The Letter
When everyone should have been happy something came in the mail that shook the core of Uncle Jesse's body. It was late September, 1983. Luke, after spending four months in the hospital was finally home; the harvest seemed to be going well; and life for KK seemed to be getting back to normal, whatever normal was? Everything was fine and dandy until Uncle Jesse received a letter from the province of Alberta, Canada.
Dear Mr. Duke,
First of all let me introduce myself. My name is Jean Igganrouscher. My husband Bill and I are Peg's parents, who was KK's mother. The reason why I'm writing to you is that I need to inform you that KK and her two sisters are in grave danger.
Uncle Jesse couldn't believe what he was reading. He had always suspected that KK was in danger just because of past events but for someone to put it in writing that shook him.
Please pardon the bold way of putting this but after years of secretly searching I have finally found my grandbabies. I need to explain to you what is going on so you can protect KK and even Aaron and Karen if need be.
My daughter Peg and John met while they were in school in England. I know that John's father, Jackson, walked out on John while growing up and did not provide him much support. I also know that a few years ago Jackson was killed in a bar fight and I wouldn't put past John that he threw that fatal punch.
Uncle Jesse again was stunned. He knew that either this lady was related or has done extensive research on the family and knows way too much for his comfort level. Something told him that she was related to the girls and only had their best interest for them.
Anyways, I sending this letter to you to inform you that KK and her sisters may have special powers that you can't understand. If their father finds out where they are at there's a potential danger that he could kidnap them and use their powers for evil.
I know that you probably find this letter hard to understand but please keep them safe and away from their father.
If you would like more information, send a letter to the address on the envelope but do not address the envelope to anyone and don't put your return address on it either.
Sincerely,
Ms. I.
Now Uncle Jesse was thoroughly confused. KK had shown some type of power but this letter made him think that something was going to be terribly wrong soon for KK, Karen, and Aaron and he surmised that nothing he or the rest of the family could protect them from.
It was more curiosity than anything else. He wanted to more about KK and her family history but yet he was tempered by the fact that her father was running around, out there, somewhere, wanting to knock both her and her sisters off. He decided he needed someone to talk to and there was no one better than Luke.
How in the world was he going to explain this to him?
