    Rummaging through your dad's desk in search of the flash drive he asked you to bring to him down in the lab, you found two identical. drives "Which one are you?" you murmured to yourself, sitting down in the office chair & plugging one of the flash drives into the computer. A grainy black & white video of a dark road lined with trees popped up, date stamped Dec. 16, 1991, 7:01 p.m.

    You gasped when a white Cadillac tore into the frame & smashed head on into a tree. "No..." you whimpered when you saw the black clad man on the motorcycle circle the accident, park, & dismount. You recognized him immediately. "No, no, no..." You covered your mouth with your hand as tears welled in your eyes while you watched the rest of the tape. You knew the vehicle & the accident scene from old newspaper articles you found when you were a teenager & curious about your grandparents.

    He didn't tell you... You shot up from the chair & snatched the flash drive out of the computer storming out of your dad's office. Instead of heading toward the lab where your dad was, you turned the opposite direction toward training facility where you knew Bucky & Grant were working out. You slammed open the doors & stormed in, your eyes instantly finding Grant. "Hey, Little Steele." Grant smiled at you as you approached. His smile fell once he registered the tears on your cheeks.

    Grant looked up to see you, his eyes widening when he saw your expression. "Were you ever going to tell me?" You asked, your voice raw with emotion. "Tell you what?" Griffin asked, confused. "December 16, 1991!" you shouted, throwing the flash drive at him. His face went as white as a sheet. There was a charged moment when no one said anything. Then Griffin gave you a look dripping with guilt & he just shook his head.

    That was enough to break you, & you turned & ran from the training facility. Griffin followed as you fled to your suite. "Go away, Sebastian!" You screamed. "You're all I want. You're all I have!" he shouted through the locked door. "Go away!" you screamed back
