It is very dangerous to be far from home, in an unfamiliar, unfriendly place, wearing expensive clothes and having a beautiful face. Adam lay on the damp, cold ground. He was crying and scared. His hands were shaking, he could barely force himself to get up and walk away from this horrible place.
....half an hour ago....
-"Boy, won't you have money? I need a little 10 is there?"
-"Don't touch me!"
Adam was so scared, he ran as hard as he could from this ugly man in his opinion. Whose eyes were terrible. He stank and was dressed in rags. But when he was running, he fell and rolled down the slope to the bank of the river. Where sat a company of drug addicts smoking cheap cr@ck.
-"Don't you want to try, boy? But it's not free, you're pretty, if you let me touch you, I'll give you a little, if you want more, then you'll have to work."
Adam was scared, he just couldn't move. dirty, with an ugly face, in a leather jacket, the man approached him, others were busy with drugs, their bodies lay relaxed and did not care that the ground was wet and cold and they did not care about the world around them. He came closer, covered Adam's mouth with his hand and gave a repulsive smile. Adam froze in horror when, with his other hand, he unzipped the zipper on his pants and began to touch him. Adam screamed and cried, the hideous man stopped.
-"ok I'll give it to you boy come if you want I'll always be happy to make you happy. You better get out of here, because anyone would want to eat such a beauty."
.....that's exactly what happened.....
Terrible sounds sounded in the distance, the reflections of lanterns flicker on the water, the smell of smoke was noticeable in the air..
Adam was left lying on the grass with his pants down, holding a small packet of white crystal
powder in hands.
"what did he want to do with me? He, his hands ... God"
He was scared, he didn't know how to describe the disgusting sensations he just felt, he cried, screamed, dressed and ran until he lost consciousness.
He was awakened by patrolmen who hit him so hard that he began to choke. but they left him, having laughed at him a little and letting that "addict" just walk away.
"So cold"
Dawn was approaching but it was still dark, he saw in the distance the first morning buses that were taking workers to work. It was cold, he was shaking all over, he was hungry and thirsty. Take a warm bath. But how ? Where to go?
“I was always at home and never knew that such rotten places existed. I've heard about them, but seeing and feeling them is something else. There is no gradation here and it doesn’t matter your origin, they just rot here."
“I remember how at the university we ridiculed those who took cases and defended hooligans, prostitutes, and homeless people. .... They also took me for a throwaway and didn’t even ask how I ended up here and what happened. It was very ironic."
“What should I do next, I can’t go back to work, not to my parents, I don’t want to, but Lucien, I don’t remember where he lives, where that damn bar. But will he accept me? Maybe he liked me when I was a nice, clean boy in fashionable clothes, did he accept me like that now? Dirty, fallen with nothing.
If I go to Eliot, my goodfather will catch me and hand me over to my father....
oh god what should I do?"
When the warm morning sun rose, Adam was sitting on the bench tired and confused, he liked the warmth, he closed his eyes and almost fell asleep when unexpectedly, someone ran by and threw him a black box. Adam carefully and cautiously took it and saw this black cursed note, similar to those that arrived to him.
"call someone you trust, but someone on this list is me,the one who killed Katie, who do you think? Ophiuchus"
-"Damn psychopath!!!!"
In the box there was a telephone in which were written only three telephone numbers, father's, Eliot's and Lucien's.
"This is nonsense. Lucien, I want him to take me away from here."
Adam called Lucien without a doubt. He was happy when he heard Lucien's voice, and cried when he heard that he was coming for him.
- I will be soon..
.......
"but how did he find me? Is this damn Ophiuchus a psychopath? Device?! I have a device!"
Device?! I have a device!”
Adam started looking at all his things, but had no idea what he might end up in. He threw away his shoes, tore off all the buttons, threw away his watch and cross, his belt, his jacket and coat. and his appearance became even more sad..he was hysterical about what was happening, "why everything was like this", what if he was somewhere nearby and would now kill him and Lucien, who was coming now.
He thought how Lucien would find him, where it would be safer, he had to go somewhere!
He was able to go out onto the street, where there was traffic, saw a stop and thought that it was better to wait there.
“Lucien, will he be able to see me here? But I said I’m in the park, should I come back?”
Adam looked around and couldn’t believe himself that during the day everything seemed to be in order. Normal people went to work, children played. And at night it is a surprisingly terrible place. When he saw the police car, he got scared and hid behind a billboard. His heart was pounding, but he heard a familiar voice calling him...
-Adam! Adam!
Adam was so glad he was there and ran to meet him. He stopped, although he so wanted to hug him.
-Sorry I look terrible..
Lucien hugged him tightly, bringing tears to Adam's eyes again. He hugged him back, he started crying again.
-Let's go to my house, relax, and if you want, you can tell me everything. Don't cry, I'm with you, no one can touch you.
Adam was scared, but when he felt the warmth and smell of Lucien, he calmed down. "Why do I like him so much? Why is he so good?"
Adam was surprised when he saw what an expensive car Lucien arrived in, and what an expensive suit he was wearing, this unusual for a simple bartender, but he remained silent. he got into the car and didn’t let go of his hand the whole way.
Adam is a rich guy who seems to have everything, but he doesn't have what he wants more than anything, freedom and an interesting life. But one day he met him, the mysterious guy Lucien, who changes his life.
