Knock! Knock! The door opened. “Detective, can you come out for a moment?” An Officer peeked inside. “Ah.. Okay..” Detective Benjamin Jones stood up. “Well, I guess I’m needed. I’ll be back.. Ah.. I’ll have someone bring you some more water.” Ace nodded. “Thanks.” The detective smiled and left him in the room. “What is it?” Detective Jones asked. “It’s this case–” The Officer handed him a folder. Detective Jones opened it and saw that it’s about his other case, unrelated to Ace and the Lovell family. He followed the Officer and joined him in investigating that case. Meanwhile, in the other room, Ernest and Lillian were on tenterhooks as they waited for the results. “What do you think the result would be?” Ernest asked. “I swear it’s really him.” Lillian said. “But the algorithm could have made mistakes..” “You think that the algorithm you made would be defective?” Lillian raised a brow as she looked at her husband. “Well–no.. But with technology, sometimes that happens.

The Wait
Soon, Emma, Hugh, Priscilla and Leroy with their drivers and bodyguards flew over. They opted to not bring maids since they were staying at the hotel anyway.Their food would be taken care of. As for their clothes and essentials, it was already well-packed by their maids earlier.At this time, Ernest and Lillian have not returned to the hotel yet.They were still waiting for the results.But they have already been informed by Emma that they’re heading to Westbury City to join them.“Leroy must have seen the report today.” Ernest said.Lillian nodded. “Mn.”They knew that Leroy checks on it everyday so they were not surprised to hear that they were heading to them because of this.They were the ones who asked Leroy to do this.But Ernest had direct contact with the police departments nationwide though. Since they have worked with him for years now as they use his software program.Two hours have passed.Emma and the rest have arrived in Millpoint City and were on their way to Westbury

Result Says
“Hello.. I’m here again..” Doctor Lawrence Murray said to Ace.The latter was startled at his change in attitude.His brows pulled together slightly.“Hello..” He echoed his greeting, nodding at him.“Doctor Lawrence Murray is here to explain to you the test we did earlier.” Detective Jones said.Ace looked confused as he looked between Detective Jones and Doctor Murray.“The swab we did earlier was for DNA testing.” Doctor Murray began.“DNA testing–right.. Right..” He nodded.Detective Jones however could see from Ace’s face that he didn’t really understand what it was for.‘Why does he seem clueless about it? Surely, any one who has access to information would know what DNA testing is..’“And–I now have the result.” Doctor Murray took out the papers from the yellow envelope he brought.Ace was rocking his leg up and down under the table.He was increasingly becoming anxious.‘What are they doing? It’s taking too long! I need to go back to her now.’ His eyes darted to the door sever

A Match
“I see.. Tell you what, I’ll see what I can do.”Ace furrowed his brows. “Are you going to look for them?”“If you want to–” Detective Jones smiled.Ace nodded. “Of course I want to! But how? You don’t know where they live..”“You don’t have any recollection of where you have grown up before you were taken?”Ace shook his head. “I had not memorized that part yet before I was taken.”Detective Jones understood this.At 5 years old, children are still being taught the alphabet, rhymes and numbers.These days, parents and teachers are encouraged to teach the young children to memorize their names, birthday, parents’ name, parents’ phone numbers, home address and are even taught how to dial the police station.It was already good that Ace mentioned that he at least could remember his own name, birthday and nicknames of his family members. And though it sounded unclear, it seemed that he remembered that his last name is Lovell.“Then–if you can find them. Please–” He avoided Detective Jone

99.999%
“Can you show me the results?” Priscilla asked.“Yes. Here it is..” Detective Jones quickly handed the yellow folder to her. He had left earlier to take the sketch artist to the room where Adrian was, then came back to bring the folder to Ernest and Lillian.Priscilla opened it and took out the papers inside.She looked over the contents and proceeded to check for the Probability of Paternity.There it was.“99.9999%” She read.“It’s really him!” Emma gasped.There was another page as well. It tested whether Lillian was the mother.It produced the same result.Priscilla teared up as her hands shook.Leroy pulled his wife into his arms.“We’ve found him. We’ve really found him..” Her voice shook.It was like a huge weight had been lifted off her chest.It was the same for Emma.The two had been carrying this emotional burden for as long as they could remember.And now, they would finally be reunited with their youngest brother, Adrian.“Where is he now?” Emma asked the Chief and the De

Contradiction
Adrian could not believe it right away.“Yes.. There’s no doubt about it.” Detective Jones nodded, a smile appeared on his face. “Would you like to see them?”Adrian just looked at him with a dumbfounded look.“Adrian? Would you like to see your family?” Detective Jones repeated.The other blinked up at him. He evaded his eyes.“Can I ask what’s on your mind?” Detective Jones said.At this moment, the Chief had brought Adrian’s family to the other room where they could see and listen to Adrian.The other Officers were startled upon their entrance in the room, but otherwise remained silent and respectful.As for Adrian’s parents and sisters, their hearts were beating fast as soon as they heard Detective Jones’s question and saw that Adrian seemed to be hesitating.Lillian held Ernest’s hand tighter, clinging on his support.She was afraid that Adrian would not want to meet them.After all, it had been years.‘Does he resent us? I wouldn’t even put it past him if he does. It was our neg

Approach
It took about 20 minutes for Ernest’s driver, John Garcia, to come back from the hotel which was more or less ten minutes away.The maid, Wendy Webb, was waiting for him in the lobby of the hotel and came out when John called that he had arrived.Wendy then gave him the bag which contained the things Ernest had asked for.John then quickly drove away as soon as Wendy entered the hotel again.Hugh’s bodyguard, Hoyt Cole then came out to get the bag from him while John parked the car.Per routine, the bag came through a security check before it was allowed inside.Hoyt then brought the bag to the room where Ernest was.“Here are the things, Detective..” Ernest handed him the bag.“Thank you.. I’ll take these to him now.” Detective Jones soon moved to the other room, bringing the bag with him.“Hey.. Sorry it took a while.. So, I got a set of clothes here and some hygiene stuff.” He said.“Mn. Thanks..” He nodded.“Come with me.. There’s a shower room you could use.” He said.“Okay.”Adr

Too Long
Adrian stood frozen.His heart was beating so fast.As the elderly man and woman approached him, he told himself that they were his parents. They looked nothing like how they used to before.To his last memory of them, Lillian still had jet black hair. She would style it with big curls. Her eyes were brighter and she of course barely had any wrinkles.Ernest too had fuller hair, barely any wrinkles and he also liked to keep a beard before.Now the two looked evidently older, and looked like they have worried so much all these years.“Adrian.. I’m sorry.. I’m sorry..” Lillian pulled him into a hug.Her warmth engulfed Adrian.He had not felt a warm embrace in years. He had already forgotten it.He felt his arm get wet with her tears.Adrian’s hand raised and patted her back instinctively.Then he felt Ernest’s hand on his shoulder, squeezing him, as if reassuring himself that his son was really there.“It has been too long.” Ernest had a lot of feelings in his heart that he thought it

Violet
Detective Jones and Howard Dawson followed Adrian inside.The woman who spoke just now was Violet Barrington, a 28 years old, brunette woman with striking blue eyes and heart shaped face.She looked at them in shock, not expecting for Adrian to bring people with him.She withdrew to the corner, her guard up.“Ace? Who are they?” She asked in a low voice.“This is Detective Jones–and Mister Howard.”“Howard is fine, Sir.” Howard interjected.Adrian nodded.“Detective?” Violet furrowed her brows. “Why is he here? Did anything happen?”Adrian turned to Detective Jones and Howard. “Will you two have a seat?”“Sure..” Detective Jones didn’t hesitate to sit on a couch while Howard remained standing.“Vi–we have to go somewhere else.” Adrian began.“What? Why? What’s going on? Who exactly are these people? Are they–” Violet feared the worst, thinking this was Mortimer’s men.“No–no.. Calm down for a bit, Vi.. I was taken to the Police earlier..” Adrian stepped forward as he scratched his hea

Dolled Up
Violet felt intimidated to have the two women in the room with her.She’s struck by how the two could just casually talk to her, essentially a stranger to them.They urged her to go inside the bathroom to wash up, even instructing her as to how to use the products when they noticed her facial expression.She had not used any of those fancy products for as long as she could remember. She had been used to using a bar of soap to use from her head to toe.Now, she used a shampoo, conditioner, and body wash with a sponge. There’s even a feminine wash for her to use.Afterwards, she heard knocks on the door as she was wrapping her body with the towel.“Yeah?” She uttered, quickly putting on the new underwear.She was actually given several in different sizes since they didn’t know what size she wore as they were preparing the room for her.“Are you dressed?” Priscilla asked through the door.“Umm–no.. Not yet..” She fumbled as she put on the dark blue tight fitted jeans, brown crocheted swe
