Please let me know what you think about this.I'm unsure whether or not to continue with the references to Nick's father.Your input could help.

Jake Simpson was looking out of the window,when Rachel Corrigan and a young man that Jake didn't recognize entered.The man had the look of a soldier about him.While Jake hadn't been in any kind of military service,he had known a soldier,who had made quite an impression.That man had looked at Jake exactly like this man was looking at him now.Turning his attention to the other visitor,he noticed that Rachel had her 'doctor' face on,so he braced himself.
"Hello Scott",Rachel greeted.Jake let that one slide.He was sick of telling people who he was.They didn't believe him.'But then',he thought bitterly,'Would I in their position?'.He did look like Scott Young,or at least that's who they told him he was.All he knew,was that this was the first person he had been able to come into contact with since his death.And that was good enough for him.He noticed the soldier watching him.Rachel did too,so she said,"Scott,I'd like to introduce you to a friend of mine.Nick Boyle,this is Scott Young".She looked at Nick,who stepped forward and offered his hand.
As they shook,Jake could feel Nick sizing him up.When he didn't immediatly look at Jake like he was crazy,Jake felt a brief glimmer of hope.
'My God',he thought,'This guy might believe me'.
Jake wasn't stupid.He didn't know why Doctor Corrigan would consult this guy,but he knew that he must be aware of who Jake was claiming to be.It occured to him that this guy,this Nick Boyle as Rachel had introduced him,might be Legacy.And that thought did a lot to bouy his spirits.
"Hello Mr Boyle",Jake said.
"Hey",Nick replied back.Nick didn't know what he had expected,but this guy wasn't it.He was around Nick's age,and he looked...well,normal.Not like a guy who had been possessed.'But then',he thought,'What does a guy who's been possessed look like,exactly?'.
Pulling his mind back to the present,he almost missed the next comment that was directed at him.
"You ever been in the military?".The question was asked by Jake,who had already guessed at the answer,but wanted to know if this guy would be straight with him.
"You could say that,I used to be in the Navy".Nick didn't look like he was going to offer any other information on the subject,so Jake let it drop.A thought then occured to Nick.
"Why do you ask?",Nick questioned,curious as to what might have made him say something like that out of the blue.
"I used to know a soldier named Boyle,way back.We weren't bossom buds or anything,we were in the same business,and I just thought I'd ask.I mean,what a coincidence,right?".Jake had said the last part with a smile,which disappeared at the strange look that he saw passed between Nick and Rachel.He couldn't understand why they would react like that to the name of a guy he had known almost fifteen years ago.
Nick looked at Rachel,and knew what she was thinking.He'd known that if this guy was for real,there was a chance he might have known his father.A remote chance,but it was there all the same.During the days Robert Boyle had served in the Legacy,the Houses were in almost constant contact,so it was possible that even though he was with another house,Jake Simpson might have known his father.Seeing the look that was being directed his way,he quickly adopted a blank face and asked,"Really,what was his first name?".He was hoping that the name said was one that he wouldn't recognize,that it was a coincidence.This case was shaping up to be difficult as it was,he didn't need this complication.Jake looked at Nick strangely,but answered,
"His name was Robert Boyle,why?"
Now Jake was curious.
Nick exchanged another look with Rachel and said,"Just wondering".
Jake couldn't tell what was going on with those two,but he decided to let it go.He didn't know if this guy was Legacy or not,but a very large part of him hoped to God that he was.Maybe then he could get out of here,and complete the job he had come back to do.Nick knew that this was one more thing that pointed to the possibility that this guy really was telling the truth.Not wanting to continue with a potentially sticky subject,he quickly changed tact.
"So",Nick said."Rachel said that maybe I could help you".
Jake looked at him.'Oh well',he thought,'Now we're getting somewhere.Here goes nothing'.
"What makes you think you could help me?"
Nick looked at Rachel."Well,I work for the Luna Foundation,and we do research in to,shall we say,strange phenomenon,like the claims you made".
'Yes',Jake thought,'He does work for the Legacy,I knew it'.Fighting a smile,he replied,"What do you want to talk about?".Nick paused for a second,then continued.
"Why don't we start with the claims you made?".Nick sat down in a chair facing him,and waited for his reply.
