Chapter 15 - The Final Blueprint

Inside the cardboard box lay a silver encrypted flash drive.
Beside the flash drive rested a single photograph document.
I picked up the photo with careful, trembling fingers.
The image showed an old medical laboratory facility building.
A building located deep inside the remote mountain woods.
Standing in front of the building was a woman.
A woman wearing an expensive cream silk trench coat.
She held a newborn baby in her arms smiling.
My blood ran completely ice cold in a single second.
The woman in the photo was my biological mother Teresa.
Beside her stood a tall man in a dark suit.
The man in the suit was Amy's biological father.
The father we believed died ten years ago in accident.
He wasn't dead at all.
He was alive and standing outside the secret facility.
I flipped the photograph over to read back side.
A message was written in neat, elegant handwriting text:
"Hello, my son Connor."
"Teresa was only executing my instructions all along."
"I created the trust fund to test your engineering mind."
"You passed the test, my brilliant boy."
"Now it is time for you to take over."
"I am waiting for you at the mountain facility."
A floorboard creaked softly behind me on porch.
I turned my head slowly around in dark shadow.

Standing near my front door entrance in darkness,
Was a tall man wearing a dark tailored suit.

He raised his hand and smiled at me warmly.
"Welcome to the real family business, Connor," he whispered.
