Chapter 9 : Stolen
- « I didn't mean...it was not supposed to do that, I... I didn't do that it's not me I swear...please, it's not me » said Basil, sobbing while he was trying to explain himself.
Daphné raised from her sit and looked at him in the eyes.
- « Basil, your going to calm down and to explain this to us, what is it ? What the hell are you talking about and why are we here ? » Her voice was trying to be calm but her anxiety made it sound firm.
- « You stole our children ?! » exclaimed Pinocchio who seemed ready to hit Basil very hard in his face. Sabrina took him firmly by the arm to make him move back
- « It's not going to help so please let him talk ! »
Basil looked at them all. Their faces seemed...betrayed, worried and angry. He felt his heart beating faster and faster as he was trying to come to his senses.
Then he took a deep breath.
- « I can't aswer all your questions. I know what the Dome is, but I don't know why it's there. You know I'm a doctor now, not for long but I take my rôle very seriously. As a doctor I want everyone to have the chance to live a long and beautiful life. That's the reason why my works are based on the Everafters. Of course I don't want everybody to become immortal, it will be the chaos but ...look at the poor countries ! Children, mothers, fathers, friends, brothers and sisters are dying from cancers, HIV and other awful diseases. I invented a cure based on Fairy's essence. Fairies are the stongest Everafters and it could only worked with them. The process is simple, any Fairies who want to be helpful will be welcomed in a center, surrounded by a dome, a medical dome. The dome inhale the magic of the Fairies without harming them, without any consequences. Then, they are able to leave the center, thanks to the dome disappearance after three days. My research aren't known, I am the only one to be aware of its existence...or nearly the only one. » He eyed Mustardseed closely.
Everybody was stunned.
- « Then, someone stole your works huh ? » asked Daphné, breaking the silence.
Basil didn't get the chance to answer, Pinocchio was up again and he was looking at him. He seemed to be a little more calm.
- « What do you mean by 'nearly the only one' ? ».
Mustardseed moved awkwardly, his face was very pale as if he wasn't confortable with his announcement :
- « I am the only one to know about that...Basil needed a fairy to test his works so he came to me and I said yes because it was a beatiful idea, really, I have no idea how it was stolen. »
- « Why didn't you tell us about that, Base? » asked Sabrina
- « I would have tell you about that some day but not before being sure about its efficiency... »
Veronica took her son by the arm, he was sheepish so she smiled at him warmly.
- « Come on, let's get something to drink, it will help us figure out what will follow. » Then she took Basil's face in her two hands «You don't have to feel guilty, I am very proud of you, of your altruism. Eberything is gonna be okay. »
The young man nodded and smiled and followed his mother outside.
- « I think mom is right ! Come on guys, we're Grimms and we have a mystery to solve ! » exclaimed Daphné as if her brother's revelations had sucked up her worried mood.
Puck joined her enthusiasm, taking Sabrina by the hand promising her that all will be okay in the end. Daphné rushed to her husband' side whispering some encouragments, then the man followed her.
- « She really had a big power on him. He's grounchy but she can make him happier and more kind. » Said Sabrina, her hand in her husband's. He smiled at her in a mischivous may
- « Like the one you have on me...and the one I have on you. » he replied with a wink.
