"So, you know how Nurse Stacey said something about everyone having birth records?" James asks.

"Yeah, what about it?" I say.

"Well, I was thinking that we maybe, you know, sneak in to the hospital office, and take a peek at there records?" James says.

"You want to know your real name don't you?" I ask.

"Yes." James responds.

"James, I've already been in enough trouble with Nick and being a terrorist, why should I go with you?" I say.

"Your kidding right?" James says.

"Of course. When do you want to go?" I ask.

"I was thinking, lunch time? Because everyone, including the employees, all gather in the cafeteria to eat, think about it, no ones going to be in the office, it's the perfect time to go!" He says.

"When is, lunch time?" I ask.

"1:30." He says.

"So, let's go at 1:30 then!" I say.

"Okay, it's a deal!" James says.

Ding ding ding!

"Hey James isn't that the lunch bell?" I ask.

Me and James are hiding in the first stall of the girls washroom. Only because it's right across from the main office. We will easily be able to sneak in.

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure it is!" James says.

"Just to make sure, I'm gonna check the office to make sure everyone's gone." I say.

"Okay Kali, don't be long." James says.

"Don't worry, I won't." I say.

I slowly walk out of the bathroom, I can't see anyone in any direction I look. Everyone is probably on the cafeteria. So I walk back into the washroom and signal for James to follow me, we easily sneak into the office, as I suspected.

"Now, where would they keep those birth records of theirs." I ask.

"In a computer genius!" James says.

"Oh, well, umm, what about that fat one." I suggest.

"Good idea Kali." James says.

James walks over to the computer and pushes a big red button, the computer turns on, but it's password protected. James punches in a few words, numbers, and some random icons I don't know, but somehow, that gets him in.

"How'd you do that James?" I ask.

"I have no idea, it's like my body just did it all by itself." He says.

"Well, it worked. Now, do you think you can get in to their birth records?" I ask.

"I don't think that will be a problem." James says. He clicks a few buttons and gets into the birth records.

"James, you don't even know what your name was, I mean, what are you going to do? Scroll down and till you find yourself?" I ask.

"Yes, that's exactly what I'm going to do." He says.

At the top of the screen it says, Manitoba National Birth Records, so, it must mean this has birth records of everyone born in Manitoba. James scrolls down for about five minutes until he finds a kid that looks like him. He clicks on it, it says, Full name: Finn Girdle. Date of birth: January 19th, 2025. MIA since February 2038. No, wait, February 2038! That's when I ran away, in other words, MIA. Just like James.........er..........Finn.

"James?" I ask.

"Do you mean Finn?" He jokes.

"Yeah, umm, Finn?" I ask.

"Yes?" Finn says.

"That's when I ran away, February 2038. I think, maybe, just maybe, we ran away together." I say.

"What? How's that possible?" Finn asks.

"Think about it, we were both MIA in the same month." I say.

Finn doesn't respond, so I just keep reading. Mother, Cassia Girdle, Father, Zachary Girdle. Then I hear a loud.....

Bang! It's a gunshot, then a man dressed in black walks in. I hear another loud.....

Bang! He hits the window of the office.

Thanks for reading. Please comment/vote. And comment who you think the man dressed in black is!
