Thankfully Lucas eased in to the chair himself. But how could he tell the whole thing to the Captain? How should he explain this? He watched as Bridger sat across from him. There was just one thing he could do. "They're here."

If the Captain had not already been sitting he would have fallen down. The boy was speaking. He was finally speaking. The teenager had a wonderful voice. Bridger realised that it was hard for Lucas to speak, so he decided not to say anything about this right now and just listen to what Lucas had to say. Bridger took Lucas hands in his own "Who is here?"

The teenager looked directly in Bridger's eyes. "The men who killed my parents."

The Captain was shocked. "Who?"

"Dr. MC Clendon, Dr. Dunfield and Dr. Newman."

Nathan wasn't surprised, when he thought back to Lucas behaviour today. It could only be these three men. He believed the boy with all his heart. But was this enough to bring the men to trial? "I believe you."

The teen felt relived.

"But I'm afraid there are other people who won't believe you as easily. Do you have anything to prove this?" Asked the Captain.

"Do you believe I could ever forget the voice of the person who killed my Mum and Dad? Dr. Clendon was the only one who talked, but I know that the other two men were Dunfield and Newman, I recognized them at their build." Lucas made a little stop. Then his blue eyes were shining. "When Dr. Clendon tried to stop me from screaming I bite his hand, his right hand. I bite really hard. He was bleeding from this. There must be a scar on his hand!"

Nathan nodded his head. "Good Lucas, I think I can work with this. Can you tell me the rest? What else happened?"

Lucas shook his head. He didn't want to talk about it.

"Please Kiddo, I have to know, this is important!"

Lucas thought about this, the Captain was right, he had to get the information if he wanted to do something against the three scientists.

Suddenly the teenager started to speak about what had happened 9 1/2 month before, he told it without any emotions.

Nathan realised more and more why the boy had refused to speak. But he asked himself why the teenager could tell this so calm. Maybe Lucas would realize it later and deal with his feelings then.

When Lucas finished with the story, Captain Bridger stood up. "I will. I will put them in the brig. I think it's the best for you return in to your cabin. Should I wake Dr. Westphalen, she could come and sit with you?"

Lucas shook his head. "No you don't need to do that. Let her sleep. Is it okay if Igo and see if Darwin is awake, he can come and talk with me?"

Nathan nodded his head. Darwin was a good idea.
