Chapter 20

                                    

                                          
Was he really my brother? Inside I felt really sure about this, there was from the first moment a little bond. He looked like Mom and I felt like I know him since forever. But why should my parents expose their son? Suddenly Alec started talking: "Do you want to see your boyfriend and his bestie? I had to bring them too, you know, otherwise they would have put me on the Interpol list." I nodded and got up, even though my knees were precarious and I must look like a ghost. He led me into his basement and opened a door. "One, two,-" I heard Mac counting inside. "I wouldn't do that if I were you." Alec interrupted Mac and he fell back on the floor. "Luce?" His beautiful blue eyes focused on me. He froze, he must think that Alec hurt me. "Mac?" My voice was quiet, almost broken. I was still in shock from fact that I had a brother. "Let her go!" Mac screamed, but suddenly he tipped over and his eyes closed. "Mac!" I ran towards him, while Alec cut their chains and brought Mac into the recovery position. "Mac? Hey, I'm fine ok? Wake up again." It's probably the shock or something like this. "Alec? Have you given them anything?" "No, I know that they are important to you. I could never hurt them." Bozer looked really confused between Alec and me, but then he shook his head. We heard a groan from the floor and our attention got back on Mac. "Mac? Everything is fine, ok?" He jumped up as he saw Alec and almost attacked him, but I hopped in between. "Mac! I told you everything is fine!" He looked also confused, so I started to explain him everything. He looked between Alec and me and mumbled: "Well, Alec looks alike to Luce. A little bit, but it's there." He kissed my forehead and hugged me. "Let's get back to Phoenix, Jack must be concerned about us by now." 
                          
"Mac! Lucy! Bozer! Where were you three? Your front door was blown up." We got welcomed by Jack. He hugged us tight and started smiling. "Who is this guy behind you?" He asked and his hand wandered automatically to the back of his pant, where he always carries his gun. "Jack, we are going to explain everything. But let's go into the war room, and get Matty and Riley in there too." Mac calmed Jack and his hand wandered into his pockets again. 
"Matty? This is Alec. Alec Brown." She looked at me, trying to understand the fact that he should be my brother. "Lucy? Alec? You two go to the lab and test your DNA, just to make sure that we are right. The rest of you, you are going to tell me everything. "Alec? The lab is downstairs." We walked down and told the laborers what they had to do. They took our DNA and a few minutes later we got the results: We are siblings. "One thing: Do you know your age?" I asked him, because I suddenly thought about something else. "My birthday is a myth, but I'm 26. That's what the children's home said, because I wasn't even one year old when they found me. Why?" He looked at me and then it must have hit him too. "Wait. How old are you?" I needed to sit down. A finally found sibling is something to deal with, but...
"I know your birthday. August 23. We aren't just siblings, we are twins..." He hugged me: "That's something, huh?" It was something. My family expanded on one person, but this person was related to me. We went again upstairs and told them the good news. Mac hugged me tight and gave me a big kiss. "I love you, Lucy Brown. And I'm so happy for you." It must be hard for him to see me, finding my relatives even though I didn't knew that I had one. He was searching for his dad since he was ten, because he just left him and his grandpa behind. His mom died when he was five and this setbacks were a lot to take in for a little and genius boy. He still searched for his dad and he found a few leads, but all of them weren't helpful. "Mac? We will find your dad." I mumbled in his hair and he seemed to understand me, because he nodded. "Why do I deserve such a beautiful and perfect girlfriend?" I think that I shouldn't hear this, but I answered "Because I love you and you are my perfect one." We smiled at each other and went home. Alec came with us, because his flat wasn't here in LA and Matty wanted to train him, because she thought that he would be a good "add-on" for our team. "Alec? Here is your bedroom, that's the bathroom, that's the living room, kitchen and our terrace." I explained while I gave him a tour of our home. Suddenly I felt a gun barrel in my side.
