Regardless of which news program they chose, they all showed the same news; After 13 years of absence, Dr. Lisa M. Loud would return to earth after having served her sentence on the moon, the news covered everything from her entry into the atmosphere to the results of her medical examinations, and du -During the press conference, all kinds of questions were heard regarding his work, his research and contributions to the space program, it seemed that the scientific part was the one that carried the most weight, but it did not take long to hear questions about of her crimes committed and the verdict of that famous trial years ago, and now that she was a free woman, they questioned her what she would do for the rest of her life, to which she only replied that she had paid her debt to society, and now she would dedicate herself to being happy with her family, as well as making the world a better place one step at a time.

At the end of the interviews, Lisa gave her last report to GASA, returned her uniform, and took a suitcase, full of her only belongings, the only things that by law the government and GASA could not take from her due to her years of service. For Lisa, that procedure was similar to when an inmate signs out of jail and in a way she was right; She finally crossed the fence that marked the limit of the facilities, and took a deep breath of the air of freedom for the first time in a long time, until the sound of a horn brought her out of her trance, it was her brother Lincoln, who was waiting for her on board of a van.

-Greetings Earthling- Lisa joked -Take me to your leader.

Lincoln laughed out loud.

-Long life and prosperity, Alien girl- she said while with tears in his eyes, he threw herself to hug his younger sister tightly.

After carrying her things up, Lisa got into the van and they began the journey back home, and along the way, the two brothers took the opportunity to catch up.

-No one else could come?- Lisa questioned after a while, with a worried tone.

-If they wanted to come, but they had to stay to prepare everything for Thanksgiving, which will also be your welcome party- he answered with a smile.

-It's true- she said surprised -the celebration of gratitude to abundance will be held shortly, in space it is easy to lose track of time- she finished with a smile.

-Well, that's the way it is, and this time, we have prepared something very special- Lincoln told him excitedly -Last Christmas we met in a cabin in the middle of the snowy forest, and it turned out so well that now we look for a new secluded place so as not to upset anyone with so many people, and in the end I have found the perfect place- he said with particular pride -this time, we will host the family in a hotel in the forest.

-Wow, really? That sounds very expensive- Lisa replied surprised.

-It was a bargain belongs to one of my clients- Lincoln proceeded to explain -due to soil erosion, the hotel threatened to split in half, so the best option was to demolish it to build another- there was a pause uncomfortable -but it's still safe and habitable ... for now- I quickly clarify -that's why the Loud family will be your last guests before that.

-I understand, even so, I am surprised that you have a client with such purchasing power.

-Well, in part I think that was thanks to you- Lisa was intrigued by her brother's words and Lincoln continued -after your trial, several law firms looked for me to hire me, I needed money and I ended up accepting on the sole condition of that I myself would choose my cases, it was something good that I could get out of all that- noticing his nostalgic tone, I try to regain my spirits -in addition, after defending you, all the other trials have been simple- he finish with a smile.

Lisa was glad to hear that her brother had benefited from it all, and seeing his smile, she was only even more sure of what she should do now that she had returned.
