“Drop it Kira or you will be sorry! Pete is my brother you know what I do for a living I could make your life hell I bet if I were to look into your background!’ Tad says
‘You could try but you know what maybe I’ll give you guys a break. And let this slide for now.’ Says Kira

He just disappeared ‘Randi recalls “She worked nights as a cabaret singer until she got sick. She got breast cancer and died .They took her away from me when she was in the hospital. A man came and took me to children’s services and they u me in Foster care! I begged them to take me to my mother but they said she was dead!’
“I’m sorry Randi that must have been so hard. I’ve know n a few singers over the years I wonder if we could ever have met? Jesse knew quite a few too he introduced me to a cabaret singer years ago. He introduced her to me once her name was Yvonne .’ Says Tad
