I tried calling Lucas.
The phone rang.
And rang.
And rang.
...Of course he wouldn't answer, huh.
But when the call was just about to end, he miraculously picked up.
"What is it? I'm busy."
Busy partying by the sounds coming from his side.
"B..ro...ther..." Damn, I can't talk well.
"Who are you calling brother. If it's nothing I'm hanging up. Don't ever call me again."
"H-elp." I said softly.
"What?"
"He...lp... bro...ther..." I repeated. Damn. Why do you have to make me repeat myself... It's taking up all my remaining energy just to let my voice out.
And Lucas remained silent for awhile.
Damn it! I knew I shouldn't have called you.
Haa. I hung up.
I then tried calling another number.
A task-related person. Jason Wang... Amelia's old friend.
Though I say friend, more like... an acquaintance?
They're not really close.
Rather, Amelia hadn't been that close to anyone.
She had her... circumstances, after all.
