Fatal Choices

A chemist leaving his country

Elias just discovered a new drug with the potential to be the most expansive and the most addictive of the black market. He was creating an invisible drug empire where only a few people knew him as the producer or the operator biochemist of the future, people he trusted or thought he did. He loved what he was doing, and having an income coming out of it was his dream turning into reality, but it wasn't easy for him to start selling and hiding it from his family

His mother died in a car accident when he was a baby, and all he was left with was his officer father and his twin sister Helmi

Elias has been in family fight, not only that he succeeded to put his sister in a mental asylum with bipolar diagnosis, but also towards to his father where of his own presence makes him feel convicted, and his phosphorescent job starts flickering into very random datas where his personal informations like family and establishment could come to light

He's staring shocked at the screen, switches the laptop off, and starts typing a number on his phone. A double displayed phone he had never seen before starting ringing. The name dad is shown with a foreign phone number. The internet couldn't provide him with what's country owns or what service's, but its serious matter, Elias thinks it might be the last time he'll speak with his father, it might be the time he shares his situation to his father and be real, an helicopter starts making huge noise next to his house, he can hear it from feels away, so he declines answering the phone, thinking that he might regret it later.

In the middle of the night, a quiet knock troubles Helmi's room door. Without any hesitation, she opens the door widely and starts hugging her brother, who came to rescue her. But a night shift nurse saw them leaving the door and approached them.
"Where are you 2 going?" The two siblings stoned of shock, and the elder brother said they're going out for a fresh breath, pointing that they're going to smoke, after both their names we're registered on a pad, they we're left to leave, both of them run to his car and drove away of a high security modern asylum.

"Did you get me what I've asked you for?" Helmi asked, Elias hands her an A5 size old notebook and says,"It's all I have from her. "
Helmi investigates the notebook, noticing it's their mum's handwriting, and over 50% is what she wrote, but she remembered it was written with a dark turquoise ink pen, not black.

"Why did you come after me?" Helmi sobbs. "Our dad has been fired from work, and all of it is because of me,"
"Because you took me out of that hospital?!" Elias reproaches with a No

"Look sister, all that shady fun work with anti pharmaceutical pills I did, has been taken out to light, dad might know what I'm doing, but I can't risk to be approached by him, so if you want to stay with me, we'll avoid him" Helmi's face shocked but she nodded as she halfway approves.
"So what's happening now? Where are We heading"
"I have to reclaim what's mine and disappear."
"But brother, you have nothing," his sister giggled, "I see it in your troubled face, You've lost everything." Her voice becomes lower and more serious," and you can't gain it back."

The time is so late, nobody's outside anymore, they've stopped in a big modern residential place where they'll go to rest.
Helmi is sleeping, but her face impresses nightmares so badly that she'd probably forget about them on the next day, and Elias can't stop his thoughts, looking at the starry night sky, making himself a cocktail of nootropics.

He hears a helicopter, or he thinks he does, and he couldn't do nothing but react about it, so he wakes up his sister of her deep dreaming and rushes her to leave.
When they reach their car, they've been approached by their father's superior, right at that time, Elias forces Helmi to wait for him in the car, she couldn't do anything but listen to him, she had this mirror screening phone she hound and hidden away from Elias and it only had permitted the option to take videos,and probably secret fearures that instantly send the videos to federal or secret agencies, those phones were real mystery for the few people that finds them, so she recorded Elias through the side mirror of the car, he's recorded as taking the lieutenant's life with a knife, she becomes so scared she's petrified and couldn't dare turn her head to see if its really happening.
She sees him with her eyes through the car that he puts the deceased body inside the car, making it seem like a plausable suicide
Elias jumped back to the car where Helmi sits crouched, shaking herself and Elias looking at her with regretfully eyes, just thinking of what he could do for her and giving her his phone
"You can call dad, but don't say anything about what happens,"
She bursted in tears and gave him a hug, and receives the phone, and rings their dad, at first he wasn't responding.

In tears and suffering, Helmi cries, "Why did you give me a number that's not working?, just why?"
Elias, in a calm voice, says to try to call him again later, and Helmi doesn't have that sense of later in her anymore, so she calls him right away.
At that time, she hears the voice of a man, and she immediately puts it on mute and asks Elias, "Why did you make me call him?"
"Isn't that what you wanted?" She gives him an angry face and unmutes the phone, with a scared sound she replies, "Hi?"and a confident voice immediately replied,"Yes, how may I help you?"Is it mister Jarmo Antti?"
"Yes, that's my name, and how may I help you today,and also how do you know my name?"
"DAD, it's me, Helmi, your daughter."
"Hello, Helmi, did they let you leave earlier? Did they prescribe you to take anything? Are you feeling better?"
"Dad, I missed you,"
Their dad, in a crying voice, responded that it's been years since they last talked
Helmi tenses her neck muscles and shakes her head in slow motion, says, "I know dad." Grom her front seat she looks at Elias driving a car that he has probably stolen and rapidly starts talking "Dad I need to leave. Maybe we'll get to talk later, love you," Without any response back, she hangs up the phone.
Elias looks at her while he's still driving, and she looks at him, while the car's still moving, Elias shouts at Helmi that she needs to drop the phone through the window, they we're on a bridge and the phone was dropped so far away to the point it was dropped inside the ocean.
