15. The Spider's Web

He walked down the stairs and into the kitchen as the sweet smell of coffee found it's way to his nose. Grandma Francisca looked up from her cooking as he came into the kitchen and smiled.

"You are up early."

Remy said good morning and smiled back as he sat down at the table next to Max, who was Constantin's son. Grandma Francisca came over with some breakfast to Remy and sat down at the table with a cup of coffee. As Remy looked down at the food he discovered how hungry he really was, so he immediately began to eat the food.

"It's good that you are up this early. It gives us some time to get to know each other…"

She looked over at Max, who sat with his nose in his computer. Even though Remy only had been there a day, then he had already learnt about Max's obsession with his computer. Max had always his computer with him and almost every time you saw him was he working with something on it. Remy found it a little weird, but for Louis, who was best friends with Max, he tried to get along with Max.

"…Besides it's good to get some company here in the early morning hours."

Remy was just about to say something, when he heard someone coming into the kitchen. He turned around and saw that it was Constantin, who looked surprised over seeing Remy, but quickly Constantin's face became like stone again. Constantin walked over to the stove and poured a cup of coffee, before he then turned towards Remy.

"I thought you were going to sleep in today."

Remy shrugged his shoulders and met Constantin eyes.

"Well, I'm a morning person, when the situation demands it."

For a second Constantin eyes were cold as ice, but then he began to smile.

"That's good. Your father has just told me that he had some papers, which he needs you to sign."

Remy couldn't hide his surprised.

"Papers that he wants me to sign?"

Constantin nodded.

"Yes, we are working in his office, so if you just will run in there and sign them, then it will be good."

Remy considered the situation for a while, but then he nodded and stood up.

"Okay and thanks Constantin for telling me that."

Remy walked out of the kitchen and over to the office's door, where he knock on the door. Immediately the door was opened by Edmond, who looked surprised over seeing Remy up this early.

"Remy, you are up!"

Remy nodded.

"Yeah, I couldn't sleep anymore and Constantin said you had some papers that you wanted me to sign."

Edmond smiled.

"That's right. I so happy about having you back that I have been working the whole night to make it official."

Remy raised his eyebrows.

"Has the DNA-results come back?"

Edmond shook his head.

"No, but that's not imported. What a father I would be if I couldn't even recognize my own son. Can you wait here a little while? I have just put the papers out in the car, because I thought you were going to sleep in, so I just need to bring them back."

Remy nodded.

"That's all right. Is it okay if I use the phone in the meantime?"

Edmond, who was about to walk out of the door, froze in the moment and looked back at Remy.

"You don't have to ask. This is also your home now. Okay?"

Remy nodded and Edmond walked away as Remy walked over to the phone. He knew it was very late back at the school, but he just needed to speak to Rogue. He hadn't been able to sleep in the night, because he couldn't stop thinking about their argument.

He hesitantly reached out after the phone and pressed the number to the school. The phone rang several times before it was answered. He instantly recognized Rogue's voice, but then he suddenly felt like all the courage had left him and he couldn't say a word.

"Hello, is someone there?"

Her voice was tough like always, but still it had the hit of frailty, which he loved.

"Remy?"

He quickly pressed down on the phone, so it died. He should never have made that phone call. She had guessed that it was him, who had called the school, but he was finished with that life, where he never was going to fit in. He had before been able to push feelings away, but somehow this time it was much harder for him to do that.

Since cleaning up wasn't Edmond's strongest ability, then the desk was full with all kinds of papers and folders. Therefore Remy happened to push a folder down on the floor, where it's contents spread out, as he reached down to put the phone back. Quickly he kneeled down and gathered the papers, but then something caught his attention on one of the papers. He closed his eyes for a second before looking at the paper again, but still he saw the same thing. The paper was just a boring credit voucher, but it was the signature underneath, which interested him. Even how many time he read the name it always said the same, namely Dr. Neria Ury.

He heard footsteps coming, so he quickly put the papers back in the folder and laid it back on the desk. A second later came Edmond and Constantin in through the door.

"Oh sorry, I forgot that you were going to make a phone call."

Remy shrugged his shoulders as he tried to get his pulse down. Could he really right now be standing in front of the man that Neria feared so much? The man that he had swore to take down.

"Well, there was nobody home, besides didn't you have some paper that you needed me to sign?"

Edmond nodded and walked over to his desk, where he pushed some of the stuff away to make room for them.

"Please sit down, so we can get it over."

Remy sighted with relief and sat down in one of the chairs in front of the desk.
