TW: Angst
***
Meanwhile, before Ratch and Cleo's incident....Lincoln was running through the trail, his body was beginning to feel weak from all the running and his eyes were filled with tears of betrayal. Why would Cleo say that? Did she really love him? Or was that just an act? Did his parents lied to him about Cleo all of his life? or was he just too stupid to notice?
The place he was going to was the place where he and Ratchet took their break, you know, the one with the pretty view? But link doubts that he would see a pretty view since it was raining.
But before he could run to the bench to sit down or let out a big scream of anger, sadness and betrayal.....
"Ratchet! Wait! Babe come on! just look at me!"
Lincoln heard an angry yet desperate female voice crying out for his friend's name. It was Cleo.
Frightened, Link hid behind some brush, he didn't know what Cleo would do if she saw him there. She was crazy enough, but he doubted that she was THAT crazy.
Right?
Wrong!
As he hid behind the brush, He heard Cleo and Ratchet arguing, it wasn't like those rare "disagreements" that his parents have, but THIS was an argument. Period.
But then, as he continued to listen, he heard Ratchet say something strange.
"I thought you were like her....."
Her? Who is her? Cleo asked the same question. Ratchet then talks about someone by the name of Rivet. that was the thing that confused Lincoln the most. Who is Rivet? Was that the female lombax from 2 years ago? But whoever she was, Ratchet said many nice things about her, Words like "she's brave" and "she's kind". Lincoln had never heard Ratchet say those nice stuff about a girl before, he must have cared about her a lot.
Cleo then demanded Ratchet to take back what he said immediately. Ratchet just scoffs and said something that was absolutely the cherry on top.
"The only reason why you're saying that is because it's true Cleo, and..."
He sighs.
"ever since I saved you from those crooks on the street, I just thought you said one, just one, honest thing to me...........Nice play...."
Lincoln know that those last two words were Ratchet's break up words to Cleo.
He then saw Clank come into the scene. He saw the two friends talk before he hears Clank scream:
"RATCHET LOOK OUT!!!!"
*SHANK*
And that's when it happened.
Ratchet, his idol, his mentor, his friend, was murdered in cold blood before his eyes.
