Milkshake had stopped crying. Racetrack lifted her head off of his shoulders so he could look at her.

" Tell me what's wrong doll." He said wiping tears off of her cheeks.

Milkshake was silent for a little bit.

" I need to tell Sparks first." She said quietly.

" Ok darling that's fine." He kissed her forehead. "Why don't you go down and tell her, she and Spot are sitting outside."

Milkshake nodded, and stood up.

" I hope she isn't mad at me Spot."

Sparks and Spot were sitting on the steps of the lodging house.

" She has nothing to be mad about. You didn't do anything did ya? Unless, maybe she thinks ya stole her man." Spot smirked.

Sparks ignored Spot's joke. She was really upset.

" I'm serious Spot." He knew she was, she looked on the verge of tears.

" Don't worry, Sparks, everything will be fine." He said putting his arm around her and pulling her close.

Just then the door of the lodging house opened, and out walked Milkshake and Racetrack.

Sparks and Spot stood up.

" Hiya Milkshake." Sparks said quietly. "umm.. are you ok?"

" Physically yes, emotionally, no. Can you come with me for a walk? I need to tell you something."

Sparks nodded and started walking with Milkshake through Manhattan.

" So what's going on Milkshake? I've been really worried about you."

" This whole thing, it's about your Aunt."

" What about my Aunt Mildred?" Sparks stopped and the girls faced each other.

" You mean, Mrs. Mildred Jane Constance Foster."

Sparks's face fell.

" How did you know that?" She said quietly.

" Name your cousins, all of them." Milkshake said sternly.

" um ok, well there is Jane, Anna, Thomas, and Jake."

" You're missing one, one you've never met. What is her name?"

"Brandie Foster. My Aunt Mildred's daughter."

Milkshake nodded, as tears started to well up in her eyes.

" Sparks.. I've never told you my real name before have I?"

Sparks shook her head. "What is it?" Sparks was starting to shake.

Milkshake sniffed as tears rolled down her cheeks.

" Brandie."
