Empty Fingers

The Ghost

Jason
We have been trying to find the ghost but can't seem to find any info about this mysterious man. He seems to disappear like he has never been there.

Anastasia
I was in surgery for a combined 12 hours today and I am finally getting my things together and notice something in my purse that wasn't there before. I see a message from Robert and he got a package as well. We both alert our bodyguards and they have us let them have the packages and they take them to scan them.

Jason
We got the packages scanned and they are wedding photos from both weddings. No one saw the ghost at Roberts wedding, Anastasia saw him at hers. We opened the packages and notice the wrapping has been written on. It was in Russian and we had to get it translated.

To my son on his wedding day, I kept copies of these and I wish you and your bride better than your mother and I had. It hurt to give you both away, but we made sure it was to a good couple.
We loved you so much we gave you up so you would be safe. Your father.

Anastasia's said the very same thing. Except that he would be keeping her safe.

Ray
The ghost was very cryptic about keeping Anastasia safe. He didn't write it on Roberts message. Carla got a message this time in English and it stated that she and I did a great job of raising Robert and Anastasia. It wasn't like the ones on the packages. It felt strange and there was something about it. We gave it to Arthur Welch to check it over.

Carla
The envelope reminded me of something old and it was eerie looking to say the least. I grabbed a tissue and put the thing in a baggie. This just scares me. Ray said that it wasn't the ghost at all. We know the ghost isn't trying to harm the children and he must be who he says he is. It seems to be their biological father. Apparently he is protecting them both from someone. He has to have someone helping him.

Ghost
I am watching from my home and see the views of my children's homes. I am very aware that both are being watched. Ray should have not tested the DNA after their mother was killed. It opened up things that had been closed when we left the babies for the Steele's to adopt them. We escaped our captors when were 14 and fifteen years old. Our babies were where we could easily grab them and we did. We headed to Montesano and the couple who I had heard we could count on to care for them and train them to defend themselves. Anastasia was trained but her size still makes her vulnerable to being taken. Robert is my size and knows how to kill someone easily. Now I have to watch him watch my children. He lost everything when we escaped. Now he is trying to take away what means the most to me. He made sure he took their mother away from me.

Bruce Duncan
I lost everything when I was caught after making a deal to sell those two babies along with Ariel and Candice I can't get near any of them now. Unfortunately the mother and father were able to find them and hide them from me. Ariel and Candice ran with them. I killed their parents in order to sell them at auction. I had no idea they were so resourceful coming from military families. Never saw them in any uniform. I wondered about their constantly running as a family though. Because the babies parents were Russian and couldn't speak or write English it was easier to keep them in check. But Ariel and Candace were another matter. It didn't take long for them to escape and get the others freed as well. I my men were badly beaten by all four of the teens.

Ariel Taylor
I finally am visiting Gail and Jason and Candice is joining me. They sent us to a boarding school out of the state. We had to keep a low profile after we escaped from our kidnappers. I am checking everything I can about the guy we helped save, I can't find anything. I found the Duncan's though. Both hide in plain sight, but can't be found. It makes me crazy.

Candice Jones
I am glad to be seeing Gail and Jason again. Our cousins have made sure we went to the right boarding school. We are well educated in all areas. It was hard but we are able to defend ourselves in so many ways, not just physically and mentally, but also electronically. We arrive on a private jet and are driven to our cousins home. We are going to be working undercover for our cousins. His boss has already okayed it because he trusts my cousins and her husband my cousin in law. Ariel is Jason's Cousin and I am Gail's cousin. We are here because we know who they need to protect Robert Steele and Anastasia Grey his sister from. We were black ops and then some. I might look like the girl next door but I have never been kidnapped again. Bruce Duncan and his wife Colleen are still trying to get things back up and running. But they can't find anything on his whereabouts. They do know that there's someone who claims he is Robert and Anastasia's father.

Alexander Androvich
I have been a ghost since I escaped from the Duncan's. Constantine somehow got caught up in all the human trafficking trying to find our children, someone made sure they were in a safe home, but never told us where they were at. They forced us to do as they wished and we did what we could to assure their safety. Had we known they were safe all along we would never had done anything for them. It wasn't the Duncan's who had them, but they know where they are now and are intending on harming them like they harmed Constantine after she killed those horrible women. I wasn't in time to save her. I visited her grave though. Ray and Carla gave her a good burial. I can speak English now, but I wrote the letters and notes in Russian so no one could read it.
