Third person's POV
Back at Shane's house Shane was rushing to get everything done "Shane what's the hurry?" Her brother asked "I wanna head to the precinct with my friends to run Matt's DNA." She said "Oh Carlos already did that." "He did?" "Yeah how do you think Ashley got the kidnapping charge in?" "Oh so when are your bring Matt to his real parents?" Shane asked "I need you and your friends to distract him while I ask his real parents to come down to the precinct think you can do that?" "Sure." Shane said

After the morning rush in the Harlow household everyone was walking to the park "PTSD intensifies." Shane joked "Shut up for once." Riley laughed. They kept hanging out in different places.

With Daniel
Daniel walked up to Cameron's house and knocked on the door. Cameron answered "Daniel? What brings you here?" He asked "First off it's Sargent Harlow when I'm on the job second I'm here to speak with your parents are they home?" Daniel asked "Yeah they're home, would you like to come in?" Cameron moved out the way so Daniel can enter "Cameron who are you talk- oh!" Cameron's mom walked to the entrance "Oh officer what brings you here?" She asked as Daniel entered the house "Hello I'm Sargent Harlow from LAPD. I'm here to speak with you and your husband and your son if he would like to join the conversation." Daniel said "Honey," Cameron's dad said as he walked to the living room "Who was at the door?" "Sargent Harlow he wants to talk with us." The family of three was sitting on one couch while Daniel sat on the couch opposite of them "I understand you were a family of four back in Ohio," Daniel pulled out a few pictures "Yes we were." Cameron's dad said "And your son went to go see a trial with my sister and her friends." "What's your sister's name?" Cameron's mom asked "Shane," Daniel said "We heard that she was hurt is she okay?" Cameron's dad asked "She's doing much better thank you for asking. Anyway during the trial it was revealed that the first victim Matthew Pattrick was kidnapped as a baby." Daniel showed the family a photo of a younger bruised Matthew "This was Matt at the age of 7," He showed them another picture "This is him at the age of 10," and another picture "At the age of 13," one final picture "And finally the age of 16." "I'm sorry but how does this involve us?" Cameron's dad asked "Well I though you wanted to see what your son was going through?" Daniel asked "What?!?" The family cried "My baby?!?" Cameron's mom cried "Are you sure this boy is our son?" Cameron's dad asked "I have the DNA test back at the precinct," Daniel said "You can come down today and see it." "Where's Matt?" Cameron asked "I asked my sister to keep him distracted I wanted to surprise him with his real parents. You know after the boy's been through so much." "We'll head down to the precinct later today. Thank you for the information Sargent Harlow." Cameron's dad said as Daniel walked out the house.

With Matt and the others

After the park they went to an arcade Shane and Nate were playing guitar hero, Mark and Matt were playing Dance Dance Revolution, Riley and Felix were playing with the hurricane simulators, and Jack and Stephane were playing Space Invaders.

Riley was a giggling mess when she left the hurricane simulator for the 6th time "You're gonna end up in the hospital." Felix laughed "So? Me and Shane went on the graviton 4 times and we didn't end up in the hospital "That's caused you yeeted my ass back to the hotel before I could even get back on one more time." Shane yelled from where she was.

"Hey focus on the game." Nate said picking up the pace "I could beat you in my sleep." Shane said "Oh really?" Nate asked as the song ended "Yeah I pick next song." The next song was Iron man by Black Sabbath Nate started sing along "I am Iron-Man, Has he lost his mind? Can he see or is he blind?" Shane joined in "Can he walk at all? Or if he moves will he fall?"

Over at Dance Dance Revolution Matt and Mark were dancing to a song called Footloose and they too started to sing long "Been working so hard, I'm punching my card, Eight hours for what Oh, tell me what I got, I've got this feeling, That time's just holding me down, I'll hit the ceiling, Or else I'll tear up this town." Mark sang Matt sang the chorus "Now I gotta cut loose
Footloose, kick off the Sunday shoes, Please, Louise, pull me off of my knees, Jack, get back, come on before we crack, Lose your blues, everybody cut footloose." "You called?" Jack asked looking at them "Shut up." Matt laughed as he and Mark kept singing the song.

Over at the Space Invaders game Jack and Stephanie were competing for first place but Stephanie won first place. "Good game." Jack said giving Stephanie a high five "Thanks you too." Stephanie said returning the high five. They started to hear giggles and turned around to see Felix getting back in the simulator again "Should we stop them?" Jack asked, Stephanie looked at her phone "It's already noon we should before one of them throws up," She said walking over to the giggling pair "Alright that's enough fun for you two." She yanked Felix out and Jack held Riley's arm so she wouldn't go back in "Aww c'mon one more time." Felix begged "Your gonna get sick." Steph tried to reason "We're fine." Riley said "Riley you been in that simulator 12 times now chill." Jack said "Okay." Felix said calming down. Riley and Felix were sitting down at a table waiting for the others. After playing for 2 hours at the arcade they were eating fries at McDonald's. Shane's phone started ringing "Hello?......You guys ready?......Bring him down now?......Okay I'll tell them." She hanged up "Who were you talking to?" Matt asked stealing one of Nate's fries "A friend of mine. Hey can we make one more pit stop before we go home? I need to get my phone from evidence this old one lags." She asked "There's no harm right." Mark said shrugging. They left and walked to the precinct. In the precinct they saw different officers looked at them one of them walked up to the teens.

"Can I help you guys?" She asked "Hey Jessie they're with me," Dodds said walking up "Dodds you sure?" Jessie asked "I'm sure just make sure the press doesn't get wind of this." Dodds said walking away with the teens "What brings you here?" Dodds asked "I need my phone back from evidence." Shane said winking "Did you forget only a cop can get it?" He asked "I was hopping you would. Daniel's busy." Dodds pulled out a blindfold "What's with the blindfold?" Nate asked "We got a surprise for someone and we got to blindfold one of you guys to do it." Dodds said "So how you gonna blindfold?" Jack asked "Matt," Matt looked up "Me?" He asked "Yes you, come here." Dodds tied the blindfold around Matt's eyes "Nate come here." Dodds said Nate walked up "Alright hold his hand but don't let go until I tell you." Nate held Matt's hand Dodds started leading the teen into an interrogation room that had no tables or chairs but a family of three or more specificity Cameron and his parents. As soon as Matt walked in the room Dodds told the family to keep quite
🥺
"Matt you ready?" Dodds asked Daniel secretly walked in the room with yellow envelopes and a camera"I don't know I'm kinda scared." Matt said "Don't be scared Shane said she can help you find your real family right?" Daniel asked "Yeah." Matt's voice started to crack "It's time we take off the blindfold." Daniel walked over and took off the blindfold but Matt still had his eyes closed "I'm scared." He said "It's gonna be okay I promise." Nate said squeezing Matt's hand, Matt opened his eyes

Matt's POV (It's been a while since I did POVs)

I opened my eyes and saw Cameron and his parents I looked over and saw Daniel handing me a yellow envelope he also handed Cameron's parents a yellow envelope. I took a deep breathe and opened the envelope there was a white paper the first line said 'Matthew Pattrick- DNA tested.' The second line 'Cameron Patrick- DNA tested." The third 'Robert Patrick- DNA tested.' The fourth 'Linda Patrick- DNA tested.' I looked at the bottom 'All the DNAs matches.' I looked up so fast it's a miracle my neck didn't break "Match?" I whispered tears started to leak Cameron's mom started to walk close "Hey," she said I didn't care what she said next because I just hugged her and cried "Mom." I cried I looked up and saw dad walking towards me I hugged him as well "Dad." I cried I looked up one more time and saw Cameron with tears in his eyes "Glad you're home." He said giving me a hug "Glad to be home." I cried "I met you at a fucking Dairy Queen." Cameron laughed we were interrupted by some yelling outside. "One moment." Shane walked out and yelled "HEY THEY'RE TRYING TO HAVE A REUNION HERE!" "Sorry!!" The person making the noise said "Thank you." Shane walked back into the room "Are you always like that?" Cameron said drying his eyes "Depends." Shane said.

After meeting my real parents Shane got her phone back from evidence and we walked by some criminals.

"HEY!" One of them yelled at me "You were the kid Walter and Taylor abused?" He asked I nodded out of fear "I'll get them for you." Before I could say anything Shane interrupted me "Josh back here again I thought you were gonna change your ways?" She asked "I didn't do it this time." Josh said "Shane!" Daniel yelled "What did I tell you about talking with the criminals?" Daniel asked "That they can kill you," Shane walked away and so did the rest of us "Don't forget to get your stuff from my house." She said passing me "I almost forgot!" I said. We all walked to Shane's house and let's just say the twins woke up from their nap and hell broke loose.

"Andy, Skylar." Alex said chasing them "I got them." Shane grabbed both of them from the backs of their shirts and lifted them off the ground "What did I say about running?" She asked "Not to do it in the house." Andy said "And?" "We could get hurt." Skylar said "Apologize to mommy." "Sorry mommy." The twins said "It's okay babies just don't do it again." Shane puts them on the ground again and they started to play with Zander, Spencer and Skip. (You thought I forgot about him!) "Here I get a suitcase for you to pack." Shane said "No it's fine really I could use trash bags," I said "I just don't what you guys to waste any more on me. You already given me a place to stay." "Hey the twins love it when we bring friends over." Riley said "Really?" Nate asked "Yeah I mean she calls you guys aunts and uncles." Shane said "Uncle Matt!" I looked down and saw Skylar hugging my leg "How are you today!!" She was smiling like an idiot. I picked her up "I'm doing great how about you?" I asked "Same! Hey did you find your family?" She asked my eyes widen "Yeah," I nodded as tears fell for the millionth time today "Yeah I found my family."

"Uncle Nate!" I looked over to see Andy hugging Nate's leg "Are you and uncle Matt still gonna be together?" He asked Nate picked him up "You bet rockstar!" Nate said tickling Andy. "Okay here the trash bags." Shane held out a box of trash bags "You need help?" Jack asked.

In the room we started packing different things I packed my clothes, Shane and Felix packed my posters, Jack and Mark packed my bracelet making kit, Stephanie and Riley packed the small things like bracelets, keychains, all that kind of stuff, Cameron helped me with my clothes, mom and dad helped me moved the bags out the house. "Uncle Matt don't forget these." I looked and saw Skylar and Andy holding the gifts they gave me at the hospital "Of course how could I forget." I took the gifts with me as I went home to my real home with my real parents. The pain was finally over.
