"It takes you about one half hour to drive home and once in the house your daughter excuses herself to take a shower. "It was a long flight daddy and ... really need to clean up."While your daughter is upstairs taking a shower you fix yourself a scotch on the rocks and you think of how much your daughter seems to have grown in such a short time away from home. "Ah, if I were just a few years younger and not her father." You tell yourself. After finishing your drink you head upstairs wondering why. But we were still gambling that when we needed to confront High Command that the evidence would be so overwhelming that they couldn’t disagree.”“But?”“But information got to High Command too soon. We are certain it was Oltor. He’s been a problem since you defeated him twice at the competition. Much of the information sent was inaccurate and has been corrected. But you know how that works. Once a negative is seen, it is hard to turn it into a positive. And while trying to argue, the problem. Once, same time, I was about 8 or 9 and brotherGus said something that I'll never forget.And what was that?That I and my other brother were not wanted.And why would he say that to you?Because we all think that my mother would have paid a lot more attentionto a daughter and that she really wanted a daughter but she kept havingsons. He said that I and my brother were failed attempts at trying to havedaughters. I think he was upset that our parent didn't have time to payattention to any of us. She asked me if I had a few minutes to talk and I said, "Sure." We made small talk for a few minutes like, 'When did the power come back on?' and 'Was the pump ok?' Then it got silent again and I thought to myself, ‘Well you might as well take a shot and see what happens.' I told her that I really enjoyed what happened last night and I want to hold her again. There was silence on the other end and I thought well that’s the end of that. Then she said that she was so afraid that I wouldn’t feel.
