A few days had passed. The police identified the owner of the number that sent the message and moved toward the location.
This location turned out to be the coordinates of the prison cell where Lukas was held.

Indeed, when they arrived, the place was correct. Assuming that Lukas was responsible, they opened an investigation on him.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwyPIwUyme
The police called out, “Is Lukas here?”
Lukas got up from the ground. He was surprised to see the police and his wife Emma. For a moment, he felt joy — maybe he would be released…
But instead, a new investigation was to be opened against him.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbNd8vpcKk
Emma looked at Lukas angrily. Her face was full of hatred.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszaPI6tIAI
Without understanding what was happening, Lukas walked toward the officers and said,
“Here I am… Am I being released, or…?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtR0t0UcXtg
One of the officers replied,
“No. You will serve more time. You are sentenced to a heavier punishment for impersonating your son and tricking us with that message.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnYWkoxkLQ
Lukas said in shock,
“What message? I didn’t do anything.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvya5qWqnD
The officer looked him up and down. Judging by his appearance and condition, he looked at Lukas with disgust and didn’t believe him at all.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqjr1kac3Y

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrSmlux1to
Lukas no longer knew what to say.
No one was left who believed him.
No one…
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSgSTCQu2Q
Days seemed to stop passing. Lukas had gotten used to the torment he faced in prison.
Wake up, prepare breakfast, tidy all the beds, massage Frank’s head… so many tasks. If he didn’t do them, Frank would abuse him.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLyF8io0ur
This situation was truly painful, but if he retaliated, things would only get worse.

One month later
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAmrDWMBFb
It was Monday. Lukas would usually wake up early and do his tasks, but today was visitation day with Emma. So he did nothing.
Frank had bruised his eye and split his brow. He was going to the visit in that condition. Despite everything, he still loved his wife Emma…
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6hosMW20E
Emma hadn’t seen him for a while. This time she felt pity for her husband; his condition, the wounds on his eye, the dullness on his face… She was sad for the first time.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLBO3Wnqw9
Emma: “What happened to you like this?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEz0W2HAh81
Lukas: “Daily routine.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl10cIbBru
Emma: “What?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMmEBPsIuK
Lukas: “Never mind. You talk.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrlD7Jp254
Emma: “About what?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItYrfIScZt
Lukas: “Has Jake been found? Why did he shoot me?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfD7FFd7Osl
In a trembling and sorrowful voice, Emma said:
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC5bX1DSVQ
Emma: “Jake… was found dead.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3heN0z95Ee
Hearing this, Lukas fainted. Although Jake was not his biological son, he loved him like his own.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzgUH0PIkx
After waking up shortly after, he immediately began asking questions:
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQewtSOK141
Lukas: “How did he die? When? Who did it?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjOVIYgbxa
Emma: “He jumped from a mountainous area… He committed suicide. Our son… committed suicide…”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH73bCZakWI
Emma began sobbing uncontrollably.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s7WPlixUl
Police: “That’s enough, the visit is over.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAzXV36w1R
As Emma left, she winked at Lukas and made a hand sign. When they first got married, they used to show each other a ‘lock’ hand sign. Whenever something happened, they did that. So there was definitely something going on, but they couldn’t speak because of the police presence.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY7CsGbSMK
At first, Lukas didn’t understand — but then he realized…
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSLrp7N0K5
There was definitely something behind this.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUErNOSnosN
Not knowing what to do, Lukas asked the police to allow him to call an old friend.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZdsxQcbcs
“A person should find a friend to lean on when they have troubles.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOnfubHCXT
Lukas’s friend Alex was his blood brother.
One day while playing a match in the neighborhood, Lukas fell and cut his hand.
Alex started laughing. Lukas didn’t understand why.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDneqEWc63
Lukas: “Why are you laughing?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz0r7I1tVs
Alex: “Now we’re blood brothers,” he said and took a piece of glass and cut his wrist.
Lukas looked on in surprise, not understanding.
Alex held Lukas’s hand and pressed his bleeding wrist to Lukas’s bleeding hand, saying:
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEtkjVFTj2
Alex: “No matter what happens, we are blood brothers.”
From that day on, their friendship lasted a lifetime.

Since Lukas had just met with Emma, he wasn’t allowed to call again by phone. But he needed to call.
He decided to ask Frank for something for the first time.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVdqJa7AZs
Lukas: “I need a phone.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfM5XPXj7yS
Frank: “Haha, why?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhTOp1cRcD
Lukas: “Leave that to me. I’ll do whatever you want.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy06GiUrhcD
Frank took a phone out of his pocket.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Jn6xVx6lB
Frank: “Here, take it.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUaGTvEgGT
Lukas asked in surprise:
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMUxCamOXC
Lukas: “No conditions?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvCJLVftnm
Frank: “I heard your conversations. You’re in a tough spot. Family is everything,” he said quietly, holding back tears and walked away.
How did he hear the conversation?
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFOBWWZOkR
Frank was probably someone devoted to his family…
I wonder what he had experienced to end up here?
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZBWoogvzw
As soon as Lukas took the phone, he immediately went to the restroom and started calling.
No one answered the phone.
He had lost hope…
Until the phone rang a while later.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqNmyW4klE
Alex: “Hello, who is this?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKMlvOSOUo
Lukas: “I’m… Lukas. Your blood brother.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWdgUgO92P
Alex: “What?! My friend…”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3gB1rhFfI
Lukas: “Alex, you have to get me out of prison.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqos3yh7VRJ
Alex: “What prison?!”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGCUIVaUee
Lukas: “I’ll tell you later. I have to get out of this damn place.”
