Risks

My whole life has been a lie. Just the other day I found out potentially the biggest secret of my life. I didn't find out because my parents told me. I found out because they died. And when I was sitting in that investigation room, being questioned about their death, they didn't call me an orphan. They referred to me as someone's child still. When I asked them who's child I was, they said they didn't know. And that's when I realized, I was adopted. And that was only the beginning. No one ever mentioned that the people who adopted me? Yeah, they were protecting me. From what? I have no idea.
