Usha is helping Josh and Matt find their father. Somewhere in the story Marie (Josh and Matt mysterious childhood friend) decides to join the team. Who is Usha? And why is she interested in helping them find their father?
——-
“Who are you?” asked Josh irritated.
“Can’t answer that.” Usha replied bluntly, sitting on a chair folding her legs.
“All I can say,” she continued, “I can help you find your father.” With a finger she touched the chair she was sitting on. It was filthy. Just as she has suspected. Maybe next time I should make these meetings somewhere else, than a motel. I don’t know why movies use it this much.
“And why would you do that?”
“I need him.” she cleaned her finger with a tissue she found on the table.
Silence.
Josh laughed looking at Matt’s concerned face.
“What? You really think we should trust her?”
He shrugged. “We have no other choice.”
“She is of the same kind of those who kidnaped our father.” Josh pointed out aggressively.
Usha laughed loudly.
“Same kind! Oh please! I’m stronger than those bastards who took your father.”
“My answer is no.”
“But Josh–”
“I said no” Josh interrupted. “We don’t make alliances with our enemies.”
Josh grabbed his brother’s arm and pulled him towards the room’s door.
“That’s a pity.” Usha said standing.
The brothers stopped and looked at her.
“What do you mean?” Josh asked irritated.
“You will die, even before knowing who has your father, and eventually he will die too.”
She stood and stopped an inch away Josh’s face.
“You don’t know what’s really out there.” she barely whispered.
