As Caleb walked into his house where he lived with his mother. He was deep in thought, contemplating just what happened. Was that girl and her two brothers related to him. How come he never met them? Oh yeah they just moved here. But if they are then why keep it a secret, why didn't they tell me? Tell all of us.
As he walked into the den he saw his mother sitting on the sofa. Curiosity over came him, surely his mother would know.
"Mother I wanted to ask you something." said Caleb as he sat down beside her.
"Yes dear, what is it?" asked his mother
"Well I met this girl tonight and well I was wondering. Do we have any relative that you haven't told me about?" answered Caleb.
"Caleb, what brought this on? Is this about that girl you met" asked Evelyn as she took a drink of rum.
"Mother, the girl that I talk about. Well she has the last name as us." Answer's Caleb then continues, " If she is why didn't we know?"
"Caleb you must understand that her parents were trying to keep her safe. Yes Tierney is your cousin but don't question their motives. Your father's sister is her mother and Leah wanted to keep her from knowing certain things. At least until she was ready, so after she was born her and phoenix moves out of Ipswich. We didn't know where they had gone to but your father believed that one day they would return. So we kept it to our selves." Said Evelyn.
" What things doesn't she know, mother?" asked Caleb.
"That is something I can not tell you, darling. But in time you will know." Answered Evelyn. As she saw Caleb getting up to leave she added, "Caleb I advise you to tell Pogue, you two are extremely close. Tierney is also related to him and if he doesn't know yet tell him.
"Related to Pogue but How is she" inquired Caleb as he stood awaiting her answer.
"Phoenix, her father is his uncle," said Evelyn.
Caleb soon after left the den and walked upstairs to his room. He glided to the bed and sat down while taking his phone out of his pocket. Hesitantly he dialed Pogue's number. It rang four times before a sleepy voice was heard on the other side.
"Caleb, why are you calling so late?" asked Pogue.
"Remember I was going to find out about tier." He said while lying down on he's bed
"Yeah I remember, so what did you find out?" asked now curious friend.
"We'll I found not only is she related to me. She's also related to you."
"Are you sure, how?" questioned a confused occupant (A.N the other line)
"You're uncle phoenix is her father." Answered Caleb
"My uncle, but no ones heard from my uncle in years." Sad Pogue
"Yea I know but anyways you and I know now so I'll talk to you tomorrow." Said a now tired Caleb.
"Yeah talk to you later, man." Said Pogue before he hung up the phone.
Caleb in turn pressed end on the phone and settled into bed instantly falling asleep.
