The sun shining through the window wakes me up as it rises above the horizon. With a groan, I roll off the bed onto my feet and head straight to the bathroom.

After first relieving my bladder, I step up to the vanity, turning on the water to brush my teeth.

Putting the toothpaste on my tooth brush then into my mouth, I look at myself in the mirror as I brush vigorously.

I’m starting to notice little gray hairs starting to sprout just at my temples. Fuck! I’m not old enough for gray hairs yet!

At least, I personally don’t think a man in his mid thirties should have fucking grey hair. It must be something that I got from my fucked up father.

I finish brushing my teeth and turn the shower on, getting straight into it. Not wasting much time, I’m done within ten minutes and get dressed just as quickly.

“Morning, Ringo.” Snake’s voice stops me as I’m crossing through the room so I turn to where he’s having a cup of coffee at a table.

“What’s up man? Did the search find anything?” I ask slowly.

“It did actually. I printed it all out for you to look through. I’m fucking beat. I’m finally caught up on all the tax shit for the club businesses though.” He says, handing me a folder.

“Why are you doing the taxes anyway? Thought...we had an...accountant?” I ask, taking the folder from him.

“We did. We also have the twins to thank for no longer having one.” He rolls his eyes.

“They slept with...her?” I ask, raising my brows.

“Yes, at the exact same time and the husband caught them.”

“Fucking hell.” I shake my head.

“They’ll wish they were in hell instead of here once the Prez gets through with them.” He says, carrying his cup over to the counter and leaving it there to be cleaned up by the prospects.

“So what did you find?” I ask, opening the folder in my hand.

“Her real name is Kimberley Baker. She’s thirty one years old. Her records are a little spotty though. I can trace where her mother died and she was in the care of her father but her father went to jail when she was really young.

There’s no mention of her in the court records during that time. I have no idea where she would have been as there was no other family listed. She pops back up on the radar when she is eighteen. That record shows her coming into a hospital with labor pains. She gave birth to a little boy but only twelve hours later both she and the baby are gone without a trace.”

“What about school records?” I ask, truly confused.

“There are none past the age of nine.”

“How can a child go missing without anyone knowing, pop back up to have a child then go missing again for thirteen years?”

“I was wondering the same. The biggest question would be; Why?” Snake says.

“What about her father? Where is he now?” I ask.

“As of a year ago, he was South of the border. His records are huge. He’s on the Feds’ radar as a person of interest in a huge child trafficking ring out of Venezuela.”

“Fucking hell!” I growl.

“Yeah. So I can only assume at this point, considering what little we know, that he might have sold his own daughter before going to jail.”

“What was he in jail for and for how long?”

“For possession of meth. They released him six months later.”

“Thanks for doing this.” I nod at the folder.

“No problem. It would have gotten done either way.” He shrugs. “I’ll let the Prez know what I found. Right now, I’m going home to let my wife have her wicked way with me then I plan to give my pillow some head.” He grins, heading to the door.
