Sweet Sister | Barry Allen [ 1 ]

Chapter 10

Caitlin

I sat in the chair looking at the computer screen. The picture was big enough that I couldn't look away.

Barry had finally brought in the picture of the guy who was in the alley. It took me a while to realize who the guy was but as I continued to stare sure enough I realized it was Josh. I looked at the picture over and over again and realized I should have known it would be him. After seeing Lana at the bar I should have known Josh would not be too far behind. Where one went the other was sure enough to follow soon enough.

A couple of years after Lana left I had bumped into Josh and he had told me how he had seen Lana and how they remained in touch. He told me a little of what she's done since she joined that organization. He told me how she had helped him get in contact with his birth family in Gotham years ago. He was the only contact I had with her aside from her letters.

And now I look at the videos of this woman who's beaten Barry these past few days and I realize it was Lana. I watched as she moved so freely and all I could think of was that this was what she's been doing since she left home so many years ago. She's become a killer and a person who we stood up against.

Now everything is beginning to make sense now. I needed to talk to her to make sure she laid low, maybe even stop her from doing this, at least here before it was too late. But I also wondered what she's actually doing here. I mean she got a job bartending here. If she was here on a mission she would not have wasted her time in getting a job.

Knowing she's here makes me worry about who else will follow after her or what will happen now that she's here. I wondered how long it would take before bodies started showing up. Barry wheeled around his chair until he finally stopped and stood up. Barry looked at me then spoke up.

"So apparently Joe found a lead with this guy we're after the one who found the girls weapon" he says "The police has been after him for a while now"

I break eye contact and look down to my keyboard and pretend to type something. I could feel his eyes still on me as he continued to speak.

"Her name is Lana Snow" he finally says

I quickly looked up and met his eyes. I closed them and took a deep breath. I knew someday someone would find out. I tried to keep it a secret so I wouldn't have to explain anything to anyone. Even though she ran so long ago I couldn't help but to protect her.

"Why didn't you tell us you had a sister" he says to me

I stood from where I sat and took another breath, "I haven't seen my sister for a very long time I thought I would never see her again so I just thought not talking about her was easier than having to explain this" I say

Barry looked away and looked to face me again, "But you saw her at the bar and you still didn't say anything" he says

"Wait, the cutie bartender is your sister?" Cisco asks smiling wide
