The Bond Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 756

Herman strolled into the local police station, pulling out his driver's license. He was on a mission to uncover his history—places he'd been, schools he'd attended, or any past mishaps. While he knew he wouldn't get the whole story, he hoped to unearth the most vital details.

The station was bustling, as it was the main hub for the area. Herman found his place in line and waited patiently. It was almost lunchtime by the time his turn came up.

Approaching the officer, he explained, "I recently had a car accident and lost my memory. I'm hoping you can help me find my family."

Herman carried himself with an innate elegance and authority, a charisma that was hard to ignore. Plus, his looks were striking.

The young officer, a rookie, was nearly entranced by him. She nodded sympathetically, "Don't worry, sir. We're here to help. Just hand over your ID, and I'll look it up for you."

Herman passed his driver's license to her, and she logged into the system.

His ID listed the name George, and sure enough, George's profile popped up on her screen. The photo was from years back, capturing a younger, fresher version of George.

His features bore a strong resemblance to Herman, though time had altered them slightly. Herman's sharp outfit and deep-set features gave him an energetic presence, which the officer chalked up to the magic of good styling.

Herman, a bit anxious, asked, "Can you check where I went to school, if I'm married, or if I have any family?"

The officer responded, "It says you live in Willowbrook, in the Maplewood district..."

The address matched the ID. She mentioned George's father was Nicholas, which lined up with the record.

Herman felt a knot of confusion. Was he truly George?

"Absolutely, he spoke to me directly," the officer confirmed.

Inside, Herman felt a storm brewing. George had been missing for over a year, and yet Nicholas hadn't found him two months ago. But Sandy and Nicholas had told him he'd been on a trip to Springfield with Sandy when the accident happened after an argument.

The timeline didn't add up. Nicholas had checked with the police just days before Herman's car accident.

There was only one possible conclusion: he wasn't George.

Feeling a surge of emotion, Herman requested, "Could you check my details again, using facial recognition or fingerprints, not just the ID?"

The young officer, sensing his urgency, agreed, "Alright, let me switch to a different system. Follow the instructions and provide your fingerprint when prompted."
