Angry, that was what Alex was feeling. Angry on Michael's behalf. Whether it was the people who had adopted Isobel and Max or the adoption agency itself, but someone had made a conscious decision to split the three of them up. Language or not, they must have known each other. They must have known that it was the three of them and then suddenly a lot more people.

But that poked something he'd wondered when he'd first found out about Michael's story.

"Are you three related? I mean, what you went through would pretty much make you family, but do you know if you're actually related? For that matter, how would anyone have been sure that Max and Isobel were twins?"

Unless that was why his father had ended up suspecting that something was going on with them. Unless there was some report out there that said 'other'.
