The Princesses
Description
Hawaiian Princesses
From the moment they had first been picked up and carried away by Alex in the early morning as they tried to understand why their mother had taken them through the forest after leaving the cabin where she had been chained for as long as the two could remember, they had thought of her as their aunt.
The fact that she was black only meant that she was special. They grew up adoring her. They realized that Alex had been the one who brought them out of the forest into a new world of wonder.
As long as Linda and Lorie, both born in the cabin located deep in the Pennsylvania forest and raised by their mother who was chained to a ring in the center of the cottage, could remember their mother had painted, sang to them and had made sure they did their homework. Their mother took the best of care of them.
That had all changed. They had been introduced to grandparents that they met for the first time. They went to school where they met other kids in such large numbers that at first they were scared.
Their grandparents held a gathering where Alex and her friend Matt brought each of them a small gift. Matt turned out to be a great person to play Hooks and Ladder with.They liked him almost as much as their aunt Alex.
As they grew they also became friends with Nolan, Alex's partner's son who was the same age as themselves. The two of them argued with each other as who would get to marry him.
They learned later that Alex had invited their mother on a vacation to Maui.On this vacation, while walking on the beach, their mother met a man that they would later be proud to call their father. Their mother married Brian O'Neil and they like their mother were proud to become and O'Neil.
For them growing up on Maui was like growing up in paradise. They saw less of their aunt Alex and her mate Matt, but it was always a special moment when the two of them visited the island.
They had no idea how Alex could afford the magnificent home that she had that was right on the water front in a secluded area but they loved going there and swimming out between the rocks that formed a private entrance to the sea.
The years melted away. They both graduated early from high school and earned degrees from the University of Hawaii. They both decided that like Alex they wanted to be detectives but that seemed like it would be an impossibility. They approached Alex to see if she could give them a lead to getting into the business.
They were ecstatic to be made junior partners in Alex's new venture into private practice.
They had just made the move to Oahu when they got a call that launched them head first into their first case. They were surprised but pleased that they were bringing the first case to Alex's detective business.
The two of them brought the first case to Evercrest, McGregor, Smith and O'Brien Investigators and it was a case in which both of them learned that it was a dangerous profession where one face very real danger and could get shot.
