The Lost Jackson

{Chapter 6}

Asher's POV:

"Will you be willing to take a DNA test to see if you are Atticus Blain Jackson?" Lucas asked me. I have no idea how to answer that. It's not like I have ever been abused or anything so I don't think they kidnapped me, but there is something inside of me that's saying if so many people, including government people. Believe I am Michael Jackson's stolen son then maybe there is something to what they are saying. What could it hurt, right? "Okay, I'll do it." I say after thinking for a moment. Lucas and Matt smile at my answer before Lucas speaks, "What time will you be able to do it, without your parents knowing would be best?" "That won't be hard to get around them. My parents have been ignoring me since the morning of the news cast." I tell the men sitting in front of me. They both get a weird look on their faces at my statement but soon moved past it. "We can go now if you are good with that? Then have you back before school ends." Lucas says. I look over at the principal with a look of asking him if that would be okay. All he did was nod his head yes to my questioning look. I turned back to Lucas, "Okay, but can I text one person to just tell them where I'm going to be, just so someone knows where I'm going?" Lucas says I can so I sent a text to Landon, one of the twins, saying, 'People looking for Michael Jackson's son are here. They are asking me to go with them to get my DNA tested. Their names are Lucas and Matt. Tell the other guys.' I texted. "Okay, I'm ready to go." I say while standing up.

The three of us walk out of the school and they lead me to their car. We got in and Lucas drove to the police station. When we arrived, we walked in and Lucas said he was going to get someone from the lab so they can take my DNA. Matt lead me into another room that had some more men in it. When we walked into the room everyone stopped what they were doing and starred at me with their jaws basically on the floor. It was making me a little uncomfortable so I chose to look around the room instead of at the people in the room. A lot of things were around the room that I didn't look at twice but one thing, or rather three thinks, caught my attention. There were three pictures hung up side by side on a board. One was of a newborn baby, next to the baby was a picture of someone my age made by a computer that looks like it might be the baby grown up. Last was a picture of me from a few days ago, I could tell by the clothes. The pictures of me and the boy that looked like me only held my attention for a minute. What held my attention for the longest time was the baby picture. I had seen baby pictures of myself so I know what I looked like, I knew right away that the baby in the picture was me. I took the picture down and held it in my hands, just starring at it. Before now I thought that it couldn't be true, there was no way I was kidnapped, but looking at the picture in my hands I knew it was true. I couldn't deny it anymore.

I don't know how long I was staring at the baby picture but my attention was pulled when someone put their hand on my shoulder, that someone was Lucas. "That's the last picture ever taken of Atticus." Lucas said while we looked down at the picture together. I turned my head away from the picture and looked up at Lucas, the tears that had built up in my eyes are now rolling down my cheeks, "It's me." My voice cracked while saying.

3rd Person POV:

Lucas looked at Asher with a sad smile on his face, "I think it is. I got someone from the lab to come get your DNA." Asher nodded his head in a way to tell Lucas he was ready. Lucas waved a woman over. "Hey honey. This is just going to be really quick since all I need from you is a cheek swab." The lady said in a soft voice with a small smile on her face. Hearing that relieved Asher since he doesn't like needles. Asher give her a smile back and open his mouth when she gets the swab out of the plastic. She does it quickly and puts it in a small tube before saying her goodbyes. "Okay, that was all we needed from you for right now. We should get the results in by tomorrow since I told them to put a rush on it. Are you okay with me getting you from school tomorrow to bring you here to tell you the results?" Lucas asked. Not being able to form words still, Asher just nodded his head yes that it's okay. After that Lucas drove Asher back to school and told him that he should act like normal because they don't want Asher's parents to be suspicious. He also told Asher that he will be following him around just to make sure that nothing happens to him between now and tomorrow. Asher agreed with what Lucas said and they said their goodbyes before Asher went inside the school and back to his classes as well as friends.

Atticus told his friends what happened while he was gone and what will happen tomorrow. After school Asher and his friends got the skateboards they keep in their lockers and took off to the skatepark knowing of the black car following them was Lucas.
