Prompt #15 Mistaken Identity
Mistaken Identity
Mistaken identity? Well we won’t talk about that undercover gig. Nah that's too obvious. You know how often I wanted to be mistaken for somebody else? Well as a kid it was a lot. Everywhere I went I was my father's son. I didn’t want to be my father’s son my father was a loser and everybody knew it. Everybody thought I was going to be the same. I think I became a cop to prove them wrong. Of course now people think they know I’m the cop with the flashy clothes and the nice car.
I’m not just that though. I remember the first thing Fraser ever said to me 'Detective Armani' like that was my name. It was a nickname; everybody in the building called me that. It was fine I had the clothes and the car and the attitude and I’d never have to worry about anyone knowing who I really was. Until Fraser.
It was weird he mistook for me for Detective Armani the first time we met but after that he knew Ray Vecchio. Hell he knew Ray Vecchio before we'd even made it back to my desk. I couldn’t fool him into mistaking me for someone else. The really weird thing was I didn’t want o. He’s the first person other than my mother who hasn’t mistaken me for a flash guy with a big mouth who only care about number one. That’s the irony I act like the guy my father was only with better clothes. I live up to the identity everybody mistook me for, my father’s son.
But I'm more than that and Fraser knows that. He doesn’t mistake me for my father’s son. I’m Detective (and a good detective) Ray Vecchio with him. I figure some people will always think I’m my father’s son but at least someone out there sees I'm more than that.
