There he was, in front of us, Luce Lenon. And boy did he look like a replica of Ace, only older. I could see that both Scar and Mike were staring at him so I cleared my throat and introduced us.
"Sir, I am Jack Ritz and this is Scarlett Mac and Mike Mac," I say and he just grunts. What the heck! "Unless you gotta machine that needs fixing you can get outta here," he says wiping his greasy hands on a rag and turns to walk away.
Then Mike finds his voice back. "We are friends of Ace. Do you know where he might be?" As soon as Mike says this Luce stops in his place.
"How will I know where that boy is? I haven't seen him in like forever" he shrugs. We knew that he knew something. It was very very long obvious.
"Sir, you have to tell us where he is, he is sick and he needs help. Please. Just tell us if you know anything" Mike pleads. I look at Scar and I knew she was about the burst. And then it happened.
We watch as Scar leaps on Luce and throws him to the floor. "Now listen here you shithead, you tell us where our friend is and I will not break your face right now." She says holding him by the neck.
And the look on Luce's said it all. He was scared. He stuttered for a while and Scar left him and stood again and helping him stand too. After all, Scar isn't bad, she is a softy!!!
"He is here." He finally says after drinking water and whining like a kid. "Here like in here?" Mike asks. "Come with me," he says and he goes to the back the garage. It opened to a place which seemed like his house. He took us to a room on the top on the second floor.
"Kid told me not to tell anyone. After all these years he came back to me. I had to keep my word." He says and we nod understandingly. "He probably is asleep. The meds he takes knocks him out a lot" Luce says and heads back down.
I look a Scar. She was sitting in a stool near a window looking out. I look at Mike and he nods and opens the door. We both went in first not wanting to force Scar to come in.
We went to a room with white walls, and a bed in the middle. Clothes were dumped in one corner and a desk was near the window. And there he was. He didn't hear us because he had his headphone on.
Now even Mike froze in his tracks so I walked up to Ace and shook his shoulders.
He turned and looked from me to Mike in pure shock. And sorrow and guilt. It was just too many emotions. Before I could process it Mike leaped forward and slapped Ace across the face.
"That's for leaving us, you bastard" Mike shouted at him and slapped him again. " That's for not fucking telling us about it," Mike said and I pulled him back before he could hit again.
Ace just stood there looking down at the floor. Mike soon pushed me back and pulled Ace into a bone-crushing hug.
"We are family you asshole! We don't leave when a problem comes. We stick together and get through it together. What did you even think leaving like that, leaving us with nothing but a goddam letter." Mike scolded him and I could see Ace's face glistening with tears.
" I am sorry! I am so sorry. I just couldn't think of anything else. I had to go away" Ace said in a low voice. "Just shut up," Mike said and let go of him.
Then Ace looked at me and I went and hugged him too. "So you somehow bought them to me huh sunshine," Ace said and I chuckled. "You shouldn't have left you idiot! Worst decision ever!" I say letting go of him.
Then Ace looks at us and we know what he was about to ask. "Outside, she couldn't come in," I say and he nods and heads out.
