James asked Anna:" do you know about Hazel yet" he looked for a reaction.
Anna looked at him puzzled:" what has happened is there something wrong is Uncle okay" she looked worried. Her immediate thought went to her Uncle Ed.
James:" well Ed is upset and locked himself in his room at home we have all tried to talk to him nobody has had any luck" he sighed he knew only one person now could get through to him he was looking at her.
Anna looked worried:" Why what's happen is Uncle okay he is not hurt is the hurry let's go home quickly Uncle drive quicker please" she needed to see Uncle Ed for her self.
James:" well the thing is you should know is that Hazel is not that actual Hazel as in Anthony sister Jackie's mum and Ed's wife. Fake Hazel has cleverly had a face change and all the relevant information fed to her about all of us. She could come into our family home. You remember she said she had no memory of the past but she would say random things what surprised us when she recognised Jaden straight away it was strange. When she was with Jaden she went swimming with her Jaden notice that she didn't have her birthmark on her back which was impossible to remove. When Jaden questioned her about it she told her she had an accident in a fire and it was burned she said she got skin grafting done that's why you could see it. Even if you had it would have left some marks. It would still leave some marks then Jaden asked questions only Hazel would be able to answer then Jaden made up stuff that Hazel would know it wasn't true but she made a lot of mistakes and the final straw was her DNA the kids did it didn't match and the kids then found all the relevant information about her who she really was and then after she was captured she admitted the truth and she was sent by Beng's to infiltrate into the house.
Adrian was driving while he folded the rest "She was heard with one purpose to find who we all are and course a rift to break between us luckily they don't know we are part of Isaac's royal guards. Otherwise, they wouldn't have the guts to come near us and also she wasn't allowed anywhere near the surveillance room so the secret was safe Ed suspected her so he moved out with her so she couldn't do any more snoop"
Adrian while driving continued "She has here to plans to the house got the plans of the rooms and garden so we are expecting an attack through the garden. Extra security around the house and office has been alerted and the compound as well so everyone is ready for what's about to come" he sighed as he told Anna everything.
Anna:" well I had become suspicious of her when we went shopping she said to do things that didn't add up I checked with mum and found out it wasn't true and was going to check when I came back but looks like mama and the kids did the job already let's get home and check on Uncle I am worried about him" Anna was amazed at her family it wasn't easy to break them up they were after all blood tied together.
Anthony:" yeah knowing Ed he will only let Anna in so she is the best option we have to pull him out of this mess it's my fault how could I not tell it's not my sister I have let her down again" he sighed.
Anna pulled Anthony in for a hug:" when you miss someone so much you so want it to be true you so you grasp that little bit of hope, unfortunately, it wasn't the right one but now we know that Auntie Jazel is alive we will find her" he made I promise to her self she tries her best.
Anthony looked at her in surprise:" what makes you think she is still alive"?
Anna:" Well when I was talking to mum she told me that when Hazel And mum were young they had code words they would use when they didn't want to secretly send a message while Fake Hazel was telling mum things about the past the codes were all there that's how we are sure she is alive and she hasn't forgotten anything " she smiled.
Adrian chuckled:" that's my girls I always know they send secret messages I remember the codes too but I never spoke to Hazel so I didn't know" he wishes she had asked he would have known.
Adrian really missed his best friends all these years. He wanted to get in touch with Jaden and just have coffee but he was afraid he would get rejected so he didn't. But now it was time to build the courage and just ask allege could do is say no.
James:" you all know then no wonder they got away with so much you were cahoots with them" he shook his head.
Anna chuckled:" so what else is there that we don't know hey Uncle" she tapped Adrian's shoulder.
Adrian smiled:" ah well that's for me to know and you to find isn't it" he chuckled.
Anna:" you always say that when you don't want to tell us that's not fair Uncle" she pouted but she looked funny.
James and Adrian could see they burst out laughing. While Anthony looked puzzled until he looked at Anna:" Anna please don't pout you look awful you're scared my upset away as well " he chuckled.
Anna looked at Anthony and thought where does this man stupidly come from it's worse and worse day by day.
Anna didn't want Ed to go back his hole that she pulled himself out of it would really difficult to pull him out she loved her Uncle she didn't want to see him hurt she would personally kill all the Beng's that we're left if anything to Ed for Anna he was one of her father figures.
The rest of the drive back was silent now everyone was thinking about something or another but all of them had one person on their mind, Ed. And how they can pull him out all of this.
As they arrived home Anna shot out of the car she waits for anyone she ran up the stairs to Ed room she knocked on the door:" hey Uncle it's me let me in please" she pleaded.
By this time everyone had arrived they all waited in anticipation for what would happen. They all had tried but no avail Ed had not eaten for a few days too they were all worried.
The clicked as it was unlocked Anna opened the door went inside as she entered Ed locked the door behind her he looked at Anna and hugged her and wept his heart out. Anna held him just like she did when she was young it broke her heart to see her Uncle like this.
Ed sobbed:" Little Angel they played with my heart it hurts so much I knew it wasn't her but I so desperately wanted it to be her I miss her so much I am in pain little Angel help me like you did last time I can't sleep my head hurts my heart hurts so much why do you take so long in coming to little Angel?" he wept so much.
Anna:" so sorry I was late I will never be late again and I will find those responsible for hurting you like this they won't survive!" she patted him on the back gently.
Ed:" why play with me what did they get from it. I loved her so much she left without a word but as she walked the pain in those eyes we're too much she was hurting and I couldn't help her! she wouldn't let me she was disgusted with her self I lost her. She is alive and hiding from me which is worst she doesn't want me to find her the women that were disguise as her she said she hates me and never wants to see my face she hates her daughter because she reminded her of me" he sobbed.
Anna didn't speak she just listen.
Ed:" why she didn't do anything to anyone? if I hadn't been late that day when she rung she would be with me why? I tell me little Angel? he looked up with his watery eyes for a response.
Anna:" Auntie doesn't hate Uncle you they lied she loves you and Jackie she only left her to keep her safe if she didn't she wouldn't have wrapped warmly and wait for the nuns to find her before she left and over the years she has always checked on Jackie and you so how can she not live we will find Auntie I promise " Anna looked at her with termination she would definitely find her.
Ed:" how do know if she is alive maybe she is dead that's why she never got in touch" he sobbed.
Anna:" no Uncle she is alive the hidden message made it clear and we will find her now we are sure don't lose hope we will find her okay " she hugged her Uncle tightly.
Anna hadn't seen her Uncle cry in a long time it hurt her heart to see him like this he reeked of alcohol as well he had been drinking too he had hit rock bottom again. Anna was very angry at Hazel well the false Hazel for what she had done to her Uncle had done. If she wasn't already dead Anna would have surely killed her
Anna just held her Uncle and let him sob until no more rears would come they sat on the floor finally Uncle went to sleep on Anna's lap she let him. He needed to sleep after a good rest he would have a hangover but least he could think clearly.
Anna text Adrian outside that Ed was asleep so use the key to open the door so they could clean Ed up and bring him some clean clothes. Anthony and James Na drain picked Ed up place him on the bed he still had hold of Anna hand and didn't let go so Anna just walked onto the bed and sat with him the Uncles all cleaned Ed up and brought the hangover soup.
