Family isn't about whose blood you have. It's about who you care about. -Trey Parker and Matt Stone, South Park
My Family
by Molly Walker
My dad's name is Matt Parkman, and he's my hero. The Boogeyman came to my house in California and killed my birth mom and dad. Matt was the policeman who came to my house and found me in my hiding place under the stairs. Later he kept the Boogeyman from trying to take me away and he promised that he wouldn't let anything happen to me. So he adopted me and we moved to New York City.
The people that Matt works with are like my family, too. Dad's partner is Detective Flack, and he's pretty cool. He doesn't mind it if I sit at Matt's desk in the bullpen and color or work on my homework, and sometimes gets me snacks from the vending machine. Flack can speak Irish, and he taught me a little bit of it. When Matt finally made detective Flack took us out for pizza to celebrate.
Most of the rest of my family works in the crime lab at the police department. Stella's like my aunt, and she's real nice. If Matt has to work and Stella has the day off, she lets me come hang out at her apartment. Stella knows how to speak Greek and Italian and she taught me some Italian words. I want to learn Greek, but Stella thinks I should wait until I can speak Italian a little better because Greek is really hard.
Adam works as a tech in the lab. He's really cool and really funny. I guess he's like my big brother, because he likes to tease me and call me "Little Sister". He's really good at video games, and even had to play a computer game to help find a suspect during a case once! Adam promised to get me a video game system for my birthday even though Matt's against it.
Uncle Sid works down in the morgue. He's not my real uncle, but he likes it when I call him "Uncle Sid". So that's what I call him. I don't get to see him a lot, because he spends a lot of his time in the morgue and Matt won't let me go down there. He says I don't need to see any dead people. But sometimes I'll see him if he comes up from the morgue and he'll stop to talk with me a little bit. And Matt and I go over to his house for dinner every week; Uncle Sid used to be a chef before he worked in the morgue, and he's really good.
Sheldon used to work in the morgue with Uncle Sid, but he decided he liked being a CSI better so he changed jobs. He's really smart, and always helps me with my homework if I'm stuck.
Danny's pretty cool, like Adam. He always calls me "Moll". Danny likes to joke around a lot, especially with Adam or Flack, and sometimes with me. His favorite sport is baseball, and Danny told me that one day he's going to take me to a Yankees game. Lindsay works in the lab and is Danny's girlfriend and she's like my big sister. Danny calls her "Montana", because she used to live there. Lindsay and I go out for "coffee breaks" together. She gets coffee and I get hot chocolate.
And then there's Mac. He's the boss of the crime lab. He acts gruff and stern sometimes, but he's really a pretty nice guy. I like to talk to him sometimes, when I'm missing my birth mom and dad. Mac's wife Clare died in 9/11 so he knows what it's like to lose somebody important.
So, that's my family. I wasn't born related to them, but they care about me like I was. And that's all that matters.
