Chapter 48
"That stubborn kid." Alec mumbled and had to smile, yet he felt sad at the same time; what the hell had his son meant when he had ended it with 'your lost son'. Christ the kid would be the death of him. He felt a little more reassured then he had when he'd come in.
He turned to Blade, "Let's go." Blade followed him out of the hotel.
They went home.

Chicago was probably as grimy and as dangerous as New York, but it would be a home for the brothers for a couple of weeks.
Sky had found a job at as a bartender at a popular bar in downtown Chicago. Liam did his home studies at night while Sky worked and in the day they mostly slept it away. Something pretty remarkable happened on night when Sky was working. It all started when a trio of tall men walked in. The thing was, anybody could tell that these three where triplets. Okay, so they all had different styles of hair and wore different styles of clothes, but the face was the same and so was the build. Sky didn't pay them much attention at first, but then they came and sat at the bar. They attracted a fair amount of girls; Sky knew how that felt, cause he had the same sex appeal.
The thing was, Sky kept looking up at them and frowning; there was something vaguely familiar about them. Then one of them ask him for a drink and their eyes met. Sky notice the eyes; they were deep blue, just like his. They both frowned and then looked away, shrugging the feeling off.
Sky thought nothing of it for another hour. The one with the bleach streaks in his hair came to pay their tab. He frowned at Sky and Sky met his perplexed gaze, "What?" Sky finally asked.
"Something about you." The guy mumbled. He paid the tab and then turned around to leave and that's when Sky saw the bar code on his neck, quickly read the number and frowned.
Sky knew for a fact that any transgenic descendent coming from a mother and a father that were transgenics that the child would either inherit the mothers bar code number or the father's, but the difference would be an added number, like for him, he had his father's bar code number and a 1 added on the end, while his sister had his mothers number and a 1 also added. Sky had noticed that Liam also had his fathers number, but a 3 added to the number, so his brother Damon probably had a 2. Anyway, the guy walking away from him had de number 4932 and he knew his fathers number was 494 and his was 4941, so that meant, whoever this guys father or mother was, he was born right before his father and the guy was the second person to take his mother or father's barcode number, obviously, the other two finished with 1 and 3. Something was up though, Sky was sure.
He walked out of behind the bar and walked up to the trio. He looked them over as they did the same, they were all confused, the guy that stood before them could easily have been their brother, "Who are you?" asked the one with the longer hair.
"Sky." Sky told them, "Who was your father?" he then asked.
They frowned, the one with the streaks in his hair answered, "Ben, but we were raised by our uncle, Zane and his wife, Wendy. Why? Who are you?"
Sky frowned, "Was your mother a transgenic, is Zane?"
"I don't know about our mom, we never met her, but Zane is, that's we were with when our dad died." He explained, then cautiously, he asked, "Could you be our brother?"
Sky doubted it, "No, but I highly think that we could be cousins. My father is a twin, or so I thought, obviously he's a triplet, see twins and triplets run's in our family. I'm a twin, my sister had twin girls, you guys are triplets."
"Shit, that's pretty wild, we never actually met a real cousin.our uncle Zane isn't really our uncle, but they have this thing about being brothers and sisters while they were at Manticore." The one with the earring in his ear said.
"I think we just might be cousins twice over. My mom was part of an outfit where they thought of themselves as brothers and sisters."
They all raised their eyebrows, "So what are your names" Sky asked.
"This is Rick," the one with the earring said while pointing at the one with the longer hair, "That's Jack," the one with the bleached streaks, "and I'm Nick."
"Nice to meet you." Sky said. "Let's say we bust out of this joint and go talk, or something." Sky suggested.
"Sounds good to me." Answered Rick; the other two nodded.
"How about we go see Zane?" Jack asked. "Sure, but I got to pick up my kid brother." Sky said.
"Does your family live here?" Nick asked.
Sky looked away, "No, they live in Seattle." He walked towards the door. The trio followed.
"Sorry, didn't mean to pry." Nick said.
Sky looked at him, "Look, I haven't exactly lived the ideal life, I never really lived with my family, my kid brother fell into step with me a couple of years ago, were the independent kind. We're just on our way back that way from a four year absence."
"Shit." Jack mumbled.
Sky said nothing and they made their way towards Sky and Liam's apartment. When they got there, Liam opened the door before Sky could even turn the handle. Sky had taught him well.
Liam cocked an eyebrow and studied the trio and then he frowned, "Are you Ben's sons?" he asked.
Sky was surprised that he knew of Ben.
"Ya, we are." Jack answered, surprised that this kid had figured it out.
"How do you know of our father?" Rick asked.
"Well, he was the brother dad never knew and he was mom's sort of like brother too and, well, I think she killed him when he went crazy and he begged her to kill him instead of manticore getting their hands on him again." Liam answered honestly.
Ben's sons had never heard this and they were shocked, "You're mother killed our father?" Jack asked.
"Ya, but he begged her too." Liam defended.
The guys grudgingly accepted this.
"Come on, were going to an uncle we never met." Sky told Liam.
***
When Zane saw Sky and Liam he was shocked. "I thought he was dead." He said, referring to Ben.
"He is." Sky told him, "We're his nephew, my father was one of Ben's triplet."
"Triplet?" he asked, surprised.
"Ya, and we're Max's sons." He supplied.
"Max?" his eyes went wide. "Maxie's alive?" he sat down on the chair, stunned. He looked up at his knew nephew, "I thought she died when Zack did."
Sky frowned, "Zack's not dead either. He lives on a farm outside of Seattle with six kids last time I saw him."
"Shit." Zane said. "Shit.well, I guess I'm going to Seattle, hell, I can't believe it; Max and Zack are alive." He said, almost talking to himself. He looked up at Sky and at Liam, "What are your names?"
"Sky."
"Liam."
"Zack married Jondy." Sky supplied.
Zane smiled smugly, "What do ya know, always knew they should get hitched. Shit, sit down kid and tell me every."
Sky and the rest of the gang sat down and talked for hours, all of them asking questions and getting answers. Sky knew a hell of a lot more now then he had before, obviously, Zack hadn't told him everything.
Now, where was I?
