum left my dad to go with Richard, I mean that would explain why he had those photos of me from birth and stuff! "We need to find out why she left, where is she is now or even if she's still alive and if she is alive we need to talk to her" I say just jumping right into it, if she's somewhere out there she could be the key to us finding Richard. "Taylor's right, you did good work Julian, but take all this out from here and place it in the main room, don't enter her corridor again" Morgan says before he walks out the room and corridor, I just smile placing the pieces of paper back down on the counter. "I'm sorry I spoke to you the way that I did, but I still didn't have loads of information and I didn't want you to walk in here and see all this if I didn't know all the facts"Julian says from across the room, I just shake my head with a smile. "You don't have to apologise, I totally get now why you wouldn't let me in" I smile turning to leave the room, but stop just before I left the door "you've got great potential Julian, you just need to learn how to be a team player" I say before I fully left him to think more on that point, he left me with loads to think about so I did the same thing. Around an hour later I walk back into my bedroom, it was now around 4am and to be honest, I wanted nothing more than to get a few more hours sleep. As I walk in, Toby was still fast asleep in bed, I slip my shoes off before climbing into bed. I move his arm slightly so I could lay with him, his eyes open a little where he smiles pulling me closer to him. "Where did you run off too?" His raspy voice asks his eyes closing, I sigh looking at his face with a smile. "Nowhere important" I simply reply laying my head on his chest, he leans down placing a kiss on my head before falling back to sleep, in no time I was fast asleep with him.
