The address belonged to a small house outside town. Daniel recognized it immediately. It was where Emily had lived since leaving the restaurant. We contacted her and explained what we had discovered. At first, she refused to believe us. But when Daniel read Michael’s letter aloud, she began crying.
She admitted that she had spent years believing her brother had betrayed their father. She had never known about his sacrifices. Finally, she agreed to meet us the following morning. Before hanging up, she asked one question: “Do you know if Michael is still alive?”
