One cold day of December 2032, Georges Simon, a 32 years old British man was driving in a narrow and dark alley of London, the city where he lived with his wife and their son. Georges was a Biology teachers and really liked his job. In fact, he was very interested in Biology and especially Genetics since his childhood. When he was a child, Georges lived with his parents who never gave him any brother or sister. Thus, he was quite lonely during his childhood and the only hobby that could really prevent him from annoying was reading Sci-Fi stories often dealing with advanced scientific progress in Genetics that was changing the society. That day, Georges was wearing his usual black suit, elegant and immaculate as always, that highlights his blond-haired, blue-eyed face. Georges' sorrowful appearance was even more noticeable than usual and his tall and thin body fitted nicely his personality. Indeed Georges was a taciturn but very clever person, even so, his suspicious mind was by far the most interesting thing about him. Trusting other persons was so hard for him that one day, he secretly put a small camera on his son's bag to control what she was doing during the day and check if she wasn't doing things she wasn't allowed to. That day, Georges had got a really bad feeling, something that he couldn't explain, he suspected something bad was going to happen.
Georges was going to visit his parents. Lisa Simon was a mother at home. She didn't work and was 54 years old. She had blue eyes and blond hair. She was a sociable and talkative person because she had a good education from her parents. She liked sports and also music. But what she really loved was Chemistry and Genetics. This was the reason why she loved her husband, Jack Simon, and cared about him. He was a researcher in Genetics and was pretty crazy. He was 56 years old, tall and smart. He had brown eyes and black hair and he was always wearing glasses. He was a nervous person, meaning he could easily change his mood for about nothing. All of a sudden, he saw the house of his parents and in front of it three police cars. Georges got afraid because he remembered the bad feeling he just had and understood that something happened to his parents.
Georges entered the house, and told the first policeman he saw that this was his parents' house, then he asked if him why the police was here, hopping the answer would relieve him. Unfortunately, replied : “I am sorry, your father has just been murdered”. A very painful feeling passed through Georges whole body and two small tears appeared in each on his eyes. The police didn't let Georges understand clearly what happened and quickly asked him to follow them to the police station because they had to interrogate him. At the police station, Georges was asked many questions and the police took his DNA to compare it to the murderer one that was found on crime scene. Few time later, they got the results : both DNA perfectly matched ! Georges got very surprised of that and did not understand at all how his DNA could have been found on the crime scene. Indeed, he knew he wasn't the murderer. Pending other evidences, the police put him in custody. Georges started to think about all what happened in order to clarify the situation in his mind. Finally, he quickly remembered something very disturbing his mother told him about two years ago...
According to her, Jack, the father, decided to conduct an experiment that would help him in his research about Genetics : he attempted to create a second son who would the perfect clone of Georges, when the little boy was only 3 years old. In spite of Lisa Simon disagreement, he complete his experiment but the result wasn't as perfect as he expected. Indeed, Georges' clone, whose name became Robert, had two lightly green eyes instead of Georges' blue ones. Moreover, his nose was quite different from his brothers'. The father concluded the experiment was a failure and decided to put Robert up for adoption because he was only a bad copy of Georges. Lisa Simon who felt very concerned with Robert's life decided to secretly to keep in touch with him. Thus Robert Landonovan grew up with a strong detestation of this father that had abandoned him, and he was also jealous of his brother was supposed to be a perfect genetic mold for Robert.
Georges understood that Robert was probably the one who had killed his father and had put genetic evidences to accuse Georges of the murder, taking advantage of the DNA he shared with his brother to accomplish his revenge. But he didn't give up and decided to look for evidences that could prove to the police that Robert had killed Jack Simon. He decided to call his mother on phone and ask her to tell the whole story about Robert to the police. Besides, he also phoned his friend Marie and asked her to seduce the inspector in charge of the investigation so he would accept to consider Robert as a suspect and investigate on his case, especially carrying out DNA tests to confirm the story of the mother and to involve seriously Robert in the murder. Subsequently, the police found other evidences in the apartment that proved definitely Robert's culpability, but also the fact that Georges was in Manchester just before he went to his parents' house so he couldn't have committed the murder. After these findings, the police launched a wanted notice against the murderer and, after a chase, Robert died because of an accident with a truck. The truth finally broke and Georges was cleared and released.
Today, Georges still lives with his wife, his mother and his son in London. The father and Robert were buried but this extraordinary murder case stays in everybody's mind forever.
