Start from the beginning
                                    

"Reason to believe? How do you know it's him?"

"Where is he? Is he alright?"

"How did you find him?"

"He was pronounced dead - the police were the ones to tell me to stop looking! And you're trying to tell us he's alive?! All this time!?" Roman screamed, "I could've been searching for my brother but whenever I did I was told off! He was kidnapped! And only now you found him?! Years later!?" He ranted, proving he was still furious about what happened so long ago.

"It was unsafe" the police officer replied back calmly, rising from the seat. "We told you to stop for your safety - what if you were kidnapped too?"

"Then I would've found my brother and saved him, something than you couldn't do!"

"You would have left your father and brother with two missing family members-!"

"And I still would have done a better job than you!" He yelled, voice overpowering theirs as it steadily rose. He was shaking with rage, hands clenched so tightly his nails began to dig into his palms, drawing small lines of blood, but he didn't care, they couldn't save his brother, and now so many years later, after they pronounced him dead, have they got a lead?

"How? How did you find him, if it is him?" Logan finally spoke, standing up while grabbing Roman's arm gently, telling him to calm down silently, as he would get into trouble for attacking an officer. The two officers softened their voice back to the tone it was before, wanting to keep the situation calm, and not rile Roman up more than he already was.

"Through another case...the woman who cared for your brother is a suspect in a drug-related crime, we searched her house and found him"

"So, you are trying to tell us you think you found our brother on the soul bases that he looks similar? Because I cannot remember doing any deoxyribonucleic acid testing...DNA testing" he corrected himself quickly after noticing their expression cross with slight confusion.

"He matches the description" the officer shifted a little, regretting coming here in the first place but they both felt it was right to inform the family as soon as they had a lead, "also, he is not related to the man they both said was his father - he died two years ago from a work accident"

"Fucking deserved it" Roman muttered under his breath, sitting back down on the couch to hold his head in his hands, breathing wobbly as he tried to understand the information that was just placed onto his shoulders. Logan slowly sat back down beside his brother, wanting to comfort him, but that was more his fathers forte. Speaking of, the man was still sitting as still as a statue, tears trailing down his cheeks softly. Some part of him never got over his sons kidnapping, it was the main reason his wife took her life...they lost so much.

Finally, he rose his head, eyes gazing at the two people who have the possibility to change their life forever.

"Where is he?"

They arrived at the station an hour later, following the officers as they led them down a hallway. The three were silent, Patton's hand clasped tightly with Roman's, squeezing it softly every now and again in a reassuring and loving way. Each time, Roman sent his father a smile, he had calmed down considerably since the news was revealed to them, now he just felt numb. It was horrible to lose his brother at the age of seven.

"He's in here but..." the officer paused momentarily, hand resting on the doorknob. "Tread carefully" the three nodded, Roman being the first to step into the room once the door was opened. Sitting at a table next to a kind looking woman was a boy no older than sixteen, dressed in dark clothing that was matched perfectly with the patches of purple, bangs falling over his eyes that darted up to the door once it opened.
