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.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnv39KXETYO
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.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUK0d3xqRP
Emma looked at Lukas angrily. Her face was full of hatred.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7T8qwqJgW
Without understanding what was happening, Lukas walked toward the officers and said,
“Here I am… Am I being released, or…?”
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkquuqT7G1
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.”
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQttLujARp5
Lukas said in shock,
“What message? I didn’t do anything.”
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGIXbTYRMI
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.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7D20x94Cgc
———
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPInCZXFyC
Lukas no longer knew what to say.
No one was left who believed him.
No one…
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7SQuuYW93
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.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IxxCvCDFa
This situation was truly painful, but if he retaliated, things would only get worse.

One month later
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyPqrXL4FK
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…
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRP53Nph0lx
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.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TMeeyWWA4
Emma: “What happened to you like this?”
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHbFHQLipC
Lukas: “Daily routine.”
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaij1effQu
Emma: “What?”
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmdxFgv60K
Lukas: “Never mind. You talk.”
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiScKA58oQ
Emma: “About what?”
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYulTW0p8G
Lukas: “Has Jake been found? Why did he shoot me?”
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV2a0Hrxkm
In a trembling and sorrowful voice, Emma said:
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYMEpMoHn4
Emma: “Jake… was found dead.”
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKwej4GbRd
Hearing this, Lukas fainted. Although Jake was not his biological son, he loved him like his own.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmffPn8qETR
After waking up shortly after, he immediately began asking questions:
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmkXyCDeNu
Lukas: “How did he die? When? Who did it?”
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtf5H2Wa3q
Emma: “He jumped from a mountainous area… He committed suicide. Our son… committed suicide…”
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WrMpy8Q86
Emma began sobbing uncontrollably.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtoeS0F4ML
Police: “That’s enough, the visit is over.”
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx0Ruf5iXp
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.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuqyA5kBER
At first, Lukas didn’t understand — but then he realized…
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMSWZSCfZQ
There was definitely something behind this.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3SV7FKv4V
Not knowing what to do, Lukas asked the police to allow him to call an old friend.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIiKotd2Mw
“A person should find a friend to lean on when they have troubles.”
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmJO1t0Tuf
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.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwuGPjdRZg
Lukas: “Why are you laughing?”
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ea5ik9HL7
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:
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBnHVTgZ6Q
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.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8nUJoEPFn
Lukas: “I need a phone.”
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp31TAjs6BV
Frank: “Haha, why?”
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SPwCT5arZ
Lukas: “Leave that to me. I’ll do whatever you want.”
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOHk9oM1V8
Frank took a phone out of his pocket.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OFFqQZAwo
Frank: “Here, take it.”
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemHEflNi8y
Lukas asked in surprise:
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2znaOHeEm
Lukas: “No conditions?”
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xVocBx98v
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?
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQiEJsofJj
Frank was probably someone devoted to his family…
I wonder what he had experienced to end up here?
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RsDq3cN3i
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.
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajzp9erEqm
Alex: “Hello, who is this?”
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9Kqe1OuVh
Lukas: “I’m… Lukas. Your blood brother.”
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfC8lOmx5r
Alex: “What?! My friend…”
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHYx3hCOti
Lukas: “Alex, you have to get me out of prison.”
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJdHrPYp2m
Alex: “What prison?!”
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLGn4PpPum
Lukas: “I’ll tell you later. I have to get out of this damn place.”
