14AmyChan: okay, this takes place around the time of the last chapter. Here's the question(s):
What was Loic like as a child?
Why was loic abusive?
How did loic treat candace?
How did he treat linda?
How did he treat Phineas?
Does he show any remorse?
What was Loic's motive for abusing linda, candace, and phineas? did he abuse candace? what did he think of his family?
14AmyChan: D:( either way, that's an angry face, because I could not bring myself to write this chapter for the longest time. I want to bash on him, but the number of questions were so overwhelming! Therefore, next time, if anyone has a question, please limit it to one or two.
Loic: Amy doesn't own—
Doofenshmirtz: *pushes Loic off stage* she doesn't own Lindona, who is mentioned in this chapter. The rest of this chapter is pretty much hers.
14AmyChan: thanks, Doof~!
Doofenshmirtz: anytime! Now, back to taking over the Tri-State Area!
"So what's the deal with this guy?" an unsuspecting employee of the Quad State Area's Insane Asylum asked his predecessor as they walked together to the confinement of their next patient. His name was Clide, and he was obviously new. His mentor in the business did not, however, bat an eye.
"This man can be dangerous. Not only that, he's smart, so you might want to be careful," the elder of the two answered, his explanation doing little more than suiting himself. Clide, however, was not satisfied and wanted to demand an adequate answer.
"Why is he dangerous? Why is he smart?" the younger pressed as the two walked through the pristine halls. His instructor seemed reluctant to part with any information regarding this particular case, but after fifteen minutes of nonstop pressing, pleading, and careful speech maneuvering, Clide was rewarded with a few answers.
"No one really knows when he started to show the symptoms of insanity. Looking at his history, you could have said he was a normal kid in a normal home in a normal community. Just a normal boy with normal dreams. No one really knows what went wrong with him, or when his violent tendencies started to come out. The only thing that can really be said about that is he was a professional at hiding his true nature."
"But if he was so good at keeping violence at a minimum, who reported him?" Clide asked, keeping pace with his mentor easily. Such cases were not uncommon, where a person would snap for little to no reason at all; however, it seemed rare that someone would be caught in this state of mind before a murder.
"Well, he thought he was all that when he married hit pop star, Lindona. The two settled down and it took a couple of years and a kid before she saw what he really was," the elder explained.
"How come this didn't hit the news?" Clide wondered. Domestic violence—especially with a pop star—should have grabbed the attention of at least the media. Elder shoulders were shrugged as the two continued to walk.
"Mainly because of her temper tantrum with her record dealers. She dropped from the face of entertainment after that, and no one cared enough to keep tabs on her. And she seemed like she was keeping it a secret for some reason. He was probably threatening the safety of their daughter, as well as her mental state of mind."
"How?" Clide asked. This man seemed to make no sense whatsoever.
"He would congratulate her on finding the nearest source of trouble and telling him about it. He told her that she was helping to keep the peace, when in reality, he was just looking for some blackmail on his neighbors. Lindona soon found out, and that's when things got heated. A little while later, they had a son."
"How does that make any sense?" Clide wondered aloud. A family with those kind of tensions should not have been able to—oh.
"Has it caught up with you yet?" the elder asked, disgusted at what this patient had obviously done. Clide silently wondered why this man had not been put in prison sooner, and Lindona and her family in some kind of care facility.
"Yes, it has. But why did she not report him after that happened?" Clide asked.
"Probably to protect her daughter and newly born son. By now, she had figured out that he was messing with her daughter's head and had probably been fighting with him to put an end to it. Also by that time, this man had been placing large investments in some operation that had been strangely hushed up."
"What do you think he was doing?" Clide inquired.
"Based on the witness reports from last year, he was starting some kind of business. Most likely something illegal, but we know that some illegal drug activity has gone down quite a bit in certain areas of California."
"You think it was him?" Clide wondered as he looked ahead. Just a few meters away was the room in question. Before he could re-read the name plaque to remind himself exactly who it was they were talking about, his mentor resumed.
"It's only a speculation, but yes, that is what we think," the person's steely eyes could have bored a hole through the door, and Clide found himself officially in fear. "And he seemed to only want to use his son for profit. It seemed this man had no love or attatchments other than survival of the fittest."
"So his family meant literally nothing to him?" Clide asked, incredulous. He looked into the piercing blue eyes of his mentor and once more cowered away from her, frightened by how infuriated she seemed with simply talking about this man. It took a few moments before she calmed down enough to talk rationally.
"His lack of compassion and empathy puts him as a risk factor for society, and he's no doubt scheming for a way to get out and grab his revenge on those who stuck him here in the first place. If we want to keep those kids safe, we'll have to keep this man under lock and key and try to make him better."
"Do you think he ever will be better? Better at life? Better at handling his anger? Better at being…well, human?" Clide wondered. He glanced up at his mentor, a steel glint in his eye.
"I hope so, Clide…" Amelia stated before leaving him in front of Loic Flynn's door. "I hope so…"
14AmyChan: okay, I am not answering ANY more question on Loic. I will repeat, I WILL NOT ANSWER ANY MORE QUESTIONS ON LOIC! There. Please leave your review in the box while I go and chill out.
