Just as he was about to go back to the hospital room, his phone received a message.
“Mr. Fredrick, I’ve got the information on Theodore and the Anderson family’s history, just as you asked.”
Holden, puzzled, replied, “Weren’t the original records supposed to be dust in the wind, making it a tough nut to crack?”
“We managed to recover a copy using some technical wizardry,” the person responded.
Without a second thought, Holden replied, “Okay, send it over.”
Moments later, a file landed in his inbox.
When Holden opened it, a picture of Theodore that looked exactly Like him was on the document. Everything about Theodore was the same as him, including the birthdate and the height.
With a burst of optimism, Holden thought he had at last found proof that he was, in fact, Theodore. He read on calmly, but the next instant, a furrow appeared on his brow.
In addition to Theodore’s data, the file included historical information on the Anderson family.
However, an oddity surfaced within the section chronicling the Anderson family’s past.
According to the file, Theodore’s mother, Aimee, had fled and wedded into the Anderson family. Subsequently, she had given birth to a pair of twins with Darian.
Shortly thereafter, discord had brewed between Aimee and Darian, culminating in their divorce. After the split, Darian had adamantly refused to let Aimee go with both children to the Fredrick family.
She had only been allowed to take one.

Consequently, one twin had been brought to the Fredrick family, while the other, Theodore, remained with the Anderson family and had tragically perished in a car accident five years ago.
In essence, the identical resemblance between him and Theodore arose from their fraternal bond, and his biological father was none other than Darian.
Holden remained motionless, fixated on the document for an extended moment. After a while, he slowly typed into the message box. “Keep the investigation rolling. There’s no need to have you around if you cannot find the real information.”
Once the message was sent, Holden sneered.
Twins? It looked like a plausible explanation for their identical appearances and why everyone would mistake Holden for Theodore.
But even for identical twins, could their fingerprints be utterly identical?
Who were they trying to fool? If he hadn’t stumbled upon that apartment, perhaps he could have bought into this story of the twins.
