“Are we family?” was the first question that escaped my lips, and Ummul nodded and looked at her daughter. She sighed and seemed reluctant to speak but then decided to do so. Ummul held my hand tightly and pleaded with me to sit next to her. Mike brought me a chair, and I sat beside her, still holding my hands.

She first thought Aesop had hired someone to kill her, but she later found out he had nothing to do with it.
