Lucy thought she truly did know the man in front of her, it made her heart ache seeing him like that, but..she couldn’t recall it! “L-lucy?” The man asked as soon as his eyes met hers. “Lucy, help me here! And… stay away from this monster!” “Who’s that man?” She asked Krasner, who just had a smirk on his lips, while staring at Rindley. “Lucy, what are you doing?” Rindley kept ranting. “He is mean, he will hurt you!” As much as Lucy couldn’t remember the man, she could tell he was truly worried about her. But Lucy knew she couldn’t yet let anyone know notice she remembered things. “I have no idea who you are. Dr. Krasner is not mean, he is here only to help you. You’ll be thankful when it is over.” She said in a much boring tone, as if reciting something, back straight, hands back. Rindley couldn’t recognize his sister there. And when he gave her a better look, he could tell her body was different. If she had not answered by the name Lucy, he would think she was just someone real
Late that night, Lucy was just waiting. She could not visit Brandon, since the guard would not let her go on her own and it was Krasner's orders for her to go from her dorm directly to the train room and back.She followed the orders until late night, when she knew only the guards of that shift would be awake. Lucy sneaked out of her door and went to the experiment room 2, where Brandon was being kept. The problem was that when she opened the door, it was not the truth. The place was empty. Soon, the lights turned on and she almost got blind by that. “ I thought it would take a little longer for you to wake up, but it seems I was wrong, my dear.” Krasner’s voice echoed and Lucy turned around to find the man behind her, but from a safe distance. “And you must know, by now, how much I dislike being wrong.” “So you must hate yourself all the time, right?” Lucy asked, mocking him and Krasner smiled even more. “So bold, Lucy. I love that in you. Really. It is one of the things that exc
Even very tired and injured, Brandon walked with Lucy and even helped Rindley, who was practically unconscious. He was actually in a cloud of confusion, not sure if he was alive or dead, if it was really Lucy and Brandon he heard.In fact, when he heard 'Brandon', for him it was confirmation that he was dead, after all, Brandon Ashford was dead, and only his twin brother, Friedrich, was alive. And, to top it off, he was an escaped prisoner.By the third day, Rindley was already sitting up.“Are you really Brandon?” he asked, uncertain.Brandon nodded, helping Rindley drink the water Lucy had gotten while she prepared the food."Long story." Brandon said, sighing.“Well, looks like we have plenty of time at the moment, don't you think? How and why did you pretend to be dead?” he asked, irritated. "Do you realize how much Lucy cried for you?"“Yes, and I'm sorry about that. I was attacked and almost died. I spent some time recovering, then I trained and joined forces that fight for good
The interrogation started the next morning and Lucy was ready for whatever they were going to ask. She had spent the night with both Gideon and Brandon, and they did talk a lot. It was not easy, because they asked about all the people she killed and part of it, she sincerely couldn’t even remember. When she was ‘released’ to attack them, she was much more controlled by Krasner and the drug inside her body, along with the device inside her brain, made her put her humanity aside and become a killing machine. “And how did you wake up?” One of the Elders asked and she glanced in the direction where Gideon was sitting along with Brandon. “I saw someone that made me confused. Gideon. Then, Brandon.” She said and the Elders looked at each other. There was denying that she and the twins had a different connection and it would only make sense if she was to wake up to her right mind because of them. As much as people there were warriors, they knew love was strong. It created a bond, a link
Almost a month had passed and Lucy trained every day. Chung-hee sat down with the Clan Leader and they had a talk about the latest developments. “I think, Chung-hee, it's time for you to go home.” He said. “I agree, but we need to take every precaution.” "Don't worry. I already arranged the plane.” The Leader said. “You just need to talk to the boys and the girl who is their wife.” The leader spoke making a strange face. “I will speak to them.” Chung-hee promised, and later that day he went to see those interested in returning home. “Brandon, Gideon, Lucy… it's time we returned home.” He announced and Brandon grinned. He liked the place, but he wanted to see his father, he wanted to know how everything was going. “And Rindley?” Lucy asked. "He will, too, of course. In fact, he is very valuable right now, as he will be able to vouch for everything you say. He was a victim of Krasner himself, so it is imperative that he accompany you." Chung-hee replied. Preparations were made an
As soon as they got off the plane, the police were already waiting for them, obviously. Chung-hee had warned them, as he didn't want to get there illegally. It would worse the whole situation. The police saw Lucy and found that what Chung-hee told them had a chance of being true, after all, the girl who was presumed dead and the cause of Friedrich Ashford's arrest was alive. And then, the convict got off the plane. However, right behind him, an identical man!“Apparently, Mr. Chung-hee Jin did not lie. Men are twins… but who is who?”There was a file with Friedrich's physical characteristics, the problem was that men were the same even in that. They both had the exact same tattoo!Lucy could easily tell the difference, but she kept silent. Even Rindley already had a way of telling them apart: Brandon's scar on the brow bone. Gideon had one around his neck.“Please follow us.”The plane did not go to the common part of the airport. They used the farthest lane, precisely so that the me
Augustina was waiting outside the sheriff's office with Rindley while her husband talked to the officer.She was beyond nervous.'I knew this girl was going to be trouble after all!' she thought irritably. Rindley could see that his mother was worried, as her knees were shaking and Augustina had a bad habit when she was like that: she bit the skin around her fingernails. Something she would certainly reproach her children for, but she did it subconsciously when she was VERY nervous.He wondered why she was like this. The father had mentioned that there was a possibility that they had found Lucy's body, which Rindley knew was not true. Augustina never seemed to have much affection for Lucy, and Rindley found that strange. The girl was always good, sweet, kind, polite. Besides, wouldn't it be more normal for a mother to want to pamper her precious daughter?Simon left the room, pale and Augustina wanted to question him, however, the delegate called her and a policeman went beside her, t
Rindley was sitting across from the deputy, thoughtful. He already expected that, because he wasn't so stupid as to never have suspected."So, you really didn't know about that?"“No, Deputy Sanders. I really didn't know. During my whole life I thought about it, after all, let's say that our mother was not the most affectionate with Lucy and I asked myself why.” Rindley said sadly, but he smiled. “Lucy is not her daughter. And she knows it very well.”The deputy nodded in agreement. He expected this. And he was glad to know that at least one person in the family didn't look rotten. The biological child wasn't as bad as the parents.“What will happen, sir?” Rindley asked. “I never raised the question with Lucy. She suffered a lot from Mom's indifference, and I honestly didn't know if that could be a good thing or not for her to know at this point.”“I'll talk to her. It's my job.” He said. “I will look into the hospital matter.”“Child theft.” Rindley spoke. It wasn't a question."Exac
