Bruce’s POV
.
“But… but that’s impossible,” Austin said, not believing the part that I just said. “Lucas was with them, right?”
“And he is the one who did it as per CCTV footage,” I said, still having a hard time absorbing everything.
“That’s… that’s impossible.” Joshua opened his mouth. “Everyone knows that…
“Not everyone, Joshua. Not Brandon. He knew all of us from just last seven years, and right now, I can’t imagine what could be going on in his mind.” I cleared his point. How could Lucas do this?
Or did someone else make him do this?
As far as I knew, he didn’t have any weakness, so there was no chance that he could have done this under someone’s order.
“Is Lucas alive?”
“That… that is still a question for now.”, I muttered. “Get back to the packhouse, QUICK,” I ordered, and my eyes landed on Iris, who looked quite happy with this news. She had no idea what was waiting for her. “And you will come with me,” I said and grabbed Brandon’s car keys from Joshua.
I sat in the driver's seat while Iris sat beside me.
“Beta Bruce, what if Boss’s mood will be something unexpected?” Xander asked in tension.
“Then, just RUN, and you fail, then use Sophia’s name to save yourself from his temper,” I suggested, not knowing what about his unpredictable mood. The last time when Abby went missing, he was ready to kill all the hunters, but Uncle Logan suggested concentrating on his career and planning everything wisely. This time, neither he had to focus on his career nor plan anything. He knew everything about us, and he wouldn’t waste a second killing us if he would be thinking that we were behind everything.
I drove the car toward the packhouse.
Brandon told all of us how Iris had kidnapped Martha’s grandson and was blackmailing her into poisoning his Dad’s food. Hell, she was the reason behind the regular sickness, of uncle Logan. But thankfully, the PI that Brandon had appointed to find out about Martha’s grandson without anyone’s knowledge, and thankfully he finally located the place where that boy was when we were discussing how he had planned just to kidnap Oliver to buy some time and divert Iris's mind. The plan was simple and straight that when swapping his place with Joshua when our SUV passed the red light while his car was stuck for a while because of the red light. And then he would return to Sophia, asking her not to leave with Caroline.
I didn’t know how he was going to make up the rest of the things with her, but for the first time, he expressed on his own that he couldn’t live without them because by reaching this point that he realized that he just coldn’t go back to his earlier life even if he wanted to.
