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.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYLUDIDizI
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.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5XBzAJCjk
Emma looked at Lukas angrily. Her face was full of hatred.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuWqwAibjv
Without understanding what was happening, Lukas walked toward the officers and said,
“Here I am… Am I being released, or…?”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDBCXlyFBf
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.”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uJKK0ozJM
Lukas said in shock,
“What message? I didn’t do anything.”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2CQ5pTD4a
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.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcsuE7cnGO
———
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p0mfFmyYq
Lukas no longer knew what to say.
No one was left who believed him.
No one…
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZ182JrazL
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.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6h3O5rJSx
This situation was truly painful, but if he retaliated, things would only get worse.

One month later
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFoCGDTIcD
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…
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbZim60FDL
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.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsb5KfsDmp
Emma: “What happened to you like this?”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOkS2O61ET
Lukas: “Daily routine.”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiCpnr9IZF
Emma: “What?”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsi2tTcSTlc
Lukas: “Never mind. You talk.”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5hQO2rCTL
Emma: “About what?”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOyeS3ER6b
Lukas: “Has Jake been found? Why did he shoot me?”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Scz5JKo1D
In a trembling and sorrowful voice, Emma said:
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWE8vGZ5ky
Emma: “Jake… was found dead.”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFMgzi1KbA
Hearing this, Lukas fainted. Although Jake was not his biological son, he loved him like his own.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCkUgrM7OP
After waking up shortly after, he immediately began asking questions:
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yOPzf0QgU
Lukas: “How did he die? When? Who did it?”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbVg4dcxp7
Emma: “He jumped from a mountainous area… He committed suicide. Our son… committed suicide…”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWUdooV54I
Emma began sobbing uncontrollably.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnbr3DRT6G
Police: “That’s enough, the visit is over.”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbAME0lVPO
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.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZu7Hp8ULFs
At first, Lukas didn’t understand — but then he realized…
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFeD397eCc
There was definitely something behind this.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QmcN9xNli
Not knowing what to do, Lukas asked the police to allow him to call an old friend.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcda6AdbJn
“A person should find a friend to lean on when they have troubles.”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAPDgjydoE
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.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIMp6zzhMI
Lukas: “Why are you laughing?”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8zx7Pz90z
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:
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWVxjrEvbE
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.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSJTUDv63W
Lukas: “I need a phone.”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfx3GwXBF6
Frank: “Haha, why?”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcenWauGllC
Lukas: “Leave that to me. I’ll do whatever you want.”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9Y2XKub98
Frank took a phone out of his pocket.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pVaITThH9
Frank: “Here, take it.”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxlP1DRgRe
Lukas asked in surprise:
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrldBkyTgOj
Lukas: “No conditions?”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NIvGxiUGI
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?
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXU8N4zW9x
Frank was probably someone devoted to his family…
I wonder what he had experienced to end up here?
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtoeMdD4zq
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.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbqbxo756P
Alex: “Hello, who is this?”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WUBTkwbYN
Lukas: “I’m… Lukas. Your blood brother.”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCELBqdWhUM
Alex: “What?! My friend…”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oOsTis98q
Lukas: “Alex, you have to get me out of prison.”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnI41XEceS
Alex: “What prison?!”
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHtGB2BD0p
Lukas: “I’ll tell you later. I have to get out of this damn place.”
