He hands William the portrait and points at the women next to their father. William laughs a bit and looks at the lost look on his face. William then starts to understand more into this family search. William digs into the folder and finds the marriage license between their parents and all the birth certificates.
Dragon: So she is really trying to be the matriarch of our family. She is the oldest but not that old. Damn this is making more sense. So Wyatt you have a lot to learn about our family and I have some reading to do with this letter from all of you.
William hands Wyatt a large envelope. It has all the info about the draconis family. Wyatt opens the envelope and pulls a stuffed folder from it. Wyatt looks at all the papers in the folder then looks up at William.
Wyatt: How does this work? Why are you not surprised that the person that raised me and Josephine was not this woman leaning up against our father? I'm getting sick of the cloak and dagger shit. This was one of the reasons that when it came time I retired from the Marines. You need to help me understand because my mom. As he points out the women standing on William's left side. I want to know and understand may past once and for all or are you going to keep her lie going?
William grabs the letter from his siblings and sets it down on the table next to the stack of family documents.
Dragon: OK Wyatt calm down I will tell you the full story. But you have to understand something.
Wyatt: What do I have to understand? What do you know and is this the reason why none of us have had contact with you for most of are lives??
William looks at Wyatt as he has stood up and grabbed two brandy snifer glasses from the shelf in the kitchen of the tour bus. He sits them down on the table one in front of William and the other in front of himself.
William grabs a bottle of SOA Moonshine and sets it on the table between the glasses. He opens the bottle and pours a bit into the glasse and then gestures for Wyatt to sit down.
Dragon: OK dear brother I will tell you all the truths that deal with are family but I also need to ask you questions along the way to understand what you have been raised to believe deal?
Wyatt: Deal.
Dragon: Alright well first and foremost you need to get to know the people in this picture. The first person is our father. His wrestling name was Devils Draconis. But his real name was Jesse Wayne Draconis he was a drunk and an abusive a**hole but when Gunnar was born he had stopped drinking and was training me to become anything else but a wrestler.
But We see how that worked out then a few years later I started following his footsteps and started wrestling. I found out that mom was pregnant with twins you and Josephine. By this time he have retired from wrestling to be a better father to you both but life has a sick way of changing plans.
William and Wyatt clinked glasses together and shot back the Moonshine. Wyatt poured the next round as William pulled out their father and mothers marriage certificate and he handed it to Wyatt.
Wyatt: So our father didn't take off? That is what I was told he took off and took you with him.
Dragon: Nope I was 14 when you and Josephine were born. I left home when I was 15 or 16 to train at our father's gymn. Dad trained me but made sure I was still in yalls life till that fateful day.
A picture of William and their father training at the family gym. William is locking up with their father. William hands Wyatt the picture.
Wyatt: He looks so happy and proud. What do you mean that fateful day I'm confused again?
Dragon: We will get to that part real soon but first let's have you meet your real mother. She was a strong woman and had the ability to make sure our dad didn't do stupid things. I sometimes believed that she had dad in check. Her name is….
But before he says anything Wyatt stops him so that they can take another drink. William pours another bit of Moonshine into the glasses. They both talk about memories and stuff they remember about their father as the scene fades to black.. in the darkness we hear paper shuffling and glassware clinking…..
