10 years later.

"Kiku forgot his notes from the last meeting I'd better return them?" Ludwig said. Luciana who was now twenty years old and had just passed her driving license asked " Can I drive you there Vati? I need to give Takeo back his notes from class."

Ludwig smiled and handed his daughter the keys to their shared vehicle. When they arrived they were greeted by Kiku, Alfred and their son Takeo. "Hey Lu." "Hey Taki. Let's go to your room shall we?"

The two twenty year old went up to Takeo's room where Luciana put down Takeo's noted and said "I heard you want to follow in your fathers footsteps as police officer?" "Yes it's a very interesting job. I've already started my internship there and my father says that I would make an excellent police officer. Is everything ok?" Takeo asked as Luciana yawned flopped down onto his bed. "I'm just tired. I've hardly had any sleep thanks to my little brother Viktor. I swear he's exactly like our mother sometimes. He can't stop talking.

"Well from what I heard from my mother your mother was always very clingy when your father was concerned." Luciana threw a pillow at her best friend and together they laughed for a long time.

Meanwhile Ludwig and Kiku were chatting happily about the old times while Alfred excused himself (something about meeting up with his brother). "I remember when you and Feliciano first met. He was really afraid of you." "Yes and now we are married and have two children. It's funny, when you look back to how naïve and clumsy that idiot was. When Luciana was born he never left my side and always muttered sweet nothing's into my ear, while you brought our daughter to the world.

"Yes. I remember. That was the day that Takeo was born." Kiku said smiling. "How is Heracles doing?" "Oh he's doing fine. I just remembered the day of Takeo's birth. I had just finished helping you with Luciana when I got a call from Alfred. He was in lots of pain from what I heard so I rushed home. When I got there Alfred was lying in our bed with Takeo in his arms."

"And now they're both twenty years old and flirting with each other like mad." Kiku nodded in agreement.

At that moment Luciana and Takeo came down the stairs. Luciana said "Mama just called. It's time for you to take Viktor to his piano lesson with uncle Roderich." "Alright. Tell your mother we're on our way."

Ludwig turned to Kiku and said "Kiku. You're our best friend ou know that don't you." "Yes I do." "If anything bad happens to either me or Feli would you look after Luciana and Viktor please?" Kiku who was usually a reserved man took his best friend in his arms and said "Of course Ludwig. That's what friends are for."

After saying their goodbyes Ludwig and his daughter made their way back home. Just as they were about to come off the motorway a black mini came rushing towards them. Luciana swerved to avoid the approaching vehicle but by doing so they crashed into the trees of he forest.

The car did two cartwheels before coming to a stop. But that's not the end. A huge tree came crashing down and hit the passenger side of the car.

When Luciana woke up she was greeted by a face she couldn't really recognise at first. "..ciana. Luciana. Talk to me sweetie." "Ma...Mama?" "Oh m-m-my poor b-baby." Feliciano cried grabbing his daughters hand. That was the moment where Luciana realised she was at the local hospital and that she had no idea what had happened or how she got here.

Her mother was beside himself with grief as he watched his little princess struggle to heave herself up, so being the great mother he was, helped his girl up and bearlt heard the question he was being asked.

"Mama. Where are Vati and Viktor?" This question made Feliciano cry even harder. "Mama. Please tell me what is going on?"

At that moment a doctor and a nurse came in and the nurse gently lead Feliciano out into the waiting room and the doctor turned to Luciana and asked "Do you remember why you are here?"

Luciana thought for a moment and then it all came back to her. The black mini crashing into them and them crashing in the forest. And of course the tree that barely missed her and hit the passenger seat. Luciana sat bolt upright as she remembered.

"M-my father? I-Is he..? The doctor sadly nodded his head and added "There is a police officer wanting to talk to you. Should I let him in?" "Yes of course." The doctor left and came back with none other than Kiku followed by Takeo.

Takeo took a seat and say down next to his best friend and said "I know that you're not quite sure yet what's going on but I can say on thing. That crash was planned and someone planted little microphones all over your house. That's how they knew when you were coming over. Also we received information that while your mother was shopping someone kidnapped your little brother."

Luciana gasped. This couldn't be happening to her and her family. "Takeo. I just found out my own father is dead and now you're telling me that my little brother is kidnapped?" "That's the only thing we can conclude, judging by the devastation in your house. We're doing everything we can to rescue your brother. I promise."

Luciana couldn't shake off the feeling that something really extremely bad was going to happen. Takeo sensing his friends distress put his arms around Luciana who gladly excepted it. "If it's really too much for you and your mother you are always welcome to stay at our place. You know that don't you?" Luciana nodded her head and smileaka tired and strained smile but was thankful for everything her best friend was doing for her. 'Hopefully you won't be too late.' she thought as Takeo left her hospital room.
