"As I mentioned I didn't know my dad that well." Mae began as Cedric and Ian listened closely to her story. "From what my mother told me, he worked in a different country and would only come to visit me maybe twice a year."
Cedric and Ian remained silent as Mae told her story, they simply nodded, acknowledging what she had said.
"One day, mom left me at home with my uncle, I think he was my uncle." Mae mumbled as she tried to recall the distant past. "Anyway, she left and she never came back."
"Both your parents are gone?" Ian asked, this was news to him. Nowhere in her records did it say that Mae was adopted.
"You didn't know that I was adopted?" Mae asked as she looked up at her boss and at Ian.
"No, it's not in your records Mae." Ian said as he shook his head. "And you know how thorough we check everything."
"That doesn't make sense." Mae said with a confused look on her face.
