Chapter 30

Luke kicked himself. He had let his guard down. He had allowed himself to celebrate his victory over Josie which almost got him caught by some guy, some doctor. Some doctor who looked familiar, and whose name sounded familiar, too. There was something about him that rubbed Luke the wrong way. But he didn’t have time to worry about that now.

Who was this voice in the shadows? Why was Josie, who never seemed afraid of anything and had the backing of some pretty horrifying people herself, terrified of this person she had never seen? It made no sense to Luke. He needed to focus his attention, all his attention, on finding out who this person was and putting an end to whatever he was trying to do.

At this point, Luke’s anger was bordering on out of control. He was sick of all the people he was forced to surround himself with and their inability to keep pace with him. Every single time in every situation, they proved they didn’t have the brain power to get things done right. Maybe they were doing things right in their worlds, but not in his. And his world was always right.

Now he was in the unusual situation of being a step behind someone. Some voice. Some shadow. And this made his blood boil.

Luke headed toward a seat in the dark parking structure. He needed to sit for one second and think. He needed to figure out how to get that step back and then get ahead.

He didn’t make it to his seat before his head began to spin with an uncontrollable rage he hadn’t experienced since he had felt trapped by his parents. He had successfully kept this rage dormant for years. But now it was back, and he could not stop it. He wasn’t sure he wanted to.

His parents. Hadn’t Kenji said he knew what Luke had done to his parents? How could he? No one knew. No one would ever know. They couldn’t. He wouldn’t allow it.

Then why had he said it? Was it just a way to get Luke to give Kenji what he wanted? Just another trick of The Master? It wasn’t like Kenji to lie. He always used the truth to get what he wanted. That meant he knew, and he probably wasn’t the only one.

Luke needed to sit down. He needed to regroup, to clear his mind. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t. He could see his parents, their helpless bodies trapped. He could hear them. He could actually hear them.

“Luke. You’re a failure. A loser. Did you think you could always keep us hidden? Did you think no one would figure out where we were?” Luke’s father said to him. It was a sound he hadn’t heard for years and one he knew he would never hear again. So, why was he hearing it now?

“What are you doing here? How, how did you get out?”

“It was simple, honey.” Now his mother was here, too.
