Life and Amnesia

Part 12

It was now five years later and Randall now lived in his own house with his three children. He was still known as Alex Nicks to this day. He lived next door to the main Nicks family. The family had built this house for him and his kids.

Tyson was now grown and off to college. Adrian was 17 and in his junior year of high school.

Ollie was like a grandmother, but considered an aunt to the triplets. She helped watch them every day.

Rambo was their uncle, and like a grandfather too. He was still a mechanic.

Sherri, Alonzo, and Bianca were all going to be starting kindergarten that fall. They all knew they were different from each other, but knew they were related.

They called Randall their dad, but he also told them that they had multiple dads elsewhere too, hence why they were all different.

Randall still had memory flashbacks a lot and they were becoming more frequent now. He was even remembering the males from the asylum. From what he saw, two of them that looked like two of his kids, they must have been the fathers to Sherri and Alonzo. But it was hard telling who was Bianca's father.

He did want to find out who all these monsters were someday, but not until he knew who they were.

Alex had taken a long distance course about mechanics and now Rambo's boss was considering letting him come to work for him.

Mr. Yates gave Rambo the answer the following week.

Rambo came home one night and said that Alex could come work for him now, now that he had completed a class on mechanics.

Randall was thrilled, though the kids weren't. They liked having their dad with them through the days. But he needed to start earning an honest living for himself and them.

Randall started working the next week. Ollie watched the kids through the summer. Adrian could have helped too, but he was off doing teen stuff while he could.

At the mechanics station, Rambo helped Alex get started working on the vehicles. It was something he had wanted to do for a long time.

Five days into working on the new job, Randall was working on a truck engine when another mechanic yelled out orders to another. It startled Alex so much that he bumped his head hard on the hood of the truck.

"OW!" Randall cried out in pain. He held his head.

Rambo came over to him. "What happened, Alex?" He asked.

Randall looked to his left and he was shocked that he saw perfectly out of his eyes and he wasn't squinting.

"Are you talking to me?"

"Yes. What happened?"

Randall looked at his situation. "I bumped my head, that's what happened!"

"It happens sometimes."

"What am I doing here? And who are you?" Randall demanded.

"Very funny, Alex. You know me, Rambo."

"My name's not Alex! It's Randall!" Randall growled out. "I'm Randall Boggs."

Rambo's eyes lit up. That name did ring a bell, but from where? Now he realized that the bump on the head must have awoken Alex to his true self, but it had taken so long.

"You work with me here in this mechanic shop. This is only your fifth day. It might be dangerous if you mention that name around here." Rambo said.

"I am who I am."

"Wait, let me explain everything, uh, Randall. I'm your friend. There's something you need to know about. It's almost time to get off. I'll take you to my home and it will all be explained."
