Siya: I still don't know how he got upstairs.

Snakes: I walked up the stairs. Need more clarification? Wait a demonstration on how to walk up the stairs?

Siya rolled his eyes at him and crossed his arms as he leaned on the door.

Sanele: So, we have something to you guys.

Sino: Uhm okay, are we going for training?

Mbali: Ohh, for a mission, that's cool as fuck, dresses in black, I bet it would look awesome on me.

She said examining her body.

Snakes: What you guys talk-

Lisa: Whoa what?

Snakes: At least one of you is smart-

Lisa: I'm thinking Woman In Black, mhm WIM, it has a nice ring to it.

Snakes: Or not, what the hell?

Sino: Maybe a spy mission?

Siya: What in the God damn world of missions are they talking about?

Sanele looked at them in disbelief while Siya was shaking his head. Snakes looked like he could lock them up with alligators.

Snakes: If they don't shut up, I'm gonna run them over with my car.

Sino: Jesus, we were just weighing our options chill.

Lisa: So what did you want to talk about? Any missions?

Mbali: I'm thinking-

Siya: If you don't shut up about these God need I say it, missions, you have gonna have no brain to think with!

He exclaimed smiling evilly

Snakes: Yeah, what he said.

He added with the same glint in his eyes as Siya. The girls quieted down with huffs and incoherent curse words and apparently how much the boys are no fun.

Sanele: So, now that the circus has came to an end, what I wanted to talk about is important. More especially for Sino and Lisa.

Sino and Lisa looked at each other and back to Sanele.

Siya: So a while back we had a Fingers guy pestering my girl, so we took care of him, but he left some information behind.

Sino paled at the mention of that forbidden name, a man who made her life miserable and unbearable, especially her mothers.

Siya walked over to Sino and took her hand.

Siya: He urm, we found your mother and sister sthandwa sam.

Sino tilted her head to look at him clearly, confusion was a whole understatement.

Sino: My mother?

The whole crew was awfully quiet, Mbali knew that Sino had a real family, one might Sanele told her. Lisa looked clueless, the movie Clueless had nothing on her right now, and it didn't help that Snakes kept on rubbing soothing fingers on her hand, as if consoling her. She looked up at him in irritation, he was oblivious to her.

Sino: What are you talking about Siya? My mother died when I was 8.

Siya started and explained everything, making sure to fill in what Fingers did and said for clarification of Lisa's mind.

Sino/ Lisa: What!!?

Everyone cringed, baby Lungi, thankfully was in his crib sleeping but the monitor was on.

Sino: No! No, I have no siblings, my mother never told me anything about- how, that's absurd.

She burst out and said, particularly to no one.

Sino: The woman who raised me, my biological mother that is, is dead.

Siya: Sino, that was not your mother-

Sino: No! How do you explain us being the same age then huh?

As soon as she said that, and no one answered her, her eyes went wide, shaking her head as tears were now spilling from her face.

Sino slumped down deeper on the couch, Siya wrapped his arms around her to comfort her.

Snakes: Lisa? My love are you okay?

Lisa: Huh?

Snakes: You're crying.

Lisa looked around and touched her face, tears were spilling from her face but she zoned out.

Lisa: Oh, uhm... I need some air.

She got up and ran outside, as soon as she stood outside, she glanced up feeling her eyes burning with hot new tears. She was feeling claustrophobic all of a sudden, she gasped for air but none came in, everything just faded around her. Snakes ran outside to find her clutching her chest tightly trying to breathe, he immediately panicked.

Snakes: Shit shit shit, sthandwa sam you having an anxiety attack, you need to breathe.

Snakes tried to talk to her, shouted for her to hear him, but she only heard distant voices.

Snakes hugged her tightly not knowing what to do, he was also panicking seeing her like this, something he wished to never see, her in tears and distraught.

Lisa started getting some air in, she felt a hard body pressed against hers, hushing her.

Snakes: You okay, you fine, Monalisa?

He pulled back to cup her face in his, she looked at him and just one look had her breaking down in tears, Snakes held her close as she went down on the ground. He didn't know she would take the news so bad. Lisa felt as if someone stabbed her and withdrew the knife from the wound. She couldn't believe it.

Snakes: Mona? Sthandwa sam talk to me.

Lisa: Sh-she... Oh my God Mndeni I thought she was dead.

Snakes: What are you saying my love? Who's dead?

Lisa's cries sobered up, but they were still on the ground with Snakes holding her to his chest.

Lisa: My mother told me I had a twin-

She hiccuped as Snakes ran his hand up and down her back soothingly, all of a sudden his rubbing not irritating her anymore as it did before, to her defense she hadn't known.

Lisa: We thought she was killed or human trafficked, she was took from the park. Me, dad and Moana- Sino, we went to the park one day, but I was still very young to remember but my dad told me that I had a twin and they took her from the park, with the life he lived everyone wanted him dead or his family dead, and unfortunately Moana ended at the receiving end.

Snakes kept wiping her tears, comforting her to continue. She hiccuped, it was really hard for her to talk about it, because for so many years she had thought her twin sister died and now-

Lisa: We tried everything, we looked for her everywhere but nothing, then one day my mother begged my dad to stop, she couldn't bare it anymore, she couldn't bare living in hopeless hope and somehow she lived in denial that Moana was dead, she still believed she was alive and she was right, how could I not recognize her Mndeni? How?

Snakes: You wouldn't have known, you two are in-identical, you couldn't have known my love.

Lisa shook her head adamantly, refusing to believe that because they not identical she couldn't have known, she's her twin damnit.

Lisa: No! I should've known, I'm such a bad sister, I didn't even feel the connection, nothing!

Snakes: She didn't either, and she's not beating herself up for it, come on lets get you up.

Lisa wiped the falling tears with the back of her hand as Snakes picked her up bridal style. She wrapped her arms around his neck, she didn't care if she was attracting attention right now, she needed to be in his arms.
