Linus returned to his car and lit a cigarette.
He was extremely nervous before his first meeting with Matthew, but it turned out differently than expected.
Linus’ entire focus was on Matthew’s wife, Lucy.
The long-lost sense of familiarity returned, but it was unlike the fleeting and intangible feeling one would experience when dreaming. Linus felt as though he had met Lucy a long time ago.
However, amidst his chaotic thoughts and foggy mind, he could not pinpoint exactly when he had seen Lucy. His intuition told him that it was when a fiery warmth had embraced him during his most vulnerable and desperate moments. Unfortunately, since joining Spades, he never experienced that warmth again.
Before joining the organization, Linus was a homeless child, orphaned and alone. He spent almost every day sleeping under bridges with the sky as his roof and the ground as his bed. Sometimes, he would scavenge for food with beggars in garbage bins when he was starving.
Eventually, his frailty caught the attention of human traffickers.
He was only ten years old at the time. He had heard adults talk about human traffickers, but he had no idea how to fight back. Due to chronic malnutrition and his thin arms and legs, he could not escape from the towering and ruthless traffickers.
Hungry and desperate, he wondered what would happen to him. Would they take him to some remote mountainous area? Would they completely transform him into a ragged orphan? Would he be reduced to shamelessly begging on the streets just to make money for them?
Linus did not want this fate, but had his destiny ever been in his own hands? Just when he was at his most desperate, someone reached out to him.
It was a cute and lively little girl. She looked like she had been spoiled and treated like the apple of her family’s eye.
She had also been abducted.
