A spider on the back.”
A man peeked in the door. “Mr.President, they’re ready for you outside.”
KC gasped when she saw the man’s face. “It’s the clone!”
The president smiled. “Yes, I interviewed him when Dr. Jenks was arrested. My clone is really a nice guy. He never understood what Dr. Jenks was up to. I’ve decided to keep him on my staff.”
“But won’t everyone get confused?” KC asked.
The president winked. “That might be fun,” he said. “I’ve always wanted to have a twin.”
He beckoned to the man standing by the door. “By the way,” he said to KC and Marshall, “we’ve given him a special name.”
The clone walked over. He proudly showed the kids his name tag. It said, MR. CASEY MARSHALL.
“Wow!” KC said. “We have a clone named after us, Marsh!”
Casey Marshall smiled. “I’ll tell them you’ll be out in a minute, sir.” He left and closed the door behind him.
Marshall dug a paper from his pocket. He held it out to the president.
“You said you’d give me your autograph, Mr. President.”
The president took the paper. “You’re right, I did promise.”
He walked to his desk, picked up a pen, and signed “Zachary Thornton.”
With his left hand.
