The man reaches his apartment next day where he lives together with his roommate Dennis. Dennis was an American, fairly styled and had a quite darker skin tone.
"Tough day today, Lucas?", Dennis says.
"Yeah, went on a crime scene. This whole trying to be detective thing is getting me.", Lucas says.
"So.... you finally wanna be a detective?"
"Not really, I was a detective only in that period of time. Nothing's changed. I'm still that dusty but young Lucas who's still studying to be a 'Lawyer' my mother thought I'd be"
"You know being a Lawyer really doesn't suit you, I doubt you'd ever be that serious to be a lawyer. I personally think you should ditch the idea, not gonna lie"
"Can't"
"You yourself know you'd be better off being a detective. You have seriously good deduction skill, Lucas. I hate to say this but even your old man would agree"
"Do not talk about that man. A criminal would not be my father. He was a disgrace for a detective killing someone innocent, he brought it to himself"
"Don't you think you should at least try to see the actual truth behind the matter? Why he did all of these things"
*Hanging his coat on the wall* "Every secret of him perished with my mother, I don't have any clue and god knows where he is now, but I'm pretty sure that damn geezer is still alive"
"Well...."
"It's alright Dennis, you don't need to worry about me. I'll be a decent earning lawyer and go on with my usual life"
"If you don't like him, then why do you still keep that badge of your father inside your shelf?"
"Hope.. Dennis.. Hope, I just hope he's decent enough for me to keep this badge"
"I-"
"Forget that, what ya reading?"
"Sherlock, pretty smart, I'll give you that"
"You know that's all fiction right? Such a detective doesn't exist"
"Not yet..., Such a detective doesn't exist.... yet"
"Anyways, what's for breakfast?"
"Nothing really.. You gotta cook up something mate"
"Yeah sure"
Lucas Heads to the kitchen to make something for himself.
"Hey Lucas..."
"What's up?"
"Why do you think those guys killed the priest?"
"Probably someone from the Genesis, they've been doing that a lot these days"
"The Genesis? That Satanist group?"
"Yeah, been killing around various religious people around the town, the cops keep catching those people"
"But why keep the little boy alive?"
"To strike terror perhaps... Who cares anyways?" *with his mouth stuffed*
"Yeah right..."
"I'm tired, I'll take a nap", says Lucas after finishing his meal.
"Yeah buddy, I'll just go on and check what's on the news"
"Propagandas I presume"
"I... won't deny that"
"Well I'm off, see ya around mate"
Lucas goes to his bed and starts dozing off
Suddenly a series of clips of memories start playing in his head.
"Lucas run-"
"He will never be a detective like you"
"Look into my eyes Lucas"
"You're disappointing"
"Do you wanna taste wine, Lucas?"
"I had to do it, my son"
"Your mom is dead, Lucas"
"Lucas Lucas Lucas Lucas....." He keeps hearing all over his head
Lucas suddenly wakes up gasping and with a headache . He then gets up his bed and heads towards the kitchen.
"Where the hell is Dennis?" he mutters to himself.
Lucas calls Dennis. He hears a buzz only to find out Dennis has left his phone home.
"This idiot..."
Just then, Dennis comes rushing.
"LUCAS, THAT KID!!"
"What kid? Where in the world were you Dennis? You didn't even take your phone with you"
"The one from the church. I'll tell you everything later"
"What about him?"
"Turn on the TV Lucas"
Lucas turns on the TV only to see something he thought he'd never see.
The kid was yet again found in a murder scene but this time with a knife in his hand and blood all over his clothes and bloodshot eyes.
Suddenly Lucas receives a text from an unknown number: "You fell right into that trap we set up, detective. Can't believe it"
"I can't believe it", says Lucas, "I've been lured and set up"
"What's up Lucas?" Dennis says confusingly
"The murder of the priest, they knew that I would be passing by then and knew I'd interact with it"
"How is that even possible? Why would they want you anyway?"
"My father Dennis, my father. It's the curse of all household, your father's activity will sure one day get to you. That damn geezer didn't even leave my life alone"
"What do we do now?"
"Go to those fake cops, they might have something to tell us"
They rush to the police station. As soon as they reach there. They ask where the cells of those cops were but they receive one horrifying news.
The fake cops had bit their tongue and killed themselves.
Soon as the information is revealed, Lucas receives another text message:
"You think I'm stupid or some shit?"
Then another message pops up "Meet me behind the same damn church you went two days ago at tomorrow morning. No weapons, no allies. Just you and me, I'll hope to see you"
"Dennis, bring my coat and hat from the car. I guess it is time to make my old guy proud for once"
"What are you gonna do, Lucas?"
"Finish what he started".
Lucas smirks.
