Then the wizard told Jim that he wasn't just his friend Rick, but also his older brother Rick Baraka as well.
"Wait, what? How could that be? Rick, I mean my friend Rick ... he's white, and my brother is black. How can both of them be the same person? I mean, how can both of them be you?"
"Magic," Rick the wizard answered simply. He paused, then said "Have you not noticed how your friend Rick and your brother Rick were never in the same place at the same time?"
Jim hadn't, but now that he thought about it, the wizard was right. How had he missed that? Maybe he just didn't think anything of it at the time. After all, why would he ever suspect that his best friend was also his brother? That was just ludicrous, right?
"Hold on a moment," Jim said. "If you were both Ricks ... were you also anyone else?"
