Nine years ago...

"It's done." Stated the tall black haired man. He wore a dark suit, it had the statement of wealth but the force of power that came from his presence spoke of an edge and stealth that could only be accompanied with danger. The elder man behind the desk looked up from the folder that had been placed on his desk by the mysterious man. "Your sure?" The elder man replied unconcerned meeting the young mans steel gaze with his own. "I want to be sure no trace can be brought back to myself." The younger man had a look of not only disgust but impatience in his features. "My references stated the high profiles and jobs I have done in the past, not to mention my skill set." He paused letting his words sink in. "My work is flawless." The elder man looked pleased and proceeded to pour himself and the mysterious man a glass of bourbon. "To a job well done." The old man grimaced "And partnership." The younger man smiled. "Your live invest will be handled and cared for." He clicked his glass against the elder mans. "Just make sure to have my monetary installments on time." Two men of different walks of life, were sealing a deal with a glass of Hirsch Reserve. The plan was already in motion. The deal had been sealed. It would forever change and effect the people upstairs and someone a continent away....


The next morning....

"No!" Gasped Veronica falling into the parlor sofa. "George, it can't be true!" She pleaded to her husband. "Its not true, its not true." She kept repeating to herself. I looked between my parents, Mother was loosing it and was going to faint any minute. As for my Father, his countenance said anything but a grieving Father. "I don't believe you." I stated. "I would know if he was dead." I replied even more firmly. Looking my Father unafraid in the eye. "I would know if he was dead." I said again. "And he's not!" I had never disagreed with my Father before...  If he wasn't going to provide the answers to account for my brothers disappearance. I would find them on my own... If only I had known all evidence would be washed away and hidden safely within my reach, not to be found till years later.
