who was he ?

chapter 15

"Oh my god ! How can this be possible " Dr. Greene gasped out loud . He noticed that the little fracture in her thumb which she had days ago was missing now.
He thought of the possibility of it healing extremely fast but how could a fracture be cured so quickly he wondered . This was practically impossible so he shrugged the thought away . What the hell was happening now !

"I have to go the Whittaker mansion immediately ." He told her trustworthy assistant , Skylar and then quickly took his overcoat , hat and briefcase. With this he left the hospital in haste , ignoring every greeting and even the rain that was now pouring in full motion . He took the carriage and told the coachman to take him to the mansion as soon as possible . The coachman agreed and swiftly whipped his horse who neighed loudly and started galloping rapidly .

Dr. Greene reached the mansion in a few minutes , tipped the coachman for his quick ride and went inside to clear all his doubts which were growing on him like a plague now .

"I need to talk to Lucy right now. " He barged inside the mansion and told the first he saw who happened to be a blonde boy in his twenties with strikingly similar features as James . The same blue eyes and the blonde hair , the same jaw cut and the same body frame . Greene gasped and scrunched his eyebrows pondering on the question as to who he was and what was he doing in the mansion in such a weather .

He ignored him and went to the hall which was now dimly lit despite its huge frame. That was where he had seen Lucy the last time he came here to examine the body .

He carefully peeked everywhere trying not to disturb their privacy but then in one of the corners he found Lucy slumped beside the sofa . With her head held between her knees and her disheveled hair flying everywhere crying to be tamed .

He took cautious steps towards her and sat on the ground beside her , not saying anything , just listening to her soft cries .

Suddenly , he stood up and opened the huge curtains and lighted the whole hall . He tried to bring light in the sad gloomy room but his efforts were to no avail . Lucy still did not look up .

"Listen Lucy I know you are mourning but listen I need you to answer some questions and believe me I am also very very sad due to her sudden departure . But ..." He stopped to see that Lucy had her undivided attention on him now and was listening to each and every word that came out of his mouth with uttermost observation . He smirked at his achievement and congratulated himself for this but then he saw the tears glistening in her eyes and stopped himself from smiling .

"Okay , now that you are listening , tell me did Alice have any birthmark or got any injury previously ?"

"Y-e-es s-she had a-a-a birt-hh-birthmark " Lucy replied croaking and hiccuping after every syllable recalling her soft hands and her soft hair which would fly everywhere when not combed . She recollected the soft sound of her laugh and how she would choke while laughing sometimes and the playful prank in her eyes which she tried so hard to hide ; her pearl white milky teeth which showed when she silently smiled and her pout when she wanted something ; how she would stick out her tongue and run away from Thomas , how she sticked out her lower lip when she tried so hard not to cry . Lucy snickered at the memory which were long lost now .

"Yes , s-she definitely had t-this tiny-yy litt-ttle birthmark on her rig-g-ght arm which she would always tri-e-ed to cover as she thoug-g-ht it loo-looked odd. But I alwaa-ays loved that sweet sweet sign of her . " She said while composing herself .

"Was it very very prominent . " Greene asked while emphasising on the word 'very' .

"Y-yes i-it was " she said while nodding her head .

"Oh god " he said and flopped on the sofa while his heart sped up . "I think she is not dead Lucy , I think she is still living "

"What should we do of her boss ?" A thunderous voice said.

"Nothing , leave her as it is " A domineering voice said.

"But what if they find her " Another voice with weaker intensity said.

"Then we will do what we always do " The same domineering voice said and his tone was very creepy.

This was the last thing she heard before she went into her deep sleep again .
