Fifty eight years later, on Mark's sixtieth birthday, his lifelong friend, Jeff Osment, whom he had known since Cub Scouts, presented Mark with his lost family history. Jeff had spent nine months secretly tracing the Constantine family tree, looking for information that might uncover the whereabouts of Mark's father and whether he was still alive.
