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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8HgrP6gdk
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLQXk7LlLR
Emma looked at Lukas angrily. Her face was full of hatred.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl38AooHzxA
Without understanding what was happening, Lukas walked toward the officers and said,
“Here I am… Am I being released, or…?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2gelI8XdZ
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.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVoLa2KAUW
Lukas said in shock,
“What message? I didn’t do anything.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScfFXnc1aG
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggn3dlrq0o
———
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VxQLr0b0j
Lukas no longer knew what to say.
No one was left who believed him.
No one…
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKvMl0eg59
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVp00bSzMSr
This situation was truly painful, but if he retaliated, things would only get worse.

One month later
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTzn3nnDNs
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…
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJ72H8vgFJ
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeLM5fr9RG
Emma: “What happened to you like this?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8A4PcNpV5g
Lukas: “Daily routine.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4e6ilEmhS
Emma: “What?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQsmn7nxD2
Lukas: “Never mind. You talk.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIPzfof9uY
Emma: “About what?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViwj0lIgRD
Lukas: “Has Jake been found? Why did he shoot me?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8OVLIYYtx
In a trembling and sorrowful voice, Emma said:
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMCciwqXmR
Emma: “Jake… was found dead.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZMsunVZtG
Hearing this, Lukas fainted. Although Jake was not his biological son, he loved him like his own.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabMGhVTxjp
After waking up shortly after, he immediately began asking questions:
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ610KzSXaaO
Lukas: “How did he die? When? Who did it?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYFWyAGgK3
Emma: “He jumped from a mountainous area… He committed suicide. Our son… committed suicide…”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTwFWAl4Gg
Emma began sobbing uncontrollably.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1O1bsksDJ
Police: “That’s enough, the visit is over.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0fjYQNs88
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVBF9g7AWS
At first, Lukas didn’t understand — but then he realized…
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oHWturvXg
There was definitely something behind this.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemep3miTfS
Not knowing what to do, Lukas asked the police to allow him to call an old friend.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CiXHXvzIK
“A person should find a friend to lean on when they have troubles.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXFW1tuDRt
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVklNqWppGT
Lukas: “Why are you laughing?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡII07CmLDnP
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:
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxku1Mz4VIh
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQY9kiyRmT
Lukas: “I need a phone.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7jsfWzAjp
Frank: “Haha, why?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldcL4ttljc
Lukas: “Leave that to me. I’ll do whatever you want.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlPBvTn6KZ
Frank took a phone out of his pocket.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EX583tUF7
Frank: “Here, take it.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9x5Au5s0D
Lukas asked in surprise:
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1vkhHppgZ
Lukas: “No conditions?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DEernXvnd
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?
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjsUTz7zj7
Frank was probably someone devoted to his family…
I wonder what he had experienced to end up here?
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xnTLMOCoQ
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJT2N4nmVD
Alex: “Hello, who is this?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehwKu9ikh8
Lukas: “I’m… Lukas. Your blood brother.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebBCkx1Q6G
Alex: “What?! My friend…”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2vix0Mbdc
Lukas: “Alex, you have to get me out of prison.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtOwsoDvgc
Alex: “What prison?!”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWUZ5YypSL
Lukas: “I’ll tell you later. I have to get out of this damn place.”
