Tyne narrowed her eyes. " why are you here?" she growls. The male grins. " it has been awhile hasn't? dear sister." He takes his sister's hands. " you've surely grown up a lot since the last time I saw you." Tyne pulls away. " don't touch me!" she hisses. The male was shocked. " you don't remember your own brother?" Tyne shakes her head. " I don't remember who you are!" The male catches her fist. " don't lie sister. Let me jog your memory. I was the one that taught you how to steal from trains. I'm the one that took care of you when dad wasn't around." Tyne calms. " Andrew?" Andrew smiles. " I'm sorry I've been through a whole lot." She whispers. Andrew purrs. " if you would have recognized me off the block I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have been the Tyne that I knew and loved." Tyne glares at him. " that doesn't tell me why you are here?" Andrew sits down in a chair. " I was in the neighborhood. I thought why not see my dear sister?" He leans back. " but I've also come with a favor to ask."

Fletch hears his wife's voice shouting from the other side of the door. " no absolutely not!" she yells. " I refuse to be apart of the family business again!" Fletch opens the door. He sees Andrew standing there. " who is this?" he asks firmly. Tyne calms herself. " Fletch, this is my brother Andrew." She murmurs. " what's this about asking her to go back?" he growls. Andrew chuckles. " oh Tyne." He laughs harder. " you think you can outrun your past? Look being a thief is part of you." Tyne shakes her head. " no that's not how I am now. I'm a mother. I'm a chuggineer. I have a husband." She explains. " Andrew your my brother but no I can't go back to that life anymore." She whispers. Andrew sighs. " Tyne, I suppose I can't force you to make you choose." He gets up. " uh well it was nice being able to see you at least." He turns to Fletch. " oh and also you too Fletch." Fletch nods. " likewise." Tyne watches her brother leave without saying another word to him. Tyne sits down holding her knees. Fletch sits on the couch comforting her. " shh it's okay we'll figure all of this out." Tyne cuddles close to him.

Taya comes in seeing her mother in tears. Taya races to her jumping into her lap. She hugged her neck. " I can't go back." She whispers. " I can't go back to that life." Fletch kisses her forehead. " then don't." he whispers. " Tyne just keep your answer as no." Tyne nods she dries her eyes. " If he keeps asking then I will take care of him." Murmurs Fletch. Tyne looks up at him. " you won't kill him right?" Fletch shakes his head. He lifts her chin up kissing her on the lips. " not if you don't want me too." Taya hugs her mom. Tyne hugs Taya back. " come on we're done for the day." He helps Tyne to stand up wrapping an arm protectively around her. Tyne is shaking. Should I tell him? She wondered. Fletch helped her into her car. " I'll see you at the house." He murmurs. Tyne nods kissing him. " okay be careful." Tyne rolls the window back up. Taya watches her mom put the keys into the ignition shakingly. The car starts up and Tyne pulls away from the site. Fletch hops on his bike following his wife back to their house. He was secretly troubled by Tyne's change in behavior.

Cormac was outside in the back yard playing with Tyler. " come on Ty! It's time to get back inside!" he shouted. " aww! Okay uncle Cormac!" Tyler jumps down from the swing that Fletch had tied to the branch of an old oak tree. Cormac caught him carrying him inside. He closes the porch door with his foot. " we'd better get washed up before ya mom gets home." He chuckles. Tyler nods. " alright.' They each take turns washing their hands just as Tyne puts the key into the lock. She opens it seeing her son running to her. " mommy!" he shouts. She squats down catching him. " hi baby." She purrs. Tyler nuzzles his mom gently. " momma! I mastered the swing!" Tyne smiles. " that's good baby." She lets go of him. Fletch walks in. " Papa!" he jumps into his dad's arms too. Fletch let's out a huge purr. He hugged his son tight. Fletch puts his son down. " thanks again Cormac for watching him." Cormac chuckles. " haha no need. I enjoyed watching him actually." Taya walks in seeing her mother's aura change again. Tyne walked past Fletch and Cormac. Taya trots after her. " mom?" she asks. She hears her parent's bedroom door close. She runs to it opening it up. She hears her mother shuffling through something. She hears Tyne talking to herself. " mom?" Tyne's head shoots up. " Taya! I mean hi hun!" Taya approached her. " what's that?" she points to a book in Tyne's hand. " umm this isn't anything you need to worry about."

Taya sees Tyne's body language change. " I can't tell you." She whispers. " I'm sorry Taya." Taya gulps looking down. " why not?" Tyne frowns. " I don't want to hurt the image you have of me now. The other part of me if I reveal it to you will only hurt you." Taya nods. She hugs her mom. " mommy are you going to leave me?" Tyne shakes her head. " no I'm going to keep my promise to you. You mean the world to me." She hold onto her tight. " I can't lose you again not now not ever." Taya cuddles closer. " Mom what are you afraid of?" Tyne looks down. " monsters. I'm a…" she cuts herself off.
