Narrative:

Air carrier X was en route ama ALS jnc tracked target at FL350 (code XX31) I received a manual handoff from ZKC on code XX31 east of gck. Told radar controller handoff code XX31 don't know call sign. Radar controller tracked target using XX31 code. Air carrier X tracked on XX31 code east of gck. I told right controller 'no that's not the call sign' r-side cancelled track and waited for correct aircraft to call to start track. Air carrier X went untracked, entered sector 24 airspace west/O handoff or coordination. It was discovered by the sector 24 controller when there was a mode C intruder at FL350 in his airspace.
