After Jody had gone, Cameron looked at Caine, her eyes clearly showing their confusion. "If the DNA is a match, does that mean that you are my real father?" Caine smiled, "It would seem to be so, child but, what I cannot understand is why my wife would give you up for adoption?" Cameron shook her head, her eyes still confused, "I don't know. Where is Peter? Do I need to see him?"



Caine led her to the room Peter was in, still seated and staring at nothing. Cameron looked at him and again, she felt that "connection" she had felt when she had done the painting. She walked over and sat next to him. "Peter?" She asked, "Can you hear me? I'm not sure how to explain this but, it seems I might be your sister. I'm not really sure who I am but, I saw what you saw. I want to help you, if you will let me." She wasn't sure but, she thought she heard a faint voice in her mind but, it was garbled so, she said nothing.



Jody had arrived in Dr Sabourn's office and explained the situation to her. The good Doctor agreed to put a rush on the sample and Jody sat down to wait. About 45 minutes later, Dr. Sabourn came back with the file and handed it to Jody. Jody thanked her and left to go back to the kwoon.



Cameron had taken Peter's hand in hers and was softly talking to him when Jody walked back in. She held the file out to Caine. "I haven't looked at it. I thought I'd leave that to you." Caine nodded and opened the file then, a puzzled look came over his face. "You are related to my wife but not to me. I do not understand. My wife is not your mother but you are related to her somehow."



Cameron looked at him. "I don't understand it either but, if I can help Peter, I would like to try. Is that still possible?" Caine nodded, "Yes, since you are related to his mother, you have a connection to him. Come, I cannot reach him. For some reason, Peter will not admit me to his mind. Hopefully, you can if you are still willing to try. Cameron smiled, "Yes, I have family, something I thought I would never have again. I want to help." Caine nodded.



Cameron followed Caine back to where Peter was seated in the meditation room, still surrounded by candles. Cameron looked around and saw a very elderly Chinese man tending the candles. She was suprised, she had seen him before but, she didn't know where or when. Lo Sei smiled when he saw her and nodded to her.



Cameron sat in front of Peter, as Caine directed her to. "Now, clasp Peter's hands in yours and close your eyes. Lo Sei and I will guide you in what to do, child, do not fear. You will encounter many things in Peter's mind that you will not understand. Press forward, find him, reach him. He will not let me in, I do not know why."



The young artist nodded, took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "I am ready, I think." She said. Caine smiled at her and laid his hands on her shoulders as he sat behind her. She felt the powerful presence of his mind and let him guide her where to go. He had been right, there were things she saw that she did not understand but then, they reached the latest memory, the house where all those children died.
