"What If Luke And Clive Were Brothers?" | | AU

| The Clocktower Kidnapping | Part 2

".....You mean to tell me that you two received a letter that may tell us where my brother is?"

"Yes Clive and I suggest we get going now with you as our lead," Hershel replied quite slowly as he watched the inventor go back into his workshop to only bring some weapons and place them in his bag.

Chemley felt uncomfortable that a young lad was planning to kill whoever kidnapped and was about to reason with him, only to forget his plan when Clive gave a cold glare at him; growling low.

Hershel coughed slightly to get both of their attention before walking to the doorstep of the brother's shared home.

"Enough you two. Luke needs our help and I will not deal with immature adults as my companions."

"Apologies..." Chemley muttered while Clive stayed silent. He was in no mood to apologise, even if it meant being a tad vicious to his friends and new family.

Once reached outside of the house to begin their journey, Layton gave the small paper to the elder brother to read; telling him it was the only way for them to know where to go next.

Clive opened it up and began to speak out loud,

"The Clocktower. Look close and you shall meet three stars. That is where the next letter is located."

"Then that is where we shall head, come on,"

Hershel said as they all made their way to the Laytonmobile which was parked up near the clock shop.

From there, they began to make their way to Big Ben; one of the biggest attractions of England.

Why was his vision so dark? Why was there barely any light left?

Luke didn't know himself. All he knew was that each beating he received felt as if a car had driven into him at such fast speed.

No matter his pleas and tears, those men in the dark never stopped; they had no sympathy for a child after all.

Of course they wouldn't, Bill Hawks was the one to choose these monstrous men.

For now, Luke thinks the adults had left the room for some break. At least he's not being whipped or having his arms sliced again...

Shutting his eyes tight, the little assistant tries to revisit any memories he could think of to forget the stinging pain that flowed all over his trembling body.

There was that time when Clive told Luke about one memory were their biological parents had taken them to a sunflower valley for one trip.

Luke was probably a few months old at the time whilst Clive or Klaus which was his original name at birth was still 13. He said this took place the same year of the accident but many months ago...

"Alright Klaus, you can wake up now." His mother said sweetly before gently shaking the sleepy child. Klaus gave a small yawn before giving a tired grin to his mother.

"Did we make it, Ma?" 

"Course we did, my son. Luke is also eager to see too!" With a small giggle, she cradled a bit tightly on Luke who was smiling and making happy noises as he looked outside at the blooming flowers.

Klaus shuffled closer to take a closer look and gave a big awe at the sight. They were lucky to finally get some time out of London just to see such beautiful sightings. He must have wondered if they were probably blessed from above.

After they all got out of the car, Luke and Klaus' parents decided to make a little picnic sight before letting their son carry their baby to go and explore nature's beauty.
