Just as I'm about to start going through the individual team files my systems get a hit on Mallory Jones. One known living relative, a sister named Lily Jones. She is a member of the Anderson team. No wonder Liam didn't want me to contact him directly. If the woman he loves is the sister of the person who might be my mother that means she would be my aunt.

I start digging into Lily's history and almost lose my dinner. The things she went through are insane! When I find her parents I begin tracing the rest of the family tree. I pause on one name though. A second cousin by the name of John Sorenson. Otherwise known as my father. I feel my face pale as I grab my phone.

My step-mother always said my mother was related to my father but I never imagined she was telling the truth. With the size of the family tree it just didn't make sense to search everyone when I didn't believe her. With a deep breath I dial Lynus. I need to talk to Liam.

*Call*

Lynus: Burrito

Sang: Willow

Lynus: I'm surprised to be hearing from you so soon. It's not even been a whole day yet.

Sang: I might have found something. I need to speak to Liam.

Lynus: If you'd like you can come to his house in a few hours. Most of his family will be gone then. I assume you know the way?

Sang: I'll be there. Thank you.

Lynus: Anything, anytime Sang. Anytime.

*End Call*

With that call over I decide to catch a short nap. I've been awake all night and I have a feeling I'm going to need all of my brain power soon. Not only with the possible finding of my birth mother but also this broken family.

Something went wrong two years ago and now I need to help fix it. Uncle and the Academy are counting on me. As I drift off I finally make the connection as to why this mission means so much to him. These are his nephews. This is his family.
