***ETHAN POV***

A letter was brought back to the states, and I was told to deliver it to who it was addressed to. When I saw the names, I figured it was from Sammy. I knew he would want to let Kelsie know he made it.

Him being with Kelsie still shocked me after everything he and Jordan went through. They were together, they were planning a future, they were going to be together forever. She got killed and I understood that but to move on to her sister was probably the most under handed thing he could have done.

I arrived at their doorstep and ran the doorbell. I waited and then Kelsie opened the door and saw me. Her eyes filled with tears and she started shaking her head.

"No...not Sammy too." She said and I shook my head.

"No Kelsie, not at all. I actually have a letter here for you and your father. It was given to me by a seal that picked up the refugees. It's probably from Sammy." I explained and she nodded.

"Please come in." Kelsie said and we walked into the house. I saw her father sitting in his armchair.

"Mister Levin." He said and we shook hands.

"Mister Scofield." I said.

"Call me Ike, you know that."

"Than you know to call me Ethan." I said and smiled.

"Would you like something to drink?" Kelsie asked and I shook my head.

"No, thank you. I was here to deliver the letter and make sure everything was okay." I said and handed the letter to Kelsie and she ripped it open and pulled out the letter excitedly. Her face instantly fell.

"What is it Kels?" Ike asked. She passed the letter to Ike and he saw the first line and his face fell. I was concerned about everything and then Ike read the letter out loud.

"Dear Kelsie and Dad,
Don't panic reading this, hell I don't even know if you'll get the letter. This is weird writing this but I'm alive. Been alive the entire time. The past 6 months are hard to explain but just know it's no one's fault, I got shot twice and they thought I was dead but I survived. I don't know what Sammy has told you but I know he did. I also know he and Kelsie are now engaged. Fuck you Kelsie. You always had a crush on Sammy and you took your chance thinking I was out of the picture now. Listen, I'm not going to hash this out in a letter to you letting you both know I'm alive and you know after this I will have no contact.
I won't promise to make it home because as we know, it's always iffy but just know I have been alive this entire time. I have changed, things have changed, life has changed.
I love you guys and I hope to see you soon.
Love,Jo."

"Jordan's alive?!" I asked in shock and Kelsie just sat in shock. I saw her look down at the engagement ring on her finger.

"Dad..." Kelsie said and he just seemed like he didn't know what to do or say.

"I'm sorry to both of you. I didn't know what this letter entailed. I really thought it was from Sammy." I said and they just half nodded.

"Ethan, I need to write to her. I know its not supposed to happen -..." Ike was saying and I held up my hand.

"It's understandable in this situation. I will be back in a week to get the letter from you." I said standing up.

"I will be writing one too." Kelsie said. "Maybe one to Sammy as well." Kelsie said and I nodded.

"Of course. I wouldn't ask many questions though, you won't be getting answers. We can't be sending letters back and forth." I said and they both nodded. Ike stood up and shook my hand. I saw the tears in his eyes.

"Thank you for bringing this to use Ethan. Thank you for word that my daughter is alive." Ike said and I nodded.

"I know we declared her dead so I will go through the chain of command getting that all squared away and fixed." I said and they both nodded. I walked to the door with them both behind me and we said our goodbyes and I left.

Jordan was alive...something I would have to see to believe.

***KELSIE POV***

Once Ethan left I looked at my father.

"Jordan..." I said and he just sat in his chair re-reading the letter to himself.

"Kelsie, do you know what all of this means?" Ike asked and I half nodded.

"Dad...what does this mean for me and Sammy? I love Sammy." I said and Ike just slightly shook his head.

"I'm not saying you don't Kelsie but with Jo back you think Sammy isn't going to possibly fall back in love with her? I mean he suffered a loss when he thought she died and he never fully got over it. Now she is back and back in his life..." Ike said.

"No! Sammy is mine now! I intended to tell her that! He moved on! He wants me!" I said as my eyes filled with tears.

"Kelsie Nicole Scofield you listen to me right now! You stop acting like a spoiled little brat. Now you just found out your older sister is alive when we thought she was dead! Jordan is alive and I couldn't be happier! You need to stop being selfish. You know you moved in on Sammy when he was vulnerable and you will just have to accept whatever happens while they are there working together." Ike explained and I just stood there in shock but my tears were slipping from my eyes.

"I need to go write my letters. I have a lot to say to Sammy and to Jordan." I said and walked upstairs.

These letters weren't going to be short nor were they going to be the easiest to write.
