Pink Beauty were in there. Dad looks blue and has dried up blood all over him.
“What happened? And where is Mom?” is all I can manageto get out. I can’t
even bother to cry. “He had a heart attack and yourmom didn’t know what to
do.” Lylot tells me. Key looks devastated, but shestill is not crying. She sits and
holds her bitten hand. “Yesterday, he had a strokein the car caused by the fire
that he had seen. The doctor told us to tell you ourselves,because he was sad
that he couldn’t save him.” Lylot said to me and Key,in the most heartfelt way he
possibly could. “He’s gone.” the dude said and thenlooked down. “Who are you
and why have you been following us?” I say with atemper due to my father figure
dying. “You don’t recognize him, Tanalya? The raid,The shootout, drugs?.” Lylot
stopped there because I finally caught on. My eyesstart to water and I run to the
waiting room. “I can’t believe I forgot I had a brother.It's been so long, 12 years.
12 years since I've seen my biological parents, and12 years that I've been a
mother.” I say outloud to myself not caring who’slistening. Mom runs up to me
because she heard me. “Did you know?” I asked her.She may be confused but
at the moment I'm not thinking straight. “Your fosterparents told us never to bring
it up. Carl has kept in touch with us, but he wasafraid you guys had forgotten
who he was.” Mom says without any remorse. I can'tbelieve her so I say, “Well
your dog is dead. I guess it's a win-win. Go checkup on Key.” Then I go cry in
the car.
