The Abbey:
Amelia was in the kitchen preparing the next order that was on the order wheel. It was a house special that had been ordered.

“Hey boss, I have a note here for you from a customer of mine.” Patty pulls the note out of her apron to hand to Amelia.

“I wonder what they want.” Amelia opens the note and starts reading it.

Patty starts picking up the order she came in to get. She notices her boss reading the note.

Amelia looks up from the note and back at Patty “What table is your customer sitting at?”

“Table twelve. The note was given to me by a young man with short light brown hair. He’s sitting with another young man with dirty blonde hair.” Patty knew the other guy was googling her. She caught him a few times watching her ass.

“Thanks.” Amelia finishes what she is doing.

She looks at her assistant chef “Jake, can you cover for me for a few minutes?”

“Sure.” Jake starts working on the next order.

Amelia takes her apron off and walks out into the restaurant, she spots the young men sitting at table twelve and walks over to them. As she is walking over to them, she notices they were waiting patiently for their meal. She knew she had a younger brother from her birth father.

Archie spots a woman with short red hair walking towards the table he was sitting at. She was taller than he remembered, but her facial features matched the woman that attacked his father. He was younger, but he could swear she was shorter.

He watches as she stops at his and George’s table. He looks at her face and then her eyes. She had the same color eyes as the woman that killed his father, but her eyes didn’t seem to have that wild look he saw in the other woman’s eyes.

“You wanted to talk to me?” Amelia looks at the young man with the light brown color hair.

“Yes, is there somewhere we can talk in private?” Archie didn’t think he should talk about what he learned about her.

“Not right now, I’m kind of busy with the lunch crowd.” Amelia knew today was going to be busy.

“How about later, because I need to talk to you. What I have to say might answer a few questions you have about your past.” Archie wanted to
talk to this woman.

“I close at eleven today. Can you come back then, so we can talk?” Amelia wanted to know what this guy had to say.

“Sure, me and my friend can hang around town until then. Until then, you might want to look over this.” Archie pulls out the photo he found of her and her twin being held by her mother.

Amelia accepts the photo and looks at it. It was her as a baby along with her twin being held by a woman with reddish brown hair. She noticed that the woman looked tired and proud at the same time.

Amelia has seen the woman from the photo her adopted mother showed her. She goes to hand it back to the young man.

“Keep it. I have some other things to give you later.” Archie had brought along a dairy that Amelia’s birth mother kept.

“Thank you. Consider your meal on the house.”

“Cool, does that mean we can get some wine to go with our meal too?” George was going to take advantage of their luck.

“Yes, but nothing too expensive.” Amelia didn’t want to be taken advantage of.

“Thank you. I’ll make sure we don’t abuse your hospitality.” Archie looks at his friend when he mentions that.

A smile appears on Amelia’s face as she turns and walks back to the kitchen. She does glance at the photo a few times.

“You know, if she is your older sister. She looks nice.” George couldn’t believe how cute Amelia looked.

“She’s, my half-sister.” Archie was thinking about the other woman that killed their father.

Their meal arrived a few minutes later along with a glass of wine. Archie was impressed by how good the food tasted. He also liked the wine as well.

“Man, your sister can cook.” George loved the food.

“You’re not kidding.” Archie liked his sister's cooking.

After they finished their lunch. Archie finds out that they didn’t have to pay anything for their meal. So, he leaves a hefty tip for their waitress. George and he go out and look around the town. They spot a retro arcade place that had all the original video games.

“Now, I can get used to this.” George was impressed with the place.

Back at the Abyss:
Amelia, her husband Ralph, Archie, and George were the only ones in the restaurant. George was over at a booth playing a game he bought at a pawn store in town. He has been looking for this old game for a long time. He figured Archie and his sister might want to talk in private. It was also nice of her to give him some dessert as well.

Ralph looks at the young man claiming to be his wife’s brother. Some facial features matched hers, but he was still skeptical about the two being related. His wife called him at work and told him about the meeting. She had already made arrangements with her mother to babysit their daughters.

Amelia looked at everything that had been shown to her by her brother. He also included a DNA test he had done as well. He showed her the results that she had done for her daughters. The results were from the same company that he used for his.

“Why after all these years are you looking me up?” Amelia was curious why this Archie person was looking for her.

“Because I never knew you existed. It seems our father was a royal asshole and your mother knew it. According to her diary, she suspected that
he was cheating with my mother. When she found out that he planned on killing one of you, she knew she had to do something to protect you. As much as it hurt her, she asked her midwife, the one woman she could trust to raise you as her daughter. She kept tabs on you as you grew up. As for your twin sister, she saw the abuse your father committed against her.”

“So, it's true?” Amelia had tears leaking from her eyes.

“Yes, and I think your twin was the one who killed our father.” Archie has been gathering as much proof as he could. He found out that anything about their sister was classified or removed right away.

“What do you mean?” Amelia was curious.

“When I was eight years old, a woman dressed as the Hatter murder our father in front of me and my mom. She looked like you, but her face
was covered in heavy makeup. Here’s a wanted picture of her.” Archie shows a wanted poster of the Mad Hatter Interpol had put out to all police stations.

Amelia looks at the wanted poster of her twin and was right when she thought it was her. She hands the poster to her husband so he could look at it.

“That still doesn’t explain why she was declared dead. I think we should find her and ask her what happened in the mental hospital she was sent to.” Amelia wanted to know why her twin did what she did.

“I agree and from what I have learned. She lives in New York. Where exactly, I don’t know, but I have some friends in New York that might be able to find out for us since she is an MMA fighter and runs a charity organization called Helping Hands.”

“What type of charity organization is that?” Ralph was curious about Amelia’s twin.

“The business helps the homeless and supports soup kitchens feeding the homeless. She’s in the process right now of building homes and apartments that the homeless can live in.” Archie was amazed at what his sister was doing.

“She sounds like she is trying to make up for her past.” Ralph thought what Amelia’s twin was doing was honorable, but questionable.

“Well, I would like to meet her and find out what happened to her.” Amelia wanted to know why her sister did what she did.
