Miguel

No way.... Impossible

She's supposed to be dead

My little sister

But she was just sitting right in front of me

She looks just like mom.

I'm speeding home running red lights. My uncle is going to kill me for that.

My mind is running a mile a minute

Finally getting home jumping out of the car rushing to the door and running inside.

"Family meeting" I yelled pacing around the living room

I hear the footsteps of my brothers coming from all different directions of the house seeing each one of them appear in the living rooms.

"What's wrong Miguel" says Daniel

"Everyone sit" I said pulling out my phone and calling my uncle.

"Hello what's wrong mijo"

"OK, listen everyone this is going to sound crazy but I think I just saw nuestra hermana pequeña" (our little sister)

Daniel my older brother shot up from the couch stalking towards me.

"What the fuck are you talking about Miguel???"

"There was a girl I met today she had a locket with the word honey and graved in it. She looks just like mom and her name is Iridessa."

They all looked at me and shocked with wide eyes.

Arturo stood up from the couch.

"Was her hand wrapped?" I nodded my head.

Arturo 's eyes went to Angel "the girl you met on the train. Izzy."

"Arturo, you've met this girl before?" Arturo came to the phone taking it from me.

"Yes, the girl I was telling you about that I met on the train that's her uncle."

"Boys just relax I'm going to make some calls and figure this out, ok?" 

"Los amo chicos"(love you boys) uncle said.

"Te amo más"(love you more) we said he hung. And we sat in complete silence processing what's happening.

I turn to Arturo and ask "what she's like since you've spent the most time with her"

Arturo began to explain his time with her it's been a while since I've seen him smile this much.

She seems sweet. A few hours went by before we ordered dinner, we began to eat it was almost midnight before uncle came home with a yellow folder

He looked exhausted

He took a slice of pizza and ate it before he spoke

"Iridessa Honey Young" he said opening the yellow folder and turning it towards us

"Born November 8, 2011

She was found outside Chicago Memorial Hospital at the age of 6 birth certificate in her back pocket

She told the doctors she was in a car accident and she wander until she came across the hospital she suffer a serve brain injury causing her to have no recollection of memory prior to the accident.

She had been placed in a total of 9 foster homes since the age of 6 and is currently being fostered by Mary Marshall in Chicago, Illinois.

She seems to have a lengthy criminal record that was expunged a year ago."

"Our sister is brave and smart." Daniel said

"What the hell" my younger brother Eric said "We can't confirm it's her just off that."

"Yo Chris, you remember the favor you owe me ask your dad to run a DNA test between my father bloodwork samples and a girl name Iridessa Young ok thanks." Luis hung up the phone.

"We all needed physicals going into a new school year. Why not run DNA test." said Luis, "the results will be in by afternoon the lab is closed already."

Chris Anderson's father was our father's doctor.

We cleaned up and all went to our rooms, but I know none of us are going be able to sleep tonight knowing that our sister could be close by.

Knowing the grief of losing her was for nothing when she's been alive and suffering on her own all this time mi hermana pequeña (my little sister) ....
