Patrick

Prologue

Patrick Orlon was never his own person. Him and his twin brother, Bryce have always been mistaken for each other. But when Bryce breaks the law in his brother's identity, Patrick will have to suffer major consequences. To avoid life in prison he will have to prove he is innocent by the end of August.

My Note

This is my first story. Please don't criticize it so much. Please leave helpful tips. Thank you and enjoy.

*beep* * beep* *beep* I switched off my alarm and got up. It was

5:00 in the morning, I reluctantly walked to the bathroom to take my shower.

"waah, waahh,waaahh", my son Micah always woke up to my presence.

"shh, go back to sleep." My wife, Sheila was supposed to be coming back from a business trip in Berlin. She makes most of the income. A year after graduating I still haven't found a job.

After I get ready I take Micah to my mom's house. She lives just outside of Anaheim.

"Patrick it's so nice to see you again."

"yes mom this is only for today. I already fed him and everything. If you need anything just call me, but not until 12:00. My interview should be done by then."

"Well Patrick I hope you get the job so that at least one of my kids could turn out alright."

"mom don't say that, I know Becky dropped out of high school to live with her dead-beat boyfriend, but I'm sure Bryce is going to turn his life around. He's my twin."

Her face was relieved which means what I said helped, but she and I both know that since my father died Bryce hasn't been the same. He started to hang out with the wrong crowd and now no one knows where he is.

I kissed Micah and my mom and headed for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena.

As I arrive at the parking lot my phone rings.

"hey Babe"

"hey are you back?"

"Well I'm about to board my next flight in Detroit, but I'll be home probably at 6:00."

"alright, I'm actually at JPL right now for my interview."

"Okay, well good luck I hope you get the job."

"thanks babe, love you"

"love you too"

"bye"

As soon as I entered the building my heart skipped a beat. Everything I had ever dreamed of being was here. The only thing standing in my way was the interview, and the only thing standing in the interview's way was the receptionist.

The interview went well I was asked many questions like,'why did I chose JPL?' and 'why do I want to be a computer engineer?' I should be called in a week or so to see if I got the job.

It was now 1:04, so I took the hour drive back to Anaheim to pick up Micah.

As I pulled into my mom's house I saw two police cars parked in the drive way, so I parked on the street.

I peeked throught the burglar-proof door and saw that some officers were questioning mom.

The look on her face ment something horrible had happened.( maybe about Bryce) She kept shaking her head.

"no,no, he would never do something like that. H- he knows better."

(officer)

"well ma'am, maybe you were wrong. Only a maniac/idiot would rob a bank, kill four people, and tell the bank teller to put the money in his account."
