The Abandoned Son's Rehabilitation Criminal
With a growl, Luke slammed his palm against the steering wheel. He would need to think of a new plan if he wouldn't be able to track down Marilyn. Looking to his side and giving himself some time to think, He realized that things weren't so bad after all. He may not be able to use his original plan but an alternative idea had introduced itself to him. The loaded firearm resting beside him in his passenger seat caught his attention as if it was calling out to him. If he couldn't do things quietly, It wouldn't be too bad to have a weapon nearby to fall back on. But he was only going to use this gun as a last resort. He still had some time to put together a more refined plan, and hopefully a more effective one. Entering into his home, Luke first needed to do something about his bullet wound before he could properly consider anything else. It didn't look like it was anything too serious but it wasn't going to be comfortable walking around with a bullet lodged in his shoulder for long pe
The Abandoned Son's Rehabilitation Assisting The Investigation
"Ella? Luke said in confusion. "Why does that name sound so familiar?" Thinking about it made his head hurt. He could tell that it must have been someone important but he couldn't quite recall why. Although he wasn't sure who she was, He couldn't shake the feeling that there was something familiar about her. He felt as though she and him were connected by some unseen force. As he tried desperately to remember who she was, Images of a tall blonde woman flashed within his mind with blue eyes and soft features. Her hair flowed around her shoulders as her long legs were revealed by her short skirt. She had a beautiful figure, and yet her face lacked any features. Luke felt drawn to her as if there was some sort of magnetic attraction between them but he couldn't understand why. He felt like he was supposed to know this woman somehow but nothing seemed to click into place for him. "I'm sorry Ella. I just can't seem to place you." Luke shook his head and sighed before leaning forward o
The Abandoned Son's Rehabilitation Clarity
Luke sat alone in his room as he thought over everything that had transpired recently. He had no idea how he managed to fool the police officer so easily, but he was glad that he could get away without getting caught up in any of this madness. Although he still had a few questions of his own about the oddities within his home. So many items that he had never used before were scattered around his apartment that it left him questioning their origin and purpose. Most of the items had been neatly tucked away into drawers and closets as if they had been placed there by someone who lived in the home. To make things weirder, Each item gave him a sense of familiarity. Despite not knowing why, he couldn't bring himself to throw out the useless belongings from his house. He knew it wasn't wise to keep so many things around that were unnecessary, especially Items that clearly didn't belong to him, but there was something about those items that kept him from giving them up even if they seemed p
The Abandoned Son's Rehabilitation Held Captive
[Ella] "Good morning sleepyhead, Are you finally awake," A soft voice greeted Ella as she slowly opened his eyes. Her head was killing her and felt as if she had been hit by a truck. Shaking her head, She attempts to raise her hand up to wipe her eyes only to find that he had been restrained to a large steel bed. "Where am I? How long have I been here?" Ella asks herself as she takes in her surroundings for the first time, her mouth hanging open with shock. The last thing she could remember was walking alongside Aria after a day of shopping. Then they were surrounded by a group of men in black before everything started to get hazy. Her head hurt just trying to remember all of the details. She strained her neck as she attempted to get a good look around the room. The room itself was pretty depressing to look at as there was little to nothing to look at. The walls were covered in thick padded steel plating and There was nothing but a large bed that was bolted into the wall directly
The Abandoned Son's Rehabilitation Notorious
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
The Abandoned Son's Rehabilitation Partners
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
The Abandoned Son's Rehabilitation Renovations
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
The Abandoned Son's Rehabilitation Backup
"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

Something Only He Can Do
The passenger side door swings open to reveal A thin passenger with long hair tied up into a ponytail. He was dressed casually in a white collared shirt and black slacks. "Welcome back brother. You made quite the entrance I must say." Jonathan said with a smile from within the vehicle. "So how was your vacation?" Luke looked at his brother with disdain, "What are you doing here!? Why did you have to show up now!?" He growls angrily. "That's a silly question. I'm just here to pick up my brother and his companion." His older brother explained, "why don't you have a seat so that we can catch up. It's about time that we have a talk." Jonathan suggests with a grin while gesturing with his hand out towards the passenger seat. "Don't get your hopes up. I wouldn't ride in the same space as you if you paid me to." Luke retorted coldly. "How about you run on home and wait for me to tear you down, just like I did with Marilyn." Luke tells him with a scowl. "I'm sorry to hear that, but I don

Home Sweet Home
Luke watched on in shame at the mess taking place in front of him. The room was already cluttered as is with the bodies of the guests scattered about, but now Ella and Le were making an even bigger mess of things. And all over a single bottle of liquor. "Haha, your going to have to try harder if you want to catch me." Ella remarked as she kept away from Lee while holding on to the bottle loosely in her hands. "You think you're funny!?" Lee huffed in frustration as he attempted to tackle her but she effortlessly dodged him and quickly disappeared behind the bar. "Ha Ha Ha! Very cute Lee." She taunted him as she tipped the bottle upside down, allowing the liquid to flow down into two glasses. She handed one of them to him with an amused look before downing her own glass in an instant. "Hey! You can't just drink it like that! It's not a shot!" He said while pointing his finger accusingly at her. "Oh yeah? Well I don't have any patience today so I'm going to just drink it however I d

One Last Drink
A week and a half passes and Luke, Ella and Lee are now able to see land. It wouldn't be long now until they were back on solid ground. "Ahhh, Doesn't it just look so nice?" Ella exclaimed joyfully while looking out the transparent plane covering their room. Her eyes were fixated on the land as if it was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. Luke couldn't help but laugh at her enthusiasm, but he also found it somewhat amusing seeing her this way given how much she had been through recently. "When I get back I'm going to take a nice long bath with extra bubbles and candles. Maybe even light some incense while I soak under the starry sky. Then I'll get out and dry off slowly while laying out by a pool somewhere in the desert with an ice cold beer in my hand." Ella continued on with her fantasy. "What about you half-pint? Are you going to go back to your family to tell them what happened? I'm sure that they would want to know how their youngest son almost died on his business tri

Announcement
"So how long do you think it will take before we set foot on solid ground again? I'm starting to get a little nauseous." Ella said while looking down at her stomach. "Not too long I hope." Luke replied while staring ahead at the transparent plane covering the room. It's been a little over a week since we set off, so I would guess that it would take around the same time going back" He told her while scanning through different screens on the walls. "At this rate, my boredom is going to kill me before Jonathan can get the chance. I can only sit here so long without going insane." Luke complained with a groan, as he sat down in one of the seats. "I need something to read, or do... anything would be nice" Luke added as he began scanning around the room for any kind of entertainment that might be lying around. Searching the cluttered floor, Luke spotted a few different magazines that were spread open on the ground. grabbing a few of them, Luke tossed one of them over to Ella as he began

Back On Track
Ella follows Luke as he opens the door leading further ahead inside the ship. Covering their eyes to shield themselves from the sudden increase in brightness, The duo enter into the vessels bridge. The sun is raised high in the sky outside, and the warm air from the heat vents makes itself known throughout the ship, creating a strong contrast against the dimly lit interior of the ship. "This thing looks like it's straight out of the 2000's." Ella mumbled aloud as she followed behind Luke, staring down at the small computer consoles on the wall before them and their array of buttons and dials. Luke turned around and nodded while he scanned through the screens and monitors displayed in front of him on the wall. "I hope this isn't as complicated as it looks." He said as he reached out his hand and pressed a few buttons on the panel in front of him, causing the ship's lights to brighten up. "I guess I know what this does now. Hmmm, Let me check on some things real quick." Luke tells her

It's Not Over
Turning his back to his sister's unmoving form, Luke walked over to where Ella stood and wrapped his arms around her. Holding her close to him as he tried desperately to hold on to what little sanity he had left. He had acted confident in the moment, but had yet to fully realize what he had just done. Once again, he had managed to find his way back to the path that his brother had set for him. He was finally beginning to take control of his life and destiny and yet, once again he found himself on the verge of losing it all. "What is wrong with me?" Luke whispers into Ella's ear while tightening their embrace. His hands shaking as he attempted to calm himself down, but the thought of what he just did continued to plague his mind and make him panic. "I killed Marilyn. I didn't just kill her, I actually strangled her with these hands. I watched her life leave her body. What the hell have I become?" Luke asks as he tries to calm down and regain his composure. Ella could feel his hands

Not Your Fight
"Is this what you call fun!" Ella said through gritted teeth as she glared at Marilyn. "Is this truly just one big game to you!" Ella shouted with rage. "You're just picking and choosing who lives and dies because you think you can! Just like those poor kids!" Ella screamed at the woman before her as she bawled her fists and raised them high. Marilyn let out a small laugh at her statement before turning her gaze down to Ella and giving her a smile that was meant to look kind and welcoming but instead gave the girl chills. "Oh, sweetheart! Don't you know that there are more important things than living or dying. Everyone here is doing their part to ensure a brighter future for everyone. Even you." She said as she stood up from her seat. "But you see, I don't have any plans for you today dear. Your time hasn't come just yet. The only one I need is my dear brother. After all, this was set up just for him." She said as she attempted to walk past Ella. But Ella's anger flared up once ag

Rage
As the screen fades to black, Luke can hear the sound of heavy machinery above him. Swimming up with his key in hand, Luke pops his head out of the water to find a thin catwalk extending from the wall opposite of the door. It continues to extend until it reaches the door, creating a path for him and Ella to stand on. Although out of reach currently, The water continued to rise which would soon allow them to reach the door if they wanted to escape. With a glance at Ella, Luke can only shake his head as he watches her playing in the water like a child. She's definitely enjoying herself way more than she should have been. Watching Luke play must have truly bored her. Once the water level was high enough, Luke grabbed hold of the catwalk's railing and pulled himself up. After taking a quick look back towards the water, Luke reached his hand out to pull Ella up from below. "Why, thank you kind sir." Ella replied sarcastically as she placed her hand in Luke's grip. The two were now sta

Master of Cards
Pushing to finish this game in the next round, Luke raises his head and takes a deep breath, as the water was now high enough to cover his face. Turning to his side to check on Ella, Luke could see her floating away on her back while giving him a thumbs up. He could tell that she was having fun despite the obvious danger approaching. But at least this meant that she trusted him to pull through. Finishing his breath, Luke dives under to see what was happening on his screen. His starting hand turned out to be a 15 made up of a 7 and an 8. Unfortunately, though. It seemed as though player 1's turn was taking much longer than usual. The same thing happened last round, so it wasn't unusual. Luke was just in a bit of a hurry considering his circumstances. Finally taking his turn, Player 1 instantly used the cover option and ended his turn with a Hit. Putting his cards count at three and locking down anyone's ability to manipulate his cards was most likely the best alternative. With playe
