The Unknown a Project 863 Story

A Bittersweet Goodbye

Brianna- Yes, I promise

Eric- Yeah, I Promise.

Ben- Ok, your mother's name is, was Evelin Rose.

Eric- (Gasps) Wait Subject 14 is her mother!?

Ben- Yes, when I told you that she'd died due to a failed Life's Blood Test, I was lying.

Eric- So she's still alive?

Ben- Unfortunately, no... She's not.

Eric- Let me guess, Nelson had a hand in her death?

Ben- That is correct, after I helped her escape Syntec and hide, I promised her that I would keep her safe, but...

Eric- Nelson found out she was alive and that you helped her escape?

Ben- Yes, he threatened to make me kill her as his puppet if I didn't do as he asked.

Eric- So during our conversation in the parking lot outside Spellbound when you suddenly changed your tone and said "Benjamin I Will Kill Her" ...

Ben- That was Nelson threatening her life.

Brianna- So what happened to her?

Ben- After I got put in jail, Nelson told me that I'd failed him for the last time and that now he'd be taking things into his own hands.

Eric- So he took control of you and got you out of jail and killed her.

Ben (Sad)- Yes, he did. (Sad Sigh) Eric, she was the love of my life... She was the love of my life, and he made me watch as he killed her.

Eric- Ben... I'm truly sorry, but on the bright side you don't have to worry about Nelson anymore.

Ben- What do you mean?

Eric- His connection to this timeline... To us has been permanently severed.

Ben- What does that mean?

Eric- It means he can't hurt you or anyone you care about anymore.

Ben- Your serious? He's finally gone?

Eric- Yes Ben he is.

Ben- Oh... Eric, thank you.

Eric- Your welcome Ben.

Brianna- Hey dad?

Ben- Yeah?

Brianna- Do you mind if I give you a hug?

Ben- No, no I don't mind at all.

After 13 years Ben and his daughter finally have a good moment together.

Brianna- Thank you Eric, thank you for reuniting me with my father.

Eric- I'm glad I could help bring you two back together.

Ben- Eric, I am in your debt. Thank you.

Eric- Your welcome Ben. Consider us even.

Ben- Of course.

Eric- Well I've got to go, but I'll see you on Monday, right?

Ben- Yes, of course. Goodbye Eric.

Eric- Goodbye Benjamin.

Eric leaves and heads back towards his house.

Brianna- Hey dad?

Ben- Yes?

Brianna- What did Eric mean by "I'll see you on Monday"?

Ben- Oh there's just something planned for Monday.
