A Taste of Liberation

  "Dead brother?" Bernadette was a bit confused at this point. Didn't Maria have only one brother?

"Yes," Adama nodded in confirmation, "I'm not fully sure since we'd stop our therapy for a while. But she has sent me a few interesting things over the weeks. She often has dreams that seem so intimate, if you understand what I mean."

"What else can you tell us about her brother?"

"These aren't exactly dreams but a manifestation of her subconscious."

"Who was this person they killed when they were young?" James asked. Bernadette was again shocked at the deep secrets of the Mucker family. What else do these fellows have to hide?
