Luke awoke from his vivid dream with a new sense of clarity. After talking Ella's illusion, all of the memories that he had pushed away had come rushing back to him like a tidal wave. The influx of feelings that accompanied them left him drenched in guilt and grief for what had happened. As he sat there with his eyes closed, trying to piece together his dreams, he began to think about what Ella had told him in the fog. Why did she want him to help out some random kid? And how would he even know where to find him? But more importantly who was he? What was so important about helping this little boy that his body had chosen him as one of the possible answers to his troubles? All these questions raced through his head as he struggled to understand the meaning of such events. His thoughts were interrupted though by the sound of his cell phone ringing. "Hello?" Luke answered with concern as he looked down at the time displayed on his phone, 6:30 AM. Who could possibly be calling him so e
Luke jumped to his feet after the realization hit him. "This must be why he is so important! If this kid is as good as this article claims him to be, then maybe I can use him to do something about whatever those bastards put in my body. If I can stop them from controlling my body like before, then maybe I can save Ella without having to kill Caroline after all." Luke muttered to himself as he continued to read through the article, looking for more information on the boy. After reading through many different articles related to the boy's life and disappearance, he was unable to find any more relevant information aside from what he had already known. As far as the public knew, the boy had simply vanished without a trace shortly after being discovered by the police but Luke knew better. He had actually seen him. He just needed to remember where. But that would have to wait. The clock had almost struck 12 and he was going to be late for his meetup. With a panicked expression, Luke quic
With the orphanage in mind, Luke and Caroline set off in his car with high hopes of finding what they were looking for. After driving around for a short while, The Wright County Orphanage is within their sights. With little effort, Luke was able to pull into a parking space near the entrance and quickly shut down his car. As the engine dies down, Caroline and Luke look upwards towards the recently renovated building that once was a sad, neglected mess. Now it was a clean and vibrant place that reminded Caroline of her childhood. It had been completely redone and given new life. It looked like his sponsorship wasn't wasted after all. It was a beautiful place now instead of a cluttered dump. With a smile, Luke and Caroline begin walking towards the smooth cement walkway leading them inside as the door opens automatically when they approach it. "Hmm, She must have had some automatic doors installed. Classy." Luke mused as he looked over at Caroline. "Why do you look so happy about th
"Hey lovebirds. I believe that Beth is just finishing up with her other couple. You two can get ready to head inside next." the receptionist called out to Luke and Caroline with a wide smile. "Hey! We are not love birds. I am strictly here on business. Caroline protested while standing up from the chair and facing the young man by his desk. The man backs up with his hands up to his side in defense. "Whoa. There's no need to be so shy. Why else would a man and woman visit an orphanage together? Plus, you were talking so intimately earlier that anyone could tell you were together." Luke felt Caroline's glare burning holes through the man's soul as she spoke in anger. "If you even dare to say that we were Intimate again, You'd better run fast and far away." Caroline threatened the man as she leaned in close to his face. Her breath was hot against his ear and sent chills down his spine. Her voice sounded as if she was ready to kill him and Luke couldn't blame her either. The thought o
"It's not what you're thinking Beth. I'm not cheating on Ella. That is not my style and its not going to happen any time soon." Luke responds nervously while scratching his cheek while trying to avoid Beth's gaze. "So you don't plan on doing it anytime soon? So in the future you plan on doing it later?" Beth asks with a knowing smile on her lips as she stares at him intently. "Look! I'm not lying to you!" Luke protests in desperation while pointing a finger towards Caroline. This is my cousin!" "Love comes in all shapes and sizes, huh?" Beth replies nonchalantly while looking towards Caroline. She was too busy laughing to herself instead of trying to clear up the confusion. "Come on, don't you remember her, Beth. She was the girl who was with Ella when they were younger." Luke says trying, desperately to jog her memory. "Hahaha, calm down Luke. I'm just messing with you a little. Did you think my memory was really that bad." Beth laughed while wiping tears from her eyes and tryi
*Ahem* So anyways. I have another question for you, Jeremy. Can I assume that you are really Wire?" Luke asks the young boy while watching him intently. Jeremy remains silent for a moment before answering him in a cold tone, "Yes, I am Wire. But how do you know that?" Luke smiles and chuckles before replying "Well that's simple. Because I read that article about you last week." Luke answers jokingly. "I don't know if I should be impressed with you or embarrassed for the press. They've been looking all over for me and still haven't found this place. But what does it matter if I'm Wire or not. I'm not particularly interested in the hacking scene anymore." "It matters because we need your help. There is an incident going on right now that is very dangerous and you're my best bet in putting a stop to it." Luke tells him with determination in his voice as he leans closer to him. Jeremy rolls his eyes and shakes his head before replying sarcastically, "Why would I want to help you. You
Luke and Caroline spend most of their day searching around the city for parts needed for Jeremy. By the time they had managed to gather everything on his list, they both looked worn out. They arrive back at the orphanage exhausted and sweaty before they finally collapse onto the sofa, barely managing to keep their eyes open as they hand off the goods to the young hacker. "Whoa, I didn't think you guys would be able to find even half of the stuff on your list by the end of the day but look at this haul. It's kind of impressive." Jeremy comments with disbelief as he stares at the pile of things in front of him. He was amazed at how much stuff they managed to find for him so quickly. "Yeah, you better be impressed. Because it cost us quite a lot." Caroline responds as she leans back against the couch with her head resting on the backrest of the seat. "So is this enough for you to get started? I'd rather get this ball rolling as soon as possible. Even if my legs feel like noodles righ
The sun fell behind the horizon as night arrived, bringing with it the end of a long day. After spending almost a whole day acting as a moving company, They had managed to successfully bring everything that was asked for, allowing Jeremy to begin setting up his work station. The massive pile of messy electronics had turned into an orderly and impressive looking setup which looked similar to something you would see in some sci-fi movie. Jeremy sat on top of the workstation's large stool while staring intently at the screen. With his monitor open in front of him, His fingers danced across the keys, typing away and entering commands into the console faster than Luke could see. The screen displayed several lines of text scrolling by at a rapid pace, each one containing a different set of instructions or code that the software ran through. "Wow... This is so cool." Luke whispers reverently under his breath as he watches the young boy work. His eyes were solely focused on the bright scr
