Chapter Fifteen

After the very long and eventful meeting I had with Toby, it was now time for me to have a tough meeting with Lukas, where he's gonna learn some tough truths. I didn't know how I was gonna tell him, was I just gonna come out with or let him down easy? I walk with Toby back to the main room, the whole way that same smirk did not leave his lips, in his mind he had won this round, but he doesn't know that I'm just getting started. As the doors open, Lukas was throwing a rubber band ball in the air, while Brandon was busily typing on his laptop, but by his face I could tell that he was frustrated. "All I'm saying is, Batman has more going for him than Superman" Lukas says throwing the ball so high it hit the ceiling, then bounced off and was inches from hitting Brandon on the head. "Taylor! Finally you're back! Lukas go and do your meeting while I get on with my work in peace" Brandon exclaims looking like he was about to have a breakdown, I guess Lukas has been his fun talkative self while we were gone. "Oh don't worry man, we can finish our conversation in a bit" Lukas smiles jumping off the table and walking over, Brandon takes a look at me all worried which does make a little laugh escape my lips. Lukas was soon walking out the door, but he didn't actually know where he was going so I wasn't sure why he went ahead. I send a little smile over to Toby who looked a tad worried, he knew what the conversation with Lukas was gonna be about. With a sigh, I turn around and head out the door where Lukas was stood with his back against the wall. I tell him to follow me before I start to lead him towards the meeting room I was just in with Toby, where we're gonna have a majorly different conversation. Before I knew it, we were sat at the table and I somehow had to explain what we know about his father. The only problem was, I couldn't find the words to actually tell him what I needed to. "Before we start all this, I wanna say that I know about you and Toby. Just from seeing the way you handle your work here, I know you're gonna be the most amazing Luna our pack has ever seen" he smiles dramatically, this causes a smile to form on my lips immediately, I have been worried at the thought of being a Luna. "Thank you so much Lukas and thank you again, for keeping the secret a secret until I know what to do" I smile which he just waves his hand around, in a it's nothing manner "now we have came here to have this meeting because I need to discus something important with you, I've wanted to have this talk since I found out but I've only now been given permission to do so" I say looking up from the table at him slightly, I should have thought about how I was gonna go about this before! "To be able to catch Richard, we have to first find out the reasoning for him setting his sights on you in the first place, this led us to look into your background and family" I start to explain while pulling the folder closer to me, this held the photo of Richard and Lukas's mum and the baby photo. "I don't know how I'm gonna say this so I'll just come out with it" I say still not being able to say what I needed to, he gives me a worried look but nods telling me to go on "Richard is your biological father" I say finally looking up at him, where his face just holds shock. At first he looks down at the table confused, but then rises from his chair beginning to pace around the room. This was so much for him to take in all at once, I wouldn't have a clue how I would be able to process any of this. He soon stops and just points at me. "How, how did you find all this out and what even made you start looking into this?" He asks sounding rather agitated, which I totally understood his reasoning behind being agitated. "We didn't even think to look into any of this, but when me and Brandon went to search the location of where Richard had left the threats and found out about the attack, while inspecting the scene we found some things" I explain while opening the file to revel the photos, where I place them on the table so he could see them. He walks over taking the photo of his mother and Richard, he leans against the wall just staring at it. I see tears build up in his eyes that he shakes his head away to stop, crying in front of me is probably something he doesn't want to do, but I would totally understand if he did. "We didn't just want to go off that because it could have been a coincidence, so we managed to get a DNA sample from you and already had one of Richard and every test we conducted, all came back with the same result" I say now sliding the document with the results of the test, he walks over also taking a look at the document. "How did you get my DNA sample, it was from when you cleaned the table when we went to lunch wasn't it?" He asks solving that mystery by himself, I just nod my head hoping he wouldn't be annoyed about that "I have to give it to you guys, that's clever" he sighs throwing the document back on the table, while he still remained standing. "We didn't want to ask you for a sample, just in case we were wrong for whatever reason" I tell him where he just smiles, thankfully, he wasn't annoyed at me. "Why didn't my mum just tell me?" He asks falling in his seat, still staring at the photo in his hands the tears making a reappearance. "Maybe your mum didn't want you to have to find out what type of person your biological father was, I mean I can just see what an incredible job your mum and step dad have done with the incredible person you are today" I smile trying to make him feel even a tiny bit better, if that's even remotely possible after hearing what he just has "this doesn't change anything, you're still the same amazing person you were before you found any of this out" I continue which does make him smile, I hope I'm making him feel a little bit better about the situation. "Thank you Taylor, you're right it doesn't change anything but gives me more incentive to help you find this asshole" he says putting the photo back on the table, whilst sitting up straight "I will send a message to my mum to tell her to expect a visit from you, whether she likes it or not she's a part of this story" he says which does make me smile, he could have just blown us off and said he wasn't gonna help, but he's actually doing the opposite. "Morgan was actually trying to track your mother down, but was finding it difficult to find her" I say while pulling more documents out, there's always a bunch of paperwork you have to fill out with every interview we do here. "My mum likes to keep off the grid, probably due to Richard, well it's time she came out of hibernation" he says point blank which does make me chuckle, I open the document while taking the lid off my pen "was my bio dad the one that attacked you as a child and turned you human?" He asks looking up slightly as he spoke, I sigh placing my pen back down on the table while nodding my head. "That's why it's great we've got you on our team helping, we can stop him trying to do the same to others" I say with a little smile, I didn't like talking about what happened a lot and that's all that's been happening recently "anyway, let's get on" I smile picking my pen back up to start to work, let's catch this guy.
