PART FIVE

Caine stared at the young woman before him as if looking at a dream. It was as though his wife had come back to life. Cameron looked at him, "Actually, my name is Cameron, Cameron Matthews. My friends call me Cammy. Are you all right?" She asked. Caine's eyes focused and he smiled, "Forgive me, you look almost like my wife when she was your age. I am Caine. Jody says you know something about my son?"



Cameron looked at him. "I wonder, You see, I was adopted from birth and never knew my real mother so, I have no idea where I came from." Caine looked at her then, she laid the folio on the table and unzipped it. "I was working on a portrait when I suddenly began getting these images in my mind and I had to stop what I was doing and paint this." She pulled out the canvas and showed it to Caine.



He looked at the painting and gasped. Now he understood why Peter had retreated. To have seen such carnage had wreaked havoc on Peter's gentle soul. Caine now understood why Peter had withdrawn into himself. Jody came over. "The thing is, Caine that, with the exception of Peter, this is how we found the crime scene. The children were in their rooms and the parents were in their own bedroom. Everything was just as it was when it happened but, Peter evidently had already been there and left."



Caine nodded, "It was not long after that I found him in his apartment." Cameron listened to all of this then, looked Caine. "What I don't understand is how and why did I see this? I don't know your son, not personally anyway and i've never seen you before until now." Caine looked at her again then, beckoned her to follow. "Come, there is something I wish to show you."



She and Jody followed Caine into the apothecary and he pulled an old photo out of a drawer and held it out to the confused young woman. She looked at it and her eyes widened. "It....it could be a picture of me, who is it?" She asked. Caine took it back and smiled at it fondly. "It is a photo of my wife and Peter's mother, Laura Caine."



Cameron stared at the photo, "It could almost be me, I don't understand this." Jody looked at her, "What city did your parents adopt you in?" Cameron looked at her, "San Francisco, California. Mercy Hospital in the Mission District. According to what the records said, my biological mother agreed to give me up and two days later, she left. I don't know anything else. She didn't give her name or anything."



Jody nodded, "When is your birthday?" Cammy smiled, "May 21st, 1965." Caine's eyes widened and Jody looked at him. "What is it Caine?" The elderly Shaolin looked at both of them. "Peter was born the same year. I do not understand." Jody frowned, "Had Laura been away that month?" Caine nodded, "She went to visit her sister in San Francisco. But, it is not possible, is it?" Jody shrugged, "The only way to find out is a DNA test."



Cameron looked at them both, "A DNA test? Why?" Jody looked at her, "There is a possiblity that you are Peter's sister. Why you were adpoted, we have no idea but, the test comes first." She went over to her bag and pulled out a DNA swab package and took one from inside Cammy's cheek. Then, as she capped it, she smiled, "Dr Sabourn already has Peter's DNA on file. I'll be back as soon as we have a result. I'll have her put a rush on it." Jody left.
