Burned Into My Mind

10/30/04

Mark was on the ranch tending to some business while Sara was out tending to in home visits with clients of hers. Just wanting to get out of the house he hopped in his truck heading into town. By the time he got back to the ranch he saw the flag up on the mailbox for the main house. He pulled up grabbing the stack of letters figuring most of them were bills or letters to Sara.

Getting back to the house he unloaded the bags & started to put the purchases away when he remembered the stack of mail in the cab of the truck. He walked back out & was reaching over to grab the letters when he heard a whistle behind him.
"Hey hun how was work?"
"It was good." Sara walked over giving mark a playful swat on the ass. He just turned his head with a look. "Hey you know me I'm a hands on girl."
"Yeah…I'll give you some hands on work later dear." Mark moved shutting the door of the truck before heading inside Sara behind him. He tosses the mail in the table before going back to put the rest of the food away.

Sara went over sitting a the table to see what bills showed up when a plain envelope addressed to Mark showed in the stack. "Mark you got one here."
"Who from?"
Sara flipped it over looking at the back & then the front again. "Don't know."
"What to small to read or something?"
"No there isn't one."
"Guess someone just forgot or it was a sticker that came loose. I'll grab it in a minute almost done here." He finished with the last bag & made his way over to the table he leaned over giving Sara a quick kiss as he picked up the letter.

It just looked like whoever it was forgot to write it in as there was no residue of a sticker or anything. The writing on the letter was done in print so he didn't recognize anything about it that way. Taking in the details of the envelope itself his eyes rested on the postmark. If someone could look angry & worried at the same time that was him at that moment when he read Death Valley CA. He only knew of one thing out there, he calmed himself hoping maybe it was one of the guys pulling a joke since that is suppose to be the Deadman's home.

"I'm going in the den for a while."
"Oh your man cave."
"What ever dear." He gave one of his smirks as he walked away with the letter. Entering the room her shut the door he went to sit in the leather office chair grabbing the letter opener sliding it across the top & pushed it apart not sure what 'they' might has hidden inside. When nothing sprung out of it & saw no kind of dust her pulled out the sheet of paper inside opening it.

My Dearest Dad,

I know you might be surprised right now to be getting this letter from me, that or you think I wrote it earlier & just now asked someone to mail it. Then again for all I know you already suspected the truth. I know you were set to visit my mother the day I ran away from the ranch. I overheard Sara mentioned my mom was blackmailing you over me. With everything you had done for me I couldn't allow that. I was a very confused person then. I didn't even remember what it is that I am or could do. I guess part of the programming the doctors put my through to keep me controlled. I only found out over the last month or so that you know exactly what I am referring to. I hope you can forgive me first for all the damaged I caused around the ranch, I didn't even know I was the cause as first.

Second I hope you have it in your heart to forgive me for any grief I caused you with my stunt involving Adam. I will be honest with you, when I went to the arena that night, I was planning on using my rediscovered power to seriously hurt Adam, Amy or both. The thing is when I saw them leaving the building, the way they looked , the way they joked, my burning rage become self consuming sadness. I just wished them both well & left, I know you heard about what happened next. I watched everything from the near by trees. The size & heat of the explosion gave me enough time to hide.

I know even though I didn't physically harm him, I saw I strangely dealt a mental blow to Adam. A big part of me is glad he deserved it for the lies he told to my face. A small part of my feels guilt for the pain to him, though from what I read he still had Amy by his side at the time I am writing this. 'Jack' is helping me vanish off the grid so don't bother looking for me. Once again I am sorry for hurting you as well in all this mess.
Lovingly
Your Kitty Katherine

PS. The Organization as you knew it no longer exists, seems one of their trainees was more destructive then either of us.

Mark refolds the paper his head going back as he leans back in the chair. He lightly closed his eyes taking a breath it felt he had been holding since he read the first line of the later. His daughter was still alive, granted he didn't know where, but he could take some comfort in knowing she at least was. Could he tell anyone though? Who would believe him even if he wanted to. He wanted to let Sara know at least, but she didn't even know about his own past, how could he explain this to her? Maybe Glenn, he was like an uncle to Kat & out of anyone he would understand being a product of the 'Organization' himself. He knew the last person to tell would be Adam, to do that would be to betray Kat & Mark could never do that.

(So will Mark tell Sara Kat is alive & how that is even possible? What is The Organization? What is Mark & Glenn's connection to them? Please review.)
