The right place?

[Carrie Leigh]

Carrie headed up the path to the house she'd got the address of.
This was the only lead she had, so it would hopefully be a useful one.
She hoped this was the right place.
Carrie knocked lightly on the door, then waited.

[Ian Hunt]

I head down the stairs.
Maddie didn't seem to be about.
Might as well get the door.
"Hello?" I say, opening the door to see a vaguely familiar girl on the step.

[Carrie Leigh]

"Hello." Carrie says coldly.
He looked different.
Older, than she remembered from the one time she'd met him.

[Ian Hunt]

I blink in surprise at her tone, wondering if I'd done something to offend a complete stranger lately.
"Er...do I know you?"

[Carrie Leigh]

"You could say that." Carrie says coldly, narrowing her eyes ever so slightly, taking an intimidating step forward, even though he was taller than her. "Christopher, Logan, Liam, Michael, Will, Ian."

[Ian Hunt]

I freeze in surprise.
I had no idea who she was, but she obviously knew who I was, and every fake name I'd ever adopted, and my real name.
"Who are you?" I say suspiciously.

[Carrie Leigh]

"My name is Carrie Leigh. I don't expect you to recognise me. Seeing as you don't give a fuck about the people you destroy. Although maybe the name rings a bell? Carrie Leigh? Do you remember me, Hunt?" She says, her voice filled with bitterness and hatred.

[Ian Hunt]

"Carrie Leigh...?" I repeat, then it clicks into place. "Oh."

[Carrie Leigh]

"Yeah...oh." Carrie growls, "Leigh, as in Nathan Leigh, as in the sister of your best friend who you slaughtered! Carrie as in Rowan's fiance Carrie, and Rowan's now dead because of you! Your own brother you sick twisted..." Carrie stops herself, drawing her wand. "I'm going to make you pay, Hunt." She says, deathly quiet.

[Ian Hunt]

"And I undoubtedly deserve it." I say, glancing above her wand tip which was pointed directly at me, to meet her eyes as I spoke to her, "But before you do anything rash, I did not kill Rowan. He was my brother. I would never hurt my little brother. Nate killed Row. I returned the favour. That's what happened. It was your brother who killed your fiance, the blame doesn't rest entirely with me."

[Madeline Speare]

I had left earlier that morning needed to finish up some things at work I hadn't left Ian a note, I thought he'd be okay. I get up the front steps seeing a girl I didn't recongize, she had drawn her wand. Oh no, "What's going on?" I ask moving quickly.

[Ian Hunt]

"It's fine..." I say quietly, not taking my eyes off Leigh, "Just go inside, Maddie."

[Madeline Speare]

I walk over to him, placing my hand on his arm,"What's going on?" I repeat.

[Ian Hunt]

"It's fine." I repeat, "Just something to-...sort out. Please, go inside." I say softly.

[Carrie Leigh]

Carrie surveyed the girl indifferently, before lowering her wand slightly.
She had no issues hurting him, she would get her revenge, but not in front of his...whoever.
"You're a lucky bastard Hunt." She mutters.

[Ian Hunt]

"Don't I know it." I say.

[Carrie Leigh]

"Are we going to continue this?" Carrie asked coldly, arching a bitter eyebrow. "Here? Or elsewhere?"

[Madeline Speare]

I take a step forward putting myself between the girl and Ian.
"First I'd like to know what's going on." I say drawing my own wand.
"I want to know who you are and why you're here."

[Ian Hunt]

"Maddie," I say, putting a hand on her wand arm lightly, "It's fine. This is-...let me handle it, okay?"

[Carrie Leigh]

Carrie ignores Hunt, saying to the girl. "My name's Carrie Leigh. And I'm here-..." She shot a nasty look at Hunt, saying exactly what she wanted to with that for my revenge. "...-He knows why I'm here."

[Ian Hunt]

"Yeah, he does." I say, coldly. "And he wants to know how you knew so much about him, thank you."

[Carrie Leigh]

"You mean how I knew your name...s, Christopher, Logan, Liam, Michael, Will, Ian?" Carrie snarls, hating him so much, "Oh, that's not the only interesting thing I know about you. I know an awful lot. Things you don't want anyone else to know. Things you don't want people like her," I nod lightly to the girl, "to know."

[Ian Hunt]

"Oh yeah?" I say, "I don't believe you. You're bluffing." I snort. "There's nothing I want to keep secret that badly. You know so much, I'm waiting to hear it."

[Carrie Leigh]

"Was that a challenge?" Carrie smirks.
Oh, he was going to regret this, hurting physically, she could lay off, but hurting mentally...too tempting.

Without waiting for an answer, she took a step forward, "I know about your recurring heroin addiction. I know you blame yourself for what happened to your real parents. I know you don't even know you're real surname. But I do. I know it, Mr Turner. I know exactly why you picked each of your fake names. I know that your real name is the same as your real father, except he spelt Christopher with a 'k' and you spell it with a 'ch'." Carrie pauses, she knew she'd been listing off trivial things until now, things unlikely to get to him.

"I know all about how you used to follow orders exactly, without thinking and how you regret every single tiny thing you have ever done in those orders. I know you've tried to kill yourself twice in the past year. I know what you said to Row that made her try to kill herself. I know why you said it."

She pauses again, here goes the big one.

"I know the worst thing you have ever done, you sick twisted fucker. I know all about that and it made me feel ill right to the core. You selfish, evil, bastard." She growls.

[Ian Hunt]

Without thinking, I grab hold of her and slam her up against the wall. "Don't talk to me like you know about that." I say hatefully, referring to the last thing she'd said. "Because you don't."
I drop her hastily, just realising what I'd done, "I don't care-...I don't want to know how you found out all that. I don't care who you tell. But I didn't kill your fiance because he was my brother. And I only killed your brother because he murdered mine. That is the truth, take it or leave it, but go away. Just get away from me and don't-...don't come anywhere near me again."

[Carrie Leigh]

Carrie smirks, knowing she'd hit a nerve.
And a very sensitive one.
"But you do care." She says, "You care so much you feel it might kill you. The shame, the guilt is eating you from the inside out. I'm glad. You deserve it. Not only because of what you did to me...and the people that mattered to me. But because of what you did. You deserve all that guilt and all that shame...your own flesh and blood, Hunt. That is sick." She smirks, then turns to leave. "I'll be speaking to you again sometime, I did enjoy this little chat of ours."
Before he can say anything, she shoots him one last glare, then apparates away.

[Ian Hunt]

I watch her leave, then shut the door with unnecessary force.
"Don't say anything." I say heavily to Maddie, not looking at her, and then start up the stairs, regretting answering the stupid door in the first place.

[Madeline Speare]

I glare up angerily at him. What else hadn't he told me? I bite my tongue resisting the urge. I just open the door and head out slamming it behind me.

[Ian Hunt]

I stop on the stairs.
You're going to lose her if you don't do something...
So what? Invite her to ask anything she likes? Tell her everything?
You've got everything to lose if you don't.
I turn, already telling myself I was being stupid, and run back to the door, opening it quickly and shouting out after her, "Maddie, wait!"

[Madeline Speare]

"Don't talk to me," I say angerily over my shoulder heading down to the gate wrenching it open."I'm going out for a drink." I turn to shoot him a dirty look."Don't follow me. I'll be back later." I say and apparte out.
