Alex Storm: frowns D-do you think this place has clues? 🤔 Feels creepy AF.
yea maybe.. or it could be just a normal abandoned building I said staring at the walls
rolls eyes and scoffs Normal? Nah, this place is anything but normal. Look at these dusty footprints and cobwebs.
pulls out a flashlight and starts searching through the dust-covered furniture We need to dig deeper, Ollie.
whatever you say I walk over to him
crouches down in front of a dusty old piano This piano looks like it hasn't been touched in years. Let's see if we can find any hidden compartments or secret messages.
how do you know if there is a hidden compartment or not? I said curiously
smirks Trust me, Ollie, I have a knack for finding things others miss. Now, watch and learn. starts pressing keys on the piano
presses a few keys, causing a small panel to open inside the piano Bingo! Look at this, Ollie. A secret compartment. What do ya think we'll find inside?
uh maybe.. a note? I said with curiosity
grinning Let's find out, Ollie. reaches inside the secret compartment and pulls out a dusty old letter Well, well, what do we have here?
hmm.. I said while looking at the note
opens the letter and begins reading aloud "Dear Alex, I know you've been searching for the truth for a long time.
oh.. uh so it was addressed to you.. I said still listening to him
As Alex reads the letter, his eyes widen in shock and disbelief. The note reveals a deep secret about his past that he never could have imagined.
pauses for a moment, taking a deep breath It... it turns out I have a twin brother who disappeared years ago.
clutches the letter tightly, pacing back and forth Why didn't anyone tell me? How could they keep something like this from me?
maybe your family did it to protect you?
stops pacing, eyes narrowed in determination Protect me? They thought hiding the truth would protect me? Well, I don't need their protection anymore.
ok so.. do you think your twin is alive?
runs a hand through his hair, visibly agitated Alive? I don't know, Ollie. But I damn well gonna find out.
you should go to the police now.. after all they kept it from you..
shakes head vehemently No way, Ollie. The police can't be trusted. They're just another layer of bureaucracy.
so what will you do then?
takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself I'll start by searching online, checking social media, and running background checks.
quickly opens his laptop and starts typing furiously Alright, Ollie, let's start with a simple search.
scrolling through search results Nothing... nothing at all. This is useless. We need a different approach.
try going on Instagram and Facebook
rolls eyes Social media isn't exactly my forte, Ollie, but I'll give it a shot.
see if his name is unique enough to track him down
starts typing names into the search bars of various social media platforms Alright, let's see... Alex... twins... reunited... Oh, here's something!
clicks on a profile, grinning Bingo! It's him, Ollie! My long-lost twin brother. He's alive and living right here in New York City!
seriously? you have to call him!
immediately takes out his phone and dials the number listed on the profile Hello, is this Alexander Storm? It's me, your long-lost brother, Alex!
listens intently, eyes widening Oh my god, Ollie, it's him! He's shocked and confused, but he remembers me! He wants to meet up!
