Manor House, Ravenstonedale, England.
Archie was looking through the items stored in one of the buildings they didn’t use anymore except for storage. He spots several paintings taken from the house and put into storage. He lifts the cover of one of the paintings and saw it was a portrait of his father’s first wife holding his half-sister.

He could still recall the day she broke into the manor house and killed their father. The crazy look on her face and the bloody knife she had used. Before anyone could do anything to stop her, she jumped through one of the stained-glass windows and disappeared.

He finds a trunk that was locked that belonged to his father. He manages to use one of the keys to open the chest. When he opened the trunk, he found that it was loaded with books and files. One file caught his attention because it was in a hospital envelope.

When he opened it and reviewed the contents, he discovered that the file contained his half-sister’s birth certificate. It also included another birth certificate as well. It belonged to his half-sister’s twin. He digs through the trunk and looks for any pictures of his half-siblings.

The only one he finds while looking through everything was a picture of his half-sister when she was a baby. He also finds the death certificate issued by the mental hospital his sister supposedly died at. He knew that wasn’t true because he had heard rumors about her killing people in London and elsewhere.

He gathers all the paperwork up and takes it back to his bedroom. He was going to locate his sisters and bring them together. He scans all the paperwork and stores it on a portable hard drive.

Later in the evening, while eating dinner with his mother and new stepdad, he looks at his mother, “Mom, I wondered if it’s okay with you and Dad. I want to visit America with some friends of mine during Summer break.”

Arthur looks at his stepson. “What has brought this on? I thought you and your friends planned to stay in England this summer.”

“That was the original plan, Dad. But we discussed it and want to see some bands and places this year.” Archie couldn’t tell his parents why he wanted to go to America.

“I don’t know. You’re still under twenty-one.” Maddison looks at her son.

“By a few months, Mom.” Archie knew he could go without their permission, but he respected his parents too much to go against them. Also, they would be footing the bill for his flight and stay in America.

“True. Let me and your father talk about it, Archie.”

“Deal.” Archie feels his mother will agree.

The Abbey, St. Ives, Cornwall, England:
Amelia couldn’t believe how busy they were. She was glad that the lockdown had been lifted. It had hurt her and her husband’s pockets badly.
She did everything she could to keep as many of her staff working. They had gone from eating at the restaurant to a pickup and delivery place during the lockdown.

“Hey Amelia, when did you do MMA fighting?” Charlie looks at his boss as he takes his break.

“What are you talking about, Charlie?” Amelia looks over at her childhood friend.

“I’m talking about this.” Charlie gets up, walks over to Amelia, and shows her the fight he just watched on YouTube.

Amelia watches the fight and notices the red hair woman fighting looks identical to her. She watches as the woman knocks out her opponent with her fist.

“That’s not me, Charlie. I haven’t been out of England except on my honeymoon with Arnold.” Amelia must admit that the woman she had just
watched looked like her. Amelia hands Charlie his cell phone back.

“That’s not all.” Charlie brings up a picture of the woman with a handsome man standing next to her at a social event.

“What now?” Amelia finishes cooking the order and puts it up to be carried out.

“This.” Charlie shows the picture to Amelia the image.

She couldn’t believe how much the woman looked like her. She had the same facial features and hair hairstyle.

“Where was this picture taken?” Amelia was curious.

“It says here that the picture was taken at SONY HALL. New York, NY.”

“When was that picture taken?” Amelia was curious.

“A year ago. It says here that her name is Aylin Jagger, and she owns Helping Hands Outreached.” Charlie looks up at Amelia.

“I might call my mom and see if she is of any relation to me.” Amelia knew she had been adopted.

Her parents had told her when she turned fifteen years old. It initially shocked her, but she realized she was always different from her siblings and cousins. No one in the family had her looks or hair color.

Charlie saw what time it was. “I better get back to work.” He tucks his cell phone in his back pocket.

Amelia watches as Charlie walks off and returns to his spot on the line. He was a good line cook, and she was glad she managed to keep him during the pandemic. She goes back to cooking the orders coming in.

Helping Hands Outreached, New York:
Aylin looked at the response from Mr. Slim about the property she wanted to buy from him. The asshole wanted three times the price of what the property was worth. Because she wanted to turn it into affordable housing for people experiencing homelessness in that area. The bastard wanted to squeeze as much money from her as possible.

She stands up, walks over to the window in her office, and looks out of it. She has bought up all the other surrounding property to build on. The owners of those properties had been reasonable and accepted her offer. An evil smile appears as she walks over to her desk. If this asshole wants to play hardball, she’ll show him she could be his worst enemy.

She takes her cell phone out and presses the number six button. She listens as the other phone rings, and a familiar voice answer, “Hello?”

“Hey Jessie, I need a favor.”

“All your favors are used up, Hatter. This one will cost you.” Jessie knew Hatter only called him when she needed something illegal done.

“Fine, send me what you need. I need you to dig into a person’s background for me and find me some dirt I can use against them.”

Aylin remembers the lessons her mother gave her. She said if you can’t kill someone, blackmail them.

“Who’s the person you have in your sights?” Jessie knew never to piss off Hatter because she would get revenge one way or another.

“Davis J. Slim. I want you to dig into all his business dealings and private life.” Aylin spins around in her high-back leather chair and looks out the window behind her.

“Do I want to know what he did to piss you off?” Jessie was sure that this was a revenge mission.

“Nope, just get me the information, and I’ll reimburse you.”

“On it.” Jessie ends the call and starts working on Aylin’s request.

Aylin closes her cell phone and grabs some cash from her purse. She was going to have lunch at her favorite food truck. As she exited her office, she looked over toward Tammy. “I’m going to go and get some lunch. Would you like anything?”

“A pineapple smoothie, if you don’t mind.” Tammy liked the last one Aylin brought her.

“No problem.” Aylin starts walking towards the main entrance in the lobby.

She wonders if Michael is working today since she helped him get a job in the Parks and Recreation department. He had a little difficulty adjusting to having a full-time job, but he managed. She learned that he loved working outside and was good with plants.

She doesn’t spot him as she approaches her favorite food truck. She placed her order while it was being made. She orders a smoothie for Tammy. She leaves a hefty tip at both food trucks as she returns to her office.

Hatter’s House:
Hatter was glad the day was over. The afternoon meeting she attended with some of the directors of the homeless shelters her company sponsored wasn’t encouraging. There had been an increase in shelter incidents, and she wanted to know the cause. Some knew some of the people the shelter took in had mental and emotional problems. However, she had staff trained to help them.

A few shelters had to hire extra security because some had a large veteran population suffering from PTSD and other problems. She ensured the security people were properly trained to subdue and not injure the veterans. Sometimes things could get out of hand, but she felt sorry for the veterans and wanted to do everything she could for them.

She enters the code to the front door and walks inside. She could hear music coming from the den and walked towards the den. She stands in the entryway and watches as Hollace and Julie dance. A smile forms on her face as she watches her two young girls have fun. She adopted Julie after a child-servant friend called her and asked if she could take her in. The poor girl had been abandoned at a park by her mother. Julie was only a year older than Hollace, and they were inseparable.

She saw Bear and Cody watching the girls. Cody was a stray Jamie rescued from a frozen pond. Someone had thrown him into the pond, trying to drown him. She jumped into the pond and saved him. She nursed him back to health but couldn’t keep him. She and Taskhtali had rescued a
family of cats that didn’t get along with the puppy.

So, instead of taking him to the pound. She adopted him and gave him to Julie. Once he gets older, she’ll take him to the same trainer that trained Bear.

“Mom, we’re home,” Bree yells for her mother.

Sakura shakes her head as she closes the front door behind her. She was still hurting and recovering from her beating two weeks ago. She was also trying to recover from Bree’s driving as well. Since she was a licensed driver and twenty-one years old, she let Bree drive since she had her learner’s permit.

She knew little Mark was over at Jamie’s house with his siblings. Also, Justice was in town and volunteered to watch Hollace and Julie while she was picking up Bree from school. They noticed Aylin was home from her car parked in the driveway.

Bree looks around for her mother. She was excited that Sakura had allowed her to drive home from school and wanted to tell her mother. She spots Justice in the kitchen cooking dinner.

“Aunt Justice, do you know where my mother is?” Bree looks at her aunt.

Bree knew her aunt was studying to become a US Marshal, like the guy that saved her. She noticed that her aunt was wearing a comfy dress.

“Have you checked the den?” Justice figures her older sister might be in there checking on Hollace and Julie.

“Nope, guess what I did today, Auntie?”

“What did you do today?” Justice could tell her niece was excited.

“I drove home today.” A big smile forms on Bree’s face.

“Sakura was brave enough to let you drive?” Justice couldn’t believe Sakura had let her niece drive home.

It took Anika several months after she got her learner’s permit before she would allow her behind the wheel. Even then, it was just on the farm before she was allowed to leave the property. Ron took her out and let her drive his old pickup truck.

“Sakura said I did pretty good.” Bree liked Sakura.

“She did, Justice.” Sakura had walked into the kitchen to grab something to drink.

The pain pills she was taking made her sluggish, but it was helping her recover. She was supposed to be invaluable, but there had been a person who could neutralize a person’s ability with just a touch. Not only had that person negated her ability, but they beat her so severely. When she woke up days later, she was in a private hospital hooked up to a life support unit.

Justice looks at Sakura as she drinks from the bottled water she grabbed from the refrigerator. She knew Sakura had a soft spot for Bree as a cousin.

“Maybe next time I drop in, I’ll take you out for a driving lesson.” Justice wanted to see how good Bree was.

“That would be great.” Bree liked her aunt.

Bree turns to find her mother and spots her standing at the door to the den. She steps up behind her mother and hugs her.

Aylin felt someone hug her from behind. She was about to react when she smelled the perfume Bree likes wearing. She relaxes. “What are you up to, munchkin?”

“I got to drive today, Mom.” Bree lets go of her mother.

A playful smile appears on Aylin’s face. “Who was brave enough to let you drive?”

“Sakura. She said I did well.” Bree moves to stand next to her mother.

Aylin looks at her daughter’s face and still can’t get over the fact that it has been six years since she and Mark adopted Bree. Bree was her first daughter, and she taught her a lot about being a mother. Something she never thought she would be.

“We’ll have to see when I take you out this weekend.” Aylin hugs her oldest.

Ravenstonedale, England;
Archie was curious about his older sister and did some research online. He knew she had gone by the name Mad Hatter. He does a Google search on her and finds that she has appeared several times in news articles in New York and elsewhere. However, most news articles have her as being in New York mostly.

A few people had posted videos of her. He clicks on them and watches as she kicks some serious ass. It shows her taking down men twice her size and build. Other people were fighting with her, wearing weird outfits.

Someone caught her running with a bunch of kids her age jumping buildings and sliding down guardrails. She wore an outfit similar in design to the one she killed their father in. He still didn’t know the reason behind that. He wanted to know why she killed their father. He pauses the video, picks up his cell phone, and calls his best friend.

Theo was out relaxing by the pool when his cell phone rang. He picks it up, looks at the caller Id, and notices that it is his best friend, Archie. He presses accept, “Hey dude, I thought you were coming over?”

“Not today, Theo. Hey, do you think your parents would permit you to go to the United States with me?”

“I don’t see why not. They think of you like a second son. Why are we going to the United States?”

“Why not? We have been to Spain, France, and Germany. Why not the states?” Archie knew Theo had some fake IDs they could use.

“True. You want me to call Leo and Freddie and see if they also want to go?”

“Sure, we can go clubbing and bar hopping together. Call me back when you get their answers.” Archie hopes they say yes as well.

“Okay.”

Archie hears Theo’s phone go dead. He puts his cell phone down and does some more searching. While searching, he stumbles across an
article about a chef in St. Ives, Cornwall, England. He clicks on the article, and when it appears, he is surprised to see a woman who looks like his sister without makeup.

He brings up the MMA fight he saw his sister fighting in and freezes the image. He enlarges it and compares them.

“I will be a monkey’s uncle.” He couldn’t believe the similarities between the two.

They were identical in every way. Same face, eyes, eye color, hairstyle, and build. There was no way the second woman he was looking at was
his sister in New York. He plugs his portable hard drive in, searches through the files he copied to it, and finds the second birth certificate.

He couldn’t believe it. He had another half-sister that was a twin to the other one. Why did his father only keep one girl? He knew his father could be mean at times and had a temper, but why would he not support both of his daughters? Also, why did his half-sister kill him? He needed answers to these questions, but first, he needed to check this other woman out to verify that she looked like she did.

Amelia’s Place, St. Ives, Cornwall, England:
Amelia covers up a yawn as she walks into her house. She was tired and it was late. She puts her keys to the restaurant and house in a crystal bowl by the front door. She knew her husband was already home and sleeping.

She walks into her girl’s bedroom and notices that Carrie had left a movie playing on her laptop. She picks up the tablet and turns it off. She places it on the nightstand next to her daughter’s bed. She tucks the blanket around Carrie and places a kiss on her forehead.

She turns around and looks at Carrie’s twin Angela. Angela was the complete opposite of her sister. She was the wild one and loved to get into fights with the boys at school. Both her girls were talented and smart as whips.

She tucks Angela in and places a kiss on her forehead. She had been surprised that she was pregnant with twins. Her husband had twins on his side of the family, but she didn’t know anything about her birth family.

She called her mother and arranged for her to come by the restaurant tomorrow. She told her about the other woman she was shown a video of and wanted to talk to her mother about that woman. She knew her mother uses to be a private nurse and midwife.

“Sleep tight, my little angels.” Amelia closes the girl's bedroom door as she exists and walks across the hallway to her bedroom.

As she walks into her bedroom, she notices her husband was sound asleep. She undresses and crawls into bed, after putting her nightgown on.
She fluffs her pillow and falls asleep. Sometimes during the night, she feels her husband spoon up against her and hold her.

She loves feeling his strong arms holding her. She wiggles closer against his body. She falls into a little sleep. Since she had children, she has never allowed herself to fall into a deep sleep.

Around five in the morning, the alarm clock goes off in the bedroom. She buries her head under her pillow and elbows her husband. He always set the alarm for five in the morning. She feels him stir as he reaches over and turns the alarm off.

A few minutes later, the alarm goes off again. She elbows her husband, as she gets up and walks across the hallway to wake the girls. Getting either girl up and ready for school was a chore first thing in the morning. She opens the girl’s bedroom door and heard their alarm clock going off.

“Up and at um, girls.”

“Do we have to, Mom?” Carrie sits up in bed and looks over at her mother.

“Yes, you do sweetie. Get up and put your school uniform on.” Amelia walks over to Angela’s bed and pulls the covers off her.

“Come on Angela, time to get up.” Amelia looks down at her daughter.

Angela was born a few minutes after Carrie, but when she was in her womb. Angela was the more active one, whereas her sister wasn’t.

“I’m up.” Angela rolls out of bed and falls onto the floor.

“Are you sure?” Amelia reaches down and helps her daughter up off the floor.

Amelia notices that Angela’s nipples were pierced. She shakes her head “Young lady, when did you get your nipples to pierce?”

“A few days ago, Mom.” Angela knew lying to her mother was out of the question.

“You do know you are underage, don’t you?” There was a serious look on Amelia’s face when she looked at her daughter.

“I know, but I did it myself.” Angela was proud of the piercing she did.

Amelia shakes her head and wonders where she went wrong. She couldn’t believe her daughter did her piercing.

“Do you have any more piercings?”

“Other than the ones in my ears, no ma’am.” Angela has been thinking about getting a belly button one and maybe one on her clit.

“Next time you decide to pierce your body, talk to me first, please?” Amelia was upset with her daughter, but it was her body and she had to live with the consequences.

Amelia turns and shuts the bedroom door behind her. She walks into her bedroom and starts getting dressed. When she spots her husband “Do you know what Angela did?”

“No, what did she do now?” Ralph looks at his wife as he puts an undershirt on.

“She pierces her nipples.” Amelia puts on a clean pair of panties and sprinkles some baby powder onto her body, before putting her bra on.

“She is getting wilder and wilder every day. You know the school called me yesterday about her.” Ralph couldn’t believe he got a phone call about Angela.

“What did she do now?” Amelia looks at her husband.

“She punched Billy Cornwall in the chest and knocked him to the ground.” Ralph couldn’t believe his daughter knocked the wind out of a guy that was a foot taller and well-built.

“That reminds me. Charlie showed me a video on YouTube of a woman that looks just like me in an MMA fight.”

“Yeah? I would love to see that. Your afraid of spiders and scream like a little girl when you see one.” Ralph knew his wife didn’t like spiders or mice.

“They are scary. I had Charlie send me the link so I could show you.” Amelia grabs her cell phone and shows her husband the fight.

Ralph watches the video and couldn’t believe that the woman fighting was identical to his wife. She was quick and fast. He couldn’t believe how she looked. He had to look at his wife a few times to compare them.

“Your right, she is identical to you. Have you spoken with your mother about her?” Ralph hands the cell phone back to his wife.

“No, not yet. I asked her to come by the restaurant so I could talk with her.” The woman in the video was puzzled to her.

“Let me know what your mother says.” Ralph kisses Amelia, before leaving the bedroom.

Amelia checks to see if the girls were ready, after fixing a light breakfast for them and packing their lunches. She knew their friends were jealous because her girls always had nice lunches.

“Alright girls, come on and get a move on.” Amelia watches as her girls rush from their bedroom.

Both girls sit down and eat their light breakfast. When they are done, they grab their lunches and follow their mother out to her car. Angela takes the front seat, while her sister sits in the backseat.

Amelia drives the girls to school and drops them off. Before they exit the car “Dad is coming by to pick you up. Go and learn something.”

“We will, Mom.” The girls get out of the car and head toward their friends.

Amelia watches as her girls head toward their friends. She drives towards the restaurant to begin prepping everything for opening. She didn’t do the breakfast crowd but opened for lunch and dinner. It gave her time to spend the morning with her girls and to go by the market to pick up fresh vegetables and spices.

The Abbey, St. Ives, Cornwall, England:
Edith walks into her daughter’s restaurant and was immediately seated. She loved coming to her daughter’s restaurant and knew Amelia worked hard to maintain it. Her daughter worked hard to make a name for herself as one of the best restaurants.

Even when Covid hit, Amelia kept her business going and helping her people. She spots Clair walking towards her with a wine glass filled with her favorite wine.

“Amelia said she will be a few minutes, Mrs. Young.” Clair sets the wine glass on the table before Mrs. Young.

“Thank you, Clair.” Edith smiles at the young woman.

A smile appears on Clair’s face as she walks away to tend to some of her customers sitting nearby. She liked Mrs. Young and how she cared about her daughter’s employees. She walks over and sees what her customers want.

After a couple of minutes, Amelia manages to leave the kitchen. Her line chef could handle everything while she talked with her mother. A smile forms on her face as she spots her mother sitting at her favorite table.

Edith spots her daughter walking over to her and smiles. She couldn’t believe how successful Amelia had become.

“Hi, mom.” Amelia hugs her mother.

Edith hugs Amelia back. She looks at her daughter as she releases her “What is on your mind, sweetie?”

Amelia sits next to her mother and looks at her. She pulls her cell phone out and looks through the pictures she had managed to capture from the web. She looks at her mother “Mom, do I have a twin sister?”

Edith looks confused and wonders why Amelia is asking that question. She looks at her daughter and notices she is holding her cell phone “Why do you ask, sweetie?”

“Because my friend Charlie found a woman on the web that looks identical to me.” Amelia shows the picture to her mother.

Edith takes Amelia’s cell phone and looks at the image. After a few seconds, she looks at Amelia and back at the image. Aylin couldn’t be alive.
She had learned that Aylin committed suicide when she was just eight years old in the mental hospital she had been sent to.

According to what she heard. Aylin had slit her wrist and bled to death. Her father even had a funeral for her. She wasn’t there, but the dead girl in the casket looked like Aylin.

Amelia has been watching her mother and notices several different emotions cross her mother’s face. She loved her mother and had been told that her birth mother had put her up for adoption because of her father’s plan to kill her.

“So, it’s true, Mother. I do have a twin.” Amelia wonders why this had been hidden from her.

Edith looks at her daughter “We all thought she had died from suicide. Your birth father put your twin in a mental hospital. According to what I heard, your sister had caused your birth mother to fall down a flight of stairs, killing her in the process.”

“And they put my twin in a mental hospital for that?” Amelia looked skeptical.

“Your birth father said your twin suffered from mental problems.” Edith had heard that Amelia’s father was spreading rumors that Aylin had gone crazy.

“Why did my parents keep my twin sister and not me?” Amelia wanted to know why she was sent away.

“It was for your safety, Amelia. Your birth mother knew your father was going to kill one of you. He thought your mother was going to have a son and a daughter. So, your mother asked me to take you, raise you as my daughter, and keep your twin. I told your father that the other twin died at birth.”

“So, what happened to my birth father?” Amelia was curious about that.

“According to a newspaper article. A criminal known as the Mad Hatter broke into the mansion where you were born and killed him. You have a half-brother as well. Your birth father got remarried after the death of your twin and your birth mother.” Edith wasn’t going to hide anything from her daughter.

“So, it seems my twin didn’t die but somehow escaped the mental facilities.” Amelia looks at the picture of the woman.

“It would appear so.” Edith couldn’t believe that the woman she was looking at was Aylin Christian Green. Everyone thought she had died.

“You said my birth father remarried after my sister and birth mother died. Do you know who my half-brother is?” Amelia was curious.

“Unfortunately, I don’t, dear. I wanted to keep you safe. If your father knew you survived, he might have come after you.” Edith didn’t know why Amelia’s birth father hated girls so much.

“Why would my birth father come after me?”

“I don’t know, sweetie. I know I promised your birth mother I would keep you safe. Your birth father was abusive towards your mother in private but nice to her in public. I know he wanted her family fortune because he squandered his family fortune.”

“Did he ever get my mother’s family fortune?” Amelia wanted to know if her bastard of a father managed to get his greedy hands on it.

“No, your mother ensured that only you girls could get it. Since Aylin was classified as dead, her share went to you.” Edith used a little of it to help Amelia to build her restaurant.

“And my birth father never realized this?”

“No, as far as he was concerned. Your mother donated the money to a private fund that your father couldn’t touch unless he had her signature, but because he killed her off. There was nothing he could do. He got the mansion and the grounds but not the money or family antiques. Those are yours.”

“I know this question is a little jealous of me, but why did my mom keep my sister instead of me?” Amelia was curious about that.

“Your sister was born five minutes before you. So, your mother decided to keep her, but she did hold you when we switched you for your sister for a little while. Even your father didn’t realize we switched you two. Your mother loved you very much and always called me about you.”

Sara walks over to Amelia. They needed her in the kitchen for a second.

“Amelia, we need you in the kitchen.” Sara looks at her boss.

“All right, Sara.” Amelia looks at her mother.

“Go, sweetie. When you can, I’ll try the day’s special.” Edith loved her daughter’s cooking.

“I’ll send it out right away, mom.” Amelia gets up and follows Sara back to the kitchen.

Aylin’s House:
“So, how have things been at the office this week, sis?” Jamie carries the salad she made for dinner into the dining room.

Her wife Taskhtali was following behind her with one of the side dishes she made. They were having their weekly dinner with Aylin and Mark. They try to come over either once a week or more so the triples could spend time with siblings.

“Busy, I have a person being unreasonable about selling some property I need to build affordable housing for low-income families.”

“What have you learned about this person, sweetie?” Mark knew his wife would have done some research on him.

“That, he has collected insurance money on several properties that were burned down by an arsonist. The property I need to buy from him is vital to what I want to do.”

“So, do we need to pay him a visit?” Jamie looks at her sister with an evil smile on her face.

“As much as I would love to do that, sis. Let’s play this by the rules first. If he becomes unreasonable. Then I will personally invite him to a nuts roasting party.” Aylin was trying to be more reasonable than she uses to be.

Taskhtali looks at Aylin and her wife “You wouldn’t do that, would you?”

“Oh, you piss my sister off enough, she’ll do it.” Jamie knew what Aylin would do. She didn’t like bullies or cruel people.

After everything is brought out of the kitchen and set on the dining room table. Aylin goes to get Bree, Hollace, and Julie. They were in the den watching a Disney movie. She pokes her head into the room “Girls, dinner is ready.”

“Yeah!” Hollace stands up first.

Bree wanted to help with dinner, but her mother asked her to watch over her sisters. She escorts her two younger siblings to the dining room. When they enter the dining room, Julie sits next to Jamie and Hollace sits on the other side of her mother. Bree sits near her father and Taskhtali sits across from her wife.

The boys and their little sister had already been fed. They were in their crib upstairs in the nursery. Jamie serves Hollace and cut up everything for her. Aylin was doing the same for Julie, even though she was a year older than Hollace. Taskhtali was watching with amusement on her face. They would be doing the same thing for the triplets when they get older.

Jamie flinches when her bra rubs against her sore nipples. The boys have been sucking hard on them when she feeds them.

“What’s wrong, Jamie?” Mark noticed Jamie flinching when she was cutting up Hollace’s veggies.

Jamie looks at Mark “Your sons have been little piggies lately.”

“Oh!” Mark knew what Jamie was talking about. Aylin went through the same problem with Hollace when she first started breastfeeding.

Even when Aylin wore her most comfortable bra, the bra would still chafe her sore and raw nipples. Mark remembered how frustrated Aylin would get because of her nipples being raw. She was glad when she stopped breastfeeding Hollace.

Aylin looks at her sister “Now you know how I felt.”

“Yeah, but you only had one child to feed.” Jamie was glad that her wife helped her out with the triplets.

Bree had a confused look on her face as her mother and aunt talked about something in secret. She knew her mother, father, and aunt sometimes spoke in code. She looks at her mother and back at her aunt and wonders what they were talking about.

After dinner, they enjoy some dessert. Aylin prepares Hollace and Julie for bed. She tucks them into bed and goes back downstairs to spend with her husband, older daughter, sister, and sister-in-law.

Jamie looks at Mark “Has anything exciting happened at Eruption lately?”

“Nope, thank god.” Mark was glad his job at Eruption Communications was boring.

Taskhtali wonders why Mark took such a boring job at Eruptions. She knew he, Aylin, and her wife went after some of the bad guys in New York or other places. The last job the three of them did, before Jamie and Aylin had to pause while they were pregnant. They went after some weapons smugglers.

She couldn’t see Mark being happy being a company security officer with his credentials. It wasn’t like he needed to work with the prize money he saved up from his MMA matches. She knew her wife did bounty hunting jobs and a few drag shows as well.

After a few hours, Jamie and Taskhtali head home with the triplets. Aylin checks on her girls, after making sure Bree gets ready for bed. She tucks Bree into bed and places a kiss on her forehead.

Afterward, Aylin heads toward her bedroom and starts getting undressed. She feels Mark walking up behind her and wrapping his arms around her waist. She leans back against his chest, as she enjoys feeling his loving arms holding her. She feels him nibbling on her neck and his hand inching her panties down.

A low moan escapes from her throat as she enjoys his lips on her neck and his fingers teasing her. Eight years ago she wouldn’t have never allowed him to do what he was doing. But now she didn’t mind Mark holding and fingering her. She turns around in his arms and starts kissing him as she moves back towards the bed.

“You have too many clothes on.” As Aylin bites his throat carefully.

A smile appears on Mark’s face as he falls on top of Aylin on the bed.

Amelia’s Place, St. Ives, Cornwall, England:
Amelia adjust her glasses as she looks through the scrapbook her mother had kept about her birth family. Her mother knew she would one day want to know about her birth family. A smile appears on her face as she looks at the pictures of her and her sister after they had been born.

She had done the same thing when her girls had been born. She had pictures of them after she gave birth. She reads the police report her mother had managed to get about the death of her birth mother. According to the police report, her twin sister had been the cause of their mother falling down the stairs and breaking her neck.

There was a report about the mental review that had been done on her sister. It said her sister suffered from schizophrenia and that she had been admitted to Topeka Lunatic Asylum. According to the obituary her mother clipped from a newspaper. Her twin sister had died from suicide.

According to the medical report done at the Asylum by Dr. Jakob Knepp. Her sister had managed to get her hands on some broken glass and cut the main vein in her wrist. According to the report, her sister had been eight years old when she died.

There was a newspaper clipping of her birth father getting remarried two years after her sister was declared dead. It seemed he didn’t waste any time having another child. According to the newspaper article. Her father and his new wife had a baby boy.

Ralph looks at his wife reading next to him. She was holding an old-style photo album.

“What are you looking at sweetie?” Ralph knew his wife liked reading in bed.

Amelia turns and looks at her husband “Some information my mother collected over the years about me. Remember when I told you about that woman that looked like me?”

“Yeah, did your mother know about her?” Ralph was curious about his wife’s past.

“Yes, but according to everything my mother has collected about me and her. She is supposed to be dead.”

“Dead?” Ralph had a puzzled look on his face.

“Yeah, according to my mother. My birth mother asked my mother to take me to protect me. It seemed that my birth father doesn’t like girls and thought I would be born a boy. So, to protect me, my birth mother asked my mother to raise me as her daughter.”

“Okay, but how does this relate to your sister and being dead?” Ralph was curious about that.

“Well, according to a police report about my birth mother. She fell down a flight of stairs and broke her neck. Our birth father said that my sister was the one responsible for our mother falling down the stairs. When the police went to question her, she started yelling and attacking them. When a mental evaluation was done on her, the doctor who did the evaluation said my sister was suffering from schizophrenia. Later on, when she was eight years old, she committed suicide while in the mental hospital.”

“Man, that is weird. Was it proven she was dead?” Ralph was curious.

“That’s the thing. There was a funeral for my sister and there was a young child in the coffin, but my mother doesn’t have a picture. So, there is no way to tell if it was her or not.”

“But the doctor or mortician would have to verify that it was your sister.”

“The mortician at the mental hospital she was in verified that it was her.” Amelia couldn’t believe her adopted mother kept newspaper clippings of everything.

“I also discovered that I have a half-brother as well. He was born two years after my twin was declared dead.”

“Is your father still around?” Ralph wonders if Amelia should talk with him.

“No, someone by the name of Hatter killed him in front of my brother and his mother.” Amelia had come across a news article about her father being killed by a notorious killer that went by the name of Hatter.

According to the article, she was responsible for four murders between the years of 2010 to 2012. No one knew who the Hatter was or where she came from. There was a picture of the Hatter in the newspaper. You could tell that the person was a woman from her heavily made-up face.

As Amelia stares at the picture, she started noticing that the person looked like she would with makeup on. She reaches for her tablet and brings up a picture of herself. She starts coloring the picture like the person in the picture.

“No way.” She was shocked when she realized that it was her twin.

“What?” Ralph looks at his wife.

“I know who the Hatter is.” She couldn’t believe her twin killed their father.

“Who?” Ralph was curious about who the Hatter was.

“It was my twin sister.” Amelia couldn’t believe that her sister was alive.

“But you said she was dead.” Ralph was confused now.

“That’s what everyone believed. No one knows what happened.” Amelia wonders if should she get in touch with this Aylin Jagger person in New York and confront her.

She closes the photo album and put it on her night stand, along with her glasses, tablet, and cellphone. she turns her lamp off and lay down. While she is sleeping, she thinks about going to New York and seeing if Aylin Jagger is really her twin.

Archie watches the GPS on his cell phone as he drove towards the restaurant owned by his older sister. He had the top down on his Aston
Martin and was enjoying the warm weather. Music was blaring from the radio and his best friend George was sitting next to him.

“Dude, why are we driving all the way out here to St. Ives?” George looks at Archie for an answer.

“George, remember when I told you I have an older sister, but she died when she was eight years old?”

“Yeah, didn’t you say your father had put her in a mental hospital, because she killed her mother?” George remembers seeing a picture of a woman holding a baby when he visited Archie’s house.

“That’s what I was told. However, what I wasn’t told was that my older sister had a twin.” Archie had come across the paperwork written in a woman’s handwriting that had been buried in another storage trunk along with a picture of two female babies.”

“You’re joking, right?” George couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

“Nope, it seemed that my birth father was a royal prick and tried to hide my other sister.”

“How did you track your other sister down and are you sure she is your sister?” George figures that were where they were heading.

“Oh, I’m sure the woman I located is my sister. There’s too much resemblance between her and me. Also, the midwife that delivered my sisters never had a daughter until a few days later.” Archie had done some research into the midwife that delivered his sisters.

“How do you know all this?” George knew Archie was smart.

“I did some research, into my family.” Archie was thinking about joining MI5. Plus, he wanted to know more about his family.

“Are you still thinking about working for MI5?” George knew Archie has always wanted to join MI5. It has been his dream since junior high.

“Yep, you know it’s been my dream.” What Archie couldn’t tell his best friend was that he has already applied and was accepted.

He was just waiting to do his training. Until then, he was free to pursue other interest. He hated keeping secret about being accepted, but it was necessary.

“So, is our trip still on for New York?” George heard about the trip from Theo.

“Yes, it is. I’m going to arrange for us to stay at a nice hotel.” Archie remembers the last hotel he and his friends stayed at. Actually, it was a
house of a family friend when they went to Germany.

“Well, I can’t wait to meet some American women. I heard they are easy to seduce.” George was thinking about having some fun.

“That’s what you said about the German women and you ended up getting your face slapped.” Archie remembers one woman slapping his friends face so hard. He bit his tongue.

“I’m not going to make that mistake again.”

“Right.” A smirk appears on Archie’s face.

After thirty minutes they finally arrive at the restaurant. Archie finds a nice parking space and parks.

“The Abbey, nice name.” George follows behind Archie after they exit from the car.

As they walk into the place, they are met by a young Asian looking woman. George looks at her and loved how she looked.

“Hi, welcome to the Abbey.” Sara smiles at the two young men as they come walking up to her.

“Hi, we would like a table for two if any are available.” Archie noticed how busy the place was.

“If you’ll follow me, please.” Sara knew of a table available.

She grabs two menus and escorts them over to the table “here you go. Your server will be right with you.”

“Thank you.” As Archie accepts the menu from her.

George watches as the waitress walks off. He turns and faces Archie “so, where is your sister?”

Archie looks at all the servers and didn’t recognize any of them. “She’s here. She owns this restaurant.”

“Maybe we can get our meal for free, then.” George opens the menu and look at what he might want.

“I doubt it.” Archie looks at the menu as well.

After a few minutes, a young woman with dark hair approaches their table. The name tag she was wearing said her name was Patty.

“Hi, what can I get you gentlemen to drink?” Patty looks at the two young men sitting at her table.

“I would like a Coke Cola, please.” George looks at the young woman.

“And you sir?” Patty looks at the other guy.

“The same please.” Archie looks at Patty when spoke.

“I’ll be back with your drinks.” Patty turns and walks off.

George watches as Patty walks off and likes how her butt wiggled. He loved how it was shaped and how the tight pant she was wearing showed it off.

“If the chef here is your sister, she knows how to hire some cute servers.” A smile appears on George’s face.

Archie just shakes his head. He knew how George was when he was around women. He looks through the menu and notices his sister wasn’t opened for breakfast.

“I wonder why she’s not open for breakfast?” Archie was curious about that.

“Ask her when you talk with her. You do know it’s your turn to buy lunch, don’t you?” George looks at his friend.

“Yes, I know.” Archie just shakes his head.

A few minutes later their waitress comes back with their drinks. Patty places the drinks in front of each guy.

“Are you gentlemen ready to order or do you need more time?” Patty had her order pad out.

“We’re ready. Do you happen to have a chef here that is named Amelia Ann Alston?” Archie looks at Patty when he asks.

“Yes, we do. She’s the owner.”

“Would it be possible for you to give her this note for me?” Archie pulls out a note he prewritten before leaving home.

“Sure.” Patty accepts the note and tucks it in her apron.

“As for our order.” As Archie and George place their order.

Archie watches as Patty walks away and head towards the back of the restaurant.

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.

Mark And Hatter’s Place:
Aylin checks on the girls after she gives Sarah the pain pills their doctor prescribe for the poor girl. After all these years of fighting crime and helping people. She still couldn’t get over the cruelness some people have towards the gay and trans community.

Sarah didn’t deserved what was done to her and if she hadn’t stumbled out in front of her car. She thinks Sarah would had been found dead from her injuries. Sarah had been very lucky.

After checking on the baby, the girls, and Bree. She heads back into her bedroom and take her house robe off.

“How is Sarah doing?” Mark looks at Aylin when she starts taking her house robe off.

“She’s still in pain, but the pain pills Dr. Collins prescribe should allow her to sleep.” Aylin drapes her house robe over the chair at her makeup table.

“We need to find the people responsible for nearly killing her.” Mark felt the same way Aylin did when it came to bullies and people who go after people like Sarah.

"Oh, I plan on making the person who hurt her pay.” Aylin was going after the bastard herself.

Aylin lays down on the bed, next to Mark.

“How are the girls?” Mark knew Aylin checked on Julie and Hollace. He had tucked them in, while his wife was helping Sarah.

“They are doing okay. Hollace likes having a sister near her age.” Aylin knew there was a huge age difference between Hollace and Bree.

Mark kisses Aylin on the lips as he holds her to him. He doesn’t feel sorry for whoever hurt Sarah. What he wants to know, was why did they attack her? Did they know she was trans or was thee another reason? He knew he’ll find out when Aylin gets done with them.

Manor House, Ravenstonedale, England.
Archie sat at his desk looking at the website for Helping Hands. He was looking for the address and who the person in charge was. After a few minutes of digging and looking at the address and doing a google map search of the place. He pins it down and look at the outside images of it.

As for the director of the place, a person by the name of Aylin Jagger was the ceo of the place. He already knew that his sister was going by a different name. He does some more searching and finds out that Aylin Jagger is the daughter of an Anika Jagger.

He learns that Anika Jagger is the sister of a one Jack Bounty who owns Eruption Communications. She was listed as being part of the excutive branch of the company. The information didn’t give her position in the company.

He also learns that Aylin’s husband Mark was the assistant security chief of Eruptions Security force. He was surprised that Aylin’s husband was doing security for the telecommunication company. He figures with both of them being MMA fighters that they made a lot of money considering the two of them had impressive fighting record.

He looks at Aylin’s record and learns she has only lost two matches and she has competed in twelve matches. Her husband has only lost two matches as well and he has been in fourteen matches. He saves everything and sends the links to his sister.

Archie doesn’t get Aylin’s address, but he does get the gym location of where she practices at. He learns about Aylin’s and her husband’s trainer. He owned the gym they trained at. It wasn’t a modern gym, but more of an old style that boxers would train at.

He looks the man up and sees that he has impressive fight record. He uses to be a boxer and had an impressive fight record, before he was forced to retired for medical reasons. Archie wonders what the medical reason was.

Archie does some more searching and learns that a bounty hunter by the name of Jamie Williams was suppose to the sister of Aylin Jagger. He does some more research about her and her wife Taskhtali. He discovers that Taskhtali Williams was a researcher who specialized in ancient Egpytian history and culture.

“So, I have another sister? I wonder how that came about?” Archie was curious how his biological sister ended up with another sister?

He checks his bank account and reads a few emails from his friends that were accompanying him to New York. He makes the arrangements for their plane tickets and rental. He chooses a moderate price hotel for them to stay in while they are in New York.

New York, New York:
Archie, George, Theo, Leo, and Freddie had already planned out what they wanted to do when they landed last night from England. Archie and George were going to check out the gym Anika Jagger trained at, while Theo, Leo, and Freddie were going to hang out with some girls they met on the plane last night.

Church Street Boxing Gym:
Archie watches as their cab driver takes him and George to the gym his sister and her husband trained. It was an old-style boxing gym located in the heart of New York. Archie found out that his sister’s trainer was a guy by the name of Rex Haze. He did some research on Mr. Haze and found out he used to be a boxer and had an impressive fighting record.

When the cab stops at the gym. Archie and George exit from it and look at the front of the building. It had two huge large windows and you could look inside and see people working out.

“Why would your sister choose a place like this to train at?” George couldn’t believe the place.

“Who knows? All I do know, is she and her husband come here to train.” Archie walks into the building.

George follows behind Archie and couldn’t believe how many people were inside training. There were four rings set up with people inside the ring training. He saw that there were a bunch of people training of various races.

“Can I help you?” Sabrina had spotted two well-built young men walking into the gym.

She tell right away they looked out of place. Also, the way they were dressed gave them away as well.

“Yes, I’m looking for a Rex Haze.” Archie turns his attention to the young light-skinned African American woman.

“He has passed away.” Sabrina was missing the old man.

“I’m sorry to hear that. The reason I’m looking for him is that I’m trying to track down this woman.” Archie brings up an image of Aylin on his cellphone and shows it to the young woman.

Sabrina looks at the picture of Aylin when the young man shows her it. She knew Rex was Aylin and Mark’s trainer.

“Why are you trying to find her?” Sabrina knew how to get in touch with Aylin and her sister Jamie.

“Because she is my long-lost sister and I would like to meet her.” Archie figures he should be honest with this woman.

Sabrina noticed that the young man had a British accent like Aylin. As far as she knew, Aylin didn’t have any family other than Jamie.

“I can’t give that information out without her permission. However, if you leave me your name and number. I’ll call her and see if she doesn’t mind me giving it to you or she can contact you, herself.” Sabrina knew how much Aylin valued her privacy.

“Okay.” Archie writes his name and cellphone number down on a slip of paper and hands it to the young woman.

While Archie was talking to the young lady. George had wandered off to watch a young woman with shoulder-length white hair, tied back in a ponytail, workout. She was punching a boxing speed ball and her moves were nice and smooth. He stands there and watches her.

Trixie noticed a well-built young man watching her. She concentrated on what she was doing, instead of paying attention to him. When she was finished, she turns to look at him.

“Can I help you?” Trixie wanted to know why this guy was watching her.

“I was just admiring your technique. You have good hand and eye coordination.” George loved watching the young woman.

“Thanks. You're not from around here, are you?” Sabrina noticed the young man spoke with a British accent.

“How did you guess?” George smiles at the young woman.

“Your accent. I’m Sabrina Jones by the way.” Sabrina holds her hand out to George.

“George Flagship.” George shakes the young woman’s hand.

“So, what brings you to my uncle’s gym?” Sabrina was curious why someone from England was interested in her uncle’s gym.

“I’m with my friend over there. He’s looking for his sister.” George figures it didn’t matter if he mention that info.

“What’s her name?” Sabrina knew there were a lot of women that trained here at the gym.

“Aylin Jagger.” George watches Sabrina’s reaction.

“I know Mrs. Jagger. She’s one of our supporters.” Sabrina knew Aylin and her husband trained at the gym and brought people in to be trained at the gym as well.

“Could you give me her address?” George was hoping he could help Archie.

“I can’t do that, but I can give you her number.” Sabrina starts walking towards the office.

George follows Sabrina toward the office. He liked how her butt moved in the shorts she was wearing. He might try to get her number as well.
Archie spotted George talking to a light skin African American woman. She was cute and he knew how much George loved the women. The woman that helped him had walked off to a patron. So, he walks around the gym, and out of the corner of his eyes, he spots a poster with his
sister on it. He walks over to it and notices she was still wearing the white makeup on her face.

She looked different and more toned than she did before. She is still dressed in a style he has seen her in. He wonders why law enforcement never came after her. He knew she has been associated with several murders.

“Are you ready to go?” George spotted Archie looking at some posters.

“Yeah, I’m ready.” Archie turns and starts walking towards the door.

“Oh, I have something for you.” George holds up a piece of paper.

“What’s that?” Archie was curious as they exit from the building.

“That is your sister’s cell phone number. Sabrina gave it to me along with her number. I’m meeting her for lunch tomorrow.”

“Thanks.” Archie accepts the piece of paper.

“You’re welcome. Now, let’s go and get some lunch. I’ve heard about a nice restaurant not far from here.”

“Okay.” Archie follows George down the sidewalk toward the location of the restaurant.

The Ice Box, The Bronx, New York:
Jamie looks at Aylin as they pull up to the bar they are going to. She finds a place to park her Porsche Boxster.

“Here we are, sis. The guys that went after Sarah hang out here. There’s a bouncer at the door, but I know him. There’s also two more inside I don’t know very well.” Jamie has been doing some background research on the people who went after Sarah because she was transgender.

“How many are we looking at, sis?” Aylin looks at Jamie for an answer.

“At least four. They are members of the local chapter of the Proud Boys.” Jamie parks the Porsche and turns the engine off.

“I don’t care who they are members of. They shouldn’t have gone after Sarah.” Aylin was pissed.

“I know.” Jamie knew how her sister was when a person went after someone she cared about.

They exit from the Porsche and start walking towards the entrance. She and Aylin were dressed for a night out on the town. They were getting looks as they walked up to the door, past the patrons waiting to go inside.

Ralph spotted two beautiful women walking towards the entrance. He was about to stop them when he recognized Jamie’s face. He didn’t know who the red-haired woman that was her was. However, he knew to let Jamie in.

“Ladies,” as Ralph steps aside to let them pass.

Jamie smiles at Ralph as she slips a hundred-dollar bill into his hand. She knew Ralph could use the money for his daughter. As she and Aylin walk into the club.

“Where are they?” Aylin looks around for the men.

Jamie had managed to get pictures of them and showed them to Sarah. Sarah had confirmed who the men were and nearly had a panic attack from looking at the pictures.

“Back in the backroom. The owner has two private rooms he rents out to special parties. He’s also a MAGA member as well.” Jamie did her research on the owner and the manager of the place.

“That explains everything.” Aylin couldn’t wait to dish out some punishment.

Jamie glances at Aylin and could see her sister was pissed about something. She would ask her about it later. They make their way through the crowd and toward the back room where the Proud Boys were holding their meeting.

When they arrive at the door, Jamie knocks on it. She glances towards Aylin and could see the excitement in her eyes.

“Enter” As the door opens for them.

“Let the fun begin.” As Jamie cracks her knuckles.

The Blue Marlin, Downtown New York:
Archie, George, Theo, Leo, and Freddie were out enjoying themselves with some women they met. Theo, Leo, and Freddie were having fun with the women they met on the flight to New York. George was with Sabrina the woman he met at the gym earlier that day. Archie was dancing with a young woman he just met at the club they were at.

She was a little shorter than him and was dressed moderately. She was wearing a figure-hugging dress that showed off her curves. She had short brown hair that came down to her shoulders. The dress she was wearing exposed her shoulders. On her right shoulder, was a well-drawn and detailed tattooed raven.

She had emerald green eyes, a small mouth, and a button nose. Archie loved how detailed the raven was. He had spotted her all by herself and asked her to dance with him.

As they were dancing, he noticed that she was very good. A smile appears on his face.

“You dance pretty well.” Archie wonders if she was a professional dancer.

“Thanks. I have to say, you aren’t bad yourself.” Mia noticed how well Archie moved.

“Thanks, my parents made me take dancing lessons.” Archie didn’t mind it too much when he took the lesson. He had a nice female partner to dance with.

“Is this your first time in the States?” Mia noticed that Archie had a British accent.

“Yes, I take it this is your first time in New York.” Archie noticed that Mia had a Southern accent.

“How could you tell?” Mia was curious how this young man discovered she wasn’t a native.

“Your accent. It has a southern draw to it.” Archie has met people from America with that type of accent.

“You’re very observant.” Mia figures she needs to work on losing her accent.

“I’ve been told that. So, how often do you come here?” Archie was watching Mia’s emerald green eyes.

“This is my second time. So, what brings you and your friends to New York?” Mia has seen him with the others when they came into the club.

“Family matters.” Archie wasn’t going to tell this woman he just meet everything.

“I hope it's not too serious.” Mia smiles at Archie.

“It’s not.”

“Good.” Mia continues to dance with Archie and enjoys his company.

Archie gets a text from his friends that they were going to head back to the hotel with the girls. George was escorting his date home and would meet up with everyone.

Aylin’s House:
Aylin felt sore as she gets out of bed. Her knuckles were hurting, and her left eye was black and blue. One of the guys her and Jamie fought last night managed to sucker punch her. She got even with him, by breaking his arm in three places.

She went all out on the men and busted their scrotum wide open. She wanted these men to feel the pain and injuries they inflicted on Sarah. If she had her portable torch, she would have roasted their testicles. Instead, she used her steel toed heels and kicked them in their groin area as hard as she could.

Mark looks at his wife as she moved around the bedroom slowly. He saw how badly she got hurt from fighting the four guys last night. He knew Jamie was in a little bit better condition.

“Do you want me to stay home and help around the house?” Mark knew Aylin wasn’t in any condition to go to work today.

“I’ll be alright. Jessica is supposed to come over today. She’s been asked to join a black agency law enforcement group.” Aylin couldn’t believe
Jessica was asked to join a black agency sponsor government agency.

She knew Jessica has worked as a private investigator for the past five years. She was changed by a weird looking necklace she had cleaned. She bought it at an estate sale along with several volumes of huge books written in ancient Latin and Sanskrit.

“I wonder what they want with her?” Mark knew that Jessica specialized in ancient magic and such.

At first, he and Aylin didn’t believe in real magic, but after fighting the Hunter Organization and the Human Supremacy League. They have changed their minds about magic. He knew that Jessica could wield real magic, compared to the simple tricks and illusions stage magicians used.

“What does she want to know?” Mark knew Jessica liked working for herself, but she did have a few run ins with government agents and such.

“Can they be trusted and who is running the group. She wants mom to check into the group, since mom and uncle Jack have resources, she doesn’t.” Aylin knew Anika and her uncle had people inside the government.

“Well, if she is coming by today. I’ll drop Bree off at school.” Mark didn’t mind dropping their daughter off at school.

“Thanks. If I show up at school, there would be questions and looks.” Aylin knew the last time she showed up at Bree’s school, looking like she went ten rounds with a bull. There was question the other mothers wanted to ask but didn’t.

Everyone in Bree’s school knew she was an MMA fighter. However, she hasn’t been in a match since having little Mark. Since she had little Mark, she has cut back on her fighting and concentrated on running Helping Hands.

“Well, if you need to go out, sweetie. Just be careful.” Mark places a kiss on Aylin’s cheek.

“I will.” As Aylin returns the kiss.

She watches as Mark walks out of the bedroom to get Bree ready for school. Knowing her husband, she figures he was going to let Bree drive to school. She picks up her cell phone and send a message to her assistant, telling her she wasn’t coming into work today.

Once that was done, Aylin goes to check on Sarah and the girls. When she looks in on Sarah, she was still sound asleep. She leaves Sarah’s room and check on Hollace and Julie. The girls still had another hour or so before they had to get up and ready for school.

She gets the girls school uniform out of their closet and their Mary Jane shoes as well. The private school she had them enrolled in, had a uniform policy for the girls and the boys. The girls were allowed to wear tights or pants during the winter months. However, during the Spring and Summer months the girls had to wear skirts or dresses. Their shoes had to be dress shoes. The girls couldn’t wear anything that had a heel to them.

Even the backpacks had to be clear plastic style, so the security personnel at school could see what the kids were bring into the school. Aylin and Mark didn’t mind the security personnel inspecting the kids bags.

After she gets each girls uniform and undergarments set out. She wakes the girls up to take them to school.

Helping Hands:
Archie looks at the building before he walks into it. He had gotten up and had breakfast with his friends and the girls they brought back to the hotel. He and George were going to check out his sister’s business.

“You know something. Your sisters are different. One runs a restaurant and the other one owns a business that helps the homeless.” George wonders how twins could be so different.

“Well, my sisters were brought up differently. One was in a mental hospital and the other had a nice mother.” Archie hated the fact that he didn’t get a chance to grow up with his half-sisters.

He wanted to know more about them. As he and George enter the building. They come to a reception area and spotted a young woman with emo colored hair sitting behind a reception counter. They walk up to the woman and smile at her.

Carol was finishing up some paperwork that needed to be faxed when she spotted two young handsome and well-dressed guys walk up to the counter. She looks at them as a smile appears on her face.

“How can I help you gentlemen?” Carol looks at the two gentlemen.

“I’m here to see Mrs. Aylin Jagger.” Archie wonders if his sister is available.

“Let me see if she’s in.” Carol buzzes Mrs. Jagger’s assistant to see if she finally came in.

Archie watches as Carol talks to his sister’s assistant. They look around the reception area and notices that there were several expensive paintings and such. The place had a nice warm and welcome feel to it.

“I’m sorry sir, but Mrs. Jagger isn’t in right now. According to her assistant, she has called out for the day.” Carol knew it was unusual for Aylin to call out.

“Do you know if she’ll be coming in tomorrow?” Archie needed to talk with his sister.

“I don’t know, but if you leave your name and number. I can pass that information onto her and she might call you.” Carol knew Mrs. Aylin never fell to contact people who left their numbers.

“Do you have a piece of paper?”

“How about a sticky note instead?” Carol hands a pad of sticky notes to Archie, along with a pen.

“That will work.” Archie accepts the sticky note pad.

He writes his name and number down and hands it back to the young woman. He smiles at her “you can reach me at any time at that number.”

Carol looks at the number “I’ll make sure she gets it.”

Archie and George turn and leave the building. George looks at Archie “what now?”

“Well, since it’s not lunch time yet. Let’s go and visit one of the museums since we are here.” Archie figures they could do some sightseeing while they are in New York.

Noon Time, Aylin’s House:
Aylin stirs the homemade soup she made for Sarah. It was a Mexican soup that was spicy and rich in chicken broth. She learned how to make it from a cooking course she took with Mark and Dakota. She had been surprised to see Dakota in the class.

She took it to increase her cooking knowledge and talents. She could follow a recipe from a cooking book, thanks to her mother teaching her. She found out that she loved cooking and developing new dishes.

Sarah was sitting at the counter watching Aylin as she made lunch for the two of them. She was glad that Aylin had found her when she did. She watches as Aylin adds some spices to the soup she was cooking. She inhales the aroma floating around in the kitchen.

“Boy, Aylin. What is that you are cooking?”

“Chicken Fajita Soup. I thought you might like it. The chicken broth in it is good for you.” Aylin picks up a spoon and scoops some of the soup out for Sarah to taste.

She walks over to Sarah with the spoon “Open wide.”

Sarah opens her sore mouth for Aylin to put the spoon in her mouth. She feels the spoon enter her mouth, as she closes her lips around it and swallows the soup. A low moan escapes from her lips as she swallows the soup.

“Oh, man. This is good soup.” Sarah looks at Aylin with a smile on her face.

“Good. It’s not too salty or spicy for you, is it?” Aylin loved spicy foods, but her tolerance level for spicy stuff was higher than most.

“Not at all, it’s perfect.” Sarah loved the heat level and everything.

“Good.” Aylin turns the burner off and gives the soup one final stir before serving up a bowl for both of them.

After serving up two bowls and making some toasted cheese toast to go with it. Aylin sits down next to Sarah and eats her soup. Little Mark was upstairs in his crib asleep. She finally managed to put him down for his noon time nap.

Sarah turns and looks at Aylin “This is good.”

“Thanks, it’s one of my favorites.” It was one of Aylin’s favorites.

Sarah eats a few more bites of the soup. She was hungry and feeling sore all over. She had to be careful because she had a couple of broken ribs and both her wrist were sprained as well. Her right ankle was sprained and both her eyes were black and blue.

Her jaw hurt when she spoke or ate anything hard. If Aylin hadn’t found her when she did, her broken rib would have punctured her right lung. As it was, her broken rib had bruised her lung.

The last thing she remembered, before blacking out was hitting the asphalt and seeing Aylin’s face before her. When she woke up, she found herself in the spare bedroom of Aylin’s house. She has spent a few nights at Aylin’s and knew she was safe from her attackers. No one was dumb enough to come after the Mad Hatter.

“How do you do it, Aylin?” Sarah looks at Aylin when she asked that question.

“What do you mean?” Aylin looks into Sarah’s bloodshot hazel eyes.

“How do you manage to be a mom, a fighter, a wife, and a CEO of a company?” Sarah was curious because her parents never had time for her. She was lucky if they remembered her birthday or volunteered to go on a school field trip with her.

“Very, very carefully. I have to organize my time to be able to cover all my responsibilities. Some days I’m worn out and other days, I feel like I am carrying the world on my shoulders. But the real reason, I can do everything I do. Is because I’m not doing it alone. I have Mark to help me.” Aylin was glad she had Mark, Jamie, her mother, and everyone else in her life that helps her out.

“Well, I hope I meet someone as dependable as Mark.” Sarah knew her luck with men hadn’t been the greatest.

“You’ll meet the right person, Sarah. There is someone out there for everyone.” Aylin didn’t believe that at first. It took time for her to trust Mark and his friends when she first met them. After that, she knew Mark would never disappoint her.

As Aylin is eating her soup. Her cell phone beeps, letting her know her assistant was sending her a message. She picks her cell phone up and looks at the message. She reads it and her eyes get wide. She wonders why her half-brother is trying to get in touch with her.

Sarah looked over towards Aylin when she hears Aylin’s cell phone beep. She watches Aylin’s facial expression and notices Aylin’s eyes get wide for a second. Normally, Aylin was hard to read, but not now.

“Something wrong, Aylin?” Sarah was wondering why Aylin seem a little upset.

“No, just curious about something.” Aylin puts sets her cell phone down on the counter.

She doesn’t know if she is ready to confront her half-brother. It’s been years since she killed their father and Mark has been telling her that she needs to bury the hatchet with her brother. It wasn’t her brother’s fault that she was put into the mental hospital. He was just as much a pawn by her father as she was.

After thinking about it for a few minutes. She picks her cell phone up and switches to her privacy mode on it. She types in her address and her brother’s number and sends the message to her brother.

As she puts her cell phone down on the counter, she hopes she is doing the right thing. She also wants to know why after all these years he was looking for her.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City:
Archie and George were exploring the artwork in the museum. George had a major in Art and loved the old Masters and art from the past. He was enjoying their exploration in the museum. He looks over at Archie as he read about some piece in the gallery, they were in.

“Man, can you believe the collection of artwork here?” George looks over towards Archie.

“Who would believe they could amass such a collection for a country so young.” Archie was impressed with all the artwork and artifacts in the museum.

The place was on par with or better than any of the museums back home. He was fascinated with the place and the collection.

“I agree.” George walks over to where Archie was standing.

As he approaches Archie, he hears Archie’s cell phone beep. He wonders if it was the others letting them know where they wanted to meet up for lunch.

“Who is it?” As George watches Archie reach towards his back pocket for his cell phone.

Archie pulls his cell phone out of his back pocket and notices a message had appeared from an unlisted number. He saw that it was an address here in New York.

Archie looks at George “my sister.”

“How did she know you were looking for her?”

“Someone at her business must have passed on my number to her.” A smile appears on Archie’s face.

Late Afternoon Aylin’s House:
Bree was coming downstairs with her hands full with her dirty laundry basket. Since she has gotten older, her mother started making her wash her laundry. She didn’t mind because she knew her mother was preparing her for when she decided to go to college and get her degree in sports medicine and teaching disabled children like herself.

Just as Bree walks by the foyer, the doorbell rings. She stops and walks towards the front door. She looks at the image of the person standing on the other side of the door on the small video monitor mounted next to the door. She didn’t recognize the person. She puts her dirty clothes basket next to her and opens the door.

Archie had taken a cab from the hotel, and his friends were staying. George had gotten together with the girl he met at the gym the other day. He was surprised when the cab driver dropped him off at a normal-looking two-story house with a two-car garage. He noticed that it had an eight-foot-tall privacy fence that came off the corner of the garage and went back behind the place.

The front yard was well maintained, with flower beds planted in front of the house. He walked up to the front door and pressed the doorbell. He had a feeling he was being watched. He couldn’t put his finger on it or locate the hidden cameras he figured his sister had guarding the house.

After a few minutes of ringing the doorbell, it opens, and a young girl with light brown hair dressed in a pair of shorts and a baby blue t-shirt with a picture of the Mad Hatter from Disney. Under the image was a saying, “I knew who I was this morning, but I have changed a few times since then.”

He also noticed she had an artificial left leg as well. It looked like it had a flesh covering, but it looked more solid than her right leg. It also looked more hi-tech than a normal artificial leg.

Bree looks at the young man standing on the other side of the door. His hair was darker than hers, and he had a handsome look.

“Can I help you?” Bree was curious about who he could be.

Archie recognized that the young girl standing before him was his sisters’ oldest daughter. He had seen her in a few pictures with Aylin and her husband.

“I’m here to see your mother, Bree. Is she in?” Archie smiles at Bree.

“How do you know my name? And who are you?” Bree watches the strange man standing before her.

A smirk appears on Archie’s face. “I’m your mother’s half-brother. Can I come in and speak with her?”

Bree looks at the man suspiciously. Her mother never mentioned having a half-brother.

“If you are my mother’s brother. Where was she born?”

“Ravenstonedale, England. A midwife delivered her.” Archie was impressed that Bree wasn’t taking his story at face value.

Bree was still debating about letting the man into the house. She figures he could easily push by her if he wanted to. She steps aside to let the gentleman into the house.

“Thank you.” As Archie walks by Bree.

He hears Bree close the front door behind him. He noticed the house had a small foyer and a set of stairs not to the left of the foyer. He turns
around to look at Bree and noticed she had picked up a basket of clothes.

“Laundry day?” Archie figures Aylin must make her oldest do her clothes.

“Yes. If you’ll follow me, please.” Bree leads Archie from the foyer into the kitchen, where her mother was fixing dinner.

Archie follows behind Bree as she leads him through the house. He could smell a nice aroma floating in the air. He notices he was escorted into the kitchen, where he spotted his older sister cooking.

“Mom, this fellow says he is your brother.” Bree watches her mother.

Aylin turns around when she hears her daughter’s voice. She looks at the young man standing near Bree.

“Archie, what brings you to America?” Aylin wondered why her half-brother was there.

“It’s good to see you, Aylin.” Archie noticed that Aylin wasn’t coming around to greet him.

Bree looks at her mother and back at the young man. She wonders why her mother never spoke about her having a brother before. She hefts the basket higher on her hip ‘I better get my laundry going.” As Bree walks off toward the laundry room downstairs.

Aylin looks at her brother. “How did you track me down?”

“The pictures that had been taken of you. Your face might not be covered in the makeup you used to wear, but I still recognize you without it.”
Archie watches his older sister.

“Okay, what brings you to me now, after all these years?” Aylin wanted the truth from her half-brother.

“Because I want to learn more about you and what drove you to kill our father. Also, I came to tell you you have a twin sister.” Archie watches Aylin’s reaction.

Aylin looks at her brother. “This better not be a sick joke, Archie. I know for a fact that I don’t have a twin.”

“You think you know, Aylin. I have proof to show you that we have another sister and that she is your biological twin.” A smile appears on Archie’s face.

Aylin looked at her brother with a skeptical look on her face. Her childhood memory was still a little fuzzy, and she didn’t have a twin as far as she knew.

“Show me the proof.” Aylin wanted to know why she didn’t know she had a twin.

“First, you must answer a few questions before I do.” Archie watches his sister.

Aylin looks at her brother and wondered what he wanted to know. She also didn’t feel like playing games either. She narrows her eyes. “Fine, but if you lie to me about having a sister. You’ll see why I was called Hatter.”

Archie heard the threat in Aylin’s voice and felt a shiver. He knew this wouldn’t be easy, but he hoped she had changed some since she was older.

“My first question is, why did you kill our father?” Archie wanted the answer to that question the most.

‘Because the bastard put me in the mental hospital and left me to rot. He told the doctor who ran the place that he could use me as his guinea pig for his horrific experiments. He didn’t care about me. All he cared about was having a son instead of a girl. He was also cruel and abusive toward my mother and killed her.” Aylin still has nightmares of her mother being pushed by her father.

“What exactly did the doctor of the place do to you?” Archie wanted to know what his sister suffered through.

A smirk appears on Aylin’s face. She puts the knife in her hand and looks at her brother “he electrocuted me and pumped me full of drugs that wrapped my body and mind. He used me to conduct his research into what makes people fear certain things and such. If that weren’t enough, he would remove sections of flesh off my body so that you could see my muscles and veins under an onion skin layer.”

Archie couldn’t believe what he was hearing. He wonders how the doctor got away with it.

“How often did he do this to you?”

“Whenever the mood hit him. His favorite torture was electrocuting me. He loved that the most. He would attach electrodes to different parts of my body. That included shoving a metal dildo inside my anal opening and vagina.”

Archie flinches when he hears what was done to his sister. He wonders how she survived it.

“Is that what drove you to become the Hatter?”

“Between that and being pumped full of experimental drugs and such, yeah. I didn’t know what was real or fake anymore. I wasn’t his only victim. Others were older than me that he experimented on. I was just the lucky one that survived what he did.” Aylin could recall the others that didn’t survive the experiments conducted on them.

Archie shakes his head. He opened the folder he had with him and lay it on the counter so Aylin could look at it.

“Here is the proof of what I found, Aylin.” Archie knew it would take proof to prove what he said about her having a twin. His other sister wanted proof.

Aylin washed her hands and came around to see what her brother had brought. She sits down on the stool next to his and looks through everything.

Mark comes walking into the house a few hours later. He could smell the meal that Aylin was cooking floating in the air. He walks into the kitchen and spotted Aylin speaking to some guy. He didn’t recognize the guy from behind.

“I see we have guest.” Mark was ready to react if the person was dangerous.

Aylin looks at her husband and notices he was ready to react. She watches as her brother turns around on the stool to look at her husband.

“Hello Mark, I’m..”

“I already know who you are Archie. You’re Aylin’s half-brother from England. What brings you to the states?” Mark knew right away who Archie was when he saw his face.

Aylin looks at her husband and wonders how he knew what her brother looked like. She didn’t show him any pictures, which she had a few.
She kept track of her brother through some people she trusted in England.

“My sister. How did you know who I was?” Archie was curious about that.

“Through connections I have in England. I’ve been hoping my wife would get in touch with you.” Mark has been wanting Aylin to get to know her brother better.

Aylin looks at Mark “it seems I have a twin sister.”

Mark stands stun where he was. He looks at Archie and back at Aylin with a confused look on his face. “Are you sure about this?”

“Very, and she wants to meet her twin.” There was a smirk on Archie’s face.

“Okay, I’m confused now.” Mark wonders why Shigeko hadn’t uncovered this information when she did a background check on Aylin.

“I’m sure and I want to put my sisters back together.” Archie wanted his family back.

“Do you have evidence to back this up?” Mark looks at Archie when he asks that question.

“Right here.” Archie shows the evidence he brought with him.

Mark sits down and start going through the evidence Archie had gathered and put together. He could believe the picture of the other woman in the file. She was identical to Aylin.

A few days earlier, Mouse’s bedroom, London, England:
Zoey runs into her older sister’s bedroom with her sketchbook in her hand. Mouse was getting dress for work when Zoey surprised her. She looks at her little sister “Zoey, you need to knock before entering.”

Zoey ignores her older sister and shows her the sketch she just got done doing. She hands her book to her sister. She was still in her night clothes.

Mouse accepts the book and looks at the open page. It showed a picture of the Hatter from Disney, except it had Aylin’s features. There was a mirror with a reflection of the Hatter that look identical with another male she didn’t recognize looking at the two women. She recognized Mark’s image, because the drawing had him dressed in his leather overcoat.

Mouse looks at Zoey “who is this person?”

Zoey signs back brother.

“Your brother?” Mouse was confused.

Zoey shakes her head no and points to the Hatter and the reflection. She was confused when the image came to her.

“Hatter’s brother?” Mouse knew Aylin had a half-brother.

Zoey shakes her head yes. Then points to the reflection and the man.

“He’s related to Hatter and that reflection?” Mouse was trying to put the two together. Sometimes she hated when Zoey drew things and you had to figure them out.

She looks at the reflection of Hatter, but not Hatter. She noticed that the reflection wasn’t wearing Hatter’s trademark outfit, but a chef’s hat and apron. After staring at the picture for a few minutes, it dawns on her what it meant.

“Hatter has a twin sister?” Mouse looks at Zoey and notices she was smiling and shaking her head yes.

Zoey was smiling and was happy her older sister had figured it out. It had been confusing to her at first.

“There’s nothing in her file about her having a twin.” Mouse knew Hatter’s file by heart since she did all the backgrounds on the Bounty family.

They had classified Hatter’s file as top secret and all the murders she had committed in England had been pardon. Everything Aylin had been involved in had to have special clearance to view. Hatter and most of her relatives in the United States still had their SIS clearance.

Mouse looks at Zoey “can I keep this page?”

Zoey shakes her head yes. She normally didn’t like people tearing pages out of her sketchbook, but this time she didn’t mind. She accepts the book back from her sister and skips back to her bedroom.

Mouse takes the page and goes to show her mother. Since her mother was the director of the MI5 department. She knew she would want to see this.

Aylin’s Place the Next Day:
Mark had called Anika and informed her that he needed to take a week off for personal reasons. He didn’t go into details about it. She gave him the week he was asking for.

Usually, people at Eruption had to go through human services for their vacations and sick leave. However, he answered Anika since she was technically his boss, even though Harry Jones was Eruption’s security department head.

After notifying Anika that he wanted to take the week off for personal reasons, he knew she would want a full explanation. Afterward, they introduced Archie to Bree, Hollace, Julie, Mark Jr., and Sarah.

Later in the evening, Archie left and returned to his friends. He and Aylin discussed everything and reviewed the information Archie had left for her. Archie had told them that he had everything backed up on his laptop.

Since he stayed home, he took Bree, Hollace, and Julie to school. He looks at Aylin “So, what do you think of what your brother showed us, sweetie?”

Aylin looks at her husband and didn’t know how to answer him. She never knew she had a twin.

“I want to meet her, Mark. I want to meet my sister.” Aylin had tears leaking from her eyes.

Mark walks over to Aylin and wraps his arms around her. He holds her against his body and lets her cry. It was very rare when she showed her emotions. And not just the bad ones either.

“Do you want to bring the kids or just go ourselves?” Mark wanted to know if the kids should come with them.

“I don’t know.” Aylin didn’t want to put her children in danger.

“Look, let them come so they can meet your sister. I’m sure Charlotte wouldn’t mind watching them or assigning some agents to protect them.” Mark figures Aylin’s sister would like to meet her nieces and nephew.

“Let me think about it.” Aylin was protective of her children.

“No problem. I’ll get in touch with Shigeko and see what she can find out about your sister.” Mark pulls his cell phone out and dials Shigeko’s
number.

While Mark was talking to Shigeko, Aylin looks through the information again about her birth and wonder why her mother kept her, instead of her sister. Not that it matters, but why?

When Mark gets off the phone, he looks over towards Aylin and notices she was reading and looking over the paperwork that her brother brought them. He could tell she was curious about everything. While Aylin looks at all the information, Mark walks into the kitchen and fixes himself a cup of coffee.

After fixing himself some coffee. He fixes some tea for Aylin. She wasn’t a coffee drinker like he was. He fixes her, her favorite blend. She buys it from a tea shop owned by a local family they rescued from human traffickers.

He makes the tea just the way she likes it and carries it back into the living room where she was sitting. Just as Mark sets the teacup and saucer down on the living room table, the baby monitor goes off. Mark Jr. Was upstairs crying.

“I got him, Aylin. Enjoy your tea.” Mark heads upstairs to the nursery.

Aylin watches as her husband leaves to tend to their son. She picks up her tea and blows on it to cool it down some. She knew her husband made the tea the way she likes it. She takes a sip from the tea cup and enjoys the taste of it. It was her favorite blend and Mark did it justice.

While Aylin was enjoying her tea, she could hear her husband moving around in the nursery. A smile appears on her face when she hears her husband complain when he changes their sons’ stinky diapers. At least he didn’t have to worry about their son squirting him.

Why little boys do that she will never understand. She enjoys her tea while reading the information. She pulls her cell phone out and clicks on an app on her phone that she uses to scan documents and scan a few of the documents in the file.

Mark finishes up with their son and carries him downstairs with him. He knew Jr. liked being around his parents. When he walks into the living room, he spots Aylin scanning a few of the documents in the file.

“Someone was missing Mommy.” Mark walks over to Aylin with their son.

Aylin looks up at Mak as he carried their son over to her. She holds her hands out for him.

“Mommy wants to hold you.” Mark hands little Mark to Aylin. He knew that Aylin loved their son a lot.

Aylin accepts Mark Jr. from her husband and smiles as soon as her arms cradle him. She looks down into his green eyes and smiles. “Hey, sleepy head.”

A smile appears on Mark’s face as he watches Aylin hold their son. He had his mother’s looks, but some of his features. After his birth, it hit Aylin hard that she couldn’t have any more children unless they used a surrogate. Which, they knew Jamine would do for them.

Aylin holds her son while his breasts feed from her. She has gotten used to him feeding from her, while she does something else.

“I’m going to call Countess Basset and see if she would watch the kids while we are in England.”

“Okay.”

Mark walks away from Aylin and calls the countess. While Mark is on the phone, Aylin breastfeeds their son. She noticed that her twin sister had daughters of her own and that they were a little older than Bree and were twins as well.

Thames House, London, England:
Countess Basset was about to leave her office when her cell phone starts ringing. She looks at the id and saw that it was Mark from America. She wonders what he wants. She presses accept “Hello Mark, what can I do for you?”

“Hello, Charlotte. I have a favor to ask from you.”

“Oh? Would this have something to do with Aylin’s sister?” She had been surprised when Mouse showed her the drawing.

“How did you know about that?” Mark was surprised that Charlotte already knew about Aylin’s sister.

“My daughter Zoey.” Charlotte knew she could trust Mark and Aylin. They had helped Mouse in apprehending the people after her.

“Oh!”

“So, what can I do for you, Mark?” Charlotte was curious why Mark was calling her.

“Aylin and I are thinking about visiting Aylin’s sister and we want to bring the kids. However, we want to check things out first, before we bring the kids to meet her.”

“And you want to know if I’ll watch the kids while you do that?” Charlotte could see where the conversation was heading.

“Yes.”

“I think I can help you. When are you guys thinking about coming to England?”

“Sometime this week. Aylin’s half-brother is over here right now and that’s how we found out that Aylin had a twin sister.”

“Let me know when you are coming, so I can arrange things for you.”

“Thanks, Charlotte.”

“You’re welcome, now tell me more about Aylin’s brother and how did he track you guys down.” Charlotte wanted to know more about Aylin’s brother Archie.

Mark starts telling Charlotte about what they learned from Archie and how he tracked them down. He tells her that they have all the paperwork to prove everything. He gives Charlotte the phone number to Archie’s cell phone so she could have Mouse access his cell phone. He knew what Mouse could do.

“Send me what you have so far proving Aylin has a twin sister over here and I’ll have a couple of agents check her out.” Charlotte was going to double-check everything.

“Alright, I’ll send the information to you after I get off the phone.”

“Okay. Mark, how did Aylin accept the news, that she has a twin?”

“She couldn’t believe it at first. However, when he started showing her evidence that she had a twin sister. She softened her stance and wants to meet the woman.”

“Alright. Send me what you got and I’ll check it out.”

“Thanks, Charlotte.”

Mark says goodbye and heads back into the living room.

Somewhere Over the Atlantic:
Hollace and Julie were looking out the window of the private jet they were traveling on. They had been surprised when their parents told them they were going to England. Bree couldn’t wait to see her aunt Charlotte again or her cousins.

Aylin looks at her daughters, as she held her son in her arms. She hated leaving Sarah behind, but she was still feeling the effects of her injuries and she wasn’t in any shape to travel. Her brother had contacted her and informed her that he was heading back with his friends.

As for the background on Aylin’s twin sister, Charlotte had sent Casey and Casey’s second wife Charlotte to check on Aylin’s twin sister. Leslie, Casey’s other wife was on maternity leave. Charlotte was related to Cheshire, so both women knew what to look for.

According to the pictures and background they did on Amelia Ann Alston. There wasn’t anything in her criminal record. She also looked identical to Aylin, except in height. Amelia was a little taller than her twin sister. Charlotte figured that was because of the drugs and experimentation done to Aylin when she was in the mental hospital.

Bree looks up from her tablet towards her mom “mom, how long are we going to be visiting Aunt Charlotte?”

“I don’t know yet, Bree. I did talk with your teacher, and she is going to send me your assignments, along with any lecture’s she does.” Aylin hated pulling her daughter out of class for a week, but she didn’t want to leave Bree home by herself. She knew Bree was responsible enough
to care for herself.

“Dang!” Bree was hoping she wouldn’t have any schoolwork while she was gone.

“You didn’t think you were going to miss your schoolwork, did you?” Mark looks at his older daughter with a smile on his face.

After a while they land and are picked up by Mouse and her friend Camille Porcher. Bree was happy to see her cousin and so was Hollace as well. Julie has never met Mouse before.

“It looks like you adopted another little girl, cousin.” Mouse looks at the young girl standing next to Hollace.

“Yeah, I just couldn’t resist.” Aylin hugs Julie to her.

“Well, Julie its nice to meet you. I’m your cousin Mouse and this is my friend Camille.” Mouse smiles at Julie.

Julie noticed that both women had emo colored hair. Where Mouse’s hair coloring was blues and purple. Her friend Camille went from purple to white on the tips. She smiles at both women.

“So, where is your mom putting us up at?” Aylin was curious where her aunt was putting them up at.

“At the family manor in Bristol. The London house isn’t big enough for everyone. Your sister’s restaurant is only a three-hour drive from Bristol.”

“Is that where I should meet her?” Aylin hadn’t talked to her aunt yet.

“You and Mark might want to go and see her first there. Afterwards, once you know everything is okay. Casey and Uncle Theo can escort your children to the restaurant, or you and Mark can do it. It’s your choice.” Mouse had been surprised that her mother had called Uncle Theo in to protect Aylin’s children.

She knew Casey was a capable fighter, but uncle Theo was up there with her uncle Jack. He was a former SAS solider before he retired. Now adays he spends his days operating a security company for high class and royal clients.

“I think Mark and I should meet her first.” Aylin was holding little Mark in her hands as she sat next to Mark in the SUV that they were traveling in.

The kids were being entertained by Camille. She was performing simple magic tricks for them. The driver, of the SUV was an older gentleman that worked for Charlotte and was part of MI5.

Bristol, England:
Three hours later the group arrives at a large property. It had a gated entrance and the driver had presses a button hidden on the dash of the SUV. By the time they arrive at the large house. The kids were already partially asleep.

Mark, Mouse, and Camille help carry the sleepy kids into the place. Bree was helping Aylin with all the baby stuff. They are greeted by a middle-aged woman named Leandra. She looked to be of Spanish descent.

“Aylin, this is Leandra. She is the head housekeeper here at the property. You’ll be taken care of by her capable hands.” Mouse knew Leandra was trustworthy and has been the head housekeeper here at the property since she was twenty-five years old.

Aylin smiles at Leandra “it’s nice to meet you, Leandra. Thank you for looking after me and my family while we are here.”

“Think nothing of it, Mrs. Jagger. The nursery has already been arranged for your son. If you’ll follow me, you can inspect it for yourself.”
Leandra had been informed that Aylin had a newborn baby boy.

“Lead the way please.” Aylin knew little Mark would be happier in a crib, instead of her arms.

Leandra leads the way to the nursery and the bedrooms she fixed up for the younger children. She was informed that Julie normally shared a room with Hollace and didn’t like to sleep by herself. So, the two younger girls had a room together.

The rest of the afternoon Leandra helps get everyone settled in. She makes a light supper for everyone that night.

Bounty Manor House, Bristol, England:
Aylin wakes up being held by Mark. Last night after they had arrived and had dinner. She called to see if Archie had arrived home yet. He informed her that his flight was due today and that as soon as his plane landed, he would call her after calling her twin to arrange a meeting time and place.

She had the baby monitor on the nightstand beside the bed. She noticed that little Mark was still asleep. She lays next to Mark, protected by his arms. She listens to his breathing as he nuzzles the back of her neck.

Aylin could feel his manhood pressing against her butt cheek through his boxer shorts. She never thought she would ever find herself like this. When she was in the mental hospital, she wasn’t treated like a person but like an experiment.

When she broke out and killed those responsible for what they did to her, she couldn’t ever imagine she would have a life like this one day. When she was forced to leave England, she never thought she would ever come back.

Every time she thought she would never be able to do something. Life would give her a second chance and prove her wrong. She was drowning in madness. If Cyril and his wife Lottie hadn’t found her and helped her overcome the madness. She might have perished without ever knowing what her life could be like.

Aylin listened to the baby monitor and Mark’s heartbeat as he held her. She wonders what her life would have been like if she had grown up with her twin sister. Also, will her sister accept her after everything she has done?

Aylin slowly drifts back to sleep, thinking these thoughts. She wakes up when she hears little Mark start crying. She gets out of bed, slips on her slippers, and goes to the nursery. She spots little Mark having a hissy fit.

She checks him and notices his diaper is wet. She shakes her head as she goes about changing him. She makes sure to cover his penis so she doesn’t get sprayed. She learned the trick from Jamie’s mother.

Once little Mark is changed and happy. She goes about feeding him. The nursery had a rocking chair in it. Aylin sits in the chair and slowly rocks back and forth while humming a tune she knows little Mark likes.

When little Mark is done eating, she burps him and cleans up afterward. She checks on the girls to ensure they are all right. She spots Bree barely covered by her blanket and holding a plushy that resembles Bear. She wishes she could have brought the dogs with her. But she didn’t think it was wise on this trip. Maybe she’ll bring the boys with her on their next family outing.

Aylin checks on Hollace and Julie and finds them snuggled against each other. Julie was sleeping with Hollace, and both girls were cuddling the teddy bears that her sister Jamie had won for them at the fair. She’ll let them sleep a little bit longer before waking them up.

As Aylin walks back to her bedroom, she smells bacon drifting up the stairs. This wasn’t the American-style bacon, but English bacon. When she returns to the room, she puts her robe on and kisses Mark’s cheek before leaving.

When she walks into the kitchen, she notices Leandra making breakfast. She also noticed that Leandra was brewing coffee as well.

“Morning, Leandra.” As Aylin walks into the kitchen.

“Morning, Mrs. Jagger. Would you like some coffee?” Leandra was surprised when she heard Aylin’s voice.

Aylin noticed that Leandra jumped a little when she spoke. A smile appears on her face.

“No, thank you. I’m more of a tea drinker.” Aylin walks over to make herself some tea.

Leandra was surprised that Mrs. Jagger was a tea drinker. She watched as Aylin walked over and began making herself some tea.

“I’ll have to remember that, Mrs. Jagger. Is Mr. Jagger a tea drinker?” Leandra wonders if she made a mistake in brewing coffee.

“Mr. Jagger is a coffee drinker, just like our daughter.” Aylin knew Bree only drank tea when she wasn’t feeling well or her period started. She
liked to drink ginger tea when she was on her period.

“I’ll have to remember that while you are staying here.” Leandra wishes Mrs. Basset had informed her what the Americans liked.

“It’s no problem, Leandra.” Aylin finds the tea in the cabinet and a teapot.

“I can take care of that for you, Mrs. Jagger.” Leandra moves to take the teapot to fill it.

“You don’t need to do that, Leandra. I’m fine doing this myself.” Aylin didn’t mind boiling her tea.

“Mrs. Jagger. Is there anything special you and your family want me to cook while you stay here?” Leandra looks at Aylin to watch her reactions.

“Whatever you would like to cook for us is fine, Leandra. My family isn’t picky about what we like. I know my girls like English food a lot.” Aylin knew the girls liked what they ate when they visited their aunt over the summer.

Aylin waits for the water to start boiling. She finds the cabinet where the tea cups are kept and prepares a cup. The aroma of the food was causing memories long buried to surface. She used to love helping Lottie in the kitchen when she cooked.

Aylin watches as Leandra cooks the food. When the water starts to boil, she turns the burner off and lets it settle down before pouring it into the cup. She puts the tea bag into the cup and lets it soak.

“Would you like cream or sugar, Mrs. Jagger?” Leandra didn’t know how Aylin took her tea.

“I’m fine, thank you.” Aylin didn’t like anything in her tea.

“Mrs. Jagger, if you don’t mind me asking. I noticed your oldest daughter had an artificial leg. How did she lose it?” Leandra noticed Bree had an artificial leg while helping the young girl settle in last night.

“She was born that way, Leandra. Her left leg didn’t completely form when she was in the womb. She has had to wear a prosthetic leg since she
was born.” Aylin had gotten a complete medical record on Bree when she adopted her.

“I’m sorry to hear that. She’s a strong young lady.”

“That’s why I love her so much. She doesn’t let her handicap limit her. She has competed on her school’s track team and has done gymnastics as well. She has also won several martial arts competitions since she was ten.” Aylin was very proud of Bree.

“She sounds like a very special young lady.” Leandra wonders if her nephew would be as motivated as Aylin’s oldest.

“Do you have any kids, Leandra?” Aylin wonders if their housekeeper had any.

“Unfortunately, I can’t have children. I had cancer at a young age and had to have a Hysterectomy.” Leandra was devastated when she learned she could never be a mother.

“You could always adopt, or if you still have your ovaries, have your eggs taken and implanted into a surrogate.”

“I know. I’m just not sure that I want to do that. The guy I was married to at the time left me. He wanted a family, and I couldn’t give him one.” Leandra remembered the arguing and the fights they used to have over the subject.

“I understand.” Aylin lays her hand lightly on Leandra’s shoulder.

Leandra looks at Aylin when she lays her hand gently on her shoulder. She could tell Aylin meant what she said. She feels that Mrs. Jagger knew what it was like to miss something that made you a woman.

“I smell some delicious food.” Mark was following his nose with Hollace on his back. Behind him was Bree carrying Julie.

“Here come the troops, Leandra.” Aylin looked towards her husband as he carried their daughter on his back.

Leandra looks at all four of them. “Go sit down in the dining room, and I’ll bring you your breakfast and coffee.”

“I’ll give you a hand, Leandra.” Aylin starts gathering the plates and such.

“You don’t have to do that, Mrs. Jagger.” Leandra goes to stop Aylin.

“I know, but I don’t mind.” Aylin smiles at Leandra.

Leandra shakes her head as she starts putting everything on the serving plates.

Bert looks over towards his partner as they drive to the Bristol property. Charlotte had contacted them and told them they were assigned to protect and escort Aylin Jagger and her husband to St. Ives, Cornwall. She gave them background information about Mrs. Jagger and her family. She informed them that Mrs. Jagger and her husband were highly trained agents from America and were related to her brother.

“You woke up several times last night, Angel.” Bert knew his partner still had nightmares of what was done to her.

Angel turns to look at her partner. Her amber eyes observed everything going on around her. She signs back that the nightmares have come back. She knew it had been four years since her partner and the people rescued her, she now called friends.

“I know you went through hell with what was done to you. But you do know, you don’t have to worry about the doctor and his twisted medical team anymore. They are all blown to hell.” Bert and his team made sure of that.

The good doctor had taken runaways off the streets of London and a few other European cities and experimented on them. The good doctor and his team had done all sorts of medical and genetic experiments on them, turning some of them into monstrous-looking creatures. Some of the victims didn’t survive what was done to them, while others did.

Angel happened to be one of the ones that had survived. She had been turned into a human sex doll. Her chest had been enhanced on her tiny body to the point that it looked too big on her slim frame. All the hair on her head had been replaced by artificially grown electric blue hair. The pubic hair in her groin area was permanently removed. Her vaginal opening and outer folds were made smaller and tighter. The sensation she received from her clit and g-spot was extremely sensitive. So, she would always be wet and ready when she wore tight panties like thongs and rubbed against her opening.

The buyer paying for her conversion had paid to remove her vocal cords. He didn’t want to hear anything from her when he used her body. He had her eye color changed to amber and all her teeth pulled and replaced. Even her ears had a pointed look to them.

When Angel was rescued, Bert and his team members found her covered in blood and holding a scalpel. She had stabbed the guy that had been checking her over and preparing her to be shipped out to the buyer. It took Bert talking her down to prove he and his partner at the time didn’t mean her any harm.

Angel signs back that she understood that, but she would never be normal again. The doctor and his crew made sure of that.

“You have done better and recovered faster than some of the others. You know, getting you assigned to my team took a lot of convincing.” Bert reassured his commander that Angel was ready to do fieldwork. He knew she pushed herself to overcome everything done to her.

After about thirty minutes, they arrive at the gate of the manor house. He presses the buzzer to let the occupants know they are there. He knew if the place was owned by MI 5, the occupants already knew they were there waiting.

Inside the Manor:
Leandra hears a beeping sound coming from her apron. She pulled her cell phone out and noticed a black SUV at the main gate. A man was wearing a dark brown dress shirt on the driver's side. On the passenger side was an electric blue-haired woman. She didn’t know either one of them.

“Can I help you?” Leandra watches both people.

“Yes, the Snow Queen sent me and my partner here. Were to escort the Hatter and her companion to the court for a meeting.” Bert was given the code to let the housekeeper know it was safe to let them in.

Leandra presses a button on her cell phone to open the gate. Once the gate opened, she watched the SUV come up the driveway. The sensors concealed along the driveway scanned the SUV for additional passengers or explosives.

Outside the Manor House:
Bert drives carefully up the driveway. He knew from experience that the place was rigged with scanners and hidden weapons. Most places he has been to weren’t as big as this place.

Inside the Manor House:
Leandra heads upstairs to the bedroom Mrs. Jagger and her husband are sleeping in. The girls were horseback riding on the grounds with Casey and her friend. Mr. Theo had a meeting this morning and couldn’t get out of it. So, he had to call off, which was fine because Casey had arrived.

Leandra noticed the bedroom door was shut. She stops and knocks on it.

“Mrs. Jagger, your escort is here to transport you to the meeting.” Leandra had been informed about the meeting Mrs. Jagger was going to.

The door opened, and Mark was on the other side. A smile appears on his freshly shaven face. “Thank you, Leandra. Aylin will be ready in a few minutes. Why don’t I come down and meet our escort?” Mark wanted to meet their escorts.

“Very good, sir.” Leandra turns and walks back downstairs towards the front door.

Outside:
Bert parks the SUV next to another identical SUV like the one he was driving. He notices it is like the one he drove to pick up Mrs. Jagger.

“Looks like they shop at the same dealership.” Bert gets out and puts his business jacket on. He typically leaves it off when he is driving.

Angel gets out and adjusts her handgun. It was in a back holster at the small of her back. She wore a nice roomie blouse that allowed her to move her arms. Because of how big her breasts were, it was hard to find blouses and shirts that didn’t restrict her movement.

She was wearing a custom-fitted pair of slacks and low heel shoes. She hated wearing heels that were two inches or more. She was forced to wear stilettos that were ten inches or higher. It made her take baby steps and show off her ass in the tiny, tight clothes she was forced to wear.

Leandra spotted a tall man wearing a custom-fitted business suit and sunglasses. He had to be at least if not taller than Mr. Bounty himself. He had the build of Mr. Theo, but she could tell he had some military training from how he carried himself.

The young woman standing near him was shorter, at least as tall as herself, with long, flowing electric blue hair. She was wearing a pair of sunglasses that were identical to the ones the man was wearing. Leandra noticed that the woman had a petite build but a busty chest. The other woman’s waist was so tiny. She could put her hand around it; she had never seen a woman with a petite build like the woman standing before her with a busty chest. Not only that, but the lipstick the woman was wearing matched her hair color.

Bert noticed that the housekeeper was looking at Angel. He knew most people couldn’t get over Angel’s appearance right away.

“Excuse me, but we're on a tight schedule.” Bert knew he had to do something before Angel started feeling uncomfortable.

“I’m sorry, please come in. Mr. and Mrs. Jagger will be down in a minute.” Leandra stands aside to let the man and woman into the manor house.

Angel follows behind Bert as they enter. She knew from experience that her appearance always drew attention to her. Which in some ways was helpful to what they were doing. It allowed Bert to survey the area or look at something else while she held the other person's attention.

Leandra shuts the door behind the two people and escorts them to the den. She wonders if the two people were members of MI 5. She knew Mouse had emo-colored hair and worked for them, but this other woman’s hair looked unnatural.

“Can I get you anything?”

“We’re fine, ma’am,” Bert answered for them.

He watches as the housekeeper walks off, leaving them alone in the den. He glances around the room and notices the place has a rustic look.
There are books against one wall. Several pictures were mounted on the wall. The images in the picture showed women of various ages and styles of dress. Some he recognized as taken at familiar places he has visited.

Somewhere in Europe, a few looked like they had been taken in America or Asia. He notices that Angel is alert and watching the two doors that lead into the den. He knew she never let her guard down after what had happened to her.

A few minutes passed, and a young man with dark hair dressed in a fancy three-piece suit walked in. Bert could tell the young man was a skilled fighter from several scars he spotted on his face. He also noticed how observant the young man was as well.

Mark spotted their escorts waiting in the den when he walked in. The man, he could tell, was alert and trained. His posture gave him away. As for his partner, he had seen that look in her eyes before. It was the same look Aylin used to have when he first met her.

Every once in a while, it would return, but only when Aylin got mad or wanted revenge. It meant that her Hatter personality was surfacing, and that meant trouble for whoever pissed her off.

“Sorry for taking so long. I’m Mark Jagger, by the way.” Mark extends his hand to the man.

“Bert Goodspeed, Mr. Jagger. This is my partner, Angel Mason.” Bert introduces Angel to Mark.

“And this is my lovely wife, Aylin Jagger.” Mark noticed Aylin walking into the den. He motions her over to him.

Aylin walks over to Mark and the two people he was talking to. She noticed that the gentleman had a specific posture about him. She wasn’t as good as Mark at reading body language.

However, when she looks into the eyes of the woman with the electric blue hair, she recognizes that look. It was a look she was very familiar with.

“It’s nice to meet both of you. I’m Aylin Jagger.” Aylin holds her hand out to be shaken.

She usually didn’t like strange people touching her, but she knew it was proper manners. Her mother ensured she knew not everyone was out to hurt her. It was a lesson she didn’t take too right away when Lottie tried to teach her.

Bert shakes Aylin’s hand first, followed by Angel. When Angel looked Aylin in the eyes, she could tell this woman was dangerous. It was like watching a lion that was ready to attack. She also noticed that Mrs. Jagger wasn’t very tall either. If nothing else, she was shorter than she was. She stood a good five foot six inches tall. Mrs. Aylin was at least six inches or more shorter than her.

A smile appears on Aylin’s face as she looks at Angel. She could tell this woman had been hurt and wanted to share that pain.

“Don’t let it control you. It can poison your soul.”

“What do you mean?” Mrs. Jagger’s words took Angel by surprise.

“I think you know exactly what I mean, Mrs. Mason.” The smile on Aylin’s face never wavers. She also noticed that the young woman signed back to her. It was a good thing, she learned how to sign when she adopted Bree.

Bert had listened to the conversation between Mrs. Jagger and his partner. He noticed the smile on Mrs. Jagger’s face. Something about it sent shivers down his back.

“Well, let’s get this party started.” Mark slaps his hands together to get everyone’s attention.

“Let me go and tell the girls goodbye first, sweetie.” Aylin kisses Mark’s cheek before she leaves the den.

All of them watch as Aylin walks out of the den. Mark knew Aylin always said goodbye to their children. He knew it was to reassure them that he and her would return.

“So, Mr. Goodspeed. How long is this drive?” Mark already knew the answer to the question because he looked it up beforehand.

“It’s a three-hour drive. We should arrive an hour or so before your meeting starts.”

“Good. It will give us some time to scout the area out.” Mark didn’t want to go in blind.

“You’re like you don’t trust who you are meeting.” Angel looks at Mark when she says that.

“I trust everyone. I don’t trust the devil inside of them.” Mark loved that saying from The Italian Job movie.

A puzzled look appears on Angel’s face.

Aylin walks back into the den and looks at their escorts. “let’s get the ball rolling.”

“This way, Mrs. Jagger.” As Bert leads them out of the manor.

Days Before Aylin and Family Come To England:
Amelia stares into Ralph’s brown eyes as he kisses her. She felt his thick manhood pump in and out of her body. She digs her nails into his back, leaving light welts as she rakes his back. She was enjoying the feeling of her husband inside her body. Every time, he bottomed out inside of her body. She felt him hitting her cervix. It was a little painful, but she didn’t care.

She had her birth control device removed a few days ago. She loved feeling his body pressing against hers. The two of them cum together as she holds him tight against her body. She feels him erupt inside of her body.

A smile appears on her face as she rubs his back. She knew she left welts on his back from her fingernails. Her fingernails weren’t very long because of her being a chef.

“Ready for round two?” As Amelia kisses her husband.

Ralph shakes his head as he returns his wife’s kiss. He knew they weren't getting any sleep when she was in this type of mood, and he didn’t mind.

“Only if you are.” As Ralph nuzzles Amelia’s neck.

The next few hours, Ralph and Amelia make love to each other. Amelia tries not to be too loud during their love making but fails. She hoped she didn’t wake their girls.

They finally fall asleep at two in the morning. Ralph was holding Amelia tight against his body, with his manhood still buried inside of her body. He left a few hickeys on Amelia’s neck and her breasts, right on her nipples.

In the morning time, both his girls give him and their mother looks. Carrie and Angela couldn’t believe how loud their mother had been. They could hear her moaning all the way to their bedroom.

“Mom, was Dad that good that you couldn’t keep quiet?” Angela looks at her mother with a smirk on her face.

“Sis!” Carrie couldn’t believe her twin sister just said what she had said to their mother.

Amelia looks at her daughters with her cheeks red. She hadn’t realized she was that loud.

“Your dad is very talented in the art of loving making.” Amelia has already had the birds, and the bees talk with her daughters.

“Well, I hope I meet a guy as talented as Dad.” A teasing smile appears on her face when she says that.

“I hope not until you’re older.” Amelia didn’t want to be a grandmother at a young age.

“You weren’t that old when you and Dad had us.” Angela looks at her mother when she says that.

“True, but I already had the restaurant, and your dad was working for his father.” Amelia knew she had become pregnant on their honeymoon.
She didn’t get the birth control implant until after the girls were born.

It wasn’t until recently that she decided to have it removed. Now that she was older and the girls were in their teens. She was considering having another baby.

Amelia gets dressed and takes the girls to school. She does her morning shopping and when she arrives at work. She spots someone digging through the trash. Sometimes, some homeless people dig through the trash, looking for food. She parks her car, walks toward the back of the restaurant, and spots a young girl digging through the trash.

“If you're hungry, I can fix something for you.” Amelia wonders how old the girl is.

Amy turns around when she hears a female voice. She was hungry and sore from the whipping her drunk mother gave her. Her eyes still hurt from where the alcohol from one of the guy's glass spilled onto her face. Her mother had backhanded her, and she hit the table with her back where the guy’s glass was sitting.

Amelia watched the girl as she stood near the trash cans. She noticed the poor thing had bruises on her arms and face. She was wearing no shoes, and it looked like the girl had some dry blood on her head.

“I promise you’ll like it. I have two girls of my own, and they love my food.” Amelia was trying to coach the girl too.

Amy feels her tummy growl and rumble. She looks at the woman and starts walking towards her. She was really hungry and didn’t like eating out of the trash.

Amelia holds her hand out to the young girl. She felt sorry for the poor thing. When she feels the girl’s greasy hand grab hers, she doesn’t flinch.

Amelia looks down at the girl “Let’s go and get some food.”

Amelia walks towards the back door and opens it. She escorts the young girl inside. She takes her over to the sink and cleans her up.

“Now, let’s cook you up some food.” Amelia begins fixing the young girl some food.

Amy watches as the woman cooks. She saw what she was adding to the food. She loved how it smelled.

Amelia looks at the young girl. “My name is Amelia, and I own this restaurant. What is your name?”

Amelia stirs the food she was cooking for the girl.

“Amy.”

“Well, Amy. Do you live near here?” Amelia doesn’t recall ever seeing the girl before.

Amy shakes her head yes.

“Does your mother know you are gone?”

Amy shakes her head no. She didn’t want her mother to know she ran away.

Amelia finishes cooking the food and puts it on a plate for the girl. She looks at Amy “Let’s go and sit in the dining area.”

Amelia carries on a tray and pours the girl a glass of juice. She escorts Amy to the dining area and the staff table.

“Here you go, Amy. Enjoy. If you're still hungry, let me know, and I’ll fix you some more.” Amelia still had to bring the groceries she bought this morning inside.

Before Amelia walks off, she watches as Amy starts eating. She walks away and goes to get the groceries she bought this morning. She wonders
who Amy belonged to. The poor thing was dirty, and from the way she looked. It looked like someone had abused her.

While Amelia goes about getting everything ready to open for lunch, she checks on Amy and notices that half of the plate of food is already gone. She figures Amy must have been very hungry.

“Amy, would you like more juice?”

“Yes, ma’am.” Amy was enjoying the food and the juice.

Amelia refills Amy’s glass with more juice. She was curious why Amy was out on the street and why she was so hungry.

“Amy, did you run away from home?” Amelia watches Amy's expression.

Amy looks at Amelia “Yes ma’am. Please don’t send me back.”

“Why don’t you want to go back? Are you being abused?”

Amy shakes her head yes. She didn’t want to return to her mother’s or her friends.

“Why don’t you finish eating your food? I’m going to call a friend of mine.”

Amelia stands up and heads back to the kitchen. She pulls out her cell phone and calls a booby. She knows the guy personally because he always comes to the restaurant. She hopes Freddie will be able to help her. If nothing else, Amy could stay with her and her husband until everything is figured out.

After leaving a message for Freddie, she calls her mother and asks her to stop by a store and pick up some clean clothes for Amy. She could stay here with her at the restaurant for the day.

Just as Amelia gets off the phone with her mother, it rings, and she notices it is her brother. She presses accept.

“Hi Archie, what can I do for you?”

“Everything is a go, sis. Aylin and her husband want to meet you and your husband.”

“I didn’t think she would. Well, we could meet here at the restaurant. My place is too small for everyone.” Amelia figures Archie would want to be there as well.

“I think your restaurant is the perfect place. What time and day would you want to meet?” Archie thought the restaurant was perfect.

“Okay. What day?”

“Would this week be okay?”

“Sure, but it would have to be on Thursday night. Fridays are our busy nights.”

“What time?”

“Either before I open or afterward.” Amelia didn’t want to interrupt business.

“I think later would be better. They have to drive from where they will be staying.”

“That’s fine. Let’s say around eight o’clock.” Amelia didn’t think her patrons would mind her closing early.

“Cool. I’ll inform Aylin, sis. See you then.” Archie ends the call.

Amelia looks out into the dining area towards Amy and hopes she can help the poor girl. She walks back out to her.

Thursday Morning, The Abbey, St. Ives, Cornwall, England:
Amelia arrived early at the restaurant after doing her morning shopping. She spots some guys walking around outside her restaurant. She wondered who they were and what they were looking for. She pulls into her usual parking spot and parks. She grabs the can of dye she carries, typically just in case she is attacked.

As Amelia exits from her car, she looks at the men. She closes the car door but keeps her hand on the handle if she needs to enter it.

“Can I help you, gentlemen, with something?” Amelia watches the men carefully.

Henry hears a female voice coming from the parking lot. She had red hair and was of average height. He has seen her here at the restaurant before.

“Yes, we are looking for this girl. Have you seen her?” Henry shows the picture of Amy to Amelia.

“Yes, I saw her. She dug through my trash for something to eat a few days ago. Are you her father?” Amelia had already learned who Amy’s father was from her friend.

“No, just a friend of the family. Do you know what happened to her?” Henry was watching the young woman.

“I took her in and made her some food. While she was eating, I called the local police station, and they sent someone out to help her.” Amelia wasn’t telling this guy that Amy was staying with her.

The local group home she would have been sent to was full. So, Amelia was willing to take Amy in. Her daughters were already bonding with Amy and calling her their little sister.

Henry closed his eyes and knew trouble would be coming his way soon. He wanted to strangle this woman’s neck, but they were out in public, and she was well-known in the neighborhood. He’ll wait until later and come back to deal with her.

“Thank you.” Henry turns and walks away.

“You’re welcome.” Amelia watches as the men walk away. She waits a few minutes before getting the groceries out of her car and carrying them
inside the restaurant.

She noticed the sign was still up, letting her customers know she would close early tonight. Most of them knew she normally closed early on Thursday and stayed open late on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. She carries the groceries back to the kitchen and starts prepping everything.

Manor House, Ravenstonedale, England:
“Mom, I’m going out and won’t be back until late tomorrow.” Archie wasn’t going to tell his mother what he was up to.

As far as she was concerned, his half-sister died after jumping out of the window after killing their father. He knew she knew who the Hatter had been that day, especially after she said that they would be better off without him. The thing was, his mother still refused to acknowledge that she was his older sister.

“All right, honey. Be careful and stay safe.” Maddison wonders what her son was up to.

She knew he went to New York with his friends and had been busy since returning from his trip. Still, she trusted her son and whatever he was up to. She’ll let him be.

Archie grabs the keys to his Aston Martin. While he had been in New York. He and his mates rented one of the new Hellcats and loved the speed the car had. He has been thinking about buying one and shipping it to England. He knew his friend Theo was already in the process of having one. He knew Theo’s parents spoiled him.

He heard back from MI 5 and has an appointment to visit the assessment center to be interviewed and answer some questions. He’s hoping they will take him. If not, his second choice would be to serve in the military and try again from there.

He listens to music being played through the speakers of his Martin. The day was nice and will be happy to see his sisters together. He hopes they will get along.

The SUV From Bristol:
Mark watched as Bret drove the SUV they were traveling in. He noticed that the woman who was Bret’s partner was quiet and kept watch as they traveled. A smirk appears on his face because if someone were dumb enough to attack this SUV, they would be inviting trouble they have never experienced.

He looked over at Aylin to see how she was doing. “How are you holding up, sweetie?”

Aylin turns to face her husband, “nervous. I hope my twin sister isn’t be offended by what I did to our father.”

“Sweetie, what you did was put down a mad dog. Your father tried to pretend you didn’t exist and permitted a madman to experiment with you.” Mark grabs Aylin’s hand and holds it.

“You think?” Aylin looks into Mark’s eyes. She knew he would never hide anything from her.

“If she is anything like you. She’ll understand.” Mark places a kiss on Aylin’s cheek.

Angel had been listening to the conversation going on between the Jaggers. She wonders what experiments had been performed on Mrs. Jagger and what doctor they discussed. She glances towards Bret with a puzzled look on her face. She signs to him, asking him who they are talking about.

Bret notices Angel signing to him and shrugs his shoulder. He knew nothing about Mrs. Jagger, except what they were told to do. He looked at Angel and could see she was puzzled.

Since he couldn’t sign back while driving, “ask them.”

“Ask us what?” Mark heard Bret reply to something his partner was asking him.

Mark noticed earlier that Bret’s partner Angel couldn’t speak. He had seen the surgical scar on her throat.

“My partner wanted to know what doctor your wife was talking about.” Bret looks at Mark in the rearview mirror.

Mark looks at his wife. “Do you mind explaining?”

Aylin looks towards their bodyguards up front. She had noticed that the woman sent to protect and transport them couldn’t speak. She wonders if someone has done something to her.

“When I was little. I was put in a mental hospital, and illegal medical experiments were performed. The doctor who did the experiments was the director of the mental hospital. When I escaped from the place, I blew him to kingdom come.”

“How about the rest of his staff? What did you do to them?” Angel wondered if the person who experimented on her and the others worked for the man Mrs. Jagger killed.

“As far as I remember. I didn’t do anything to anyone except the orderlies that raped me. Some of the staff were nice to me.” Aylin couldn’t remember everything she did that day, but she did remember blowing the doctor up and killing the two orderlies who raped her.

“Do you remember a middle-aged man with dark brown hair and grey eyes?” Angel was signing as Bert translated for her.

“I couldn’t tell you. My mind was completely gone at the time.”

“Was the Doctor’s name William Dippel?” Bret wonders if the doctor Aylin killed, was the doctor who taught the one who performed experiments on Angel and several others.

Aylin closes her eyes and thinks back to that time. Her mind had been very cloudy from the experiments and drugs used on her. She tries to remember the face of the doctor she killed.

A memory that had been buried surfaces of a young man dressed in a white lab coat. He had injected her with some bright green liquid that made her sick as a dog. It caused every muscle in her body to seize up. It felt like he was enjoying what he was doing to her.

She squeezes Mark’s hand as her body responds to the memory. Her eyes open as she looks around her location.

“Easy, Aylin. You’re safe.” Mark holds Aylin so she feels safe. He knew her senses were enhanced, and the cologne he wore would snap her out of whatever just gripped her.

Aylin smells Mark’s cologne as it reminds her that smell means safety. She inhales Mark’s scent and counts down from ten. She could feel her Hatter personality stirring. She snuffs Mark's neck again and manages to calm down.

Angel had watched Aylin’s reaction and felt that Mrs. Jagger knew the doctor she cut up just from watching her. She wonders if the doctor Mrs. Jagger killed taught the person she killed.

Mark felt the pressure on his hand loosen and looks into his Aylin’s eyes. He could tell whatever happened was slowly loosening its grip on Aylin. “I take it, it brought back some memories you buried?”

Aylin shakes her head and looks into Mark’s brown eyes “yes and I have to say that whoever Angel was experimented on by was the doctor’s assistant I killed.”

Bret was surprised when he heard Aylin’s voice. There was sadness in it.

“Bret, how much longer before we arrive?” Mark looks towards Bret.

“We’re almost there.” Bret glances to the GPS to see how much longer they had.

“All right.” Mark just holds Aylin.

Angel turns around in her seat and look out the windshield.

Thursday Evening, The Abbey, St. Ives, Cornwall, England:
Archie had arrived early and ordered some dinner. Since he was early and didn’t eat anything before leaving the house. He already knew the food was good, from having lunch here before.

His server was a young woman with black curly hair. She had a light accent to her speech when she spoke, and was kind of cute. He’ll have to ask his sister what her name is. He watches as she walks back towards the kitchen to place his order.

As he scans the restaurant, he spots an older woman sitting at a corner table by herself enjoying a glass of wine. Every so often, her server would walk over to her and either refill her glass or check to see if she wanted anything else. He spots her looking towards the kitchen area occasionally.

He also noticed how the restaurant wasn’t as busy as it normally was when his friend visited last time. He didn’t know why, because the food his sister made was better than some of the high-class restaurants he had gone to. He wasn’t a food, foodie and posted about where he ate.

His interview with the Secret Service division had gone well and was approved for training. He was informed that he would begin training within two weeks. He was also informed that once his training began, he couldn’t tell anyone what he did.

Which he understood. On the day he went for his final interview, he spotted a young woman with emo-colored purple hair walking by him. He was surprised to see someone like that among a bunch of professional agents and supervisors. The thing was, whoever she was, she was able to enter places no one else was allowed.

Edith had been invited by her daughter to come to the meeting of her twin sister. She was surprised that Amelia’s twin was still alive. She thought she had died along with everyone else. She wonders how Aylin looks and where she has been hiding all these years. She also wonders if the stories were true that she was the wanted criminal the Mad Hatter.

While she was sitting at the table Amelia kept reserve for her and enjoying a glass of her favorite wine. Her server Kelly, was tentative to her and would refill her glass and bring her something to nibble on. She loved the appetizers Amelia sent out to her.

While she is sitting at the table, she notices Amelia’s stepbrother come walking into the restaurant and is escorted over to table five. She knew the arrangement of the tables and why her daughter arranged the restaurant that way. As she is enjoying her wine, she wonders how Aylin looked after all these years. Sure, she saw the pictures her daughter showed her, but seeing a person on a video and seeing them in person is another thing.

The young girl Amelia found digging through her trash, was at home with her husband and her grandchildren. The poor thing had been abused and was malnourished. She felt sorry for the poor girl but knew she’d have a better life with her daughter.

The restaurant slowly starts to close for the night. The bus boys and some of the servers who have been working for her daughter for a while were in the process of cleaning the place. They were surprised that a young man was staying behind. They knew Amelia’s mother was known to stay behind to talk with their boss. As they leave one by one with take-home orders their boss always made for them. They wave good night. One of the servers heard a commotion coming from the back of the restaurant.

Their curiosity gets the best of them and when they walk back towards the noise. They spot two guys and a woman watching a woman with red hair who looked like their boss, beating the daylights out of two guys. They heard one of the guys watching the fight say that they messed with the wrong woman.

Bret, Angel, Mark, and Aylin had arrived early and saw that the restaurant was still open. Mark figured since the place was still open, they would scout the area out. Mark knew Aylin wanted to stretch her legs for a while. Since it was a big area, they went ahead and split up. Angel and Bret teamed up since Angel couldn’t speak. He went by himself and Aylin went by herself.

He was heading back towards their meeting spot when he heard a commotion coming from behind the restaurant. He went to investigate and saw Hatter being attacked by two well-built guys. He was about to interfere when he spotted his wife drop one guy like a rag doll.

A smile appears on his wife when he watches her work. He knew she was enjoying herself. He hears footsteps running towards him. He turns to see who it is and spots Bret and Angel running towards him. He stops them when they want to help out.

“Let her be. She’s got this.” Mark knew these guys were going to end up going to the hospital after his wife got done with them.

Bret and Angel looked at Mark like he was crazy. They were told to protect him and his wife.

“Mr. Jagger, we can’t do that. We were told to protect you guys.” Bret knew he could get in trouble.

“I bet that wasn’t Mrs. Basset’s concern. I bet she wanted you guys to protect whoever was dumb enough to attack us.” Mark knew how deadly he and Aylin were as a team and individually.

Henry and his friend had decided to work over the red-haired woman who turned Amy over to the authorities. Amy’s mother had gotten a visit from child services over the abuse her daughter had received from her. Since he knew where to find the woman responsible. He was going to wait until her restaurant was closed and then attack her.

Henry was surprised to see her walking around outside by herself without her purse or anything. He and his friend had managed to surprise her and when he went to work her over. She did something he hadn’t expected and was finding himself and his friend getting their ass's hands on them.

He didn’t realize this red-haired woman was such an experienced fighter. Just as he is knocked out, he spots three other people standing and watching them fight.

“That’s my girl.” Mark walks over to Aylin when she knocks both people out.

Aylin turns around when she hears Mark’s voice. She didn’t have a mark on her “This guy wanted to hurt my sister.” As she kicks the guy in his stomach.

“How come, sweetie?” Mark was curious.

“Over some girl.” Aylin looks down at the guy.

“Well, I think he learned his lesson.” Mark had a cheshire smile on his face.

“He’s lucky I didn’t kill him.”

“Why don’t you two head inside? We’ll handle this.” Bert figures he and Angel didn’t need to be there at the family reunion.

“Okay. If you need us, you know where to find us.” Mark escorts Aylin toward the front of the restaurant.

Just before he knocks on the door, he looks at his wife “Are you ready for this?”

“No, but I want to see if what Archie said is true.” Aylin takes a deep breath to relax.

“Well, I’m here with you, sweetie.” Mark holds his wife’s hand.

“Thanks” Aylin places a kiss on Mark’s cheek.

“And away we go,” Mark says in his best Snagglepuss voice.

Mark knocks on the restaurant door and spots Archie’s face appears. He spots a smile appear on Archie’s face as he unlocks the door and opens it.

“Thanks for coming sis.” As Archie steps aside to let them in.

Amelia and Edith were standing nearby when they heard the knocking on the door. Amelia was holding her mother’s hand as they watched
Archie open the and then step aside. The first person to walk through was a black-haired guy wearing a business suit. There was a smile on his face.

They watch as he walks past Archie. Behind him was a woman identical to Amelia, except a little shorter. Both women cover their mouths.

“I don’t believe it.”

Thursday Evening, The Abbey, St. Ives, Cornwall, England:
“I don’t believe it.” Amelia, Ralph, and Edith couldn’t believe the woman walking in behind the gentleman.

She was identical to Amelia in every way, just a little shorter. Edith was even more surprised because she thought Aylin was dead. She had seen the picture of Aylin lying in the coffin.

Aylin stops next to her husband and looks at the two women and the gentleman standing near them. She figures from the way he kept looking at the women, that one of them must be his wife and the other must be his mother. She looks at the woman who looks like her. She noticed the woman was only half a foot taller than her.

She was also identical to her in every way, except she kept her hair shorter than she did. Aylin noticed the way she was standing and the surprised look in the other woman’s eyes.

“Honey, I think we found your double.” Mark had leaned close to Aylin to speak to her.

Ralph looked at his wife and then over towards her twin. The two of them reminded him of how their daughters were. There was a big difference between the two women.

Archie steps up to Aylin and Mark “Well, sis. I think the two of you have a lot of catching up to do.”

Mark looks at Archie and then over towards Aylin’s sister and the woman standing next to her.

“Aylin, is that you?” Edith couldn’t believe that she had lived.

Aylin looks at the woman “Do I know you?”

“No, but I know you. I was there the night your mother gave birth to you and your sister.” Edith walks over to Aylin.

There were tears in her eyes as she looked at Aylin. She reaches her hand up and caresses Aylin’s cheek. She could see some of the minor scars on Aylin’s pale face.

Aylin stood still when the older woman touched her face. She didn’t like people touching her, except her husband and children. She looked into the older woman’s eyes and saw how much she missed her.

“Why don’t we sit down and I’ll fix you ladies some drinks.” Ralph knew where his wife kept her liquor in the restaurant.

“I think that’s a good idea.” Archie watches as Amelia watches her adopted mother.

Amelia walks up to her sister. She still couldn’t get over the fact that she had a sister.

“Do you mind if I give you a hug?” Amelia noticed her twin was shorter than her.

“No, I don’t mind.” As Aylin hugs her twin sister.

“I’ll help you.” Mark figures the sisters need to get to know one another.

Ralph leads Mark into the back with Archie following them. Archie figures his sisters need to get to know one another.

“Why don’t we sit over here, girls.” Edith looked at both girls and loved that Aylin was alive. The last time she saw the two girls together was the day they were born.

Aylin and Amelia walked over to the table Edith motioned to them to sit down. Amelia looks at her sister “What happened to you?”

“What do you mean?” Aylin was puzzled.

“Why did our father put you in a mental hospital?” Amelia was curious about that.

“Because I saw him, kill our mother. He pushed her down the stairs during a thunderstorm.”

“You saw this?” Edith looks at Aylin to see if she is telling the truth.

“Yes, I witness it. I was heading to our parent’s bedroom because I was scared during the thunderstorm.” Aylin still had nightmares of that night.

“How did you end up being admitted to a mental hospital?” Edith was curious about that.

“He drugged my juice with some sort of drug. When police came to investigate how our mother died. Whatever drug he used on me, caused me to act crazy. Which, he put me in a mental hospital for.”

“Are the stories true, that you killed people?” Amelia wanted to know if what she heard about the Hatter was true.

Aylin takes a breath lets it out and looks at Edith and Amelia “You have to understand that I spent eight years in the mental hospital, being experimented on. Our father gave the head doctor in charge of the place permission to perform whatever experiments he wanted on me. I was electrified, drugged, beaten, and had sections of my skin removed from my body. He even allowed others to perform experiments on me to see why people feared certain things and how to help them overcome those fears”

“How did you survive that?” Amelia looked at her twin and wondered how she survived.

“Mentally I didn’t. I lost who I was and became someone else. It was because of that other personality that I survived.” Aylin couldn’t think of
another way to describe how she became the Hatter.

“How did you escape and what happened afterward?” Edith heard about a doctor being killed.

“Most of what happened that day is still fuzzy to me. However, I killed the two orderlies that took pleasure in raping and beating me. As for the doctor who tortured me. I came back after I escaped and rigged his car to explode.”

“How did you survive, after you escaped?” Amelia was curious how her twin survived.

“I was found by a couple who spotted me digging through some trash looking for something to eat. They saw how wild I looked and the strange clothes I was wearing. Instead of being afraid of me, they took me in and helped me overcome the madness that was swirling around inside of my head. They restored some of my humanity.”

“How about the other murders you have committed?” Amelia wanted to know why her sister did what she did and if the rumors were true.

“Everyone I killed deserved what they got. I never took an innocent life.” Hatter never killed anyone who didn’t deserve it.

“Why did you kill our father?” Amelia wanted to know the truth about that.

“Think about it, sis. He put me in a mental hospital to cover up the crime he committed against our mother. He left me in the hands of a mad doctor to do as he pleased. And, all he cared about was having a son. It has taken me a long time and a lot of prodding from my husband to even talk to Archie. I still feel cheated that all our father wanted was a boy, instead of us.” Aylin knew how their father felt because he took it out on their mother and her as well.

Edith looked at Aylin and knew she was right about Mr. Green. All he cared about was having a son to carry on the family name. He had been disappointed when he found out that the second baby had died. Which all of them, except him knew was false. Mrs. Green gave birth to twin girls.

Amelia looked at her sister and couldn’t believe how hard her life had been. She had a nice life with her mother and adopted brothers. She had a successful restaurant, a loving husband, and two wonderful daughters.

“I’m sorry you had to go through what you did, Aylin. Your mother never wanted you to experience anything like that.” Edith knew how Lady Hollace felt about her girls.

“That brings up a question I have been thinking about. Why did our mother let one of us go and how did she choose who to keep?” Aylin was curious about that.

“Believe me when I say, your mother didn’t want to let either one of you go. She loved both of you. She chose you because Amelia was born a few minutes after you.” Edith knew Aylin was born first.

“And because our father thought our mother gave birth to a son. He didn’t question it.” Aylin could see why Edith and her mother hid Amelia’s birth.

“I killed our father too fast.” Aylin wishes she hadn’t killed him so fast now.

“Aylin, your father was an evil man and tricked your mother into marriage. The thing was, she did love your father and everything was fine at first between them. However, everything changed after your girls were born. He wanted a boy so much.”

“I remember how our father was when we weren’t in the public eyes.” Aylin’s memories from that time were spotty, but she knew how her father was.

“If we are twins. Why are you so much shorter than me?” Amelia was curious about that.

“Probably, because of the drugs used on me. The doctor of the mental hospital used to like to use me as his test subject for all sorts of drug trials and just to torture me when he was in a bad mood.”

“Aylin, do you have a birthmark on your lower back?” Edith knew how to tell if Aylin was who they thought was.

“Yes, but only half of it.” Aylin stood up and lifted her blouse so Edith could see her lower back.

Both Edith and Amelia gasped when they saw the patch of skin that had been removed from Aylin’s back. They saw the birthmark, but also the onion skin where the skin had been removed.

“Why did the doctor do that to you?” Amelia couldn’t believe she could see the veins and muscles beneath the onionskin.

Aylin fixes her blouse and sits back down. She looks at her sister “I don’t know. He has removed large sections of my skin.”

“Oh, sis. I’m so sorry.” Amelia gets up and walks around to her twin sister.

Tears leak from Aylin’s eyes as Amelia held her. Something inside of her knew she could trust this woman and it was so familiar being near her. She also felt something inside her mind awakened as well.

While girls were talking in the front part of the restaurant. Archie, Mark, and Ralph were making drinks at the back of the restaurant. The restaurant didn’t have a bar, but a section where all the liquor Amelia sold was kept.

Ralph looks at Mark “So, how did you and Aylin meet?”

“We meet at the statue of Alice in Wonderland in Central Park. She has a thing for the stories of Alice, especially the Mad Hatter.”

“I always wonder why Aylin chose the Mad Hatter to model herself after.” Archie looks at Mark for an explanation.

Mark takes a sip from his glass of Bourbon. It wasn’t the brand he would have chosen for himself, but it was still good.

“It’s because she could relate to the character. The stories of Alice were all she ever had to get her through the terrible ordeal she had to live through. When the doctor who experimented on your sister let the other patients under his care watch television. She watched a movie about
Alice and fell in love with the version of the Hatter, Johnny Dep played. From that moment on, her subconscious started developing that character in her head and when things got to be too much for her. The Hatter would surface to protect her mind. The day she escaped from the mental hospital; the Hatter was presence.” Mark had to figure out some of what he said on his own.

Sometimes when they were sleeping, the Hatter would surface and realize that he was there. The first time it happened, it startled him, but later he accepted it.

“Okay, how come she is so normal, now?”

Ralph has been quiet, while he listened to Archie and Mark. It seemed that there was a lot about his wife’s past that even he didn’t know much of.

“Because she has had a lot of people helping her. Aylin has changed and the Hatter persona has merged with her normal personality.” Mark has noticed the merger himself.

“Do you and Aylin have any children, Mark?” Ralph looks at Mark and sips his drink.

“We have four children. Our oldest is sixteen years old. How about you?” Mark was curious.

“Wait a minute. You and Aylin have four kids?” Archie looks at Mark for clarification.

“Yeah, our oldest is Bree and she is sixteen years old. Your sister adopted her when she was ten years old. Then there is Hollace and little Mark, who our of our blood, and Julie who we adopted. She’s a year older than Hollace.”

“How old is your son?” Ralph was curious.

“Almost a year old.”

“So, I have nieces and nephews?” Archie looks at Mark.

“Yep, you do. I thought since you have been to my house. You would have met them.”

“I think I met your oldest daughter, but not the others,” Archie remembers meeting the young girl.

“How about you? Do you and Amelia have children?” Mark was curious about Ralph and Aylin’s twin sister.

“We have twin girls that are fifteen years old.”

“I bet that is a challenge?” Mark knew he would be confused if they had twins.

“It is. The girls like to play pranks on us. Except, Amelia knows which child is which.” Ralph knew his wife knew which girl was which when they tried to get away with confusing them.

“That has to be weird. Oh, one more thing, Archie. You have an adopted sister. Aylin adopted one of our teammates as her sister.”

“I have another sister?” Archie didn’t know that was possible.

“Yep, Aylin adopted a young woman by the name of Jamie Hester. She’s a member of our group and your sister’s sister. The two of them when they are doing things together and unbelievable.” Mark wanted to say more, but there were things they needed to keep secret for now.

“I’m going to have to meet her.” Archie takes another sip from his drink.

“I think we should head back out to the girls and see how things are.” Mark was wondering about the girls.

“I agree.” Ralph fixes a drink for his wife and for his mother-in-law.

All three men head towards the ladies with drinks in their hands.

Mark could tell Aylin was thinking about something on the ride back to the manor house. She was unusually quiet.

“Penny, for your thoughts, sweetie?” Mark looks at his wife.

Aylin turns to look at her husband. She couldn’t believe everything she learned after meeting with her twin sister and the woman who delivered her. Archie had informed them about what life had been like up to the point where she killed their father. Afterward, when his mother remarried, he had a better life.

“What are you thinking about, sweetie?”

“Just how much I missed knowing I have a sister. When I first saw her, I didn’t want to believe it, but something inside me knew. It was like I
always knew another part of me was out there somewhere.”

“Well, researchers have been researching identical twins for a long time and discovered that sometimes a particular bond forms between them,
just like the bond between you and the kids. Your maternal instincts are aware when they get hurt or are scared. I wouldn’t be surprised if you and your sister didn’t have that bond. You’re both from the same group of cells that split to form two different individuals.” Mark was guessing,
figured that there had to be something between them.

“Maybe. I just hope her kids will like me.”

“What’s there not to like?” Mark kisses Aylin on the lips.

He held her against his body and let her know she was a special person. They stay like that as the SUV drives up the long driveway toward the manor house. Her sister and her family would see them at another location halfway between the Manor house and the restaurant. The property belonged to the Bounty family and was a lovely estate with the Bounty family for a long time.

Bret and Angel were going to stay with them and get some sleep as Bret parked the SUV next to the other one. Bret reaches over and lightly shakes Angel’s shoulder.

“Wake up. We’re back at the manor house.”

“Sorry for falling asleep.” As Angel rubs the sleep from her eyes.

“It’s okay. No one was dumb enough to attack us. They would have been dealt a quick and painful death.” Mark knew what Aylin would have done to them.

Bret grabs his and Angel’s overnight bags from the back of the SUV and carry them inside. Aylin shows them to the guest room, which had been made up for them. It had two separate beds in the room.

“See you guys in a few hours.” Mark and Aylin headed towards their bedroom.

When they walked into the bedroom, they discovered Hollace and Julie laying in their bed. A smile appears on Aylin’s face as she changes into her night gown. She looks over towards Mark and he had a smirk on his face. He knew the girls wouldn’t stay in their bed. They liked sleeping with them.

Aylin moves the girls over towards the middle of the bed and crawl in next to them. Julie snuggles closer to her and bury her face between Aylin’s breasts. Aylin holds her against her body. She glances over Julie’s body and saw that Mark was holding Hollace against his body.

When Bree wakes up, she checks to see if her parents are back. She peeks into their bedroom and spots her sisters snuggled against her parents. A smile appears on her face as she goes to check on her little brother.

After helping Leandra with her little brother, she walks down to the kitchen and fixes herself some breakfast. She knew Leandra could do that, but she liked to cook like her mother.

Leandra looks at the young teenage girl as she fixes her breakfast. She sat and watched as Bree moved around the kitchen. Anything Bree couldn’t find. Leandra would tell her where it was.

She spoke to Bree last night about what she wanted to do after high school. Bree said that she wanted to attend school and get a degree in working with special needs students like herself.

Bree informed her that she volunteered at some shelters her mother sponsored. She helped veterans and special needs kids like herself. She also taught handicapped kids how to defend themselves from bullies. She had been bullied at the private school she attended, but instead of telling her mother and father. She handled it herself.

After breakfast, Leandra lets Bree go for a ride. She checks on Hollace and Julie and finds them lying between their parents. The girls didn’t want to leave the bed unless they had to pee.

Leandra makes them get up and get dressed. She informs them that their parents got in late last night and needed the rest. She escorts the two young girls to their bedroom and helps them change clothes.

Aylin and Mark sleep through the afternoon. Aylin was the first one up as she stumbled into the bathroom to relieve her bladder. She grabs her house robe, slips on her slippers, and goes downstairs.

When she enters the kitchen, she spots Angel and Bret fixing themselves food. She waves to them, walks over, and puts some tea on to brew. She wasn’t a coffee drinker like Mark.

“What are your plans for today?” Aylin looks towards Bret and Angel for an answer.

“Nothing unless you have something you and your family want to do. We’ve been assigned to you guys.”

“Afternoon, Mommy.” Bree walks over to her mother and hugs her.

“Morning, sweetie.” Aylin returns the hug. She holds Bree in her arms. She loved her oldest child as if she gave birth to her.

Bree stays in her mother’s arms. She loved being held by her. If it wasn’t for her saving her six years ago. She wouldn’t know what her life would have been like under her birth mother.

Bree looked into her mother’s eyes since they were almost the same height. She was a little taller than her mother. “when do we get to meet your sister, Mom?”

“In a few days. We will meet them at an estate owned by Uncle Jack’s family.”

“Does your twin have children?” Bree wonders what her mother’s twin was like.

“Yes, she has twin teenage girls a year younger than you.”

“Cool.” Bree wonders what they look like and if she could tell the difference between them.

Aylin could see the mischief in Bree’s eyes. If her nieces weren’t mischief, they would be after meeting Bree.

Bret looks at Aylin and her oldest as they stand nearby. He knew Bree was about sixteen and wanted to help people like her.

“Bree, I did your laundry. Why don’t you go and put it away, please?” Leandra looks towards Bree.

“Yes, ma’am.”

Bree hugs her mother again before walking off to put away her clean clothes. As she walks by, her father “Also, I want to see you complete your classwork, young lady.”

“Yes, daddy.” A smile appears on Bree’s face as she skips pass him.

In the upcoming days, plans were set in motion for Amelia and Aylin’s families to meet at a location owned by the Bounty family. The place was big enough for everyone to stay. Amelia informed her executive chief John Pierra that she would be taking a few days off for personal reasons and was leaving the restaurant in his capable hands.

She knew John wouldn’t let her down. As for her family, she tells her girls that they will be visiting a friend and that they should pack for a few days. She already got in touch with their teachers and got whatever classwork they will be missing while they are gone. As for her husband, she knew he made arrangements already.

As Amelia is packing, she stops and looks at herself in the mirror directly in front of her. She has always felt something was missing in her life, but she could never put her finger on it. Now everything made sense to her about the horrible dreams she used to have when she was younger.

She had read somewhere that identical twins have a close bond and that sometimes that bond allowed them to experience pain or memories from each other. Now she knew the truth about why things in her past happened and she didn’t know why. She had seen the same thing with her girls since they were like her and Aylin.

As she finishes packing and helping her husband pack their luggage into the car. She hopes her girls like their new aunt.

“Mom, where are we going?” Carrie looks at her mother when she asks her.

“You’ll see sweetie. I don’t want to spoil the surprise.” A smile appears on Amelia’s face as she looks at the directions she was given to the place.

Ralph looks at his wife and smiles. He hopes the girls like their new aunt. He starts the car up and drives towards the location.

Archie’s Place:
Archie is surprised to see a friend of his from school. He looks at her “Natalie, what are you doing here?”

“What? Aren’t you glad to see me?” Natalie smiles at Archie as he walks over to his car.

“Yes, but I have someplace to be and I don’t have time to spend with you.” Archie has always liked Natalie. She was one of the popular girls in school and was a close friend of his.

The guys didn’t know he wanted to join the Secret Service, but she did. She had an uncle that was an agent.

“I thought I would hitch a ride with you.” Natalie smiles sweetly at him.

“That depends, where are you going?” Archie didn’t mind giving Natalie a ride.

“Why, the same place you are. Now, let’s get a move on and I’ll explain everything to you en route.” Natalie gets in his car.

“This better be good.” As Archie sets his overnight bag in the trunk.

“Oh, it is.” A giggle escapes from Natalie as she watches Archie.

Archie walks around to the driver's side and gets in. He doesn’t bother playing his music as he puts the car into gear and drives down the driveway. He glances over towards Natalie and notices she is smirking.

“Alright, spill the beans, Nat.”

Archie wanted to know why the girl he had known since he was a teenager was coming with him to meet his sisters. He knew everyone in his school thought the two of them would hook up, but he never did.

Natalie breathes in slowly and lets it out. She turns around in her seat and looks at Archie.

“I was assigned to watch over and protect you back when your sister stopped being the Hatter. My superiors were worried that some of her
enemies here in England would retaliate against you to strike back at her. And several did attempt to do that, but they met an unfortunate end.”

“Are you serious?” Archie looks at Nat.

“Yep, I’m deadly serious. You see, your sister Aylin is part of a very powerful family here in England. My superior felt that you would need long time protection and I just happened to be picked to watch over you. When you applied to join MI 6. My assignment ended. I didn’t have to hide who I was anymore from you.” Natalie was kind of glad her assignment had ended but disappointed as well.

“So, that is the reason you became friends with me and my buddies?” Archie wanted the truth.

“Initially, but over time I learned you guys weren’t that bad.” Natalie liked being around them.

“Were those your true parents that came to school with you?”

“No, they were agents who specialize in undercover work. I have no parents or family. I was recruited at a young age to become an agent.”

“How young?” Archie was curious.

“Six years old. I was born with a very high intelligence and possess remember skills and talent.” Natalie remembered the endless tests she had been given when she was younger.

“Why would the government allow something like that to happen?” Archie wonders why their government would do that.

“It wasn’t the British government that recruited me. It was certain members of the family I work for that did.”

“Still to take a child and turn them into an agent, isn’t right.” Archie didn’t like that idea.

“Archie, my life in the orphanage was terrible. I wasn’t born here in England but in Russia. The orphanage I was living at was terrible and we
were treated as slaves. You have no idea how bad my life was before I was found and taken away from there.” Natalie hated she remembered everything because there were times, she relived what was done to her in that orphanage.

“Still, you were just a child.”

“Well, it doesn’t matter now and there isn’t anything I can do about the past. And to be honest with you, it was nice that the assignment I was given to watch over you was nice. Now, that I don’t have to watch over you anymore, I can do whatever I want to.”

“So, why are you here with me now?”

“Because I want to see this assignment to the end. Oh, before I forget. You do know you have been accepted as an agent for MI 6.”

“Yeah, I know.”

“Good, because you can’t tell anyone what you do. Well, there are some acceptations to the rule, but mostly you have to keep it secret.”

“So, how do you know I got accepted?” Archie glances towards Natalie for an answer.

A smile appears on Natalie’s face “If I tell you, I have to kill you and after keeping you alive all this time. I would hate to have to do that.”

South Otterington, Northallerton, North Yorkshire:
“Okay, I’m impressed.” Mark couldn’t believe the country estate Charlotte had arranged for them. He didn’t think the place would be so big and have so many buildings on the property.

“Man, it most cost the family a lot of money in taxes and maintenance to maintain this place.” Mark looks at Jacob and Jacob’s twin sister Patsy.

“Nah, we have several family-owned construction companies that look after all the properties we own.” Jacob had been asked by Thomas to come out to the property and get it ready for a huge family meeting.

As soon as he met Mark and Aylin, he knew right away who they were. Aylin was Anika’s oldest daughter. She was also the Mad Hatter before she disappeared ten years ago. He first met them at the funeral of Cara Bounty.

Mark laughs when he spots Hollace and Julie being chased by Pepper. The collie was playfully chasing after the little girls.

“That must keep you busy.” Mark turns his attention back to Jacob.

“It does. So, how much longer are you going to be in England?” Jacob was curious.

“Unfortunately, we have to head home in a few days. However, we might come back and spend the holidays with my wife’s sister or invite them to our place.”

“We’ll it is up to you if you do come back for the holidays. This place has been reserved for you guys. So, any time you’re in England. You have a place of your own.”

“Thanks, Jacob.”

“You’re welcome.”

Archie is the first to show up. He is given the choice of a place in the house or a small cottage to stay in. He chooses the main house. However, he does explore the place while Natalie talks to a young lady named Patsy.

Amelia and her family show up later in the afternoon and are amazed at the place. When Ralph pulls the car up to the front entrance to the place. He is met by Aylin, Mark, two young girls, and Aylin’s teenage daughter. He notices Aylin is holding a bundle in her arms.

“Mom, that woman looks like you.” Carrie and Angela couldn’t believe it.

“That’s because she is my long-lost twin sister.” As Ralph stops the car.

Ralph and the girls get out of the car and look at everyone gathered at the entrance. They watch as Aylin walks forward towards Amelia.

“Hi sis, I thought you might want to meet your nephew and my daughters.” Aylin watches her sister.

“May I?” Amelia wanted to hold her nephew.

“Of course.” As Aylin hands her son over to her sister.

A smile appears on Amelia’s face as she looks at the little boy. He had his mother’s and her eyes.

“He has our eyes, sis.” As Amelia looks at her sister.

“That he does, but this one, has our mother’s features.” As Aylin rests her hands on Hollace’s shoulder.

Amelia looks at Hollace and notices she has their mother’s features. Not even her daughters looked like their mother.

“I can’t believe it.” Amelia hands the little boy back to Aylin and kneels before Hollace.

Hollace looks at the woman who looks like her mother. She steps back against her mother’s legs.

“It’s okay Hollace. She’s my sister and your aunt.” Aylin felt Hollace’s back against her legs. She saw that Julie was holding Hollace’s hand.

Hollace looks at her aunt and wonders. She was still amazed that she looked like her mother.

“I bet she’s a handful like my daughters.” Amelia smiles at her.

“The two of them are my little mischief makers, like their older sister.” Aylin motions for Bree to step forward.

Amelia stands up and looks at Bree. According to her sister, she adopted Bree. Amelia holds her hand out to Bree “I’m your mom’s twin sister.
Let me introduce my husband Ralph and my two mischief makers.”

Bree is introduced to Carrie and Angela. The three teenagers look at each other and smile.

“I’m Carrie and this duplicate next to me is my twin, Angela.”

“It's nice to meet you two.” Bree smiles at the twins and gets a feeling they are going to have lots of fun.

“Why don’t we head inside and get to know each other better.” Archie was standing with Aylin and Mark.

“Sounds like a plan.” As Mark leads the way inside the house.

The next few days everyone gets to know each other better. Amelia helps Aylin with Hollace and Julie when she puts them to bed. She also enjoys holding little Mark as well.

As for the guys, they get to know one another a whole lot. Archie and Mark learn that they don’t want to play pool against Ralph. He creams them several times.

The twins and Bree start forming a strong bond. They try to confuse her and their aunt but learn that is impossible. Aylin catches them each time they try. Bree just laughs at them, because getting over on her mother is an impossible task.

The twins learn that Aylin is a lot like their mother in a few things. The only difference between them is that their mother doesn’t mind drinking coffee, but their aunt only drinks tea. Archie joins his sisters and learns about his nephew and nieces.

As for Natalie, she leaves on the second day. However, she does leave a note for Archie informing him how he can get in touch with her. She suggests that he contact her after he completes his training.

As for the holidays, Aylin and Amelia agree that Aylin should come back and spend the holidays with her.

“I think Ankia is going to be happy with our report, brother.” Patty looks at her brother.

“I think so too, twinsie.” Jacob turns and walks away.

Pattsy follows her brother.
