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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwqTNW7Uk2
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbNGRI1ahG
Emma looked at Lukas angrily. Her face was full of hatred.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qsmwdRHdR
Without understanding what was happening, Lukas walked toward the officers and said,
“Here I am… Am I being released, or…?”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡip1QRVvVHm
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.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGS2VV8lMrZ
Lukas said in shock,
“What message? I didn’t do anything.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ywvxLHZdM
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmwlTVKOFb
———
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9wUrahrzb
Lukas no longer knew what to say.
No one was left who believed him.
No one…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpKDqZc2Ou
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmRtoVCozR
This situation was truly painful, but if he retaliated, things would only get worse.

One month later
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxq69M2a5d
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…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYincAiXMeM
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YhTp5Xfjg
Emma: “What happened to you like this?”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjZDrYz6zZ
Lukas: “Daily routine.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvs4xri0y4
Emma: “What?”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVJfq1tGhz
Lukas: “Never mind. You talk.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKHCpoubKn
Emma: “About what?”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxc5rI1QDi
Lukas: “Has Jake been found? Why did he shoot me?”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9KBvQQrfb
In a trembling and sorrowful voice, Emma said:
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgD2ZWvwwi
Emma: “Jake… was found dead.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJp0pnNXdO
Hearing this, Lukas fainted. Although Jake was not his biological son, he loved him like his own.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfWuYGivP2
After waking up shortly after, he immediately began asking questions:
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05nqVwKogC
Lukas: “How did he die? When? Who did it?”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIj8MrzDhb
Emma: “He jumped from a mountainous area… He committed suicide. Our son… committed suicide…”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhUMCLcJ87
Emma began sobbing uncontrollably.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmym7vExwy
Police: “That’s enough, the visit is over.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQAdWH26HO
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww8wLaa2Dh
At first, Lukas didn’t understand — but then he realized…
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFV4Rh1i0d
There was definitely something behind this.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna0QipvbUx
Not knowing what to do, Lukas asked the police to allow him to call an old friend.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC3KUbILsM
“A person should find a friend to lean on when they have troubles.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwr9b0wok4
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpLxLZuiSl
Lukas: “Why are you laughing?”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgTZ7kUSIQ
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:
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRJkZxRHkG
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZryIQehYhQ
Lukas: “I need a phone.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGJHfcI9Wu
Frank: “Haha, why?”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNcrvbfH1t
Lukas: “Leave that to me. I’ll do whatever you want.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiu7knl1kD
Frank took a phone out of his pocket.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn8vfiFVSd
Frank: “Here, take it.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEImFhRm0XK
Lukas asked in surprise:
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DxruJaQXj
Lukas: “No conditions?”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvPtydBVNa
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?
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5i8yPLV5mM
Frank was probably someone devoted to his family…
I wonder what he had experienced to end up here?
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOE01fNDCuM
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFrkeiSwS3
Alex: “Hello, who is this?”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16c816U3xP
Lukas: “I’m… Lukas. Your blood brother.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQofiPjno80
Alex: “What?! My friend…”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYPhxdArOq
Lukas: “Alex, you have to get me out of prison.”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qlRGzTMo6
Alex: “What prison?!”
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi307FJEUl6
Lukas: “I’ll tell you later. I have to get out of this damn place.”
