I get up from the couch then walk outside. I sit on the porch. Both Dustin and Kevin look at each other. They both walked outside. Dustin shut the front door. Kevin sits beside me. Dustin stands behind me. Dustin says. " I am sorry Katie. I did  not know how to tell you." I get up and turn toward him. "I ask him. " When did you find out?" Dustin takes a deep breath. He says. " Dad told me when I was eighteen." I hugged him. I say. " Before you joined the marines." Dustin hugs me back. He says. "Yes but I always had that feeling you were my little sister." I hug him tighter.  

I say " I always wanted a brother. That would explain why you are so protective over me." He lets go of the embrace. He looks in my eyes then smiles at me. I ask "Why were we separated when I was born?"  We go sit down on the porch. Dustin says "When you were little dad had to make a choice because mom was in danger. The man that had mom hostage claimed he was your dad. In order for mom to live dad had to let the man raise you. Dad agreed to the arrangement. The man took you and killed mom anyway."   I start tearing up.  Dustin says. "That's why I go to find dad because the same man that killed mom could have possibly killed dad." 

 I take a deep breath then look at Kevin.  I say "Please find him." Kevin kisses my cheek. Kevin says " Don't worry baby girl we will find him."   I put my head on Kevin's shoulder. I say " I trust you."  Kevin places his hand under my chin lifting my head so our eyes meet. I ask him. " What are we?"
