Chapter 4

"Jack all we want is you in our lives. I won't mention her name; I know she
brought you up well, and with strong values. But see things from where we
are standing. We were robbed of 22yrs of your life" Roy, my dad said as my
Mother was still holding me weeping.

"We will contact the relevant people tomorrow, for now you need rest, I can
see you are both tired" My dad added looking first at me then Jamie.

"Thank you dad, and yes of course I can see things from your point of
view. I know what I have said about Mum but, yeah" I stuttered.

"Go sit and watch some TV, talk a bit to Marcus, this is as confusing for
him as it is for all of us" added Mary. "Go on I will bring some Coffee
through shortly" she added, wiping her eyes

I walked into the living room; Marcus was on his cell talking away to
someone. I sat on an overstuffed sofa next to Jamie, his hand resting on my
leg. "You feel better?" Jamie asked. "Just overwhelmed a bit that's all" I
replied and he squeezed my knee.

"Someone wants to talk to you Jack" Marcus said handing me his cell
phone. I looked totally confused as he handed over his phone.

"Hello" I began.

"Hello Jack, this is Rebecca, Becky" she replied.

"Ohh Wow, hello Becky" I stumbled with my words, looking at Jamie and
Marcus both smiling. "It is nice to eventually talk to you, I only found
out you had been in contact this morning" she added.

"I only found out myself about this whole thing few days ago, it's all been
a bit fast hasn't it" I replied. "Jack 22yrs is not fast" she replied.

"Ohh Sorry, but yeah I mean from finding out I mean" I corrected. "Just
messing with you Jack" she laughed out.

"We can talk more tomorrow okay, I should be home by four, so see you then
Bro" she said and hung up on the call before I could say yeah and goodbye.

"By she is full of life" I responded and handed Marcus back his phone. "You
don't know the half of it" Marcus replied. "Sorry explain?" I added. "Well
she ...she had an accident whilst skiing in Colorado, hurt her back, she
was in hospital for a couple of months, so now she lives life to the
fullest" he replied and like them, I now realised I had missed so much of
their lives as they had missed so much of mine.

"She's okay now though, ...right?" I asked and Marcus answered in the
positive. "And you Marcus, what are your interests?" I asked.

"I want to join the United States Air force, I want to fly, I have posters
of all kinds of fighter planes on my wall from Mig's to Spitfires B52's you
name it I have a reference for it. My grades are there so...yeah Flying" he
responded.

"Have you applied" I asked. "Yeah, I need to get a few things sorted, and
convince Mum and dad I want this" he responded. "Marcus, sorry but how old
are you?" I asked. "18, 19 in two months" he replied.

"No problem then, I assume they want what's best for you?" I asked. "Mum's
always been sort of possessive" he replied, and if she has wrapped him in a
protective bubble because I had been snatched as a baby, yeah I could very
well see her doing that. And who could blame her.

"Marcus I cannot begin to work out what's going through their heads right
now, I mean 22yrs and I turn up out of the blue like this...gotta mess with
anybody's head" I added, as Roy and Mary came into the living room carrying
mugs of coffee.

"Milk and sugar are on the tray" Mary added as she placed the Mugs on the
coffee table. "So what are you boys talking about" She asked. "The Air
force" I said, and Marcus looked at me funny. "Oh what about it?" she
asked. "Mary you know Marcus wants to fly" Roy added.

"Yeah I know, but we have just gotten our son back, can we get to know each
other first" she said trying to change the subject. "Mom you know I love
you...but I want to try...well try at least" Marcus piped up. "We will talk
about it later...when we don't have company" she said with a mellow
scorn. "Yes Mum" Poor Marcus replied.

"Mary can I have a word with you in the Kitchen" I asked and stood up and
walked out and into the Kitchen. "Jack are you okay" she asked as she
followed me into the room. "Mary what are you doing?" I asked. "What do you
mean?" she asked. "Marcus, and the Air force" I responded. "Oh that, it's a
whim a fad, he will be interested in something else next week" she replied,
I could see that, I don't know the kid, but he seemed dead set on this
path.

"Mary I have only known you and Marcus for a few hours so I cannot judge
your moods and reactions yet. But he sounds very enthusiastic about it" I
added. "You said it Jack...you don't know us yet" she replied.

"I hope to remedy that" I responded. "As do I" she replied.

"Can you promise me one thing, I am heading back to Boston in a few days,
promise me you will hear him out, he is 19 soon and at that age I knew
exactly what I wanted to do, so just hear him out okay" I added, and kissed
her forehead.

"You are coming back though...right" she asked. "Try and stop me" I
replied.

"I spoke to Becky" I started to tell her. "She was talking to Marcus and he
put me on the phone call" I added. "You will meet her tomorrow, she is what
I would call a fireball" she sniggered. "Marcus told me about her accident,
was it tough?" I asked.

"Well actually, I found out something during the experience" she
started. "I discovered a very strong willed young woman, she fought every
step of the way during her rehabilitation, she was just amazing to be
around" she smiled at the thought of Becky. "I look forward to meeting her"
I smiled back.

"Marcus?" I added. "Okay your dad and I will sit down with him and hear him
out, and if it is what he wants to do, we will support him" she responded.

"Thank you" I said and we walked back into living room. Jamie was being
grilled on medical issues and Marcus was in awe of Jamie's knowledge.

"You scaring him with surgical stories" I asked as I sat down next to
him. "He asked I told" responded Jamie with a slight giggle as he
replied. "Evil just evil" I sniggered back.

"So what is it you want to be when you graduate" Marcus asked. "Oh jack is
a brilliant programmer, he can strip any program down to basics redesign it
and improve. The big boys are after him" Jamie replied.

"What the FBI are hunting you" Marcus asked, and I laughed out so hard I
burped. "No Microsoft, Apple and the like. He is brilliant" Jamie responded
laughing and squeezing my leg.

"So you going to work for which one exactly" asked Roy. "None, I don't want
to be just a cog, I want to design and patent my own programs, I have an
idea for a program and a portable device that you apply to your body and it
detects changes in your body, like if your core temperatures up or down or
your heart rate is out of whack, I think I can develop it to work with a
cell phone" I somehow got it out without breathing.

"Sounds very ambitious" Mary replied. "If anyone can make it work, Jack
can" said Jamie proudly.

We talked about things past; we discussed what had happened to each other
during the missing years. She also told me of a mischievous younger brother
who fell into an empty pool and only survived because his shoelace got
trapped in a step. Lucky!

 The night wound down and we said our goodnights, I lay on the bed thinking
of my blessings. One Mom died and left clues to my identity, she kept the
band that brought me back to my family. I won't condemn the woman, as if
she had not taken me, I might have not been the man I am today, I might not
have the man I have today. And no I am not defending her, what she did was
beyond forgiveness. I know for a fact Mary and Roy will never get the
chance to ask why, why my child. She's gone and those questions will not be
answered.

I out of respect did not indulge in my favourite pastime, Jamie!, we just
held each other until we both drifted off to sleep. I slept well no
disturbances and that's a first in a while. We woke around 8am and headed
downstairs. Mary had already begun breakfast. Marcus was sat at the table
Reading an ebook. "Anything interesting" I asked. "Jack Reacher" he
replied. "Great stories" I replied. "You like Lee Child?" he asked. "Why
does that sound surprising to you? " I asked curiosity peaked. "With you
being a smart ass, I thought you wold be into highbrow books" he laughed
out.

"Coffee dear" Mary asked and I nodded, she poured one out for the both of
us. I thanked her politely and replied to Marcus.

"I like his way of description, the way he pulls you into the story, which
one are you reading?" I asked. "61 hours" he replied. "They've made a movie
you know" he added. "Don't get him started please" replied Jamie. "It's so
wrong I mean come on" I said with some scorn.

"You read the killing floor?" I asked. "Yeah" Marcus replied. "Okay
describe Jack Reacher to me" I asked. "okay, well he is 6ft 4, blond, very
muscular and a bad ass" he correctly replied. "Exactly I mean come on 6'4
and blond, how can Tom Cruise play that role, for pity's sake" I added.

"Did say didn't I" replied Jamie

"Yeah sorry, but he's right though" replied Marcus.

"What time do you want to go to the police" Mary asked as she sat down at
the table. "Anytime you are ready, sooner the better for me" I
replied. "Okay I will see if Roy can take the morning off, and we will go
this morning" Mary replied, taking a sip of her coffee.

An hour later we headed into the city. We pulled into the parking lot of
the NYPD, we walked through the double glass doors of the 16th precinct,
and this was the precinct that handled my kidnapping before the FBI took
over.

We sat in the waiting area for about twenty minutes when a female detective
came and sat next to us. "So your name is?" she asked. "Sorry but who are
you" I asked, no name tag being displayed. "My apologies, My name is
Detective Vera Valdez" she replied. The pregnant looking woman asked me
again who I was.

"My name is Jack Park, but I found out only recently that I had been
snatched" I replied. "Okay Mr Parks, we need to take a DNA sample to
confirm your identity" she explained. "Yeah sure whatever you need to do" I
replied.

"The person who took you, where are they now?" she asked. "My Mum died just
over a week ago...sorry the person who raised me died, detective" I
answered. She looked at me trying to read me. "Just getting as much
information as possible Jack" she added.

"Sorry" I replied.

I was taken to the hospital that I had been taken from for tests, and to
take a DNA sample. We sat for an hour or so before the technician that had
taken the sample handed the form to the doctor handling the procedure.

"Okay Mr Park, do you want to talk to me in private or do you wish Mr and
Mrs St-Patrick to remain? He asked. "No they can stay" I replied, holding
tight to Jamie. "The DNA test confirms you are the son of Mr and Mrs
St-Patrick" he replied, he continued talking but nobody after he mentioned
that I was their son heard anything else he was saying, except his last
words. "Welcome Home" he ended with and walked out of the office.

We sat for a few minutes digesting what we had sort of guessed anyway. This
was just a formality. Detective Valdez reappeared with two gentlemen in
dark suits; I took it that they were probably FBI, as this was a cold case
suddenly getting warm again.

"Jack this is Special agent's Morris and Cohen" she introduced.

"Good Morning Mr Park" one of the agents responded.

"We need some details from you and permission to enter your home to search
for items that may help us" the other spoke. "Help in what way" I asked
curious. "Donald Park, we need to find him" he replied. "Donald...oh Donny,
my Mum's Ex-husband...sorry Mary" I said as every time I call Liz Park my
mother I feel like I am hitting Mary, right where it hurt her the
most...her heart.

"Mr Park" I cut him off. "Agent Cohen, please call me Jack, don't call me
Mr Park...as when this is sorted I will be making my surname the same as my
parents" I responded and a smile which I must admit brought on to my face
was spread over Mary's face.

"Jack we need to find him, he has a few questions to answer. We found out
this morning he did not divorce Mrs Elisabeth Park until 2yrs after you
were taken" he began, "He knew you were abducted but chose to ignore it, he
is guilty of a felony" he added. "Kidnapping is a federal crime; he was an
accessory to the crime during and after the fact" Cohen added. He came and
sat next to me and Jamie. A tall man short cropped black hair, he was no
more than 35, and his partner was slightly older.

"Jack I need to go soon, I have a case in court this morning and I need to
be there" Detective Valdez informed me. I felt a bit down, I felt like I
wasn't getting her cooperation somehow. The Feds were involved and she was
done.

"Vera, will you be in touch again" I asked checking to see if I being gay
was any sort of an obstacle. "Yes Jack we need some more details on your
mother, and if you knew where she was from relatives that sort of thing"
she added.

"Give our regards to Agent Scott" Cohen added as Vera was about to
leave. "Ermm Okay, so you know him" She asked. "Yeah we came through the
same time, and I knew he was on the Josh Miller and Connor Brian case"
Cohen responded. "I will be sure to say hi for you, and Jack I will be in
touch" Detective Valdez said whilst leaving"

"Okay Jack, Donald Park, what can you tell us?" Morris asked
