Chapter Fourteen: Finding the Enemy

Trevor

Trevor grabbed Larisa as she tried to rush forward to help Luke. “Let him do it. If Seneel fights, you don’t need to be in the way.”

He held her against him and could feel the pulse in her neck where his hand lingered on her shoulder and brushed her neck. She didn’t struggle, but by her elevated heart rate, he could tell that she really wanted to.

Dr. Seneel didn’t put up much of a fight, and it was only moments before Luke had him on his feet and shoving him along behind a building and out of view. He and Larisa hurried after them.

“Where is she?” Luke demanded from where he had Seneel pinned up against the back of the building.

“She’s fine, she’s fine.”

“I didn’t ask you if she was fine, I asked you where she was.”

The doctor looked like he was somewhere between bursting into tears and balling up his fists. “You don’t understand.”

“You’re damned right I don’t. They kidnapped my wife and baby, and I want to know where they are.”

Larisa surged forward and stood next to Luke. “Why? Why did you betray us like this?”

“Betray you? I have never betrayed you. Get your hotheaded brother off me, and I’ll tell you everything.”

Luke was having none of it. He pushed up against Seneel harder. “No dice, buddy. Where’s my wife?”

“Luke, stop. Back up and give him room to breathe.”

Trevor moved forward. “She’s right. Let Seneel tell you what he wants. It might make it quicker to find Sarah.”

With a sound of disgust, Luke shoved against Seneel again before he let go. “Talk.”

Seneel straightened his shirt. “The man who runs these people is your half brother.”

“Dray, yeah, I know.”

The doctor frowned. “How did you know?”

“It doesn’t matter,” Trevor answered. “Just get on with the story.” He could see both Luke and Larisa losing patience, quickly.

“He only recently found out who his father is. And the girl. Their mother died, and they found out when going through her belongings. While Reva took the news in stride, Dray did not. He started this army of sorts to overthrow the Sacred Gardens and take everything that was your father’s.”

“What the hell does this have to do with Sarah?” Luke roared. Larisa shushed him to keep it down.

“Reva betrayed her brother and tried to reach your father first. Neither had heard of his passing. She was going to warn him of her brother’s imminent invasion, so he had time to prepare and save lives. Her boat sank, as you know, and then she found out that your father was gone and you were king.” He gestured to Luke.

“And?” Larisa prodded.

“She left to come back here and tell Dray that there was no one to enact revenge on, because you, and your sister, were as innocent as they were. The sins of the parents did not need to extend to the offspring.”

Trevor frowned. “But Dray sent his men to find Reva.”

“He did,” Seneel replied, “because that was before she reached her brother to tell him of Ardec’s passing.
