“So, what do you need me to help you with?” I asked.

“I don’t really need any help. I just wanted your company.” he said, his usual mischievous smile on his face.

“You really need to stop these schemes Solomon. If you want my company why don't you just say?”

He looked back up at me, his gaze drifting slowly over my face until his soft indigo eyes settled on my mine, searching deeply for the permission to say what he wanted to say. But after a short silence he looked away.

“I don't know” He said quietly as he focussed back on to the computer.

A ripple of fear ran along my neck and down my spine. What did he want to say? I thought, almost daring myself to ask him. What did that look mean?

Solomon was the best friend I had had in a long time and I know I was just as good a friend to him as he was to me, he had already confirmed so much. He never had reason to shy away from saying what he wanted to. But he sometimes did and, just like now, he would look at me in a way that suggested he felt slightly differently. I didn't really know what to expect from a boy if he wanted more than a friendship, but there was a look he would sometimes give me that reminded me of the way Charles would look at Rachael when he thought no one was watching him. If I were honest, the way he looked at me made me feel good inside. I just didn’t know how to handle the fact that he may want more, although there was a part of me that wished it were true. A part of me that even may have felt it too on occasion, but there was a larger part of me that knew it was a bad idea. Relationships broke up all the time, and I couldn't lose Solomon like that.

“What’s with all the hardware,” I said swiftly changing the subject “I didn’t know a charity needed such high powered computers.”

“I’m not sure. But I know the systems store a huge database of information from all the local orphanages, hospitals, rescue services and other organisations that work in the public service industry. And you know what else” he said turning on the computer in front of me “They don’t only store the information, but they can actually access a lot of these organisations systems directly. What was the name of the orphanage you were in?”

“Vincentown’s Ray of hope.” I said rolling my eyes. Solomon chuckled and then, he opened one of the computer’s programs, and typed the name in. After a short wait the results page came up with the orphanages name, Solomon clicked it and then a faux web page for the orphanage appeared. I stared at the computer in awe. I couldn’t believe all this time Solomon had worked somewhere that possibly had access to the information that could help me find out more about the facility and Dr Q.
