Telling Histories

Soon their random conversation turned into knowing all the adventures they had ever encountered during their job. Because how often do you encounter someone who had been in your profession, so Michael didn’t want to lose any chance to gain some experience from him while he stood there with him. He was inquisitive about knowing the town he had served in. But Matthew’s reply to this question was enough to shake him from within. What answer might have he given that made such an impact on Michael?

Similarities

Matthew told him the city’s name he used to patrol and surprisingly it was the same city where Michael was born and his mom still resided there. So it might be possible that he had seen him when he was a kid. Was there some unknown connection between the two or was it just an illusion?

Doubts

He knew certain cops from his hometown but he had not seen Matthew before. He experienced an epiphany and hesitantly asked about the retired policeman’s age. At first, it would be awkward for anyone to answer that question to a stranger especially when the other person is older. But why did he asked such a question, what was going inside his mind?

Information

The policeman politely told him his age. His doubts were increasing with every information that he was giving. He might not remember him but he was sure that he had a connection with him. But how he would find out and did his doubts have any significance or was he mistaken?

Finding Out

When Michael had asked his age, Matthew too enquired about how old he was. When he told the senior cop that he was born in 1991 in the city of Piscataway, Matthew’s mind was numb for a moment. Several thoughts were running inside his mind, he had a connection with that city but was that possible there would be a connection between the two?

Curiosity

The level of Matthew’s curiosity was increasing as Michael told more about his childhood. Matthew had given him all his ears. What was in his childhood that had made him forgot all his work and stand there like a statue? Michael told him that he was born on 5 October 1991 and Matthew was stunned. He somehow managed to ask him on which street he was born.
