"no, no No No NO NO!" Lucas shouted as the blows rained down on him.
"Shut up! Shut up, I'm tired of listening to you. So just shut your damned mouth," said the cold voice.
Lucas pulled on his wrists, they were tied above is head. Blood ran down his arms. He closed his eyes, as if, by not seeing it, it wouldn't be real.
"Yes, that's it, remains still pretty boy. Oh, my sweet boy."
"No, no!" he begged. "Please don't do this. Nono," he whimpered as another fist landed.
Lucas woke up in sweat.
"Shit, it just can't be true. He can't possibly be free," he moaned softly to himself. He needed to get up and call his Uncle.
Lucas waited for the number to connect and someone to answer at his Uncle Lawrence's house.
"Yes?" the voice paused. "Hello, can I help you?"
"Hello Aunt Cynthia, is Uncle Lawrence there?"
"Lucas! My god Lucas, haven't you been told. Oh dear I don't know how to say this but your Uncle, your Uncle is .. Is..."
"No." he denied. "No, no ... not uncle Lawrence, not that, please, please no," Lucas felt the tears forming in his eyes and didn't even try to stop them.
"It's him, it's him, he killed Lawrence. He's back," Lucas sobbed.
"Lucas, no. Stop that. It's impossible. He's in prison. Do you hear me?"
"No, he's free, he sent seaQuest a message. I'm sure Cynthia. It happened this morning, it was his voice. He said that he had seen Uncle Lawrence," his voice trembled at the memory.
"Lucas, I have to go tell the police. Don't leave the seaQuest. Not for any reason. I'll keep in touch about the funeral, but until then stay on the seaQuest. Do you understand."
He nodded his understanding.
"I love you Angel. Stay safe," and with that the transition ended.
Lucas felt like his heart was breaking. Fear was over riding everything else in his brain. For over a year Lawrence had been his safety net. He had protected him and provided for him. And now that was gone. All of the doubts and fears of the past came flooding back. He didn't know what to do now.
"Lucas on the bridge, Lucas on the bridge."
"What now," he moaned. He didn't know if he was ready to face anything else. He took a deep breath and headed for the bridge.
"Yes Captain."
"Lucas can you trace the origin of the last call, please. Lt. O'Neill can't seem to get a lock on it."
"Of course sir. Right away," he kept his head down and didn't notice the looks of concern thrown his way.
