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.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvBVGpwEkV
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.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kgS3hyBat
Emma looked at Lukas angrily. Her face was full of hatred.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdQbHXfVHT
Without understanding what was happening, Lukas walked toward the officers and said,
“Here I am… Am I being released, or…?”
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHU49L2HhPW
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.”
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa57jusQu1j
Lukas said in shock,
“What message? I didn’t do anything.”
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmgylWQ8zd
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.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7etqtVzzUx
———
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0ZX00AWZq
Lukas no longer knew what to say.
No one was left who believed him.
No one…
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLUauB4Z04
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.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoyZKJSuPD
This situation was truly painful, but if he retaliated, things would only get worse.

One month later
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFI6Ex9WmIU
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…
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2QTiiUIGe
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.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbuSaJ7hvI
Emma: “What happened to you like this?”
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzrCmGGalg
Lukas: “Daily routine.”
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6pC1VbRKi
Emma: “What?”
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3GChkryNu
Lukas: “Never mind. You talk.”
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC8liftQf0
Emma: “About what?”
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gpzBcKaYJ
Lukas: “Has Jake been found? Why did he shoot me?”
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzi2XVgGkM
In a trembling and sorrowful voice, Emma said:
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSUYkgrx7J
Emma: “Jake… was found dead.”
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnodThgIu6j
Hearing this, Lukas fainted. Although Jake was not his biological son, he loved him like his own.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlIZQXgddR
After waking up shortly after, he immediately began asking questions:
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAcPOElBYV
Lukas: “How did he die? When? Who did it?”
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2upQ0LLfoK
Emma: “He jumped from a mountainous area… He committed suicide. Our son… committed suicide…”
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVtKCrlIVg
Emma began sobbing uncontrollably.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGyEtDn7cZ
Police: “That’s enough, the visit is over.”
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vMO7TIb37
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.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUxIHSNaKM
At first, Lukas didn’t understand — but then he realized…
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtU8yVagxQ
There was definitely something behind this.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyJwE4zLX8
Not knowing what to do, Lukas asked the police to allow him to call an old friend.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdOIDDmECN
“A person should find a friend to lean on when they have troubles.”
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D2eSfZnMp
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.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYoohDRYJA
Lukas: “Why are you laughing?”
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa7SfzM6rG
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:
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtKeNmZ5T9
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.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOayJMSbcqZ
Lukas: “I need a phone.”
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJDtQyxID3
Frank: “Haha, why?”
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yY59Nk5zq
Lukas: “Leave that to me. I’ll do whatever you want.”
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYyJ5fxuhX
Frank took a phone out of his pocket.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTZOTASESz
Frank: “Here, take it.”
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHJKDygQzS
Lukas asked in surprise:
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAPGDmULvJ
Lukas: “No conditions?”
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEtjWYudxs
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?
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA50ralc1Q
Frank was probably someone devoted to his family…
I wonder what he had experienced to end up here?
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtzP9YzYVV
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.
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIxxa27lEb
Alex: “Hello, who is this?”
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDfxzNr3Mh
Lukas: “I’m… Lukas. Your blood brother.”
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlX3Y9pV2OT
Alex: “What?! My friend…”
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJy6SWlVnmC
Lukas: “Alex, you have to get me out of prison.”
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRT1Fi7uYCq
Alex: “What prison?!”
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHJdSZPCA1
Lukas: “I’ll tell you later. I have to get out of this damn place.”
