I walked down to the gas station after I was done working for today. With a lot of cash in my pocket.

I actually got paid from my job at the fish workshop and it was about two hundred and fifty dollars. Seems okay to me so far. I mean I only just got accepted for the job there anyways several days ago, so my pay might rise up a bit, I don't know.

Why I'm heading to the gas station? Well because my cd player died when I got back to Brooke's house and I needed the batteries. So I thought why not just go buy some at the gas station.

Then a thought came to me, I haven't been back to the gas station since I've stolen a few things when I first came to this town.

I sighed to myself as I got closer to the gas station. I hope the gas station attendant doesn't really blame me for all the stuff that was missing. I mean, I just got out of jail and I don't want to go back in it. I hope he just let it go already.

I walked through the entrance of the gas station and went inside. I saw the gas station attendant, standing behind the counter and he smiled at me, "Hey there kid! I haven't seen you come in here since the first time I've seen you."

I put on a small grin and walked up to the counter, "Well....I haven't came back here because I thought you would blame me for stealing something here. It's not like you did before."

The gas station attendant's eyes went wide and he let out a sigh, "Well....I've noticed a few things were missing and since I haven't seen you in this town before, I thought you were the thief." Then he shrugged, "Guess I wrong about you, huh?"

I waved him off, "Look, if you're trying to apologize, it's alright I don't hate you. I just want to move on from that and so far I have."

The gas station attendant smiled, "Well good. I heard you're working at the docks."

I laughed, "Guess word really has gotten around about me, huh?"

He nodded, "That sounds about right. You look like a hard working man. I knew the old man who owns that place for a long time, he's a great man."

I nodded in agreement, "Yeah, considering his place of business was the only place in town that was holding job applications."

He asked, "Do you like the place?"

I shrugged, "It's okay. Of course, I get to come home smelling like fish all the time." Then I chuckled.

The gas station attendant grinned at me and said, "Sounds like you really have a sense of humor."

I muttered, "Yep." Then I whirled around on him, "I'll be back in a second." Then I walked around to look for the batteries for my cd player and I found them like I did when I first came in here. I grabbed the batteries and went to the counter to pay for them.

The gas station attendant ran the sale into the machine and he handed back the batteries, "Here you go."

I grabbed them out of his hand, "Thanks."

The gas station attendant then said, "Look again, I'm sorry for all the trouble you have went through. I was wrong about you, I never should have accused you of stealing. I didn't see you on the camera stealing things anyway." Then he had a serious look on his face, "But I hope they catch whoever it was that stole here."

I shook my head, "I'm a big boy, so there was no trouble at all. And I hope they catch him too."

He sighed, "Well I better head back into my office for a minute or two. Talk later kid and welcome to Southport." He waved and he walked off.

I watched him as he left, thinking about what I've done to that man. Robbing this place. That guy was talking to the thief who has stolen here and it's me.

I sighed in guilt. I really feel like I want to pay for my mistakes. A part of me does. I feel sorry for the guy. I want to pay for the things I've stolen.

And I know how to do that.

I reached into my pocket and dropped some cash onto the counter. Paying for all the items that I've stolen. I put on a grin. There, that outa do it.

I know that I did steal before more than once and I know that I can't make up for my mistakes for them.

But at least for once in my life, I can do it just this once.

I backed away from the counter and went outside through the entrance. My heart beating. Well that was over with, now I won't have to feel guilty anymore. I made up to the guy for my mistake. But he'll never know that it was me.

I dugged into my pocket and pulled out the cd player and my headphones out and put them on. I put the new batteries into the player and turned the cd player on. The song being player through the headphones is, 'Street Fighting Man' by The Rolling Stones.

I hummed with the song when it started playing, and I started to jog back to Brooke's house.

Mom and dad, I hope you saw what I just did back at the station. I paid for the things I've stolen.

I bet you're very proud of me. Even I'm not the bad guy.

*****

I laid around in my bed at Brooke's house and I stared up at the ceiling. Just lost in my own thoughts.

Then I heard a knock at my door and hollered, "Come in." I sat up in my bed and saw Brooke enter the room.

She smiled at me as she entered, "Hey Jonas. How was work?"

I shrugged, "I was tired today, but I was fine. Can't really complain." Then I asked, "How was your day? I know patrolling the streets as an officer can be hard work."

Brooke giggled, "Well...As long as I don't deal with trouble every minute of everyday, I'm fine. Now that would be tiresome."

I giggled as well and looked down at the floor. Brooke got closer to me and asked, "Hey Jonas, you want to talk or something? I mean ever since you've started living here, you haven't talked much at all. You're...Kind of a ghost here, you're pretty quiet."

I looked at her and said, "Well...I was always quiet in school, and-"

She pointed at me, "Exactly, I just want to get to know you and all that. I mean...I can tell you're shy about it, but I can be your friend."

I sighed, "It's....Not an easy topic. I've been through a lot."

Brooke had a look of sympathy and she reached her hand out to me, "I want to show you something, come with me."

I gave her a quizzical look, "What?"

She still stood there with her hand out and I decided to just go with it. She does have a point, I don't talk to her and her husband much, ever since I've been living here. I think it's fair that I would spend time with her as much as I can. I owe her that much.

She hasn't arrested me again, so why worry about it? Just don't tell her about the times I've stolen more than once. She wouldn't let that go, because she's a cop.

I grabbed her hand and we both walked out of the room together.

*****

Me and Brooke were sitting on the living room couch together, about an hour later after she got me.

Brooke was showing me her family photo album, most of her family history.

Turns out her father was a cop and her grandfather was also a cop. That was the reason why she became a cop to begin with. Family business as she would call it.

Then she started telling me the story of how she met her husband Thomas. She said that a mutual friend introduced them to each other and she and Thomas immediately hit it off. She was also showing me her wedding photos.

I giggled when I looked at them, "Thomas really looked dashing in that tux."

Brooke laughed and said, "Well yes he does. That's what my dad said when he showed up for the wedding."

I looked at the photo when the wedding ceremony started, "You guys looked cute together."

Brooke smiled at me, "Thank you."

I looked at her, "How long have you guys been married?"

Brooke answered, "About fifteen years already."

I grinned, "Fifteen years? Wow."

Brooke laughed and she slugged my shoulder, "Now don't act so surprised young man! I bet your parents weren't together that long."

When she brought up my parents, my heart cracked a bit. But she never knew what I went through so I went along with it, "Well...My parents have been married for quite a long time, before I was born actually."

She raised her eyebrows, "I rest my case. I guess some people can stay married for a long time."

I shrugged, "I guess so." Then we both giggled.

Me and Brooke looked at the window in silence, just thinking about what else we should say.

I mean, I haven't told her most of my life, except the things that I like and all that. I still haven't told her about my personal life.

But I don't want to tell her about Ben, I don't want to tell her what I've been through, none of that.

I don't even know what I want to tell her. I need to be careful of what I want to say to her. She's a cop. After all, being a hero during the night is not cop's work. I feel like a vigilante when I'm doing that.

I sighed and broke the silence, "Brooke?"

She looked at me and hummed, "Hmmm?"

I asked, "Did....Did you ever had kids together? You and Thomas?"

Her eyes went wide by the question and then I noticed her look and waved her with a hand, "Well...I just noticed that you haven't had kids or anything. So that's why I was asking. I mean, you guys have been married for fifteen years, right? So...I'm surprised you don't have any children."

Brooke softened her look and nodded, "Well me and Thomas did have one."

"What happened? Where's your kid?"

Brooke has a sad look on her face, "Well...We had a son and his name's Alex. He...He died when he was five."

I had a pity look on my face, "I'm sorry."

She waved me off, "It's alright. That happened about six years after me and Thomas got married. It...It was a long time ago."

Brooke took a deep breath and went on to her tale, "Alex was playing in the playground and Thomas was watching over him while I was out on patrol. But Alex was chasing a dog and he...Went out on a road and someone accidentally ran him over."

Brooke sighed, "That was the most horrible thing a mother could go through, losing a child. Even losing any family member would be tragic enough."

I had sympathy in my eyes, I knew how that felt. When mom and dad died in front of my eyes. It...Really was horrible.

Brooke said, "Ever since then, me and Thomas didn't want to have another child." She shrugged, "I guess we didn't want to go through all that ever again. But Thomas sometimes thinks about him and so do I."

Brooke sighed again and her voice kind started to tremble, "I sometimes wish I was there that day at the playground, so Alex would be alive right now. A mother should always be with her baby, not leave him alone. I don't blame Thomas for this, but it sometimes feels like it was my fault."

I thought she was going to break down in tears and I placed my hand on her shoulder, comforting her. Brooke smiled at the gesture and said, "Thank you, Jonas."

I nodded, "I can understand your pain. I...I know what that's like." I let go of her and placed my hand onto my lap.

Brooke scrunched up her nose and she asked, "What happened to you? Did someone die in your family?"

I sighed and only muttered, "Yes."

"Who?"

I shook my head slowly, "I...I don't want to talk about it. It's...Pretty sad." I took a deep breath, "I'll be honest, what happened to me, that's why I don't have a home right now. That's why I hitchhike." That was sort of one part of the truth, but it was good enough for me. Don't want to tell her about Ben and that he's a gryphon who's also my uncle. And I really don't want to tell her about what me and him were doing for a living during the night.

That's when I saw her expression change, she really felt sorry for me, "I'm sorry Jonas. If you don't want to talk about it, I-"

I cut her off with my words, "Sometimes I miss my home. Sometimes...I miss my family." I shook my head, "That's not true, I don't sometimes miss them, I REALLY do miss them. I miss my parents and everything."

I asked her after that, "Brooke...Can I ask you something?"

She nodded and I asked, "Why are you being so nice to me?"

Her eyes went wide and I elaborated, "I mean, why me? A stranger who walked into a town alone, and you've arrested me. Now all of a sudden, you're being nice to me. Why really?"

Brooke smiled at me, "Because you were just a kid who's living alone. I know you say that you're twenty one years old, but still...I felt bad for arresting you and that you feel like you don't trust me and the cops. You...Don't even have an ID. So that makes me wonder if you ever had a drivers license in your life."

I sighed and shook my head, "I'll be honest...I never had one. I...My dad tried to teach me how to drive, before...It happened."

Brooke then placed her hand over mine and said, "I can be honest...You really do look like a good kid. I still wonder why you're all alone though." She giggled softly, "I guess even after Alex died, I still have a motherly instinct."

I laughed a little and she said, "Jonas....Please...Talk to me. I want to help you and I think you need it."

I shook my head, "Brooke...I really don't want to talk about it."

"Why? You don't trust me?"

I sighed, "I'm trying, but trust is a hard thing to come by these days."

Brooke muttered, "Well I'm your friend, if you would let me. I mean." She placed a hand to her chest, "I can help you, but you have to at least talk to me. Imagine me as your mom, what would she do?"

My eyes went wide and my walls inside my head was about to crack open with tears. I turned my gaze away from her, "Brooke...Don't make it harder than it already is."

Then I got up from the couch and she hollered, "Jonas, where are you going?"

I sighed and looked at her over my shoulder, "I'm going to be gone for a while, so I'll be back later, ok?"

Before I could leave her she got up from the couch and stood right in front of me. Without hesitation she wrapped her arms around me for a hug. My eyes bugged out of my skull in surprise.

Brooke while her head was close to mine muttered, "Jonas....I know I don't know you that much. But...How about if I be your mother? At least give me a chance to help."

I nodded while she still had me in her grasp, "I...I know you are trying to help me. But...I'm not the person you think I am."

Brooke pulled her head back bit and she stroked my forehead, "You seem to be a good kid to me. And listen...I wouldn't judge you, if you told me everything about yourself."

I asked her, "Brooke...Did you really mean it?...When you said...'I can be your mother?'"

She nodded, "Yes I did. You're not a criminal, you're just a innocent child who has been walking for god knows how long."

I only muttered, "Far too long for my taste."

Brooke then kissed me on the forehead, "I want to help you, but you have to let me."

I let out a long sigh and said, "I'll think about it. Now...I really need to go."

She nodded, "I understand." She let me out of her embrace and said, "See you back home."

I nodded and then I walked to the front door, put my shoes on and went out.

As I stood out on the porch outside, I sighed to myself.

I'm sorry Brooke, but...This isn't easy for me.

I mean, I know that I've told Emma what happened to my parents, and the guys in suits. But hey it's seems enough for an explanation about why me and Ben are alone. Brooke wouldn't know what I'm talking about. About the guys in those suits. Hell, even I don't get it myself. I still don't get why they would want to kill me and Ben.

Brooke wouldn't know either and I think it's best I keep it that way. No need to bring it up.

After my moment of thought, I walked off the porch and went for a walk. Just to get away from this.

*****

I slept groggily outside April's house and I could hear her whisper near my ear, "Ben. Ben, wake up big bird."

I groaned and opened my eyes a bit and muttered when my hazy vision saw a person, "Cassandra?"

But my vision cleared and saw that it was April, giggling at me, "No silly. It's me."

I sighed and lifted my head off the ground and opened my beak for a yawn. I was done yawning and I looked at her, she asked with a grin on her face, "Do I look like your girlfriend?"

I giggled softly and said, "No...I was just dreaming about her. I thought you were her."

April had a pity look and asked, 'You really miss her, huh?"

"More than anything else."

April asked a more personal question, "Even love her up to this day?"

I frowned at her, "Can't love her that way if she's dead, you know."

April giggled and said, "Well ever since our conversation back in the woods, I can't help but think about it. I'm still surprised you were in love with Jason's mother."

I shrugged my shoulders, "Sometimes we have skeletons in our closet. That's a thing that's normal to some people."

She shrugged at that, 'Well maybe not everyone has a skeleton in their closet."

I grinned at her, "Well do you have one?"

She shook her head, "Not really."

I laughed and got up on all fours and exclaimed, "Not really? What kind of an answer is that?"

April laughed as well, "The best answer I can come up with, I guess."

I let out a big stretch across the grass and shook myself and my wings. They flapped a bit. I looked down at her, "So what's up? Because after we've got back home and ate, I was dead tired and wanted to sleep for today." I looked up at the sky and realized the sun's going down pretty soon. My eyes went wide.

Guess I must have slept a little longer than I thought.

April laughed again, "You began to realize that you are a heavy sleeper?"

I looked down at her, "I guess I am." I chuckled a bit.

April said, "Emma called and said she wanted to go swimming tonight at the beach. So she invited us."

I beamed at her, "Really? Well I guess I won't deny the invitation." Then I gave her a devious grin, "I'm sure you girls won't want to miss an handsome gryphon like myself, getting all wet tonight."

April rolled her eyes, "God Ben, you are really do have a bird brain."

I narrowed my eyes at her, "Humpf, well I'm just a handsome gryphon with a brain of a bird." Then my eyes went wide and I said to myself, "Wiat...That didn't sound right."

April laughed again, "You do have a bird brain!"

I shot a glare and muttered in embarrassment, "Shut up."

April stopped laughing and waved me off with her hand, "Oh I'm just kidding with you." She sighed and changed the subject, "So you want to go swimming? I'm going to change into my swimming clothes."

I nodded, "Sure I want to go. I'll wait out here when you're ready. I'm sure people won't see me in this time of day, most people would be sleeping by now."

April whirled around and head toward her house. She hollered when she jogged, "Be right back!" And after that I saw her enter her home.

I sat down on my haunches and sighed. I still feel bothered about...How I feel about her.

I've felt that feeling after our talk in the woods. After I've told her the truth about my feelings toward Cassandra.

And soon after that conversation happened, that's when I'm starting to like April that way.

I sighed in guilt and shame. I don't want to her to go through the same thing Cassandra went through, because of me. That I tried to kiss her.

I don't April to go through all that. I won't make the same mistake again.

But my mind is telling me to give it a try. To tell her how I feel.

It's not going to be an easy task, that much I know.

April came back wearing her swimming bra and panties on. She carried a towel over her shoulder.

I watched her body when she was bounding toward me. Looking at her...Breasts.

Ben, get a hold of yourself! Keep it in your pants!

April had a frown on her face as I was just staring, "Ben? Are you okay?"

I shook my head and put a smile on my beak, "Yeah, I'm fine." I hope she buys my bluff.

She had a quizzical look, "Are you sure? You were kinda giving me a weird look."

I shook my head again and got up on all fours, "No really, I'm fine. I just...Still have some sleep in my eyes."

She shrugged, "Well if you say so."

I lowered my body to the ground, inviting her to ride on my back, "Alright, lets go. But you're going to have to point out where the beach is at."

April nodded and said as she walked toward my back, "Understood." She got close to my back and hurled herself onto my back. She gripped the feathers and announced, "Ok, I'm ready."

I pushed myself off the ground and said, "Alright, here we go." I started to flap my wings and we were off the ground. High over the woods and the house.

Me and April could see the beautiful sunset as we're flying.

I hollered before I flew forward real fast, "Hold tight!" And with that we took off over the woods and she shrieked in happiness.

Now on to the beach.

I wonder if Jason's going to be there. I don't want to be the only boy there.

And maybe...Maybe I can tell him about my feelings toward Cassandra.

I should take April's advice that she gave me earlier today, just tell him the truth and don't feel guilty about it anymore.

I sighed as I flapped my wings against the wind. I hope, I know what I'm doing and I hope Jason doesn't despise me for loving his mother that way.

*****

I walked to Emma's house, the sun starting to sunset. I got up to her porch and knocked on the door.

I backed away from the door and waited, until Emma answered the door. She was wearing swimming clothes and beamed when she saw my face, "Jason!"

I grinned at her, "Hey there." That's when I had a frown on my face and gestured my hand toward her body, "Why are wearing swimming clothes?"

Emma got out of her house and closed the door behind her, "Well before my father would see me talking to you, lets walk away from here."

I was gonna ask why, but I didn't argue with her. I just went along with it. Me and her walked off the porch and away from her house. We were at a good distance away from there and I asked her, "Alright, what's going on?"

Emma let out a huff and said, "it's about my father."

A thought clicked in my brain and I said, "Let me guess...Your father-"

She finished for me, "Doesn't trust you? Yes."

I sighed, "Figures."

Emma had an angry scowl, "This morning, my dad gave me a lecture about you. He still thinks you're some kind of bad guy and he wants me to stay away from you."

I shrugged, "So what did you say?"

She grinned, "I told him, I'm not a little girl anymore and I don't need your permission."

I chuckled, "Tough girl you are."

Emma said, "Might as well be. I don't take what he says to you lightly."

I smiled at her, "Thank you."

She asked, "So what are you doing out here?"

Well, I wanted to tell her what happened to me today, especially with Brooke. But that'll come later. I said, "Well I just got paid today from work and..." I gave her a whisper, "I paid the gas station for all the things I've stole."

She beamed at me, "That's great! I knew you had a heart inside you."

I laughed and asked, "Did you already know that I had a heart when I comforted you, because of what your ex boyfriend did to you?"

Emma nodded, "Oh I already knew you always had a heart."

I nodded and joked, "Good, I better have on." Then she slugged my shoulder and I giggled.

I pointed at her swimming clothes, "You going swimming? The sun's starting to set."

She nodded again, "Yes I am. I already invited April and Ben to come along. So they should be on their way to the beach."

I grinned at her, "Ben's going swimming? I bet he'll be complaining about the salt water ruining his." Then I raised two fingers and twitched them, "Handsome feathers."

Emma laughed, "Well he's pretty vain about those things, so I'm sure he will complain."

I shrugged in agreement, "Probably."

Then she asked, "You want to come?"

I frowned, "Huh?"

Emma laughed a little at that, "To go swimming silly!"

My eyes went wide, "Tonight? But I don't have my swimming trunks."

Emma shook her head, "Oh me and April wouldn't care." She gave me a very devious grin, "Besides, maybe we want to see you naked."

My cheeks turned red at the statement. She laughed again when she saw my blush and pointed at my face, "Oh god, you're red!"

I muttered in embarrassment, "That's your damn fault."

That's when she grabbed my hand and urged me, "Come on Jason, it'll be fun. We hardly ever get to do this. It'll be all four of us alone."

I stared at her and my blush finally went away. I sighed. Oh the hell with it. Tomorrow after work, I'll go to the store and buy swimming trunks. That'll solve my problem next time we do this.

I nodded, "Sure, lets go."

Emma smiled at me, "Alright, follow me to the beach." And with that she walked past me and I trotted alongside her.

Well there wouldn't be any beach goers during the night and no one would see Ben, that's a good thing.

I grinned to myself. And no one else would see me naked as well. Now THAT'S a good thing.

*****

The sun already went out and the sky is now replaced with darkness.

Me and April saw the beach up ahead and went toward it. In the distance, we both saw April and Ben sitting alone together on the beach. The waves washing over the beach slowly.

Emma waved her hand while we walked and hollered, "Hi guys!"

They both heard Emma and turned their heads to look at me and Emma. Ben hollered, "About time you've showed up! We were waiting on the damn beach for a while now. Maybe an hour by now!"

April joined in Ben's complaint, sort of, "Yeah and me sitting on the sand was making my ass....Sandy."

Ben lowered his head to her level, his chin on her shoulder, "What kind of comeback toward Emma and Jason was that?"

April shrugged her arms, "I don't know, just being a dork tonight."

Ben raised his head off her shoulder and muttered, "Well guess what? You've succeeded of becoming a dork."

April shot a glare at him, "Can it, feather head."

That time, he glared at her, "You can it." Then she playfully swatted him and they both giggled.

Me and Emma got in front of April and Ben and I said, "Oh don't tell me you're going to complain now Ben. I didn't even know you guys were going to swim tonight, until Emma told me."

Emma rolled her eyes in frustration, "Yeah and not to mention my father kept pestering me about me going outside after dark alone. But I've told him a million times, I won't be alone." Then she pointed at me with her thumb, "Also too, my dad still doesn't trust Jason here."

Ben narrowed his eyes at her, "Your dad huh? Well maybe I should teach him a lesson about trusting someone."

I pointed a finger at him and glared, "Ben, don't even think about it. I'm fine and I can take care of myself. Even when it comes to the sheriff."

Ben looked at me and sighed, "If you say so. I just hate it when someone picks on you."

April got up on her feet and held out her hands, "Alright guys enough of this!" Then she put on a smile, "Time to get in the water now!" Then she swatted Ben on the chest and ran toward the water, "Last one in there is a rotten clam!"

Ben squawked and shot a playful glare at her, "That tears it, I'm going to drown you girl!" He got up on all fours real fast and ran after her. Both of them heading into the water.

Emma laughed and ran after them as well, "Don't start the fun without me!" I stood where I was and saw all of them splashing at each other with water. Even Ben is using his paws to swipe at the water in retaliation at April. More water coming at her.

Emma laughed and jumped onto Ben's back, playfully riding him. Ben squawked and Emma let out a high pitched laugh. April joined in. 

I giggled at the scene. I haven't seen Ben that happy for a long time. I started to take my clothes off, until I was in the nude. Don't care if anyone does see me, I'm getting in that water!

I made a running start toward the water, my feet in the cold water. Joining in all the fun my friends were having.

*****

Brooke went into Jason's room and sighed in guilt. I know that this is sorta wrong. But Jonas is not telling me everything.

He said a few times that he has been through a lot, but what? What happened to him before he came to Southport?

A couple of days ago, the sheriff told me to find out anything about him on Google, but I never found anything on him. No article at all.

It's like he's...A ghost.

I know the sheriff is getting paranoid and I know I shouldn't be snooping. But I want to know who he is. I don't think he's the bad guy like the sheriff does, but I still want to know.

I want to know what happened to his family and why is he alone. There has to be a reason.

She sighed again. God forgive me for this.

Brooke wandered deeper in his room and looked around, searching for any clues about him. She saw his bag on the floor. I suppose I could look through it.

She crouched down and unzipped his bag. She started to search through it. Until she saw a photo of three people on there.

There's one kid and two adults in the photo. The kid looks like he's eleven or twelve years old.

Brooke smiled at the photo. That must be Jonas when he was younger and that must be his parents.

I wonder if they know where he's at. Like maybe he calls them every once in a while.

Part of me doubts it though.

Brooke turned the photo over and saw words written on the back of the photo.

Brooke frowned when she read them.

Me and my wife Cassandra, along with our son Jason on his eleventh birthday.

Brooke's eyes went wide with curiosity. Jason? I thought his name's Jonas.

Why Jason? Why does Jonas have...Two names?

She turned the photo in her hand and looked closely at it. She could see a birthday cake in the photo and see the full name written on the cake.

Jason Morgan.

Jason Morgan?

Brooke shook her head. What's going on here? Is he Jonas? Or Jason?

Did Jason Morgan change his name to Jonas?

Hmmm, maybe I should look up Jason Morgan on Google. there might be something about him. No wonder I didn't fin Jonas Hemingway on the internet. But maybe Jason Morgan should be.

I'll get my answers. Well some of them anyways.

Brooke heard her husband Thomas enter through the front door of their house, "Honey, you home?"

Brooke hollered over her shoulder, "In here Thomas!"

She had the photo still in her hand and said to herself, "I need to show Thomas this photo. See what he thinks of this." Brooke stood straight up and whirled around and went out of the bedroom.

After this, I'll put the photo back into Jason's, or Jonas's bag, so he won't know that I went through his bag without him knowing.

Then after that, I'll look up Jason Morgan on Google and find out anything on him.

I want the truth. I want to know what's going on with him.
