Maureen's Office, The Runnels Building, Denver, Colorado....
Dr. Maureen Welch had been shocked when she got a call from both Colin Winters and Julia Rawsone about Hadrian coming in for an appointment. She'd been even more shocked to find out they were also joining him. The three of them shuffled into her office, Julia holding one arm and Colin doing a bit of the heavy lifting as far as Hadrian had been concerned. From the looks of him, Maureen could tell that he'd been unconscious during much of the traveling. She stood in her navy blue blazer and pant suit with her arms folded across her chest confused as to why they'd brought him in this way. She'd been even more confused as to why Colin Winters had been in attendance when he'd already missed several of his own appointments with her.
"Colin, Julia?" said Maureen. "What brings you by...and why pray tell is Hadrian unconscious?"
"He had another episode." replied Julia. "This time it was bad...I accidentally slapped him and he ran out of the house he was so upset and I couldn't calm him down he almost got hit by a car, but Colin showed up and..."
"And I tackled him to the ground." added Colin.
"When that happened Hadrian was furious and he started shouting at him angrily, but he sounded like a little kid." continued Julia.
"He ended up revealing what I had long suspected, but never had the guts to do anything about." continued Colin feeling lower than dirt as he spoke.
Julia took a deep breath and met Maureen's gaze.
"Maureen, I believe the reason for Hadrian's condition is connected to the fact that he was sexually assaulted by his father's mistress when he was a boy." she said finally.
"WHAT!?" asked Maureen in disbelief before turning to Mr. Winters. "Colin, is this true?"
"It's true." he replied sadly. "I was quite inept at being a father in my early years...I didn't even know it happened until she threw it in my face...but I thought she meant that she had done it when he was older not when...oh what have I done...?"
Maureen had known enough about Colin to know that he was at least trying to make amends with his son, for all the good it did him.
"Alright." she said taking charge almost immediately. "Let's get him into a chair and possibly something to hold him in place, because I have a feeling he isn't going to be too happy once he awakens."
Julia looked at her for a moment in confusion.
"Hey, I'm not taking the chance of encountering Lonnie again." she said.
Julia knew right then what she meant and nodded in agreement, especially after getting Alexei Bortnik thrown in jail.
"With any luck it'll either be Hadrian or Adrian on the other side of his consciousness." said Maureen.
Colin assisted Maureen in restraining Hadrian as the younger Rawsone began to regain consciousness.
Julia was quite terrified of what would happen next as she watched her husband's eyes open.
"Where the fuck am I?" growled a voice that everyone in the room recognized to have been a very angry Lonnie.
His dark eyes seemed to blaze in rage as he glared at them all.
"Lonnie." said Maureen knowing all too well how fortunate she was that he was tied up.
"That's my name, don't wear it out." he replied with an annoyed expression.
He took a moment to look around the room.
"Well, look what we got here, Sweetness, The Cheating Whore, And The Bastard." he said leaning back in the chair. "Where the fuck is Lex?"
"Your little boyfriend is in jail where he belongs." piped Julia disgusted that Lonnie of all people had returned.
"Somebody talking to you whore?, surprised you haven run off to fuck on Gary by now." replied Lonnie.
Maureen and Colin looked over at Julia in shock.
"Oh...they didn't know you were still fucking Hadrian's best friend behind his back." said Lonnie.
"Shut up!" growled Julia. "Why don't you go away you sick bastard so I can speak with my real husband."
"What for?" asked Lonnie. "I find this little get together to be quite entertaining, besides your boy Hadrian is taking a bit of a nap as we speak courtesy of his dear ol' bastard."
"T-That's enough out of you." said Colin attempting to put his foot down.
"Oh we've only just begun old man." replied Lonnie amused that he thought he had a right to speak to him. "By the way, Rita use to scream loud enough to break glass when I fucked her....she seemed to think my dick's bigger than yours, begged for it for hours."
Colin turned pale. The last thing he needed was intimate details about his son and his former lover.
"Lonnie stop being an ass." said Maureen coming into the conversation at last.
"Mmmm speaking of ass, you look to have a nice one." he said looking her over as if she'd been a piece of meat and he a starving dog. "I bet I can make you scream for hours."
"Knock it off." said Maureen.
"Have you no shame?" asked Colin confused as his wife was standing right there.
"You think I give a fuck about the whore?" asked Lonnie apparently amused. "Speaking of whore, how's step-mommy...she fuckable?"
Colin balled his fists and struck Lonnie across the face which only made the arrogant jerk smile.
"Now that's more like it." he howled. "Show the women how you really use to beat me, Pop....only this time I ain't eight years old."
Colin felt shame wash through him as he looked into the enraged dark eyes of his eldest son.
"Lonnie...we need to ask you a few questions." said Maureen.
"And I need a blonde hot and wet on the end of my cock." he said rolling his eyes. "Can't always get what we want now can we?"
"Lonnie don't be difficult." said Maureen evenly. "Hadrian is having a good deal of trouble adjusting to some of the things he's learned about himself from his past and you are not making it any better."
"Like I give a shit about what he's going through." muttered Lonnie. "Son of a bitch steals my life and I'm suppose to be forthcoming?"
"What do you mean?" asked Julia confused.
"Oh." said Lonnie with a grin. "You don't know."
"Lonnie...don't." said Colin feeling a good deal of sadness swell up inside him.
"What is it that we don't know Lonnie, tell us." insisted Maureen.
"Why don't you tell them what you did, old man." said Lonnie glaring at Colin. "How this is all your fault and I'm not just talking about Rita's tendency to fascinate with young cock."
"Colin?" asked Julia seemingly upset. "What did you do?"
Colin sighed sadly realizing he had no other choice.
"Hadrian has no idea of the truth, and I would like for it to remain that way." he said. "What Mildred and I did, we thought it was for the best you see...he wouldn't have recovered otherwise and losing them both wasn't an option for us."
"Losing both?" asked Maureen with an arched brow. "What does that mean?"
"Hadrian, isn't the only child from my first marriage." admitted Colin. "Mildred and I had two sons."
"Lonnie." said Maureen recalling something of Hadrian telling her about his dead older brother.
"Hadrian was the eldest and still is." explained Colin. "Lonnie did exist in this world at one point, in fact he was born Phelan Teon Rawsone."
Lonnie smirked as he heard the full name of the son that had been lowered into his grave before time.
"Breaks your heart doesn't it?" he said with a smirk.
"Rian and Lonnie were thick as thieves." continued Colin as tears began to stream down his cheeks. "From the very moment they were born."
Julia seemed to catch on.
"Twins?" she said shocked by this revelation about her husband. "Hadrian had a twin brother?"
Colin nodded.
"They were together for much of their early years until they reached the age of five just shy of their sixth birthday." continued the elder Rawsone.
"And tell them why little Phelan never reached the age of six." said Lonnie intently listening to the conversation.
Both women had turned their attention back to Colin whom had not been able to hold back his tears in this instant.
"He died as a result of an accident that I caused." admitted Colin. "He wasn't...he'd been so terrified of my driving and the fight my wife and I were having that he was desperate to hold on to Hadrian's hand for comfort and a shard of the window glass..."
Lonnie watched as Colin broke down.
"Hadrian was ill afterward, it's like he didn't have the will to live and we made the decision to pretend that Phelan didn't exist for his sake." continued Colin.
"Well, what an ending for a five year old am I right?" he said mocking the sadness of his father and the women.
Julia had tears in her eyes as she realized what might have been the root cause of Hadrian's agony from childhood. He had a twin brother. He'd been a twinless twin. His devotion to Sam made so much more sense as he knew what it was like to have a twin.
"Oh Hadrian." she said realizing how little she knew of the man she married.
He'd gone through so much in his past and she was upset about him not shedding a few tears when their only son had been stillborn. She couldn't imagine what that must have been like for him as she knew he had the desire to name the boy after his deceased brother.
"That's why he wanted to name him Phelan." said Julia outloud. It had occurred to her that them losing the baby was like Hadrian losing his baby brother all over again.
Colin and Maureen turned to face her.
"He may not have remembered having a twin, but he had it in him to honor him in some way." said Julia sadly. "Poor Hadrian, what have I done?
Lonnie seemed to be highly amused.
"Oh cheer up whore, at least you have Gary to keep you warm at night." he replied.
"Hadrian's brother being dead still doesn't explain you." said Julia annoyed.
"Oh but doesn't it?" asked Lonnie. "Sad as the story is...perhaps it was a means of coping with the loss, imaginary friend and all that."
"All that time." said Colin in shock. "I thought he...it was you...he tried to tell us it was you whom had caused all that trouble at school and so forth."
"Ding ding ding." said Lonnie with a smirk. "How about a prize for the absentee father?"
"Shut up." growled Colin in annoyance.
"I would like to speak with Hadrian please." said Maureen taking over the conversation again.
"As I said, I would like a blond on the end of my cock." replied Lonnie. "Good ol' doc's not available for the time being....now get these damn ropes off me and get out of my way."
"Why so you can get back to screwing your twisted little boyfriend?" growled Julia with her arms folded across her chest.
"Are you still jealous that his pussy gets wetter than yours?" snapped Lonnie in return.
Julia narrowed her eyes at him.
"What...boyfriend?" asked Colin in shock.
"Hadrian is.." began Maureen trying to find the right word. "Bisexual?"
Lonnie rolled his eyes.
"Let's clear this up right now, I got a thing for tight wet pussy and Lex just happens to have the tightest I've been in, do with that what you will." he replied in a smug tone.
"You're vulgar a sick bastard." said Julia rolling her eyes.
"I don't' dispute that." replied Lonnie. "Now let me go an my way and we won't have an problems."
"Not a chance." replied Julia getting in his face.
Lonnie smirked although one could tell he'd been annoyed.
"You don't want to try me bitch." he replied. "You're already on my shit list for getting Lex thrown in jail."
"And you're on mine for hijacking my husband's life." growled Julia.
"Like I give a fuck." replied Lonnie enraged.
The three of them had begun to try and wait out the situation standing on the opposite side of the room only for Lonnie to cleverly unbind himself and break the chair he was sitting in across Colin's back before he managed to slip out the window and rush out of the building leaving the women to chase after him.
"Damn it!" shouted Julia. "We've lost him!"
Maureen sighed.
"We'll find him again." she said. "This time we know what we're up against."
Lonnie slipped out of view and managed to commandeer Colin's car in the process after having swiped the older Rawsone's keys during their exchange. His mind once more traveled back to Alexei Bortnik and the fact that he had to put on a show to get him out of jail.
Once more Lonnie was in the driver seat and there was no way he was going to allow Julia Rawsone or anyone else to put an end to his high ride.
