We both know that these tests are necessary. If nothing else, they'll tell us whether I'm actually a twin of the other man standing next to Fred or whether I'm...something else.
"I take you want a blood sample," I say. "I'll go first."
Fred looks at the other Wesley then pulls out her supplies and gets two needles ready. Sitting down in the clinical area of the lab, I hold my arm out so she can draw a sample. The blood looks like normal human blood, which is somewhat of a relief though I know that it won't mean a jot until she actually runs her DNA tests.
When she's finished, I stand up, holding the piece of cotton she's handed me over the small puncture wound. I glance over at the mirror experiment again and suddenly have a need to get out of there.
"If you don't mind, I need to...I have a feeling that I'll simply be a third wheel in your research. I won't be able to add anything he won't think of, so I think...I'm going to go to my--your--our office." I can tell this isn't setting well, so I assure them that I have no intention of disappearing on them. Not really anywhere I can go at the moment anyway.
Leaving them to get on with it, I head out of the lab.
