Sitting on his comfortable chair, enjoying his day off, Theodore looked over the things he collected during his misadventures with Lila.

Namely, the coin from the disavowed professor and the medical journal from Abbey.

The intrigue from them too strong for Theodore that he needed to set aside time out of his few day-offs to ponder about them as his fur friends take their naps in his bedrooms after gorging on their lunch.

Cogs in his head turning as he's looking through the medical journal, Al hadn't found anything conclusive, Paul's shorthand and slang's difficult pinpointing, since they don't have anything else written by Paul to further get an idea.

Whatever he learnt, it dealt with a process that certainly wasn't possible for the time. Nobody could've known this, it'd be science fiction to anyone who read the original, surely.

It's difficult, but the fact that a man resurrected a woman with only implanting her heart into another's the part that's boggling Theodore's poor mind as he's trying to read through the pages.

Scientifically improbable for such a thing to happen, it's ludicrous, and something you'd find in a science fiction movie.

Another thing boggling his poor mind's the fact that Abbey lived for over a thousand years and didn't look like a mummy for her trouble.

This whole thing's driving his poor brain into overdrive and he checked every corner for anything that would've helped him solving the bizarre case.

Everything he learnt from Abbey didn't help much, but it's expected, she couldn't know everything about the man.

The university's checked out, none of the professors could've taught him anything like this, and if Paul was learning this, he learnt it on the side, considering his desires, no doubt he didn't share this with anyone, as Abbey theorized.

Whoever Paul went to for tutoring, tutored him under the table, Al found scraps of banking transactions where Paul wired money to someone regularly.

Not someone in the family, not someone in the hospital, all the medical equipment he bought came from him physically withdrawing money.

The identity of the person receiving the money, remained a mystery, as Al thinks it's someone who didn't want their identity exposed.

Back-alley tutoring, he thinks, which due to the radical teaching given.

Nothing conclusive, unfortunately.

The thought of going back in the past and finding out came to mind numerous times, but Al talked him out of it, considering the dangers of going someplace he isn't "needed."

So, that remains a bust.

The coin side of things, still wracking his brain on it.

It's not a coin from any period of history, too unique that the coin and the set given to Professor Stanford was made to order.

Just doesn't make sense nor where the trustee who gave them to Professor Stanford went.

His identity remained unknown, too, nobody jumped out with the unique last name "al Jinn."

Al tried numerous times over the course of their adventures, but came into roadblocks.

Whoever the trustee was, he's careful about his public appearances, didn't let his name get out so easily, and pictures of him, well, that's another story.

Only picture's the one in the newspaper, flash, and all, he didn't like photography it'd seem.

Going through names, Al couldn't find anyone with the last name, not even an accurate appearance, it's making Theodore think the man never existed.
