Chapter 13

Carrie Mercer stood on Michael’s front porch. Behind her was a bewildered security guard, and a seemingly irritated Peter.

“Sorry man, I tried to get her to call first, but I told you, there is no reasoning with her when she gets like this,” Peter said from behind the very excited woman.

Adara watched in confusion and amusement. It took a moment for to register exactly what Carrie had just said. When it clicked, she rushed to the door just in time for Carrie to say, “Bite me, Sir. This is important.” Peter’s scowl deepened and Adara couldn’t help but think that Carrie was about to get into trouble.

“You’re lucky you threw a Sir in there,” he said with a growl. Carries demeanor changed immediately and Peter seemed satisfied. “Well, we’re here now little one. Spit it out.”

Michael stood back and opened the door wider. “Come in. Please. Tell us what you’ve found.”

When the door was shut, Carrie plopped down on the living room floor in front of Michael’s coffee table. Adara followed and sat on the couch, watching as the excited blonde scattered papers all over the surface. It looked like chaos, but Carrie seemed to know exactly what she was doing.

“I found her Adara. I fucking found her. I need solid proof but I know it’s her and I know I can get it.” Pages were scattering everywhere as she continued to slap papers down on the table. Most appeared to be scans of old newspaper articles. “She was a hostage. And she was a U.S. citizen. Look, look,” she said motioning to the papers.

Adara picked one up, still not fully understanding what she was looking at. But for the first time since she was picked up at the airport, she felt a glimmer of hope. “I’m afraid you’re going to have to slow down and explain. I’m not following.”

“Sorry. Master says I get too excited for my own good. Let me show you.” She picked up a piece of paper. “This is a list of all the hostages. Three died before the rescue. Jeff Scott, Harold Gibson, and Adara Gabai.” Adara’s eyes went wide when Carrie said the final name. “I’m positive that Adara was your birth mother. Based on the journal your mom gave us, Faisal Hadawi took a liking to her not long after the hostage crisis began. The bastard kept her separate from the others and soon she became pregnant. When the baby—you—was born, you were given to two of the other hostages to care for. Those hostages were Daniel and Ruth Kent. Though they went by different names then. You had colic and cried a lot. It apparently bothered Hadawi. It’s thought that your mother died not too long after giving birth which was just days before the rescue operation that brought you and your parents home.

Your parents lied to the military and said they had gotten pregnant with you during the hostage situation. It seemed reasonable because the hostages were kept in bedrooms and had plenty of alone time.
