Dark Universe & Forbidden Love (61 page)

Gloria, Titainein, Erikon and
Lucis was on the way to planet HY1217. Gloria managed to decode the message and
it read “Teitye. 3329847132. Take care of John.” There was also a coordinates
for planet HY1217. Later Gloria talked with Titainein and learned that John was
Jason’s older brother. She was surprised that Jason never mentioned anything
about John. Gloria decided to visit John, hoping he might know where Jason was.
Titainein asked Erikon and Lucis to come along. She felt they would make it
easier to talk to John.

It
turned out that Teitye was an underground clinic which would perform any type
of treatment as long as the customer could pay for it. It was located in a dead
volcano and it took Gloria and her friends half a day to find it.

As the
space vessel descended into the volcano, Titainein took out several pistols
from a bag and gave each person one piece.

“Are we
expecting some trouble?” Lucis asked seriously.

“No, but
this place is where you want to get patched up and want nobody to find out.
Better be careful.” Titainein said easily as she loaded her gun.

“Jason
never really talked about John.” Erikon said.

“Maybe
they didn’t get along very well.” Gloria guessed.

“Gloria,
don’t you worry. Jason is strong. He will be fine.” Erikon said confidently.

Gloria
nodded and gave Erikon a kind smile.

As the
vessel entered the perimeter of the clinic, several fighter jets surrounded the
vessel and asked for the access code. Gloria gave them the string of numbers in
the message. The jets then let them through. The vessel touched down on the
bottom of the volcano.

Gloria
and others stepped out of the vessel and headed into a well-lightened tunnel.
There were several security checks and they had no choice but to surrender
their guns. Then they entered into an enormous cavern. It was a small city with
hundreds of buildings covered by all kinds of medical advertisements. Several
robots came to Gloria and her friends and asked what kind of treatment they
were looking for. After 30 minutes, Gloria finally found a place to ask
something rather than treatment. She learned that the first four digits of that
string of numbers was the registration number of a build in this community.
They quickly found the three-story battered building and it had a big sign
reading genetic modification at the front. They walked into the building and
headed to the reception desk. A Sityeuen dressing in white was sitting there
leisurely. Gloria walked to the Sityeuen and said, “Hello, we are looking for a
patient.”

As soon
as the Sityeuen saw Gloria, he sat straight up right away and said, “We don’t
usually have Glycan here. The name of the patient.”

“John
Marton.”

“Yes, we
have John Marton. You guys must come to pick him up. He finished all treatments
about two weeks ago.”

“Something
like that.” Gloria said.

“Please
follow me.”

Gloria
and others followed the Sityeuen onto the second floor and entered a room at
the end of the hallway. A man was sitting next to the window, looking outside,
leaving his back to Gloria and others.

“John,
finally someone come to pick you up.” The Sityeuen said happily.

“Really?”
John said as he turned around.

The
moment Gloria saw his face, she almost fainted. Except the long hair, he looked
just like Jason.

“They
are twins?” Erikon said in surprise.

“It
seems so.” Lucis was still in shock.

“This is
going to be interesting.” Titainein sighed. 

“I will
leave it to you guys.” The Sityeuen said and headed out.

“Hi, I
am Erikon.” Erikon waved at John.

“John.”

“These
are my friends. Gloria, Lucis and Titainein.” Erikon did a quick introduction.
Lucis and Titainein acknowledged John. Gloria gazed at John, her lips shaking,
but she didn’t say anything.

“So my
father sent you guys?” John asked as he looked around Gloria and others.

“Yes,
kind of.” Titainein said hesitatingly.

“Where
is my father?”

Titainein
looked around at Erikon, Lucis and Gloria. Erikon and Lucis shook their heads.
Gloria was still lost.

“We
don’t know.” Titaintein said.

“Then
how did you find me?”

“Someone
sent us a message.” Eirkon said.

“I see.”

They
fell into an awkward silence.

Titainein
nudged Gloria and asked, “Gloria, don’t you have something to ask?”

“Jason?”
Gloria said in a shaking voice.

“Oh,
right! I almost forgot. Where is my fucking little brother?” John said coldly
with an evil smile.
