She took Nate to school Monday morning, endured her classes, and even aced a pop quiz in stats. All the while her mind kept thinking about Harrison and his mother. Part of her wondered if maybe being related was why she’d felt so connected to him, that maybe it was because he was her half brother, but that didn’t explain how much she wanted him. Then again, maybe siblings not raised together could feel that way. The idea made her sick. Another part of her hoped that perhaps the situation wasn’t what she thought at all. Lenny sometimes had a bunch of targets ripen together. One time she’d picked up money from five targets in a two-week period, three in California, one in Utah, and two in Nevada. Mostly birth fathers. Had Lenny ever targeted two birth mothers at the same time? She could remember it happening at least once. Maybe that was the situation now. The second target he’d mentioned on the phone yesterday might actually be Sherry. Yes. That could be it, Makay thought. By the time she arrived at IHOP for her shift, she was almost convinced.
