The Peacock 1239

 "How did he get from Colombia to Europe?"

"By airplane."

"Very funny."

"There's a lot I can't tell you.  Sensitive information.  But there is also a lot more that he didn't tell me.  Only in his last two years did he begin to open up to me, but by then it was too late.  He was already sliding into dementia."

"And he left you quite a wealthy man by the sounds of things."

"I have enough for tuition, plus to survive decently on for quite a few years, I would say."

"But the kid has given you your orders."

"That he has."

"Why does your sister feel entitled to the money?"

"They want to purchase an island in the Baltic Sea and build a centre for research in the occult sciences there, but it could be something even more nefarious."

"But how could they get the money from you if you are unwilling."

"Lindstrom has a lot of power.  He isn't human.  He's a monster.  And from what he's already tried to do to me I have good reason to fear him."

"Say no more.   We can Skype this evening if you want.

"Yes, please."

I love you, Christopher."

This I am not expecting.  and I am trying to erase the expression of shock that must now have taken control of my face.  "Thank you.  I love you too, Erik."

"You are my brother."

Yes...we are brothers."
