Lorcan returned back to Siobhan's house, walking in with his head hung. He looked so defeated. He should have known that Rachel wouldn't just tell him her plan or give Helena back because he asked nicely, but he had hoped that he would think of a plan, some kind of way to blackmail her while he was on the phone. He didn't know what he had been thinking. He had just wanted so badly to be of help.
Upon looking over and seeing Lorcan, Siobhan rushed to his side, checking him over and making sure that he was okay.
"I'm fine, S." Lorcan told her, "But I think I may have screwed up."
"Where were you?"
Siobhan looked and sounded really worried. That only made Lorcan feel worse.
"I was at the library. I really was. I read a book about telepathy to understand more about mine and Orla's telepathic connection." Lorcan replied. He looked over at his sister, "I'm sorry for blocking you."
Orla pouted as she blinked her big eyes, "I...I thought we were one?"
Lorcan walked over to his sister, taking her hands into his own as he looked directly into her eyes, "We are, but I needed to do something. I couldn't have you finding out where I was."
"What were you doing?" Cosima asked
Lorcan sighed, "It didn't work, but..." He looked around the room, "You're all treating me like a baby. Like I'm some little kid, like Kira or Orla. And I'm not. I helped my mom when she was in labour with my sister. I delivered my sister and cut her umbilical cord. I want to help. I want to be involved."
Cosima nodded, "Okay, but what didn't work?"
"I tried to get Aunt Helena back." Lorcan admitted as he handed over Cosima's phone, "And you might want to call Delphine. I may texted her pretended to be you so I could get Rachel's number. I'm sorry, Auntie Cosima." He shook his head, "I thought I could do it on my own, but I need your help." He looked back and forth between Siobhan and Cosima, "Will you help me?"
"Of course, Chicken." Siobhan replied, "Do you have a plan?"
Lorcan looked down, "No. I don't even know where Rachel is holding Helena."
Meanwhile with Roisin, who is back inside Dyad. She borrowed some stuff from Rachel and is sneaking around Dyad dressed as Rachel. It was the best way to find out where Rachel is holding Helena and what she is planning on doing with her.
"Rachel?" Ferdinand questioned, "I though you were at Brightborn with the subjects?"
'Brightborn? Subjects? So Helena's not the only one?' Roisin thought as she nodded, "Yeah I was, but then I remembered I forgot something here at Dyad."
"Do you need any help?"
Roisin shook her head, "No that's okay. Thanks anyways, Ferdinand."
Ferdinand nodded, "Of course, Rachel." He walked on, going on his merry way.
Roisin let out a breath as she headed to Rachel's office, closing the door behind her. She spoke into the earpiece that she was wearing.
"Felix, did you get all that?"
"Yeah, texting Mumsy as we speak."
Roisin smirked, "Why do you call her that?"
"It's fun." Felix replied, "Why don't you call her mum anymore?"
"Fair enough."
"You didn't answer my question, Rosie."
"Let's focus on the task at hand, Fee."
Felix sighed, "Fine, but I expect an answer later."
"I wouldn't expect anything less from you."
Back at Siobhan's, she had received the text from Felix and relayed the news to Cosima and Lorcan after sending Kira and Orla upstairs to play.
"Brightborn is a fertility clinic." Cosima stated
"Of course. Rachel can't get her hands on Orla, so she's going to use Helena and probably the Castor clone that fathered Orla to make another Orla." Siobhan explained. She glanced over at Lorcan, "Do you know who your sister's father is?"
Lorcan shook his head, "No. My mum never told me. She didn't even tell me about you until I was eleven. Before that I assumed she was an orphan."
Siobhan gave a small nod, "Right."
"I'm sure it's not personal."
"No. It's not." Siobhan told him, but she wasn't very convincing. It didn't seem like she believed it.
"You know, S, my mum may not act like it, but she loves you. Otherwise she wouldn't have given Orla the middle name Joanne, the American form of Siobhan."
Siobhan looked shocked, "She did?"
Lorcan nodded, "Yeah. She did."
"Nana?" Kira's voice was heard from the staircase
Siobhan looked over at the little girl, "What is it, Chicken?"
"Mummy's in trouble."
Siobhan glanced over at Cosima, "Where's Sarah?"
Cosima picked up her phone and tried calling Sarah, but the phone went straight to voicemail. She looked at Siobhan and just shrugged.
"Don't worry, Chicken. We'll find your Mum." Siobhan assured Kira, "Now go on back upstairs."
Kira nodded, "Okay Nana." She turned around, running back up the stairs to continue playing with Orla.
Inside Brightborn with Sarah, she was locked in a room, looking for a way out when Rachel walked in.
Sarah stopped, turning around to face Rachel, looking like a deer caught in headlights. She didn't know what Rachel had planned for her, or where she was holding Helena, but she intended on finding out.
"Oh my, my, my. Isn't this a treat? Having both twins." Rachel uttered. She smiled, "It's like having both pieces of a rare collection?"
"Rachel, where is my sister?" Sarah asked angrily
"In a few months, you will both be reunited..." Rachel started, "...in a birthing room." She turned around, walking out of the room, and locking the door behind her.
