"Dear Danny, Sept 28th 2014

Ya know I never thought I'd be writing one of these to you. Believe me when I tell you that. It's been what three years? Since we last spoke. I guess we should get down to what I have been up too. There are a few pictures that I have enclosed with this letter. Please look at them. The first picture is a view in Seattle from my house. This is where part of the money went. See I never went too far. The next picture is my new car, a Toyota Camry, notice the four doors. Keep going Danny I know this is hard for you. Look at the next picture. It is you and me when we were kids, remember this Danny at the devils game. This is how I wanted you to remember me.

Should I have done the things that I did? No and in the back of my head I heard you nagging at me the whole time. Now the next two pictures is the last favor I am going to ask of you. The woman in the picture is Valerie Dominic, 33 years old, beautiful isn't she. I meant to tell you where I was and what I was doing. Well I met Valerie in Nashville; she was on vacation with a few friends. We had a few drinks at Tootsies and spent the next day together then parted ways. I had kept in touch with her and told her everything and she wanted to be with me. Well after getting through most of the tough stuff with deals with the government. Yep I'm in the clear except for this small problem. I know you will pull through, you always do. Anyway we got married in June and I wish you could have been there.

There is someone else I want you to meet, look at the next picture Danno. That is my son Antonio Williams, he turns three in October, look at those curls will you and that Williams smile. Anyway Danny, I want you to know that I love you. I think it is best if you give her the news, maybe bring Steve. Be good to her, she thought it was all over and frankly so did I. I told her I had a meeting in Japan. The fraud was all taken care of and the drug thing, I really thought I'd taken care of it. So you probably know that if you are reading this , I'm watching over my big brother now . It's my turn to take care of you. Please kiss Gracie for me.

Love forever, your baby brother – Matty

Danny read and re read the letter before him, looked over the pictures once more. It had been two days since he had returned. The letter had been waiting for him on his desk with the rest of the task forces bills he had to go threw. Danny put the letter down and rubbed his face. He did have to shave , Steve had mentioned to him that he needed to shave but he ignored the comment. He sighed as he picked up the report on his brother's death. Thankfully for Danny's piece of mind which was not fairing very well. Matt hadn't suffered and he hadn't been in that rusted out barrel long either. How that was supposed to be a relief? Danny really wasn't sure.

Danny also hadn't called his parents yet. However he did tell the police in jersey to let him tell them and he should be going home ,but he couldn't find what ever it was to go home and tell his mother and father he failed in keeping his baby brother safe . That Matty was dead. Danny looked at the phone and slowly dialed his childhood phone number. He shouldn't be doing this over the phone he should be in jersey with his family. His thoughts kept screaming at him as he listened to the ringing.

"Hey Pop" he began, his voice shook as he told his father and mother about Matt. His heart broke even more hearing parents mourn over their son. He spoke to his mother about arrangements and promised to call his sisters and coming home for a visit. He then decided to tell his mother the rest, about the note and this family Matt wrote about. He promised to contact the woman after his mother begged him to be nice.

"Ma, ma did you know?" Danny was afraid to know the answer.

"Danny"

"Ma , look , I know … listen let me call them and I'll call you back soon I promise . And Ma I love you and dad. Okay "Danny placed the phone back down.

Nothing made sense; it was like it all was rushing down on him. He suddenly had to get out of the office, away from Chin and Kono, away from Steve and the looks. Danny grabbed his keys and pictures and left the building. He didn't notice one of the pictures falling out of his hand as he stormed out of the building. He just needed to shut his brain down for a bit.

An hour later Steve came into the building ,his meeting with the Governor went longer than he thought and the whole time all that was on his mind was Danny . He noticed Danny's office door wide open but no Danny. He walked down to Chin's office and poked his head in.

"Chin; do you know where Danny went?"

"No brah, I'm not sure but Kono heard him talking to his family and said he took off a few minutes after that. Maybe he coming in was a mistake. I'm not sure his mind has fully wrapped around this loss"

Steve nodded in agreement. Danny loved his brother; maybe more than Steve loved Mary and there was no doubt that Steve loved his sister. Danny had his baby brother horribly ripped out of his life. Steve went back towards Danny's office. He walked in and the first thing he noticed was Danny's cell phone still on the desk, so there went calling him.

Honestly Steve had prayed that Matty was still alive, he really had. He almost had vomited when that barrel was rolled into the cantina. Nothing prepares you for that, he also was not prepared for Danny's reaction. And was not ready to watch Danny shoot his brother's killer. Steve then frowned and headed into his own office, but not before seeing a photo on the floor. Steve picked it up and looked at it. It was a picture of a woman with a thousand watt smile. He flipped the picture over.

"Valerie Dominic the love of my life –June 2nd 2014- Matt Williams"

Steve frowned once more 'Had Danny known where Matt was the whole time' he wondered as he sank behind his desk. Putting down the picture he groans as he noticed all the paper work he had to sign off on.
