A short term later..
Marco-
“Hey bro I’m happy to see you made it out alright! You look great I guess Cc has taken really good care of you.”
“You must be Cc, it’s really nice to meet you and thanks for taking care of my best friend for me.”
Lucina
“Hehehe it’s nice to meet you too and hey it’s more like he’s been taking care of me the majority of this trip.”
Val-
“Okay no time to waste let’s get out of here.”
“Marco you got another location for us or do you want to go with one cc found?”
Marco-
“Ehat one did you pick out cc?”
“I picked a rental property a state over that was previously owned by a couple that were great grandparents and they rent it out to quiet couples or families.”
Lucina
“I found a pay by day rental property in a secluded area that’s around 112 miles from here. I like your idea better and if anything we can backtrack and go to the other option.”
“Btw val said i could ask you since you would know.. is anyone that you guys were involved with associated to anyone in the feds office?”
Marcos
“Uh nog that I know of.. but they did get a connection in the governor’s office recently..”
I zipped my head back to look at him
Lucina
“Are you referring to Dsniel Aris?”
“Is he the connection?”
Marco
“You know him?”
“Yeah it’s him.”
Lucina
“This wasn’t a coincidence..”
Val
“Talk to me bsby what’s wrong how fo you know him?”
Lucina-
“Are you guys associated with anyone with these names
- Debbie Aris
- Zack Willams
- Nathaniel Rosa
- Salice Aris
- Megsn Teran
- Brandon Macavoi
Any of them?
Marco
“Yeah.. all of the Aris family and Zach as well. The other names don’t ring any bells but the rest yeah.. why?”
Val
“Baby talk to me?”
Lucina
“In high school while I was interning for a program Zach, Brandon and Nathaniel were also working there at that time and I was sexually assaukted by someone there.. i was never entirely sure because I was cornered in an office room and assaulted from behind.. I never saw his face but I was absolutely certain otherwise that it was Daniel Aris… and I had a strong feeling that the rest of them knew and they were lookout’s for him.. I never could prove it andvi wasn’t confident enough to report it I only got checked and treated just in case the night it happened and instead “i came down with something” on the last week of the program it expired and I went back to school the fall and switched my field major and nog long after I met Van that secured me a position at the start of my career with his firm.. that if it’s correct may have been a brother girm in association with that original law fitm before they changed their name.. Debbie and Megan have been publicly upset with my success rate as a legal assistant and advocate and their hatred has been anything but quiet and Van requested my presence at your meeting last minute like he called me at home at 3 jn the morning saying it was urgent and he really needed me because the other advocate scheduled to go had canceled on him.. “
Marco
“Omg cc I’m so sorry.. that’s beyond f****d up..”
Val
“… baby I promise you anyone that drsgged you into this mess or thst has hurt you will feel the full suffering of my wrath.. i found the connection from that too btw.. “
Lucina
“What’s the connection..?”
Val
“I’m sorry I didn’t remember before beautiful… “
“I was an x-ray technician for a while at the hospital and I was there the night you came in.. they called up on my floor saying they needed a technician for a full workup and a kit.. in X-ray it means chest X-ray, Ct scan and a kit is a preparation thing for iv dye for specific ct scanning.. I got sent to your room with the equipment and I remember asking you if you were feeling okay and what was causing you pain or discomfort and you only said you were sck to stomach and didn’t want the kit because you were scared.. i just tried to reassure you I wouldn’t let anything bad happen while I was there with you not without having every bit of backup in hospital and I had to scan your bracelet and it came up with the abbreviation for an assault kit… and I realized I was sent to wrong room and instead just paged the right floor and i stayed with you and just tried to comfort you and see if you wanted to give me the bedside confession of what happened to you.. it took you a little while but told me that it was Daniel Aris’s nephew.. that you would recognize his cologne anywhere and the awkwardness of his hands… he made you coffee every morning and he would hand it too you and he made you feel awkward and gross.. because I knew a couple of his nephews I tracked him down after work and beat the f*****g hell out of him… he was in coma for about 4 and hskf weeks and afterwards he just was never the same mentally and I did 2 years in jail for assault and battery after that Daniel Aris tried me himself in court…
