Ellen and Mason left the police station in silence, obviously overwhelmed by what they just learned. As they walked down the steps and toward their car, Ellen stole a glance at Mason's face, noticing the doubts and confusion that were written all over him. She herself could barely wrap her head around it—Hans, the man who had haunted their lives with threats and violence, claiming to be Mason's brother? It felt like a bad dream, something so bizarre it was hard to accept.
Still, when she thought about Hans' intense stare, she couldn't shake the feeling he was telling the truth. His anger and bitterness felt way too real to be made up. She thought back to her conversation with Philip long ago. He had mentioned about Luca, the man everyone believed was responsible for the robbery and brutal murders of Mason's family.
