Jenny sighs as she carefully, with permission sits on the bed next to Eva. "After you turned in those monsters and the filthy foster father of yours, my husband decided your foster mother needed consoling. Turns out he'd been consoling her for years.

"He and she left the city. Turns out he's spent thousands on that bitch that belonged to the family. So in exchange for the money he signed over all assets other than his car that he took. He took one account of money and gave me the rest in the divorce. 

"Bastard didn't even pay for RJ's college. Selling the house and expensive car and the holiday house I had enough money for RJ to go to college and decided to go back as well.

"I finished my degree and became a nurse practitioner and hired on with Mr. Wederer's doctor." Jenny shrugs, "When RJ joined him I still didn't know about what he was, I just needed the job."

Eva nods thoughtfully and turns her tired eyes to RJ. "What about you? You had big dreams last time we talked."

RJ gives his head a bit of a shake and a bitter laugh, "We can dream all we want but life comes along and throws us curve balls. That summer my world came tumbling down. I did something I never thought I was capable of and wasn't even man enough to stop others from hurting her after I did. I took a look at myself and was disgusted.

"I managed to get through school, but in computer science rather than criminal science. How could I go after those that had broken the law when I was no better than them? But I was directionless and lost." RJ gives her a bitter smile.

"Some how or some way Mr. Wederer decided that there was something about me worth having and he recruited me. I've been working for him for the last four years."

Eva looks at him with compassion, "Kinda the opposite of your dreams, eh? I'm so sorry, RJ. Can you ever forgive me? If not, I won't force you to have to be in my presence."

"I won't force you to be Eva's body guard if you can't forgive her," Tristan tells the shocked man at Eva's side.

Shaking his head at everything that's happened and told to him in the last twenty-four hours. He's still rather amazed that the boss knew about what he did and he's still alive. The boss has already set hits out on those he knows have harmed Eva in the past. Most of them in prison still.

In a daze he gets up and leaves without any further words.

"Tom, relieve him, I think he's too shocked at this point to function."

Only then does Eva realize that Tom is in the room with them. "Tom, I didn't see you or hear you come in."

Tom gives her a bland smile. "You were busy explaining to RJ why he shouldn't be guilty any more for what happened. It will take some time to understand that what happened all those years ago wasn't his fault. Even then after knowing the truth he'll likely still hold some guilt."

"Then, I just hope that he'll let me near him to keep knocking some sense into his brain until he accepts that I'm guilty and those bastards are guilty but not him."

"Eva, Jenny needs to check your wound, then there is one more person that would like to see you before you rest some more. Think you can handle it?"

Eva sighs, she thinks she knows who it is that wants to talk to her. "Yeah, if it is who I think, I might as well get it over with." Eva does her best to keep the bitterness out of her voice but Jenny still gives her a comforting look.

"Eva, why are you covered in scars?" Jenny asks to break up the awkward silence.

Eva gives her a bitter smile, "My parents, more especially my mother thought my skin needed decorating."

Jenny does her best to hold back the tears and sobs she feels. She's heard that Eva had been in foster care because her parents had been abusive, she hadn't realized in what way.

"Eva, we've located your parents," Tristan says in the newly fallen silence.

Eva looks at Tristan sharply. "Where!" She demands anger evident not only in her voice but in her face.

"They'll be here by tomorrow night." Tristan says soothingly.

Tom hesitates but says, "There's another person, a little girl with them."

Eva looks at Tom, horrified at his words. As he continues she becomes sickened. "She looks like a younger version of you." Tom takes out his phone and pulls up the photos that were sent to him.

Staring at her, the little girl is a beautiful angel, and looks just like Eva. "How old is she?" Eva chokes out as she gently touches the screen where her sister's face is.

"According to the birth records, Crystal Ann Chesterton is two, almost three years old."

There is evidence even in the photo that the angel has been abused. "Then there is a chance that she hasn't been sexually abused yet." Tears fall as she looks at the two men.

"From what we can determine, she has been physically harmed as you can tell, but not sexually." Tom tells her, but his words are reluctant.

Eva catches this and looks at him sharply. "Just what the fuck are you hiding from me?"

"There is evidence that she's not the only sibling your parents had. We found evidence that there is at least one if not more siblings given up for adoption. The one definite was a boy, born about a year after they dumped you at the hospital. The one we aren't sure of, is actually older than  you. We think he's actually about our age, perhaps even older. Your mother's medical history talks about after she gave birth she had complications and so she had to wait before she tried again. That's why there is so much time between your possible sibling and you. 

"Again, evidence that we've managed to find shows that it was a boy. Apparently your parents, your father at least had no desire to have a son and only wanted daughters."

Eva gives a harsh laugh and just clutches her side as it causes her extreme pain. "Lucky them. Hell, I wish I'd been given up for adoption too."

"You'll have your chance to ask your questions when they are brought here, Eva." Tristan promises her as he retakes the seat at her side as Jenny finishes up her ministrations.

"What about my sister, Tristan?"

Tristan takes her hand in his and gently strokes it. "She'll live here as long as you are here. If you leave here then you'll take her with you.

"As for your brother or brothers I'll set Lassiter to looking for them."

Eva keeps her feelings from her face. "Yes, if there is any one that will be able to find them it will be him." Eva looks at Tristan.

"Speaking of that douche, is he the reason you were able to find those bastards that claimed to be my parents?"

Tristan hesitates then answers softly, "Yes, he is. He's also the reason we found evidence of the other sibling. He will continue searching for both of them and any other possible children your parents had. Unless you'd prefer him to stop."

Eva now looks troubled. Does she want to stop Lassiter from looking? She shakes her head. "No, if I have siblings I want to know them."

Tristan sits back satisfied. "Lassiter wasn't sure if you would accept his help. He wants to talk to you and explain now, if you are willing?"

Eva pulls down a mask over her face but not before Tristan sees the pain Eva's hiding. Cain's betrayal to her hurt more than she's willing to show and that hurts Tristan.

"Do you want me to leave or stay as he talks to you?" Tristan says standing up.

"Stay, I'm not sure that I'll be able to stand being in his presence for long otherwise." Eva says whispering those words.

Tristan sits back down and motions for Tom to leave and send in Lassiter.

"I'm thinking of adding a security lieutenant and wanted Lassiter to take that spot. But I won't do it if you can't accept him after what he did. I've already talked to him and told him the position will depend on you."

Eva stares at Tristan, "Why? He is perfect for the spot. Both physically and in the cyber world."

"Because you are more important. I want you here, if not to live, then to visit often. My lieutenants live here as well as many of my higher ranked men. You will see him often if he is in charge of security."

"Tristan, don't, he is perfect for the job and is absolutely devoted to you. He won't betray you, you need him to take that spot."

"Eva-" Tristan is interrupted by the knocking of the door.

"Come in," Tristan calls out when Eva doesn't say anything.
