That would kind of suck, but she shakes her head. Hales take care of her own, and if they were related somehow, Derek or Peter would know. "Except for my brother and uncle, all of my family's dead. I think if we had cousins or something somewhere else we would know about it."

Which is a bit of a relief because that would really suck. Alek's attractive. If she was willing to venture into her teenage girl feelings, she might even go so far as to say she likes him.
