When Mrs. Hopkins arrived, she had no idea that she was going to encounter what she did. When she bumped into the police officer, she knew by his tone this was very serious.  “What is going on?” I ask before I fully know what is going on. He answers in a surprisingly polite voice. “He has located some classified criminal information. He is not in any trouble, we just need him to describe how he found it. I go with them silently thinking how relieved I am that he is not in any trouble. when we get to the man’s office, I see a stylish bowl with a wilted flower that looks like it’s growth had just stopped so it could just start dying. The officer takes off his designer jacket and plops down with Michael. I decide to stand. While they are talking about the files, I am staring out the window. I can see a green slope next to the black train station. I see a squirrel gathering it’s supply for the winter. I snap back to attention just to see that the file is a CD. I see a clip obviously from a security camera. I see two men talking and one of them looks very excited. I just notice that it is a special type of security camera because I can hear what they are saying. “You have been chosen to be part of M.U.R.F, the secret group that-” “Yea Yea, I know what it is, get on with it.” He was out-spoken. It was then that they noticed they were being filmed. The one being “accepted” was the first to react. He takes a vase and it is thrown at the camera. But not before I see his face. Before I realize who it is, the policeman says, “He sure looks like you. He could be your brother.” “No.” I deny. but he was right. I froze knowing that the guy was my other brother, Michael.
