He continued to drive through the neighborhood, turning left, then right. After ten minutes he found himself facing a large shopping mall, which he had driven past the previous evening on his way in from the airport. He was about to turn around when his cell phone rang.

Nash checked the caller ID, then pulled over and hit the Talk button.

“What's up?" he asked, even though he had a good idea of the answer.

“I'm checking on you," Kevin, his twin brother said. "Did you flake out on me at the last minute or are you really here?"

“I'm in town."

“You're kidding." Kevin sounded surprised. Nash shared the feeling. The last place he'd expected to be was here. Given the choice he would be at work-getting lost in an assignment, or training or even paperwork.

“What changed your mind?" his brother asked.

“I wasn't given a choice. You told me to get my butt here or you'd drag me yourself."

“Right. Like me telling you what to do has made you do anything." Kevin laughed. "I'm glad you made it, though. I've met with a couple of the guys. Travis and Kyle Haynes." Their half brothers. Family they'd never known about. Nash still couldn't get his mind around the concept. "And?"

“It went great. There's a physical resemblance I didn't expect. Our mutual father has some pretty powerful genes. We're about the same height and build. Dark hair, dark eyes." Someone said something in the background Nash didn't catch.

Kevin chuckled. "Haley says to tell you they're all good-looking. I wouldn't know about that. It's a chick thing." Haley? Before Nash could ask, Kevin continued.
