"We've been reacting."

Ben nodded.

"Not anymore."

Scott folded his arms.

"If somebody has hunted this family for twenty years..."

Ward looked at Storm.

"We find them."

I nodded.

"Where do we start?"

Ben smiled slightly.

"By questioning the only witness we have."

Every eye turned toward Nathan.

Nathan chuckled softly.

"I was wondering when you'd get around to me."

Scott pulled out a chair.

"You've spent twenty years remembering."

"Tonight..."

"...we're going to help you remember everything."

Nathan raised an eyebrow.

"You make that sound easy."

Ward smiled.

"It isn't."

"But memories don't disappear."

"They hide."

Storm poured everyone fresh coffee.

Nathan accepted the mug with a grateful nod.

He wrapped both hands around it.

The warmth seemed to steady him.
