Chapter 5

Greg and Nick stared at David in confusion. "What did you just call him?" asked Nick.

"It's Danny! Don't you recognize him?" restated David.

"I'm sorry, but you must be confused. I'm Greg Sanders."

"That's probably what they told you," muttered David.

"David, this is not Danny!" shouted Nick.

"Yes he is, and I can prove it," said David as he grabbed Greg's left arm. "You remember that burn Danny had on his left shoulder that looked like Texas?"

"Yeah, but.." said Nick as David rolled up Greg's sleeve to reveal a brown, dead-skinned burn in the shape of Texas. "Oh my God…" muttered Nick.

"What?" asked Greg.

Tears welled up in Nick's eyes. "I can't believe it. This whole time, I was working with my little brother," cried Nick as he walked up and gave Greg a hug.

"Nick, cut it out! I'm not Danny, I'm…" he began to say when they heard a loud thump from upstairs.

"We'd better be going," said Nick as he led everyone out of the basement. When they reached the top of the stairs, Greg asked, "Where's Chad?"

A loud shot rang out, causing all seven of them to duck. "Quick, to the car!"

All seven ran out of the house and began to cram into the small Cadillac. "Uh Nick, I don't think we can all…" started Greg.

"SHUT UP GREG!" shouted Nick as he took the driver's seat and sped away.


The inside of the car was cramped with barely any elbow room. The most uncomfortable person in the car was Greg; he was surrounded by people he didn't know and claimed him to be their long lost brother, not to mention he was beginning to feel claustrophobic. Finally, Nick had pulled up to a diner. "Anyone care for some food?"

As soon as Nick said "food" the five siblings were out of the car in no time. Nick and Greg shrugged and followed them in. "So Nick, do you believe this I'm-Danny business?" asked Greg.

"I don't know Greg…or…Danny….or…I just don't know, okay?"

Greg nodded and slowed down to allow Nick to go first. That's when he heard a woman's voice in his head say, "…Danny…"

He shook it out of his head and ran in after Nick. When he walked in, he saw them all seated in a booth. Greg sat down next to them and picked up a menu as Nick caught up with his family. That's when Greg heard her voice say again, "Danny…what did they do to you?"

Greg rubbed his head as Nick and David turned and looked at him. "Are you okay?" asked David.

"Yeah, I'm just going to splash some water on my face. If the waitress shows up, I want the mushroom burger with extra ketchup and mustard…and no onions."

Nick nodded as Greg ran off to the bathroom. "Is Danny okay?" asked Laura.

"Listen, how can we be sure if he is even Danny? We have no proof," muttered Nick.

"There's the burn mark," mentioned Jacob.

"Doesn't prove anything," replied Nick.

"You would think he would remember us," said Gracie.

"A child's memory doesn't develop until age three, so he wouldn't remember anything. It's a fat chance, but…"

"Then we'll just make him remember," smiled Billy.

"Is there a chance his memory will return?" asked David.

" A smell or sight, maybe…but otherwise, nothing."

All five sighed. In the meantime, Greg had splashed water on his face and hung his head low. Greg thought he had finally gotten rid of that voice, but it was back. "Danny…"

"I'm not Danny…I'm not Danny…" repeated Greg.

After Greg walked up to the door, he leant against the wall and beat his head in. After a couple pounds, the voice was gone…for now. So, Greg put on his best face and walked out to the bench. There sat all f them sucking down their coffee. "It's about time Da…I mean, Greg," corrected Billy.

Greg nodded and sat next to Nick, grabbing his cup and taking a quick drink. As Greg put his cup down, he saw a very familiar ring hanging around Laura's neck. "That ring…" pointed Greg.

Laura looked down and smiled. "It looks familiar, doesn't it?"

Greg nodded. "You gave this to me on my 5th birthday, well, actually Mom and Dad wrote your name on the card. You were only four months old, remember?"

Getting out of his trance, he shook his head and took another drink. Laura just shook her head as their food arrived. As soon as Greg took a bite of his burger, his phone began to vibrate. Greg looked down at the caller ID and smiled. "Sanders."

"Greg, it's Grissom. How are things going?"

"Well, we found Nick's long lost siblings, we got shot at, and I have no idea who I am anymore," said Greg sarcastically.

"What?"

Nick motioned for the phone. "Grissom, its Nick, let me explain," said Nick as he walked out the door.

"What's going on Nicky?"

"Well, you know what happened to my family?"

"Uh-huh."

"Well, we kind of found them in Chad's basement and my older brother, David…he claims that Greg is Danny."

"Do you believe it?"

"I don't know what to believe."

Nick could hear Grissom sigh on the other line. "Well, just sit tight and see what happens. Do you have enough proof that Chad killed the two men inside his summer home?"

"Yeah, and I think I can nail him for two murders and six kidnappings. I think I can even find his boss."

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

"I've been waiting for this my whole life."

Nick could hear Grissom sigh again. "Okay, fine. But as soon as this is all cleared up, you come home, got it?"

"Yeah, and Grissom?"

"Yeah?"

"Can you do me a favor and run a DNA test comparing my DNA against Greg's?"

"Sure thing Nick."

"Thanks. Bye Grissom."

Nick closed the phone and walked back inside, handing the phone back to Greg. "What did Grissom say?" asked Greg.

"We got some extra work to do. Come on, let's nail mom and dad's killer," smiled Nick as he put the money on the table and led the group out into the scorching Texan heat.
