Emrys smiled and waved when reached the other side and turned to look at them.
"You still take them to the park when we have our own mini park in the backyard," Ochre asked and leaned on the picnic table.
"They can't meet other children here. It's important for both Saffron and Amy to have friends their own age. Who aren't related to them," she added thinking of all the cousins they had in town.
"How many cousins are there?" he asked.
Emrys looked at him.
He shrugged, "I've been in space the last five years. I haven't kept up with the family here as well as I should have."
Emrys rolled her eyes, "Well between you and me we have our cousins: Cinnabar, Amber, Harmony and Rohan. Then their children: Charlie and Holly Lopez are Cinnabar's, Amber has Red and Carmine Palette, Harmony has Perry Ballard. And Rohan is Aunt River's son, he's the same age as Amy."
She looked at him blink at her and smiled, "too much?' she teased.
"Not at all," he tried to lie and Emrys laughed at him.
"There you two are," Toya said as he walked around the low wall of the playground.
"Hey Toya, I was just giving Ochre a quick run down of the family tree."
"Good luck with that," Toya snorted sitting with them at the picnic table, "your family has kids like it's going out of style."
"That's only because Grandma Brynna had five children," Emrys argued, "five. And Uncle Rhonan hasn't had a child yet."
"Off topic from what I came to discuss," he said waving his arms between them as if he could wave away the entire discussion."
"Your Aunt Mags and Amber have finished processing the files I found. We're almost ready to present them before the tribunal."
"But what about my brother. If we have Joel arrested before we find him we might never be able to."
"That's just it Emrys. I found him."
"What? When?" Emrys asked leaning towards Toya. Ochre glanced at the children before leaning in too so they could keep the conversation quiet.
"This morning. I made the final connection that lead me to the boy."
"How did you find him?" Ochre asked.
"Your mom said Joel was keeping him somewhere else but none of the business papers or gossip columns have ever mentioned him having a son. So I tracked all the property's he owns and organizations he's made donations to. For the last nine years he's been making substantial donations to a boarding school in Sunset Valley."
"My brother is there," Emrys said.
Toya nodded at her, "I hacked the schools files. Joel is listed as the emergency contact for one Robert Calson."
"He changed the boys name so he couldn't be found," Ochre said.
"I think so. Your uncle is making plans with Hunter for him to travel out there and watch your brother while Lean and I present our files. You two will go and get your mom out of his house."
"It's really time to bring her home," Emrys said looking back and forth between the sims.
"It's time," Ochre confirmed, "let's drop the girls off at the center for their classes then we'll go and get your mom."
