I open the door to my house, and see my mother on the floor with blood coming out of the side of her head. "MOM! Are you alright? Please, just answer me.. please." I yell.

They asked me questions such as: "Where were you at 2:30?" and "Do you have any other family members or close relatives?" "Of course I don't" I would answer. Then they asked me something I really did not want to answer. "Where is your biological father? Is he alive?" I had to explain that I hadn't seen my father 8 years, and that he was an alcoholic. I didn't know where he was or how they could find him. The only thing I could say was his name, which I could barely get out of my mouth. "All I know is that his name is James Mere." They paused and responded. "That's all we need to know..."
