Lorcan was out on the streets. He didn't know where to go or what he was going to do, but he was tired of being babied. He wanted to help find his Aunt Helena. He wanted to be involved. Lorcan hadn't taken his phone with him because he didn't want to be tracked, but he did take his Aunt Cosima's phone. He had swapped her phone with his while she was busy playing with Kira and Orla.
As he continued walking Lorcan pulled out the phone and texted Delphine. He knew that he couldn't call her, because she would know that he's not Cosima. He typed the message: 'Mrs. S, Felix and I have a lead on Helena. Could I please have Rachel's number?' Then he took a deep breath and sent the text.
Lorcan stopped outside of the public library and walked inside. 'This is a great place to hide out while I wait for Delphine to text me back.' He thought.
Meanwhile at Siobhan's house, she and Felix were so wrapped up in their conversation about what to do about Rachel and how to get Helena back that nobody saw when Lorcan had snuck out. However Cosima, after Orla had told her that she sensed Lorcan far away, looked up and noticed that her only nephew was gone.
"Um S, Felix, I don't mean to alarm you but Lorcan is gone." Cosima said
Siobhan turned her attention to the couch where Lorcan had been sitting, "What? Where did he go?"
Felix walked over to Orla and bent down to her level, "Orla, love, remember the telepathic connection that you said you have with your brother. Can you talk to him for us?"
"I think so." Orla replied as she tried to connect with her brother, but she was unable to. She shook her head, "I can't. I can't...it's not...I don't know the word."
"Connecting?" Siobhan wondered
Orla nodded, "Yeah. It's like a...a wall."
"Are you saying that Lorcan can block the connection?" Felix asked
"I don't know. It never...it's always open." Orla told her uncle
'I should call Rosie.' Cosima thought as she reached over to the coffee table to pick up her phone, but what she picked up wasn't her phone. 'How could that be? I put my phone right there.' She thought
Siobhan furrowed her eyebrows, "What is it, chicken?"
"This isn't my phone." Cosima replied
Orla grabbed the phone from her aunt, "This is Lory's phone."
"Lorcan must have taken my phone." Cosima added, "Sneaky kid."
"It's just what I would have done." Felix added
Siobhan scoffed, "He's just like his mother."
Back at the library with Lorcan, he was reading a book about telepathy. He wants to make sense of the telepathic connection he has with his sister, who he was currently blocking. When Cosima's phone vibrated Lorcan picked up the phone thinking it was a text from Delphine, but she was actually him instead. 'What do I do?' He thought as he panicked, but then the call went to voicemail. He promptly texted Delphine: 'I'm in the library. Just text me.' It wasn't very long before Lorcan got a reply.
'Call me when you leave the library please.' Was what the text from Delphine said.
Lorcan sighed. Why was everything so hard? Why couldn't she just give him Rachel's number?
The phone vibrated again. It was another text from Delphine. 'Do you, Siobhan, and Felix actually have a plan?'
'Yes' Lorcan typed and sent as a reply text. A few moments later, Delphine texted him back and he actually got Rachel's number as well as a 'let me know how your plan goes.'
'Thank you. I will.' Lorcan replied before bolting out of the library as he dialed Rachel's number.
Inside of Brightborn with Helena and Shane, who were being prepped for their first treatments by a doctor and nurse when Rachel walked into the room just as her phone rang. She looked at the caller ID before answering. It read 'Cosima'. 'It's the geek clone.' Rachel thought as she answered her phone.
"What do you want, Cosima?"
"Not quite." Lorcan spoke
Rachel furrowed her eyebrows, "Who is this?" She couldn't place the voice.
"You know me. I'm Cosima's only nephew. Dr. Leekie kidnapped me and my sister."
"Lorcan." Rachel uttered
"Now you're getting it."
Rachel sighed, "What do you want, kid?"
"I want you to let my Aunt Helena go."
"Or what?" Rachel threatened.
"Uh..." Lorcan stuttered
Rachel laughed, "That's what I thought."
"This isn't over. I will get my aunt back." Lorcan sounded determined
"Good luck, little man." Rachel told him as she hung up the phone. She turned her attention to Helena and Shane, "Now. Shall we get started?"
Helena glared at Rachel, "You won't get away with this."
Rachel smirked, "I already have." She looked at the nurse and the doctor, "Take Helena up to the OR for an oophorectomy."
Sorry the chapter is short and that it's so late. I had major writer's block. I knew what I wanted to write in this chapter, but not how to write it.
Anyways I hope you enjoy. Comments are greatly appreciated.
