"There, all done." Vincent said as he taped the young man's arms to his back.
"Will this hold him?" Green asked.
"I am not sure. Red used to do this to people but unsuccessfully."
"This is wrong. This man will die."
"If I say my words right, it will be fine."
"He's waking up," Green said.
"Okay, are you guys set?"
"Yes."
"Okay," Vincent touches the young man's shoulders, "hey...do you know where you are?" The man didn't say anything, Vincent begins again, "why are you tied up?"
"I don't. I want to get out!"
"Get out from where?"
"The Time People! They murdered my parents right in front of my eyes."
"How long ago did that happen?"
"I don't know. Months! Years!"
"Okay, calm down. Listen to the sound of my voice. You are now in a safe place. You came to one of my best friend's house. This man here, saved your life."
"Life?" The young man looked up at a nineteen year old man with brown hair in red eyes. He became shocked as he looked at Green as he remembered a uncanny look from her, "red eyes but you don't. You have green eyes."
"Red!?" Green said as he bend towards the young man. "Where is my elder sister?"
"She saved me."
"No, she couldn't do that."
"Give it a rest Sarah. You can't talk to him right now or else that man would..." Michael said, "Red's methods are always like this."
The young man suddenly wakes up and rips through the rope and tape. He went to the kitchen and took out the knife from the wood block, "stand back. I don't know how I would use this thing!"
Vincent hold his hand out to protect Green and Michael, "careful...stay behind me..."
"But Vincent!" Green said, "don't do this!"
"I said get back!"
Vincent slowing went in front of the young man. He lifted up his hands for mercy. "Please, calm down. You're going to hurt yourself. Just put down the knife."
He went closer to the young man. He saw his humanity in his eyes. It's not the same as the Time People's. Vincent hold out his hands to the young man's and pointed the knife down to the ground, "Red? Where is she?"
"She's gone...I don't know where is she now. I promise you that she will come back."
"Lies, I killed her!" The young man said as he brush off Vincent's hands. He stares at Vincent and quickly plunged the knife in Vincent's upper left of his chest. Then slice it up to his shoulders.
"Vincent!" Green and Michael said as they took a step to Vincent's view.
Vincent turns to them and waves his right hand to them to be silent and pull back. The young man looks at the woman that looks like Red who saved his life, "your Red's youngest sister?"
"Yes, my name is Green."
"You have different eye colour to hers."
"Yes, my powers are different from hers. Sorry that I sort of poisoned you."
"It's fine. All that I want to do is to thank her for everything."
"What happened to you?"
The young man looks at Vincent and points to him. Vincent has his right hand over his wound that he cutted but the bleeding will not stop, "I know you..."
The young man starts to faint, while Vincent ran up to him and catches in his arms, "hey, are you alright? Hey!"
"Stop shaking him Vincent. He is the key to find sis and father." Green said, "bring him back to his room."
"Okay, Sarah."
