Whenever we felt like the law might be closing in on us, we moved. That meant we didn’t have to pretend to be married anymore. Sometimes we were just roommates, sometimes we were brother and sister, sometimes we were boyfriend and girlfriend living together. We kept moving south, one state after the next, until we were down in the swamps of northern Florida.

We bought a double-wide trailer on a hill, near a lake. The lake was beautiful. We didn’t have a boat, but we loved to swim.

I got a job cleaning a rich couple’s house. They lived on a large ranch with several acres. They were very young, and I wondered how they had acquired all this. Old money, maybe?

Marcella and I had changed our names again, but this time we were living as brother and sister. So now we could actually date if the chance came around.

It did for me. I got talking to the girl who worked at the stables at the back of the ranch. Her name was Chessi, she was about my age, and had long brown hair pulled back in a ponytail. She was a pro at riding horses, and rode them for show. She was at college now, and this was a part time job for her.

Marcella didn’t think it was a good idea. “Castor, we’re on the run, you know. How can you start a relationship off as a lie? She thinks your name is Jacob, for God’s sake. How can you go on like this?”

But we were just dating, it wasn’t like we were going to get married. I continued to see her, regardless of Cella’s protests.

“And what if you fall in love?” Marcella snapped once.

It was true. Chessi was a great girl, and I was starting to fall for her. But I decided to just keep it slow. What else could I do?

There was something odd about the rich ranch owners that we worked for, but I couldn’t put my finger on it. In the end I just ignored the strange feeling that had come over me. After all, I had never met them in my life before I started working for them. Their names were Jeremiah and Brooke.

During our break, Chessi and I would run down to the river and have some fun, basically. We shouldn’t have been doing things on the job, though, so we decided to wait until we got off work. I had the feeling that Jeremiah and Brooke were always watching us, so we had to keep things down.

But I was falling for Chessi, and was even considering settling down here with her. Tension rose between my sister and I, because she still thought it was a bad idea. Maybe she was just lucky that she’d never fallen in love!

We were using protection. But at one point the condom must have broke. Eleven months into our relationship, Chessi broke the news to me that she was pregnant.

I received a letter from Castor, and hit the ceiling when I did. He announced that he was living secretly somewhere, and was getting married. Married? I couldn’t believe this.

He didn’t give much detail in the letter, and wished that we could be there at the wedding. But we all knew that that was impossible.

According to Castor, Marcella had taken off and he had no idea where she was. She must have been mad about the wedding, he wrote. I had no idea that there was more to it than that.

I showed the letter to Stephanie, but we decided not to show it to anyone else, not even Kirk or Lani. We couldn’t risk word getting round the band, or to James.

I wondered whether he had told this girl that he was marrying his secret. I didn’t think for one second that she might be pregnant. And now nobody knew where Marcella was.

I didn’t like any of this at all. It was one big mess, basically. But I couldn’t control what was going on, so I just moved on with my life. I hoped and prayed that the marriage would work out, and that Castor would come clean about his past.

Marcella had freaked when she learned my girlfriend was pregnant, and had left in anger. Who knows where she went. I had no idea. I just woke up one morning, and she was gone. I didn’t blame her, though.

Chessi moved into the trailer with me, and we started to plan on getting married. I knew I should have told her my secret, but every time I thought I could, I couldn’t. I didn’t want to risk losing her or the baby.

We broke the news to Jeremiah and Brooke about getting married, but they didn’t seem too thrilled. They were such weird people!

I wrote to Ryan about getting married, but didn’t dare tell him that Chessi was pregnant. Nobody needed to know that.

So unfortunately, we didn’t have the money for a fancy wedding. We had to hurry it up, and get married at a registry office. But I loved my new wife, and didn’t regret the fact that we’d rushed into this.

Chessi never talked about her parents or family. I figured maybe she had secrets too that she wasn’t ready to talk about.

Our son, Daniel Thomas Ingram (my new last name), was born on a hot summer day, weighing 8 pounds 9 ounces. He looked a lot like Chessi.

Now we had to rotate work schedules at the ranch so that one of us would always be home with him. When he was old enough, we could take him to the ranch to tag along.

I took a photo of Daniel when he was born and sent it to Ryan and Stephanie a few months later. That way they’d assume he was planned!

One day, Chessi was home with Daniel while I worked a twelve-hour shift cleaning the house at the ranch. I could hear Jeremiah and Brooke arguing upstairs. They didn’t seem to realize that I was there.

“Dammit, Carl,” I heard Brooke hiss.
Carl? “I think it is Castor working for us! That Jacob or whatever his name supposedly is. I saw his sister before he got married, and I swear it was Marcella.”

“How is that possible?” “Jeremiah” asked.

“Because they escaped from prison, and they can work here under the table!” “Brooke” screamed. “Nobody would know where they were!”

OH MAN. Was it Cali and Carl? How could that be? Were they not really dead?

Hehe, you'll see. Just stay tuned. It's Ryan's turn!

We marveled over the picture of our new nephew, Daniel. Should we tell anyone that Castor was now married and had a son?

We did tell Kirk and Lani, but nobody else. They were amazed, and of course, weren’t sure how to take the news.

“I hope he isn’t living a lie,” Kirk said.

“Yeah. He’s in a lot of trouble, and that’s not right for a family,” Lani worried.

They were right. How could Castor go rushing into this situation? If he got arrested, it was little Daniel that was going to suffer, I thought unhappily. Would we have to adopt him, too? Surely his mother, who apparently was only a year older than Castor, wouldn’t be able to manage on her own.

“We will have to adopt him,” Stephanie decided. “It’s unlikely that she’ll be able to take care of him all by herself. Besides, Castor wrote that she was studying to be an engineer.”

“What about Castor’s education?” I lamented. “I’m not sure whether he finished at the prison.”

Who knew where his education stood. But now he had a little boy to take care of, so it was unlikely that he’d be able to get going on college, even if he had finished at the prison.

We knew that we couldn’t keep this a secret from James forever. Besides, he was panicking that Castor and Marcella would retaliate. So Steph and I went to Langley Mental Home (Myles was watching Sue) and assured James that Castor had a family now, and would be far too busy to come after him!

“What about Marcella?” he demanded. We replied that we weren’t sure where she was.

So would you believe that James chose to be paranoid over Marcella coming after him? Geez. We left the mental home, figuring that he really was crazy after all!

Now on to the fun stuff . . .

I had to get home by six, because Chessi had night school and I needed to be there to take care of Daniel. So I insisted that Cali and Carl come back to our trailer to talk this over.

They did. Cali had dyed her hair black, and was quite tall now. Carl wasn’t very tall, but had dyed his black hair red. I should have known that was why they looked so weird.

We got back to the trailer, and I explained to Chessi that Jeremiah and Brooke and I had some things to talk over, and that I’d tell her what happened when she got back. She looked skeptical, but I kissed her on the cheek and encouraged her to enjoy her class.

“Well, it’s College Algebra, so I probably won’t,” she answered with a laugh, then handed Daniel to me.

I entered the trailer with Cali and Carl, and they sat on the couch. I sat across from them with Daniel in my arms.

Cali, much like James, got right to the point. “We faked our deaths,” she began, “Then we took off down here. We had plenty of money, of course, so it was no problem getting this place in our names. We’re married now, but under the names Jeremiah and Brooke Finch, of course.”

“Why the hell did you fake your deaths?” I exclaimed.

“Because Dad knew I was on drugs. He was going to send me off to some demented boarding school.”

Carl added, “My parents knew about my alcohol problem, and I didn’t want to go to rehab. The fresh country air here in Florida did me good. I don’t really drink that much anymore. Honest. The band wasn’t helping.”

I couldn’t believe this crap. As they explained in detail their plan to fake their deaths, they hadn’t needed to make things as complicated as they had made them. When Marcella and I had planted the bomb, they hadn’t even been in the building. When it went off, they made the split decision to pretend they’d died in the explosion. Then they made fake ID’s and took off to Florida to buy the property they’d been viewing online for a while. Then they got married.

I needed time to digest all this information. Luckily, as though right on cue, Daniel began to cry, so I excused myself from the room. I fed him and changed him very slowly, so I wouldn’t have to go back and face them right away!

As I rocked him back to sleep, I knew I couldn’t stall for too long. So I carried him back into the living room and continued to ask my round of questions.

“So nobody knows about this? Not even Myles?” I asked them.

“Erm, well, actually Myles does. But he’s the only one. Nobody else. He knew about our situation, so he was very supportive.”

Wow! So Myles knew. Nobody else did, though. I guess Myles kept secrets well; who would have known that?

“Look,” Cali said finally, “I know I’ve been a real bitch to you. I never thanked you for your kidney, and I’m sorry. I really was grateful for that, but was too spaced out on drugs to do what was right. So I haven’t been very nice to you.

“But now we’re both in a lot of trouble, and we have a secret between us. I won’t tell anyone if you won’t, and then you won’t go back to prison, you can raise your family, and Carl and I can continue to live our lives too. Sound good?”

“Well, hold on a minute. I do want to tell my wife. I can’t bear to keep this a secret any longer,” I said.

“That’s fine,” Carl replied. “Only Myles knows. So if only Chessi knows, that’s okay too. But no telling Ryan or Kirk or any of those people you knew back in California. Deal?”

What choice was there? I shook their hands. And funny enough, I felt forgiveness come over me about Cali. Yes, she’d been a bitch. But we’d both had huge lessons to learn in our lives, and it was time to make amends. I can’t say I fully trusted her, but both Chessi and I needed this job, and we had dirt on them, after all.

Apparently Cali had gone through rehab for her drug problem, and had also cut down on her alcohol. I didn’t blame her for not wanting James to put her in some boarding school. But their parents thought they were dead, and that wasn’t right.

Then again it wasn’t right that Marcella and I had escaped from prison! So we were both harboring huge secrets, and I hoped it would work out. I would do anything to see my little boy grow up – even if it meant doing what Cali said.

I was watching a program about conspiracies. One rumor on this show was about Elvis Presley really being alive to this day, working for the secret service. Another was that Neil Armstrong had never really landed on the moon, rather, it was shot on a backdrop at a studio!

Each rumor was interesting. But then the best one came on: Cali Hetfield and Carl Rodgers were not really dead, but had faked their deaths and were living on a ranch somewhere!

How stupid was that? Castor and Marcella had killed them! It was fact!

Stephanie laughed her butt off at that one. Sweet Sue asked, “Are these true or are people just making up stories?”

“They’re making up stories, honey,” I replied.

It was still funny, though. To think that Cali and Carl were living somewhere, maybe as husband and wife, hiding such a ridiculous secret.

Apparently James saw that episode too. He called me at the house and said, “Isn’t it disgusting? That they’re making up rumors about her still being alive? That makes me mad. I should sue.”

“Who are you going to sue?”

“Whoever made the ridiculous documentary saying that.”

Yes, James. Go right ahead and sue from the mental home, I thought.

I didn’t know why he was still keeping in touch with me, considering that I’d been his most distant child. But it was probably because I was all he really had left.

But we would be going on tour again soon, so he wouldn’t be able to keep calling me, since my cell phone wasn’t going to work out of the country.
