Having trust issues sure can lead you somewhere. But life had another plans for Moira Adams. She was a kid full of innocence and curiosity. But when she found out she had trust issues, she got sad. It was a struggle. Yet her parents were one of the most caring people in the world and they tried to understand their daughter. But when her mother gave birth to Stacey everything for Moira changed completely. Moira felt so attached to her little sister it was like she was the only one person she can trust with her whole heart. And Stacey loved Moira too. They were just the perfect sisters.

Their parents were dressing them in matching outfits. Moira started to trust her parents more and everything for her was getting better each day. One summer day Moira realized that she can be trusted too.
"Hey, Moira. Help me." Stacey said while pushing the bike their father bought her.
"Coming..." Moira answered running around the green backyard.
Stacey wanted to learn how to ride a bike, but she was afraid of falling. So Moira manifested as the bigger caring sister she was. She forced Stacey to climb on the bike and grabbed her arms for support. When Stacey started pushing the pedals, Moira slowly removed her hands from Stacey.
"Moira, I can ride a bike." Stacey sheered in pure joy.
"Good job, sister. I knew you can do this." Moira said proudly.

If only it was that easy for little Frank to be happy. His mother was an alcoholic and his father abandoned them while being only two. How does it feel for a little boy to know that his father abandoned him. Well, he didn't feel the need of a father. He just tried to live his life throwing rocks and making a mess. He didn't realize he was a criminal. He thought he was just a child who has different type of games from the other kids. Yet, it was so hard for him to love his mother. She changed houses and apartments, causing Frank to adapt everywhere they go. Always moving out, always struggling. One evening, little Frank got to the point where he just couldn't take it anymore.
"Up and down. I told you to brush them UP AND DOWN... Piece of shit!" Yet another of his mother's boyfriends shouted and hit Frank while brushing his teeth. Poor Frank fell down holding his cheek. His mother looked at him disappointed, while holding her cigarette and blowing out smoke. It wasn't fair to be treated like this, but Frank tried to move on anyway. Yet he couldn't put his anger in control the way he used to do before.

As Frank was slowly but surely growing up, he got angrier and angrier. But who can blame him. His mother was ignoring him all the time. Or at least that's what he thought. She was busy looking after her daughter and trying to live her life. Meanwhile, Moira turned out to be more concerned about reading criminal novels and watching criminal movies. She got lost in her world full of mysteries and cases waiting for her to be solved. She thought of herself as a detective. Yet, she was still a little girl. But it was enough for her to have only one mystery to solve. It was called life. So one day she decided something.
"Mom, dad, Stacey. I have something to tell you." Moira started playing with her big black tails, waiting for her family to listen.
"What's the matter, Moira?" Her mother asked curiously.
"I want to be a detective." She proudly declared.
"Oh, that's great, Moira." Her father said, thinking that she's going to change her decision someday.
"Dad, I'm serious."
"Wait, who are you?" He asked wondering.
"I'm Moira."
"No, you're not my Moira. I see a young lady standing in front of me." He said smiling at his daughter.
"Oh dad, I'm still the same."
"Do you realize how responsible job is that?"
"I've watched movies and I've read books. It's not like it's impossible for me. And for me it's important to use my trust issues for something good."
"Oh Moira, you're so smart." Her mother opened her arms for a hug and Moira ran to her.
