Chapter 47
« I'm sorry. » Liam said three weeks later.
Sky looked at him and said nothing.
«But ya shouldn't have hid from me.I was kinds freaked out. » Liam admitted.
« Then don't do it again. » Sky told him simply.
« That's it? » Liam asked surprised, « You're not gonna yell at me or anything? I ran away for crying out loud! »
« I'm not you're mother, kid, and we both paid for it, for that game we each played with each other. » Sky told him evenly.
« Jeez, you're some easy. » Liam told him cockily.
« Watch it, kid, I can always bring you back to jail. » Sky warned.
Liam raised an eyebrow, « You wouldn't. » Liam stated.
« Why the hell not? » Sky asked.
« I"m your brother. » Liam answered simply.
Sky got up from the old couch, he walked to the window and then turned around and met his brothers gaze, « You're right, kid, I wouldn't, cause were brothers trough and trough. »
« Good. » Liam said and grinned.
Sky rolled his eyes. Someone knocked at the door.
Sky went to the door and opened it, who he saw shook him to the core. At first, he was sure it was his father, but some basic instinct told him otherwise.
« Sky? » the man asked.
Blade was pretty damn sure this was the nephew he had never met.
« Ya? » Sky asked.
« I'm your uncle Blade. »
Liam ran to the door, shock written all over his face. Blade raised an eyebrow at his nephew's size. He had grown at least a foot in three years. "Hey, Liam."
"Jeez, Blade.what ya doing here?" Liam asked.
Sky did a quick assumption in his head; the only way that he could have been traced was if Liam had been printed while he had been behind bars and that is if he had been in the computer at all. So, obviously he had been.
"Prints?" Sky asked his uncle that looked so much like his father.
Blade raised a surprised eyebrow, his nephew was sharp, real sharp. "Ya."
Liam looked guilty.
"Don't worry about it kid." Sky reassured him.
Blade looked down at is young nephew, "You were in jail?" Blade asked him.
Liam looked away.
Blade didn't push the subject.
Sky got right down to business, "So, what you doing here?"
"I can't force you to do anything, but the kid needs to be home." Blade told him.
"He lives with me, it's his choice." Sky said.
"You didn't grow up with you're parents.how did that change you're life?" Blade asked him evenly.
"It's not the same.I didn't have a choice." Sky defended himself.
"Word is, Ames White was found assassinated nine years after you had been taken, yet you only showed up three years after that." Blade told him.
"I had things to work out." Sky sneered.
"Do you actually think your father doesn't know that? He practically gave up his life for you, his son, yet he didn't even know you, but he sacrificed everything he had.for you!" Blade accused him, "Sometimes he would leave for months at a time, just out looking for you."
Sky was surprised at this information. "Does he know you're here?"
"I called him an hour ago, told him that Liam had been arrested in New York City." Blade admitted.
Sky grinned, "Bet he didn't like that."
Blade winced, "No, I don't think he did."
"He coming here?" Liam asked finally.
"He took the first flight out." Blade answered.
Sky wasn't to happy about that.
"Look, it's up to you whether you want to be here when he gets in town, but he's looking forward to seeing ya.and I'm taking Liam with me." Blade told him.
"NO!" Liam yelled, he went to Sky and met his uncle's gaze, "I'm staying with Sky."
Blade was surprised and decided to say nothing. "Well, I guess I can't fight ya. Do you want me to give anything to your father when he gets here?"
"Ya, just hold on." Sky went to the desk and pulled out a peace of paper. He quickly wrote a paragraph and folded it up. He then handed it to his uncle.
"Don't read it, it's.personal." Sky told him. "Deal, just call your mom for me, will ya?" Blade asked.
Sky nodded.
Blade left with a hug from Liam and a firm handshake from Sky.
The boys quickly packed and went to their motorcycles (Liam had one too now). They headed North to Chicago.

Alec was anxious to actually see at least one of his sons. He went to the hotel his brother was staying at and knocked on his door. Blade answered and Alec pushed his way in, looking around wildly.
"They're not here." Blade told him.
"What? You didn't find them?" Alec asked.
"Oh, I found them, but they wouldn't come with me."
Alec looked away hurt.
"Don't sweat it, Alec. They were healthy and Liam's grown a foot, at least. Sky told me to give you this; your son is sharp. He knew I wasn't you and he guessed immediately how I'd found them."
Alec took the peace of paper from Blade. -thanks- he said in his head.
He opened the letter and started to read,
Dad, Blade told me all that shit about you looking for me your whole life, god only knows why, I'm not that important. Anyway, don't sweat it, I'll bring Liam home soon, kid needs his parents. I've took care of him best I could, but it sure don't amount to what a mom and dad could do for his kid. What do I know? I never had that luxury. Tell mom I love her.I do. And man to man, I'm not the emotional type, but you mean a lot to me.I mean it. See ya soon.
Your lost son, Sky
