What the fuck?
Lucas Ricci as in Candace's uncle and William Ricci her father?
My eyes fucking dart to the door.Candace isn’t there but I look anyway as shock suffuses my brain.
I've just spent hours checking out Richard and Jacques.Now I've found this.
What the hell is this though?
Her father and uncle's names are on a list with men known to be human traffickers?
Returning my focus to the document I look again, checking if what I’m seeing is right.
Is it really them?
I click on William's name first when I hover over it and it highlights in blue.What I’m presented with next is his fucking picture, name, date of birth, and his Stormy Creek address.There’s no fucking mistake that it’s him.
But what the hell does this mean in relation to everything else?William Ricci died thirteen years ago, so what I’m looking at isn’t something recent.All it does is unearth more shit.
When I think of William, of course, I think of the promise I made to him.At the time I made it I resented him, but I know he was just looking out for his daughter.That aside, I remember a man who was a good friend to my father.William was a man who loved his family.There was nothing he wouldn’t have done for Candace and his wife Elizabeth.They followed us to Stormy Creek when we lost everything.William and his wife still took care of our family the same way the Ricci’s did for generations before.
Was that a lie? A ruse to get close the way everyone else did and screwed with us?
But why? It makes no sense. We didn’t have anything during that whole time.Right up until William’s death, we were still poor.
Unless if it wasn’t about us.After all, Alfonse worked for many others.Maybe this had nothing to do with us at all.
So that leads me to the other thing that makes no sense and never has.Not to me, anyway. It's what actually started my night.I was looking for Richard Fenmoir, but really, I was looking for him because of Candace's parents' death.
I think what I've found is part and parcel of the reason.
I just don't know how it fits, or if Richard Fenmoir is relevant now that I know this.
What I know is William is dead, but Lucas is alive somewhere, at least to my knowledge.I need to find him.
This document tells me he and William worked for people who want the Syndicate gone.
Maybe this was why William died.
What the hell did he get himself into?And what secrets lay underneath it all.
What the motherfucking hell was William truly up to?
We know William took a job. Was it really human trafficking?This list points to that for him and Lucas, although I can’t imagine either of them getting mixed up in shit like that.Clearly, I’m wrong.
I always had a feeling something was going on in that house.My instincts told me so.
There was something about how Candace looked.
She always had a twinkle in her eyes.Then one day it was gone.
Something took it away.
Is there more than what she's told me?
The past and the present are colliding again.
Fuck…
