I ran into the room where Ruvik and Detective Castellanos were. Ruvik was holding Castellanos up by his neck, choking him. I gasped and pushed Ruvik down onto the floor. "Sebastian!" Joseph ran to Seb's side and kneeled down to make sure that he was okay. Ruvik stood up and looked into my eyes. "What was that for?" His voice made me tremble. It sounded the same as before, but added with a hint of anger. "I wasn't going to just stand by as you murdered another person." His eyes widened and he suddenly looked depressed. "You know about my 'projects'?" I nodded and yelled at him loudly as Connelly, Seb and Joe watched. "How could you just kill your own f*cking parents and perform experiments on people while they're conscious, so that they're allowed to feel the pain?! You're a sick b*stard Ruvik! You deserve to just f*cking die!" I ran out of the room in tears. The other three guys stared at Ruvik in disappointment. Connelly walked out of the room to try and calm me down. I was over-emotional, especially in situations such as this one.
"Hey... you okay?" Connelly startled me so I gasped and then I nodded. "Yeah... I'm just angry because I was so blind... He doesn't really care about me. He just wanted someone to be on his side." I felt a couple tears fall down my cheeks. Connelly sat beside me on the floor and placed his hand on top of mine. "Don't blame yourself. He fooled all of us." He rubbed his thumb on the back of my hand and smiled warmly at me. "Why are you being so nice to me?" I wasn't used to people being so kind. I never really had any friends back home and I was always being made fun of. For being a bookworm. For being so involved in school. The bullying numbed me to any harsh comments. If someone said something mean to me now, I would be a tiny bit hurt, but definitely not as insulted as I should be. "Why wouldn't I be nice? You deserve it. You're a beautiful girl and you told Ruben what he needed to hear. I could never have done that myself." I nodded. "I hate him so much now." Connelly sighed. "I always have. I always thought he was the one behind everything, but no one believed me." He turned to look into my eyes, and that was when I felt something. A spark, maybe?..
