the phone rang and I picked up the phone."hello, with Samantha Kingsburg"."hello, I'm deputy chief Marks from The Boston homicide department ". A man on the other end of the phone said with a strict voice, it sounded like a twenty year old with a very bad cold."ooh okay, how can I help you"?"well, I'm sorry to ask you it like this but we found your brothers ID on a dead body and ....". I didn't hear the rest of what the policeman said. I dropped the phone and fell to my knees like they do in movies, but this was all to real."hello? Hello, miss are you still there?". I picked up the phone but I couldn't stop crying."I know it's a lot to take in but we need you here to identify his body". The man said showing no emotion."okay"was the only thing I could say before I hung up. I walked like a zombie to the big chair in my living room." why?".

After crying for almost 4 hours I regained some sanity. "They only found his ID, maybe it's not him". I said to myself." I'll just go there and it won't be his body, his wallet probably got stolen again, he is terrible with stuff like that". I led myself to belief.

So I got on the train from manhattan to Boston. I couldn't think straight so I don't remember much from the train ride, but in Boston the cabbie was so rude. I asked to go to the police station and the guy said no. "What? Why not?". I asked. "Well dolly, I don't like the cops, so I don't go near them". I don't know why but I snapped. " okay asshole listen, I need to go there because there's a change that my brother is in the morgue there. so you better go right now or I'm gonna take my rusty pocket knife and I'll stab a bitch. got it?"." Damn bitch, calm the fuck down. I'll go, okay? Jeesh"." Thank you". I said with the cutest voice possible, which freaked him out even more.

at the police station I got a visitors pass. I don't know why, but I didn't like that, maybe because I was here to look at a dead person and they gave me a visitors pass like I was visiting a theme park." Miss kingsburg?". I heard a familiar voice coming from behind the pilar in the hall, it was the deputy that called my earlier that day. He wasn't as young as I expected him to be. He was about 45, 5"6', had deep crows feet and frown lines and had greying hair."please if you could follow me "." yes of course". I said as we reached the staircase going down. my confidence that it wasn't Alec fell with every step I took." It's not him, but what if it is him. And what if it's not him how did his ID get on someone's body?" I thought as we approached the morgue. The smell was so bad and it was so cold, like I stepped into a freezer(which is technically true). in the morgue I saw three bodies lying on metal table and covered with sheets. deputy Marks led me to the very last body of the three and a person of the morgue staff walked in." Miss kingsburg? I'm Adam Langley the chief medical examiner here". He was about 30 with raven black hair and a face with square features, but still gave the impression of a baby face." miss are you ready or do you need a moment to prepare"?"no I'm okay. I just want this to be over with"." Okay miss, here we go". mister Langley said as he lifted the covers. I was shocked to see what was lying on the table.
