8. Ava and Aiden.

Present day....

--Dante's Pov--

I was sitting in a quaint coffee shop in the city when my tracker Gabriel arrived and took a seat in front of me.

"I want you to look into this female, her name is Faith Emerson. Go to the deed poll office if you have to but get me every information that you can find on her, including her childhood and where she was born, her family, go to her past schools she claims to have gone which she has on record and find out if anyone knows of her." I told my tracker Gabriel.

"I will, but do you have any indication that she and Avelyn might be related? But, sir, she does have a somewhat similar appearance to Avelyn." Gabriel inquired while casting a quick glance at the image I had provided of Faith.

I had good cause to think she was related to Avelyn, and I also had reason to think she was my Avelyn; if that were the case, I would make her suffer hard for leaving me and running away.

"I do, I also want you to follow her. I want to know where she goes and who she interacts with. I also want to know if she's dating anyone." I informed him.

There was no way this woman could have this many similarities to Avelyn and not be her, her hair, eyes and accent didn't fool me especially after she had let her guard down by dropping her accent and displaying an American accent.

Avelyn has no family here just as Faith do. She was also quite nervous in responding to my questions as if having something to hide.

If Faith wanted to play dumb and play a fool to catch wise, then I was one step ahead of her. Two can play that game.

"I'm on it." He stated before taking up the information I gave him and left.

I paid for my brunch and as I headed for the door and headed towards my car, I accidentally bumped into something or rather someone while glancing at my watch.

Glancing towards the ground I witnessed a small boy assisting another girl up off the ground as she began crying.

"Shh, it's ok." He cooed at her.

"You knocked my sissy over now say sorry." The little boy demanded, hugging a crying girl in his arms.

"Aiden don't be rude! I told you two not to run." A female snapped before turning towards me.

"I'm sorry, he can be very protective of his sister at times." She apologized, her eyes seemingly widening before I could see her cheeks ting.

Her chubby pink cheeks, flushed eyes, and pouty lips quivered as she gave me a shy glance before I knelt down to her level and apologized to her.

Seeing the way they looked and acted, I couldn't help but be surprised. Looking at the two, I frowned.

Odd.

"Do you forgive me?" I questioned her while getting a small nod as she glanced away from me before smiling.

I almost wanted to take her in my arms as I chuckled. While her brother was small and protective, she was shy and small. Not to mention pretty clever.

"Would you like a chocolate?" I offered her as she hesitantly nodded.

"Mommas say not to accept gifts from strangers." The small boy rambled on.

"That's ok, Aiden you can take it. As long as there's no nuts in it." The woman who seemed to be their mother spoke.

"Ok." The boy answered taking the chocolate.

"Thank you!" I ruffled both their hair having a tempting urge to. I had never felt this much urge to interact with a baby.

"Take care now." I said as the two looked up at me and smiled. I nodded towards the mother before leaving.

Weird.
