Author's note: Okay, any of you TAC-goers might recognize this as one of my 'Write-that-scene' entries. Yeah, that was a long time ago, but I couldn't resist. Why now? I don't know. Shrugs
For everybody who reads this for the first time, this is the result of one of my cracked out, fan-girl theories, namely that Bogey is Alexander Paine's son.
My 'proof'? Just that Paine, Bogey and Samantha have a few points in common.
The hair. Black messy and with unnatural highlights.
Sheer arrogance
Their choice of clothes (Black with red details.)
The eye color of Samantha and Bogey's both purple.
Yeah, completely cracked out, but hey, it gives me stuff to write.
Disclaimer: A.T.O.M. And it's characters don't belong to me.
Lost and Found
Paine was sitting in
his cell, some files in his hand. For being a top-priority prisoner,
he got them quite easily...
Birth-certificates.
It had been
brewing for a long while, and now he was more then ready to
investigate something that had been pushed to the background: The
death of his second child, Philip.
Paine sighed as he remembered
that day. It started out so lovely. His girlfriend, Kiyuki Sano, was
in labor, as a nervous dad, he was pacing up and down in the waiting
room. Sebastian and his pregnant wife sitting down and trying to calm
him.
"C'mon, Alex, I'm sure everything is fine."
Sebastian tried, but that didn't calm him down.
"But what if
it's not? She's in there for a long while, what if there are
complications? What if some thing's wrong?"
"There's
nothing wrong, ah, there's the nurse." Sebastian pointed at a
nurse coming out of the room, smiling.
"Alexander Paine?"
She asked, Alexander was at her side immediately. "Congratulations,
it's a boy AND a girl." She said.
"Twins?"
Alexander said, not believing his ears.
"No miracle it took
that long." It was Sebastian, but Alexander didn't hear it, all
he wanted was to see his children.
That was a wonderful moment, seeing those two babies lying there in those little plastic beds. The girl was awake and looking around with bright purple eyes, the boy was asleep, but according to the nurse, had the same color eyes.
But it didn't stay so euphoric. It quickly became clear
that Kiyuki not only favored the girl, she didn't want to have
anything to do with the boy. True, Kiyuki was a member of a proud
Japanese clan, and Philip made a bit of a weakish look, constantly
sleeping and being very quiet, but that didn't mean that he was
lesser then Samantha...
Then it happened.
Just five days after
their birth, a nurse came and told him that Philip died...
Sudden
Infant Death Syndrome, meaning he just... died, with no reason at
all. Alexander was broken, Kiyuki couldn't care less. She always
tried to cheer him up by telling they still had Samantha...
That
was a long while ago, and Paine still didn't buy it... The Sano clan
was known for ditching unwanted babies, even in the modern
days...
His whole world was slowly changing when he first met the
youngster. Bogey was his name, and Paine hired him for a plane to
steal...
"So, what do you think?" Paine asked
the boy.
"I think you need to cut down on his raw meat."
Bogey joked, slightly smirking. "But let's get serious..."
The teen looked at him with those purple eyes, and all of a sudden
Paine had a flashback.
"He's got his mother's
eyes..."
"Yeah, to bad he has your chin..."
"Hey,
you still there?" Bogey asked him, Paine just nodded and they
continued the plan.
A few days ago, he met this "Bogey" Again, in the recreational area of the prison. This time Paine was willing to investigate further.
"What do you want?"
Bogey asked, sitting on a dingy wooden bench. Paine just approached
him and pulled some blue hairs from his head. "What was that
for?!" Bogey yelled, his eyes slightly teary.
"This
isn't dye... when did you get this?"
"I dunno... around
my 18th birthday... why do you want to know?" Bogey was still
slightly offended by those hairs being ripped out.
"And when
were you born?"
"I... I don't know exactly..." All
of a sudden Bogey didn't look mad anymore, he looked rather
sad.
"C'mon, someone with your ego that doesn't know his
birthday?"
"You wanna know?! I celebrate it at May 17th,
the day I was found in a trash container!" Bogey shouted,
clearly upset. "Why would you care anyway, my mom sure
didn't..." With that he turned around and left, tears in his
eyes.
May 17th... that was the exact same day Philip died
(Or not, the way things looked now.) And now he had gotten Bogey's
birth certificate...
Brian Logey
Found on May 17th in a
container near Blue Saints Alley
Birth Parents unknown
It
all fitted, the eyes, the hair, the date, and Blue Saints Alley was
just two blocks away from the hospital.
"Stupid Bitch..."
Paine muttered, he could just imagine the filthy rich Kiyuki bribing
a nurse to 'Kill' a baby. But the nurse is to considerate and dumps
the baby in a container instead... The baby was found and grew up to
be a young criminal... Just like his father. There was a guard,
signaling he could get out for an hour or so. Once in the courtyard,
Paine took a deep sigh and approached Bo... no, Philip, to him, Bogey
would now forever be named Philip.
