Frank's Search Begins

My name is Franklin Sean Forbes. My mother is Eileen Forbes Lam, heiress to the Forbes family estate. She tells me I am the heir of the estate. But I don't know if I want to be the heir. Before I can decide that, I need to find out who my father is.

My mom loves guys. She makes no secret of it, even though it bothered me and my half-brothers. I like my brothers, but sometimes I'm jealous of them because they know who their dad is. They live with him, they have a relationship with him. I have no clue where I came from. I need to know that about myself.

I recently moved from my mom's house - I can't seem to think of it as mine - and I'm attending college at Academie La Tour, the same college my mom and all my relatives have attended. The family has a house here. It's kept up by various college students over time so that it's not neglected. This year, though, the house sitter has left for the semester, so it's just me and my half-brothers, Greg and Henry, living here.

I decided to start the search for my father here on campus. My mom was a recent graduate when she became pregnant with me, so I thought that I may get some answers while here.

I started with one of my professors. She remembered Mom, but wasn't sure who she was dating while in college. "Although you do look very familiar to me," she told me.



I also spoke to Goopy Boyle. He's a few years older than me and is a 2nd year senior here at Academie La Tour. He makes money as the mascot for the school team. He dated my mom for a while when I was a kid. Yep, my mom dated a guy only a few years older than me. How sad is that? I asked him if he knew anything about who may possibly be my dad, but I think he was confused.

"Your dad? Dude, I'm like only 4 years older than you!"

"No, Goopy. Do you remember Eileen, my mom? Do you know who she may have dated before I was born? Did she ever mention anyone in particular?"

"Yeah, man, I remember Eileen. She's hot!"

"Goopy, that's my mom."

"Oh, right, Dude. Let's see, I know she dated a bunch of guys, we weren't exclusive, ya know. But ya know, kid, you were about 14 or so when I dated your mom, so I don't think I can tell you anything, really."

"Okay, thanks Goopy."

"But you do look kinda familiar. Let me think it over and get back to you."



So the Professor and Goopy both think I look familiar? I wonder why? My dad must be someone at the college then, since 2 people at the college think I look similar to someone.

Mom did give me a list after I asked her to. She didn't really want to, but her therapist said it may do her some good to face all the men she'd been with. I think I have the list narrowed down to 5 men -

Castor Nova



Serdar Ng



Dominique Lam



Jake Grundstrom



Professer Andrew McGaw



and Armando Johnson, her old roommate.



Dominique is the guy she just married. They were college sweethearts, but I don't think he's my dad. I'll talk to him anyway, then I need to track down the rest and speak to them.
