 The Present

"We should be landing soon," Micah Sinclair mentioned ca-

sually as he placed out the window of Evan's private jet.

"it's been a while. I'm sure you're eager to see Hope and 

 your new nephew."

Evan lifted his eyes from his laptop and looked at

Micah, realizing the two of them had asked to hitch a ride

 with him Amesport from New York City because he'd let

 his own the company. Micah had a residence in New York;

Evan didn't but was there quite frequently on business, so

they met whenever possible.

As the eldest of the Sinclairs, Evan had the most in

common with Micah. They were both just entering their

mid-thirties, and, unlike his cousin's you're brothers,

Micah was blessed with business. Granted, his business

was extreme sports, but he took his bottom line and his re-

sposbilities families, Evan and Micah understood each other

when it came to what everyone else called "meddling" in

the business of younger relatives. He and Micah preferred

to call it "guidance," and neither one of them had ever felt

guilty about checking on the family. Maybe some people 

 would actually refer to how they handled things like spy-

ing, but Evan preferred to think of it as checking on the well-

being of his relatives.

Evan shrugged. "It's been over six months since I've

seen them, and I want to meet my nephew. I saw pictures.

He looks bald. That can't be normal. No Sinclair has ever

been harnessed. Our grandfather died with a full head of

hair." Their grandfather had lived to a ripe old age, and his

hair had been gray as long as Evan could remember, but he

hadn't had a single bald spot on his head.

Micah chuckled as he fastened his seat belt in prepara-

sion for landing. "He's not bald. His hair is blond, and it's

thin. He's a cute little guy. Hope sent me a picture to my cell

phone."

Evan preferred to think of it as checking on the well-being

of his relatives.

Evan shrugged. "It's been over six months since I've

seen them, and I want to meet my nephew. I saw pictures.
