Lachlan is sitting in the front of his car, staring through the window at the house ahead. He pulls out the card the priest handed him and stares at the address. He stares at the letterbox and notices he has the right house. He grabs the door and pushes it open, stepping out, taking the folder he swiped off the Priests desk. He takes a deep breath and closes the door. He starts walking towards the well gardened house and steps up the curb, and starts walking up the footpath. He reaches the doorstep and rings the doorbell.
: Just a minute!
The sound of locks being unlocked snaps Lachlan out of his memories. He stares at the door as i swings open, revealing a rather young, beautiful women, no older than 23. She stares at Lachlan with caution and Lachlan smiles at her.
Woman: Can i help you?
Lachlan smiles, nerves racking through his brain, butterflies in the pit of his stomach. He runs his hand through his hair before taking a deep breath.
Lachlan: Im here to see Damien.
The woman smiles and nods. She takes a step inside and shouts down the hallway. She beckons for Lachlan to join her in the house and takes him to the lounge room and tells him to get comfortable. Lachlan sits down and he hears voices down the hallway. Almost immediately a large man with short, brown hair and green eyes is seen coming into the lounge. He sits in a seat next to Lachlan and smiles at him.
Damien: What can i help you with?
Lachlan smiles and nods at Damien, shaking his hand. He pulls out a card and hands it to Damien. Damien studies it for a moment and blinks. He asks his partner to leave the room and she obeys. When his partner is out of earshot he lowers his voice, barely audible.
Damien: Where did you get this?
Lachlan: Father O'Grady gave it to me. He also gave me this.
Lachlan hands Damien the folder and Damien takes it with apprehension. He flips the folder and starts skimming through the police report. He closes the folder without saying a word. He stares at Lachlan and studies him for a moment.
Damien: So. You are My Brother. Lachlan. Sorry i dont seem cheerful, its just that i never thought id hear from you, or mother again.
Lachlan: Speaking of mother, where is she?
Damien: She is in a mental asylum in Perth.
Lachlan stares at him, not surprised by this piece of information. He stares at Damien, who is staring as intensely back at him. Lachlan smiles and both sit in silence for a while, before Damien breaks its peaceful ambiance.
Damien: You have a scar too?
Lachlan nods and stands up. He pulls off his shirt and turns, showing Damien the scar burnt forever into his skin. Damien stares at it, before turning away, repulsed. He stands up and pulls off his shirt, revealing an Identical scar etched on his skin. Neither man says a word. They sit on the couch before Lachlan speaks.
Lachlan: I have been searching for many years, trying to find the answers of my childhood, about what happened, how i got this curse.
Damien stares at him shocked.
Damien: Curse? What curse?
Lachlan stares at him. He shakes his head and closes his eyes.
Lachlan: Once every month, I fall asleep and i wake up a week later with no recollection of the events that happened. I wake up covered in blood, completely naked, with weird satanic symbols drawn over my body in other peoples blood.
Damien stares in wonder. He stares at Lachlan who abruptly stands up. He picks up the folder and heads to the door followed by Damien.
Damien: Your leaving already?
Lachlan: Yes, i wanted to catch up with Mother. I need answers badly. I promise, i will come straight back if i find anything out. I need the address for that Asylum.
Damien nods, scribbles on a piece of paper and hands it to Lachlan, who smiles. Lachlan steps out of the door, which closes, ending the segment.
