Alexander: This way is best. Remember, our grandfather requested our presence, he said
it is most urgent. It's about our parents. On our way back, we will stop to see him for
the holidays.

Daniella: I can barely remember them! I now busy myself looking for this artifact, when
memory of them come to me! Imagine, as we were told, they were two doctors doing so well
- at the top of their form - then NOTHING! GONE! Rachel has been like a sister to me. I
don't know what I would have done without her support!

Alexander: Joos was more of an older brother to me than an uncle. Let us pick up this piece
and return to Europe. You said her name was Anne van der Zee?

Daniella: Yes! Another Van der Zee! I don't know where she's from, we have only had email
correspondence - I don't know what she sounds like. Let us make it a very quick exchange
and head back. Alexander, I need to make another quick stop in Manhattan before we go.

Alexander: That shouldn't be a problem. I'll drop by the diamond district while you take
care of your business affairs. Daniella, we may have to stay a day or two in New York.
I don't know yet.

Daniella: An extra two days in New York City?! That is no problem! That will give me time
to do a little extra Christmas shopping. Look Alexander - Davis Library - we are here.
Let us finish this business quickly.

Daniella: Anne? Anne Van der Zee? Hi, I am Daniella Van der Zee and this is my brother, Alexander!

Alexander: Hello!

Anne: How do you do! Welcome to St. John's! I'm hope you found this place without much trouble!

Daniella: None at all! I don't know how to say this Anne, you are a Van der Zee, no? Are you American?

Anne: Actually no. I have lived in many places growing up, but my parents now live in Turkey.
I plan to go back there for the holidays. Would you like to see the piece you purchased?

Daniella: Yes please! Anne, please read this "Transfer of Ownership", prepared by my
attorney, although it is only a page long, we will have to get it notarized to make this
sale official. Don't worry, there is a notary downstairs. Is this the piece? Beautiful!

Alexander: Magnificent find, Daniella! You have a good eye!

Anne: Here is a picture of me and my parents. I took it before I left for the school year.

Daniella: I knew it.... I knew it.... I felt it all my life Alexander, they're alive!

Alexander: Anne, I think you already know what's going on. We are Van der Zees too. I think
we maybe related. We were told our parents died while we were still young. please excuse
Daniella. These two people in this picture are our parents!

Anne: They are very much alive Alexander. We moved to Turkey years back after bouncing around
the globe for awhile. I felt they were hiding from someone. I am sorry for being so honest,
but I knew it once I saw the picture Daniella sent via email; that she was my sister. That's
why I brought that picture to gauge her reaction. I just didn't know I had an older brother too!

Daniella: Let's take this one step at a time, Anne! Are you hungry? Let us go out for lunch,
I know a very good restaurant in downtown Manhattan. Alexander, let's leave for Europe at a
later date - we just discovered we have a baby sister!

Anne: Sure sis, let's go out to eat! I hope your limo has a mini bar. I just finished my exams
yesterday, now I find out I have a sister and a brother.... What a Christmas this is
going to be!
