"State your name and business."

The security guard is curt and suspicious. I pull myself to my full height. "My name is ..."

And I pause.

What is my name?

I don't rightfully know.

I have many aliases, Hiram Hackenbacker and Homer Newton III among them. Each as nerdish a name as anyone could devise. My birth name is lost forever. My adopted name has never felt like my own.

The only name that truly fits is what the Tracys call me: Brains.

However, that won't work now. I pull out my identification and show it.

"Hiram Hackenbacker, special projects director."
