30. Girl with the cure

"That's enough," Sage said and seeing the two boys jealous Ryan chuckled.

"Let's deliver the cure to the main hospital now," Ryan said.

"You made more," Trisha asked in awe of her brother who was always the hard worker.

"Lot more, your boyfriends helped." He said the air awkward with heaviness in the car.

Trisha tried to glare at her brother from the back seat.

After a long silence in the car, Trisha didn't realize when but she fell asleep and her head took refuge on Sage' shoulder. 

A smile crept on his face after a long time as he saw the peacefully sleeping girl on his shoulder realizing that he was head over heels for her.

"Trisha, wake up," Sage whispered softly not wanting to wake her up but having no other option.

She stirred awake and it took a moment for her to realize that she was resting on Sage's shoulder.

Her eyes opened and she shot up in shock, embarrassed at her proximity with Sage and looked away.

"Hideout," Ryan informed before Trisha could ask any questions.

"Is mom here?" She asked both angry and afraid to meet her after the betrayal.

"Yes."

"And Alice?" 

"No," Ryan said in a bitter tone feeling hurt all over again.

They all walked in parking their car in a dark garage where dust covered the floor and silently made their way to the apartments build years ago but were abandoned due to murders that happened a few years ago which Trisha now knew was slaughtering of people who were like her or ones that found no DNA matches.

"Something is wrong," Killian said and they all realized that it was it was pin drop silence.

"You seem worried a bit, people." An unfamiliar voice boomed through the premises.

"Now, now don't be too worried. Trisha sweetheart your family is with me. If you are wondering how we tracked you, thanks to Killian's father here, still our loyal citizen." Trisha was hearing all this but it felt like a distant dream as she fell on the ground.

"It's simple, we want you to be the villain in the scenario. It's much better than the whole government being hated. So give the cure and I will let your family live." The voice said.

"You don't even have them," Trisha said in a terrified tone.

"I am so sorry dear." Her mother's crying voice scared her but what broke her was her father's voice," Don't make the deal."

"Where?" Ryan asked.

"Only your sister dear. We need intellectual like you to make the cure quick."The creepy male voice said.

"I will come to you," Trisha said not letting her voice tremble.

"Great. Get all the cure to the address you will find in the apartment." The voice warned and last they heard was her father's scream.

"This is a trap," Sage said as soon as the voice was gone.

"I don't care and they know that," she said loud enough so that everyone can hear it.

"What if we start distributing the cure first?" Killian asked.

"He will kill my parents without a second thought." Tears escaped her eyes as she realized the hopeless situation she was in.

"Then let's buy some time," Ryan suggested.

While Trisha was supposed to take the cure to the largest pharma company's, Killian and Sage will be quickly distributing the cure and Ryan will keep Trisha safe.
