It was a dark gloomy evening. The parents pondered on how to explain it , the others sat in silence, submerged in their thoughts.
The silence was soon broken.
"(Sigh) You kids are right, we've been hiding something from you guys.... it's about time you know...." Michael said as he facepalmed.
Until then two people could be heard panting outside the front door.
"Someone's outside..." Pointed out Amelia.
"I'll check.." declared Seline.
Upon opening the door Seline was shocked to see her son, Ace, who is a military officer. He wasn't supposed to be home for another month or so.
"Ace?! What are you doing here my boy?" Asked Seline.
Everyone inside was surprised as well.
"I'll explain...." Ace said.
Ace went inside followed by Desmond.
Now everyone was confused.
"Well...what's going on here...?" Asked a confused Raymond.
"(Sigh) This is about the past....you see dear parents....me and Desmond were suspicious." Expressed Ace.
"What do you mean Ace..?" Asked Jay.
"Well, you guys have been paranoid for the past few years haven't you? Ever since he broke out of jail?" Said Desmond.
"H-how?" Adrianna was shocked.
"How about you explain everything to
Ray, Ame and Sam? Poor kids are confused....Also... where's Beth?"
Upon Ace's question regarding Beth everyone became gloomy again.
"A-Ace...honey maybe you should sit down first...." Suggested Seline.
"Mom you say as if something happened..."
"Yeah auntie....is something the matter?" Asked Desmond.
"Because something has happened..." Said Adrianna.
"Ace... Desmond... Annabeth was kidnapped...by him..." Daniel revealed to them.
"WHAT?!" Ace was furious. Desmond was shocked.
"That's it...This time I'm killing him...." Raged Ace.
"Ace calm down....let's first explain the situation to these three...." Said Liana who was silent all along.
"Yeah she's right...let's dive into the past shall we?" Supported Davis, Amelia's dad.
"Here's what happened..." Started Lloyd.
