Evil Double- Gemini of Darkness

Part 5

Lucas and Claire are now driving back to the city, music is playing with Lucas singing along. Claire, on the other hand, remains silent. 'Ah, ah, ah ah, staying alive, staying alive' sings Lucas. 'Staying alive....' he sings but as soon as he looks at Claire, who is now giving him a stern look, he stops. 'A murderer is on the loose, yeah, dumb song choice' says Lucas as he looks forward and switches the music. 'I don't know anymore. George seems like such a sweet guy, but this whole thing is just so... I don't know' says Claire. 'We will get him out, Claire. We can't give up' says Lucas. 'His sister just confirmed what that Matt was saying. There is a lot about him we both don't know. About his past, about the accident, and someone named Alise' says Claire. 'Sure, there's a lot we don't know about his past but that doesn't make it right for us to turn on him, he needs us' says Lucas, who pauses for a breath before continuing, 'And sure he was broken after Alise, but I...' 'Alise Mandam? Wait, I've read somewhere about an Alise Mandam that was family of another victim' Claire interrupts.

Claire searches on her phone and finds an article online. 'Lillith Mandam, that was the first victim. She was killed over a year ago, she was Alise's sister' says Claire. She asks Lucas everything he knows about that time. He tells her that George was dating an Alise in high school and then she cheated on him, which devastated him so much that he shut off and didn't want to leave his home. After a short while, they heard of Alise's sister's death and the school held a memorial. 'This all sounds horrific. I don't want to believe George is a killer, but...' says Claire. 'But nothing, he not a killer. Maybe we just keep looking to find something, anything' says Lucas. 'I saw a lab coat in the closet over at his sister's house' says Claire. 

They are now entering the city, 'You mean, like...' Lucas tries to ask. 'Yeah, like the one the person was wearing in that video footage' says Claire. Lucas was now looking baffled, not knowing what to say or do. Lucas' phone rings and he picks up his phone, first looking at Claire in a somewhat guilty way, 'Hello' he says. 'Who's that?' asks Claire. 'No one important' he answers before continuing on the phone, 'Yeah, man. I know... sure, yeah I got it. Cool'. Claire now crosses her arms and looks at Lucas, who slows down and starts pulling over to a sidewalk near another facility. 'Sure, bro. I got you' Lucas says then hangs up. He then looks at Claire, 'One of your girlfriends?' she asks. 'Uhm, no. I gotta do something, lemme take you home' says Lucas.

'And just why can't I come with you, huh?' she asks. 'Come on, I jus...' Lucas tries to explain. 'I'm teasing, I really don't want to know what you going to do and with who' says Claire. Lucas drives Claire home, the sweet sound of a Ferrari accelerating and driving off. Next, we see a cellphone in someone's hand, it's D and he is sitting on a bunk in prison in the cafeteria area. He was the one who called Lucas about their 'business'. George is sitting next to him, fiddling with his food. Across from them sits 2 other men, both black and tattooed. 'So, that boy L gon' handle it?' asks the one man. 'Yes, fool, he always coming through' D answers. George looks up slightly but tries not to make any eye contact. 'So, G, this dumbass right here is Keith, but we call him Killer, and next to him is Marcus the Bald' says D.

'Screw you, D' answers Marcus, while everyone at the table laughs. George is astounded, this prison boss who everyone fears, is sitting and cracking jokes with friends like a normal, everyday person. So, while George was still struggling to accept his environment, he felt a certain sense of calmness. He laughs as well; 'So G, I heard you are quite the killer yourself out there. The Collector they call ya, right?' asks Marcus. 'I'm Killer, fool' says Keith. 'I didn't kill anyone' says George, almost in a snapping tone. He then looks down at his food, realizing he raised his voice to a convicted killer, but also thinking to himself, if people in prison thought he was really this psychotic killer, then maybe they'd be too afraid to mess with him. 

'Alright man, whatever you say' says Marcus, which interrupts George's train of thought somewhat. A guard walks over to their table, 'Excuse me' he says. 'Anything you need, Josh?' asks D as he just turns his head slightly to the direction of the guard who is standing behind him. 'I am sorry to interrupt, D, but there is a phone call for The Collector... I mean George Rogers', George is now looking up in the direction of the guard, then looks at D, who just looks at George and nods. As George gets up, D tells Marcus to go with him. George approaches the telephone and picks it up, 'Hello?' he says.
