Jordan smiled at Zoe and caressed her little fingers. "Yes, she is. I'm very glad she's too young to know what's going on." Zoe began to fuss, and Jordan cradled her against her chest so she could breast feed.

Logan smiled, loving the way Jordan was such a good Mom. "You really have a knack for being a mom."

Jordan smiled and squeezed Logan's hand. "You're a great dad but let's face it, she's got us both wrapped around her little fingers." I chuckled and looked down at Zoe.

Logan laughed. "That's for sure. I'd do anything for my baby girl and her mom." He said affectionately and watched his family with pride.

Once they finished breakfast, they headed back to the workshop so they could put Zoe down for a nap and they could take a nap themselves.

Jordan and Logan snuggled together in bed and were asleep in no time.

Everyone in Sandrock was busy and didn't notice the man getting off the train that just pulled into Sandrock. Wei whistled softly, heading toward the Blue Moon, just as they planned and as he approached the doors, he put himself in the role of the upset brother and went inside.

Wei approached Owen who was putting clean glasses away behind the bar. When Owen looked up at him, he nearly fell backward when he saw Wei.

"What the hell? Yan? You're supposed to be dead; I mean I thought you were dead." Owen stammered, looking at Wei as if he'd seen a ghost.

Wei grinned, holding out his hand. "I can assure you I am very much alive, and I am not Yan. I'm his twin brother Wei. I heard about my brother and came to see for myself if that no good varmit is really dead. So, tell me all about it." Wei asked, sitting down at the bar.

Owen stared at Wei, still not believing what he was seeing. "He was stabbed at the Commerce building. He's been buried at the cemetery, if you want to visit him. He never mentioned he had a brother but then I never really talk to him."

Wei sighed, nodding. "We never really got along, and he also tried to kill me, the no-good creep. He was actually impersonating me. I was supposed to come here as the head of the Commerce Guild but Yan decided to get me out of the way so he could take over himself. I heard he owed people money. You think that could be why someone offed him?" Wei asked curiously.

Owen shrugged and put the rest of the glasses away. "I suppose that could be it. He pissed off a lot of people so there could be multiple reasons for it. How did you hear about this?"

Wei grinned. "It wasn't hard when Lefu was arrested and brought here. I had heard he was wanted for questioning in Catori's death but then when I heard Yan had gotten it too, I figured it would be the same person. Lefu though wouldn't even waste his time with Yan. As much of a dick as Lefu is, even he thought Yan was an idiot."

Owen had to chuckle. "Pretty much everyone in Sandrock thought so and I doubt any of them are grieving over his loss. I mean, it's horrible what happened but Yan didn't have any friends here so it's doubtful anyone cares. Even Catori didn't have many friends."
