“What?” Casey whipped around in shock seeing his older brother who was pale white. Now it made sense, why his memory didn’t exactly work, he was a clone of the dead brother to the Stratton family. He couldn't take the attention, so he ran off into the woods. Newt instantly followed him, the blond knowing instantly what to do having learnt from his older cousin over the past three years.
“Casey, wait!” Nick tried to move after him when his mother moved in the way only to slap him. Vince and Jorge flanked either side of him.
“He’s a what?! Explain now!” Lisa shouted at her eldest, her only surviving child.
“Casey is a clone. Niro made a clone of him in hopes to test him with the virus but I saved him and raised him as my brother. He isn’t any different, he deserved a life so I gave him one” Nick explained in short, Lisa glared at him.
“Why? Was it punishment? Nicholas, you are lucky you are even here after you murdered my sister, your sister and Casey…”
“I didn’t kill them, dad did. How many times must I tell you! Why the hell would I murder my own family! I’m not my father! Anyway, Casey’s still here!” Nick was angry and it was showing in his words as he held his hands in fists beside his body.
“So are you saying you are not a murderer? That you're innocent because we know farewell that you are not, that not after…”
“For hell’s sake, mother, yes I may have done a few things in the past but it's in the past but there is no way in hell I killed any of my family…”
“What about Sandra?”
“She deserved it”
“She was my mother”
“And an awful one” Nick bluntly answered only to meet the dirt, Vince had struck him hard. Nick hit the ground violently, he blinked, feeling his vision spin as he readjusted his glasses and climbed back to his feet.
“Our mother didn’t deserve it, you're a cold blooded killer” Jorge added, taking a step in front of Brenda who watched with curious eyes.
“You know there is a reason why I prefer it out there, in survival world and the reason why is because I don’t have to deal with the past” Nick snarled out, rubbing his pants down.
“Well then leave like you always do, maybe you can actually take out the right person and leave us all alone for good. Sometimes, I wish you weren’t my son”
“At least you had a son” Nick grunted out only to be smacked, his head whipped to the side. He flinched away from Jorge when he moved forward again. The others watched with shocked eyes.
“I had a son, he died the moment my family died, so why don’t you pack your things and leave before I…”
“Watch what you say next” Newt suddenly appeared standing in front of Nick, the blond looked furious. Nick looked down at his cousin in shock. A hand on his shoulder turned his attention to Casey who remained silent beside him.
“And who are you?”
“Issac Newton” Lisa gasped at the young man in front of her, she looked back at Vince who nodded, it was his son.
“And why would I be careful with what I would say next?”
"Because none of you are any better than each other. Without Nick, none of us would be here. I would certainly be dead as would Jackson. This man has sacrificed his life in dedication to keeping everyone alive including breaking into Niro's facilities to save the ones who have a chance at stopping this hell for us all including Thomas and Teresa" Newt explained, Nick placed a hand on his back to tell him to move. Newt moved just as Lisa went for him only to catch her son in the face. Thomas lunged forward grabbing Newt as Nick stumbled to the ground.
