Chapter 22 - Truth or Lies?

After a while, Chester saw the doctor go to the bathroom.

C: Excuse me for a moment, I have to go to the toilet.

Chester said, he finished drinking his drink so he got up and went to the doctor. He went inside and saw the doctor washing his hands, he approached him from the other side.

C: You think I didn't notice you following me. What do you want from me?

Dr: I waited a moment for you to be alone.

C: Why? Do you want to kill me or do you have something else planned?

Dr: If I wanted to kill you I could have done it a long time ago, I just wanted to talk to you alone.

C: What do you want?

Dr: It's about Max.

C: Listen, I don't want to know or hear anything if it's about him, I'm tired of all kinds of nonsense and problems.

He turned towards the exit and started walking, opened the door ...

Dr: I think Max is involved in your father's death.

When Chester heard this, he closed the door and approached him.

C: What do you know about my father or Max?! Who are you?! What do you want from me?!

Dr: Your father was the leader and founder of the Rebellion group. I worked for him for a while until I retired because of my family. Me and your father were like brothers no one could do anything to us we were the strongest. When I retired and left the group I continued to live my life as a doctor and take care of other people who needed help. My older brother continued instead of me, I was still as an informant, I shared the information they wanted to know. That night when your father was killed he found out something but I don't know what. They had a meeting 2 hours before the incident and he even called me but I couldn't come on time because my wife gave birth and I was with her. When I left it was late, a large part of them were killed unfortunately and your father, some were captured and taken somewhere where no one knows. My brother was arrested, I don't know if he's alive at all, but if he is, he certainly has more information to tell you and help you.

C: How can I believe that all this is true and not a lie?

The doctor approached to him step by step, Chester retreated until he arrived in one corner.

C: Get away from me I don't want to fight!

The doctor took a step close to him and looked at him for a second and then hugged him.

Dr: Live life while you are young when you grow old, a lot of surprises await you.

Chester was stiff for a moment when he heard those words.

C: Those words are familiar to me?!

A memory crossed his mind 12 years ago when his father came home with another friend. They all dined together before leaving he hugged him and said the same words.

C: Now I remember you, you are Joseph!

Dr.J: That's right.

He released him from his embrace.

Dr.J: Do you believe me now?

C: Yes, but how will we find your brother if you know nothing about him?

Dr.J: I'm not sure yet but we'll find a solution, now we'd better go before anyone suspects us. That beautiful girl is waiting for you there alone, go and have some fun kid.

Chester nodded and headed for the door.

Dr.J: Watch who you trust here.

He closed the door and went to Leila, sat down at the table and took the glass in his hand.

C: Sorry if you waited a long time, I ran into the doctor, so I asked him a few questions.

L: No problem.

They kept talking and drinking, Joseph was still in the bathroom talking on the phone.

Dr: J I finally managed to talk to him.

?: Were you alone?

Dr.J: Yes, it was unexpected but I managed to talk to him.

?: Good Go back to your place and keep doing what you've been doing so far.

He turned off the phone and put it in his bag, looked in the mirror and went outside. Not long after he left the door to one of the cabins opened. Joseph went to his desk, packed the things that were there and left. He walked past Chester who looked at him and nodded. It was quite late, a large number of them had already left, at least a few more remained, including Henry and his group.

L: It's pretty late, are we going or do you want to stay a little longer?

C: Let's go I don't want to stay still with this fool here.

They got up and went outside together, holding hands as they walked to their rooms. They reached the room where Leila was first, she was alone and did not share her room with anyone. They stopped and she opened the door.

C: Unfortunately, we have to separate here.

Leila looked at him and smiled, grabbed his arm and pulled him inside. She closed the door and started kissing him, after a while he stopped and started to take off his jacket and shirt and threw it on the floor. Leila looked at him and saw a lot of scars on his body, approached him and hugged him as she passed with the other hand on his scar which was from chest to stomach big.

C: Sorry you have to see all those scars.

L: Don't worry it's not a problem, as some say every scar on the body has its purpose.

She took his hand and headed to the bed ....
