in deep conversation with two official looking men, he was talking intently and looked
over in my direction, our eyes met the two men turned and stared at me too, I knew that they
were talking about me my breath caught in my throat, then they were on their way over to me, my
instinct was to run but Morgan motioned to me so I stood rooted to the spot feeling like a rabbit in
the headlights. Morgan spoke first
“Jenna these two men have flown in from the States to find you, they are FBI agents and just want
to talk I have suggested they use my office and I will stay with you the whole time if you wish” my
heart was pounding this meant only one thing it was over
“do you mind if I see your ID cards before I go anywhere with you please” Morgan looked taken
aback but waited for the agents to do as I asked, I examined the cards as I had been shown by my
Uncle, unfortunately these two certainly seemed real of course I was just stalling the inevitable,
agents Hubbard and Tanner followed us as we went up to Morgan's office, he held my arm as he
could feel my trembling he would now be involved in this mess if I let him listen but for once I
didn't want to be alone so I just gave in and decided to let it all play out and then he could decide if
he wanted to run a mile or not. At the door Morgan asked the agents to go inside and to give us a
minute, he waited for them to be safely inside and then turned to me
“whatever happens in that room I will be here for you this is the beginning for us, a chance for you
to let me in, I saw the anguish in your singing tonight and whatever has caused you that pain I will
try and take it away from you, next time I hear you use your beautiful voice it will be singing with
joy, “he kissed me gently
“You looked wonderful up there mesmerising” I was shaking too much to register half of his words
but the sentiment came through and I smiled gratefully at him as we entered the room.
Agent Tanner who was obviously in charge took the lead and Morgan sat beside me holding my
hand in his lap
“ Miss White we have been sent to confirm your identity… by doing so you would be helping us
with our enquiries into a quadruple murder investigation that occurred four years ago” he paused
to gage my reaction, I tried for the poker face but my mind was doing somersaults, it was obvious
they were talking about my family and had information about who I was which means they must
be talking to my uncle which would therefore explain his lack of contact.
“Understand that without confirmation of your identity a man we have been questioning will be
charged in this matter” they had to be talking about Luca but why would he be charged, it was
time to speak I took a deep breath
“My name is Elisa Marcelli, daughter of Antonio and Louisa Marcelli of New York City my parents
were shot and murdered and my brother was killed in our home after a fire bomb attack, to which
incident I was witness, I was also meant to be in the building but by chance I was not, my uncle
Luca hid me away and then arranged for me to have a new identity and come to the United
Kingdom to protect me and keep it secret that I had survived. I have moved home every six months
since the day I arrived and can provide you with those addresses should you need them” I paused
as I felt my hand stroked gently, I looked fleetingly at the man beside me whose face was
registering the information, the murders made front page headlines all over the world and I could
see shock and realisation dawning in him.
“Thank you for being so direct, Miss Marcelli. Mr Luca Marcelli is in our custody and you are his
entire defence against the accusations” I interrupted
“How can he be accused of this when he loved my father and did everything to help me stay alive
why have you arrested him?” the agents looked at each other
“Miss Marcelli we believe your uncle is being set up by the people who did this crime, they
planned to erase the entire
