Jack
He was walking down the street when she accosted him.
"Why did you run away?"
He stared blankly. She was poorly dressed, maybe even homeless.
"You never called. You just abandoned me. I just got outta jail a week ago."
He tried to look appropriately contrite. He failed.
“Honey, they took away our baby. You gotta help me get her back.”
Finally, fearing she would not allow him to pass, he said, “I’m sorry, but I am sure we’ve never met.”
“How can you say that to me, Jack?”
“You see, there’s been a mistake. Jack is my twin brother.”
