I sat on a couch next to Mayanna, who was holding her tea and looking down at it.

"Why were you in the barn?" Gavril asked.  We were in his and his wifes house.

"We are orphans and we can't go into the foster systems. A group of men came into our house demanded money and shot our mother and father when they couldn't give it to them. They were going to kill us and my bet is they are after us. We were hidding and were going to leave the barn at midnight." I told them and I saw A tear fall into Mayanna's tea I took it from her and pulled her into my lap.

"Do you know where they were from?" Max asked looking a little concerened.

"Two were from Russia like you and your brothers, and one was from Romania." I told him holding Mayanna who had cried herself to sleep. I heard a few intakes of breathe.

"How did you know we were brothers and how did you know we were from Russia?" Levi asked.

"One you have an acsent thats to deep and rich to be Serbian or Romanian,  two you look like people my family used to have work with in their store, and three Gavril called me child in Russian." I spoke camly and they looked at me suprised.
