SISTERLY CONVERSATION

"The weather is looking good today, isn't sis."

"The weather would be looking good today if you weren't late."

"I had no choice. If I came early my parents would be asking a lot of questions or better yet they would have me followed."

"My parents would do the same. For some reason they don't want us to know we exist."

"Here we are. Who knew we lived two miles from each other."

"I guess our parents never suspected we would find each other."

"My name isn't Sara. I couldn't use my real name."

"Funny you should say that. My name isn't Kelly." I guess we both think alike. What is your real name?

"My real name is Riley. What's yours?"

"Names Ryann with two N's."

"I guess our parents think alike too."

"Why do you think that is? I mean look at us. We are twins with practically the same name, living two miles from each other.

"I know. This is crazy. But we have to ask ourselves this question. Why would our parents hide us from each other?"

"Do our parents know each other?"

"That's another good question."

"You want to talk a walk. I hate standing in one place."

"Me too. I wonder what else we have in common. What's your favorite color? My favorite color is blue. I love everything about the color blue. My room is blue. My parents think I'm crazy to have everything I own in one color."

"My parents think the same thing. My favorite color is purple."

"One time I dyed my hair blue. My mother got so angry with me. She told me change your hair back to brown immediately or we will disown you."

"The same thing happened to me with one difference. My mother slapped me."

"I'm sorry she did that." I got slapped too. I wore a dress my mother didn't like."

"Why do our parents think they can control us?"

"I know right. My parents especially my mother is so controlling. I can't do nothing without getting caught."

"Wow, we are so much alike. Our moms are so much alike. That is a big coincidence."

"You think out moms know each other?"

"I think they do. The big question is how."

"I miss having somebody to talk too. Believe it or not me and my mom used to talk a lot. We used to do things together. I don't know what changed."

"You were lucky to be close to your mom. My life life was the total opposite. Me and my mom never got along. I was always a problem for her."

"I'm, sorry for that sis. Now that we found each other we have each other."

"You are easy to talk too. It's hard to imagine I'm a twin."

"I always wanted a sister. I only have brothers. My parents love them more than me. That's the change I saw in my mother. As I grew older, we grew apart."

"I'm an only child. My mother always wanted more kids. My father too. I was the blame. Always the blame."

"I'm sorry sis."

"Me too sis. Let's see what else we have in common. I'm don't want to talk about the sad part of our lives."

"Favorite food. Mine is pizza."

"Mine is pizza too, But I do love me some burger and fries."

"I love mine with extra pickles."

"I hate pickles. They make me wanted to throw up."

"I guess that's where we are different. That's okay. There's bound to be things I like that you don't like."

"I'm glad to hear that. Now tell me. What's your dream vacation?"

"I always wanted to go backpacking through Europe."

"Me too. I never had the money to go or anybody to go with me."

"My parents had the money but they never wanted me to have my freedom."

"Here we go again talking about the sad part of our lives."

"Every time we share something about our lives, we realize how much our parents took from us and how bad we were treated."

"How we are still being treated?"

"They kept us from each other."

"Do you ever wonder what else they are keeping from us aside from the fact we are twins and we never knew about each other."

"I wonder about that every day. I'm still wondering right now as we speak."

"Have you ever noticed when you are home and you walk pass your parents they stop talking and they won't start talking until you leave. Then they talk in hush whispers."

"I've noticed that a lot. One time I heard my parents talking so I sat on the stairs and listened."

"Did you hear anything?"

"The moment I sat down my mother heard me. She stopped talking until I left. You know what else I noticed. The secret phone calls my mother gets."

"Mondays and Fridays. 2 pm."

"Yea. How do you know?"

"My mother gets them too."

"One time I answered. My mother snatched the phone out of my hand and slapped me."

"At 1:50 pm my mother sits by the phone waiting for it to ring. I always ask her why she does that. She tells me it's none of my business.'

"I've been followed. Have you?"

"I've always felt like I was being followed. I always check my surroundings but I see no one."

"My parents think they are slick. They think I don't notice I'm being followed."

"Do you know why they are doing that?"

"No. I know if I ask my mother, she won't tell me." She hates it when I ask questions. I've been doing that a lot lately."

"I hate asking my parents questions especially my mother. She's a cold woman. I never knew she was that cold until I grew up."

"You know what I don't understand. We are twins but we have different parents. How is that possible?'

"Something fishy is going on."

"When did you start to notice something was wrong?"

"My mother got a speeding ticket on Grovers RD."

"Hmmm. My mother got a ticket there too.'

"Why would they be on Grovers RD?"

"Oh My God!"

"What is it?"

"If you go down to the end of Grovers Rd, that's where the woman's prison is located.'

"Are you sure?"

"Positive.'

"Why would they be going there?"

"who knows. What other things have you noticed?"

"Well, one time I was looking at my baby book. My mother snatched it from me and told me to never look at it again. Did the same thing happen to you?"

"I tried to find my baby book. I couldn't. I asked my mother about it. She never gave me an answer. Then I did some thing behind my mother's back."

"What did you do?"

"I went and ordered a DNA kit from 23 and me from the Ancestry site. That's how I found you."

"I'm glad you found me."

"I'm glad I found you. Let's recap. Our mother's got a speeding ticket on Grovers Rd. They probably went to the women's prison. Both our moms are hiding our baby books. Lastly you took a DNA test and found me."

"Don't forget about the secret phone calls."

"Right. Is there anything else you noticed about our moms or father's?"

"Well, my dad never questions my mom. She gives him the stink eye if he questions her."

"My dad too. He's the biggest push over I ever seen."

"What are we going to do?"

"I don't know. Whatever we plan it has to be full proof. No one can know what we are doing."

"When should we meet again?"

"Soon. Take this."

"What is it?"

"It's a burner phone so I can contact you without our moms knowing."

"Be careful sis. I had a good time talking to you, getting to know you."

"Me too. I will be careful. Try to find out more. I will do the same."

"I will see you soon."

"See you soon.'
