Lindsay sees Trevour standing at the opposite side and without wasting any time, rushes towards him. She crosses the road carefully and as she reaches Trevour, she says:
‘I’m so sorry Trevour that you had to suffer because of me’
Trevour wasn’t paying close attention to what she was saying, but her face was only reminding him of his rejection in love. His mind was getting a violent state. So without hearing her completely, he quickly slashes her throat with the knife causing her to bleed like a fountain and her body collapsing on the road. Rupert and Pamela get a little frightened. Trevour had killed Lindsay unintentionally and now she was dead after losing so much blood in few seconds. The scene was moving so fast that Trevour was unaware of anything that was happening around. After a while, when he drops the knife, his mind gets some of its normal state. He gets horrified and stunned seeing Lindsay’s body lying on road that was bleeding with a terrible wound on neck. The cars had stopped and a crowd had gathered watching the scene. Trevour was getting mixed up. He was scared, he was shocked, and most of all, he was sad. He slowly faints seeing Lindsay dead.
Trevour’s Mental Condition
July / One Week Later
Austin admits his brother in the mental hospital who had become a psychological patient after witnessing the death of his love, Lindsay. The doctors were diagnosing his disease. So one day, Doctor Jeff takes Austin to the corridor and tells him:
‘I’m afraid your brother has a very serious condition’
‘What is it?’ Austin cries.
‘Well in this condition, he has forgotten this murder incident and doesn’t believe the fact that Lindsay is dead’
‘Oh…then?’
‘So then every woman he sees, I mean like any woman who is nice to him, appears as Lindsay in front of his eyes. His mind shows him every woman as Lindsay. You can call it delusions’
‘You mean every woman?’ Austin clears his idea. ‘Like every nurse walking in your hospital appears as Lindsay in front of him’
‘Yes his mind makes him believe that. It’s not exactly schizophrenia, but it’s somewhere similar to it’
The doctor takes Austin to Trevour’s room where he was admitted. The doctor opens the door and shows him Trevour lying on his bed with his hands tied with straps. A nurse was standing in his room. Trevour was talking to her normally:
‘Lindsay I’ve been writing poems for you, but I lost my book at your house’
‘Don’t worry’ the nurse says nicely to the patient, ‘I’ll find it for you’
‘Oh thank you’ Trevour smiles, ‘I really love you Lindsay’
Austin weeps seeing his brother in this condition and asks Doctor Jeff:
‘Is there anyway he can be cured’
‘…I’m not sure, but we’ll try our best’
Pamela who was following Austin and Doctor Jeff in the hospital had heard everything about Trevour’s condition and had also seen him. The selfish and evil-minded woman had no sympathy for him. She was just after that diamond ring.
Rupert and Pamela’s Strategy
That night, Pamela and Rupert were at their home, with their stuff all packed up. Pamela had told him everything about Trevour’s condition and was worried that Trevour’s ring might be lost.
‘So you’re not leaving Vienna until you get that diamond ring’ he asks her.
‘No!’
‘Then what do you suggest? I just don’t understand, we have gathered enough jewellery, but you’re just after that blue ring’
‘I checked it in the Internet today’ she replies. ‘It’s million euros worth’
‘So how are you going to get it? You don’t even know where it is’
‘It’s at his home or it’s at the hospital. I’m sure about these two places’
‘Ok wait let me think of a way…that would be beneficial for both of us’
Rupert moves aside and walks around thinking of a new plan. Pamela sits on sofa thinking about how Lindsay died, but they had no sympathy for anyone dead or alive.
After several minutes, Rupert stops walking and talks with Pamela,
‘Ok Pamela, now I have a plan. If we both work on it carefully then we both can have whatever we desire from Trevour’
‘Ok, what is it?’
‘Pamela do you remember that house on rent near the lake?’
‘Yes’
‘We’ll purchase it for a month’ he suggests, ‘and after that, we’ll kidnap Trevour from the mental hospital, with help of some nurses’
‘And then we’ll keep him in that house?’ she guesses.
‘Exactly’ he smiles, ‘and then you will play love with Trevour being Lindsay, as you said that every girl he sees is Lindsay for him’
‘Ok…then what?’
‘Then, I’ll demand money from his brother Austin against Trevour’s location…and then after having it all we will leave Vienna’
‘But wait, what about the diamond ring?’ she asks.
‘We will get it, but for that you have to be careful with your words. Do not ask him about it, until he mentions himself’
‘Why?’
‘Because Lindsay might not be aware about it and if he realizes that you’re not Lindsay then our plan will fail’
‘…Oh, I guess you’re right’ she replies.
‘So as he talks about it, you’re going to ask him where it is. He’ll tell you his home or the hospital’
‘Ok…I’m ready to play’
What Happened Further?
Next day’s night, at the mental hospital, one of the nurses was standing outside Trevour’s room 427. The other nurse comes to her and says:
‘You know something? When I was changing this patient’s clothes I found a really expensive ring in his pants’ pocket. This patient had been wearing the same clothes since the day of murder’
‘Oh where is it?’
‘I’ve kept it hidden somewhere, I’ll return it if someone asks about it’
‘Ok’
That moment, all the lights are turned off. Pamela arrives before one of the nurses and secretly talks to her,
‘I need a favor from you’
‘What favor? Who are you?’
‘I want you to help me escape the patient in this room’ Pamela says quickly.
‘What are you saying? Are you a kidnapper?’
To make it quick, Pamela offers her quite a sum of money and persuades her to let her and Rupert take away Trevour with them. The confused and greedy nurse agrees and gives them the keys so that they could quickly take away Trevour without waking anyone. Rupert arrives and creates a scene making it look like an attack on the nurse, so that her job won’t be at risk.
After they shift Trevour outside safely and secretly, Rupert leaves a note under Trevour’s pillow saying:
“I escaped because I’m not mad, I’m perfectly ok. Don’t worry and please don’t try to find me. I’m going back to Lindsay my love”.
As they leave, the nurse wonders why they didn’t ask about the diamond ring. But anyways, she creates a panicking situation and makes a call to Austin telling him that his brother was found missing from his room.
August
After Trevour enjoys the sunset on a lake with Pamela, who was Lindsay according to him, he feels as if someone was capturing their pictures. He runs towards the house with Pamela. Pamela makes him sleep on the bed and leaves the room. She comes outside the house, and talks to Rupert who had taken the photographs.
‘Did Trevour say anything about the ring?’ Rupert asks.
‘No!’ she replies getting irritated now. ‘And I’m tired of playing love with this mentally retarded person’
‘Just few more days, if we’re not getting the ring, then we’re definitely getting the ransom from his brother’
‘Let’s see, make sure that the cops don’t find us’
Rupert leaves and Pamela continues being Lindsay for few more days.
The day she gets told about the diamond ring by the nurse, she collects it from the hospital and finally escapes from Vienna with Rupert.
Undiagnosed Disease
End of August
Now Trevour was admitted back to the hospital. Austin had brought him back from the house near the lake. The nurses had kept him in another ward, which was quite safe. Trevour was still mentally unstable and was unaware of the fact that Lindsay his love had died. He didn’t believe anyone when he was told about the murder caused by him, but he continued writing poems in new styles, whenever he felt Lindsay were not around him anymore.
So one day, he was outside his room sitting on a wheel chair. Two nurses arrive before him and one of them says:
‘It’s time for your medicine’
‘Ok Lindsay’ he smiles seeing both of them.
‘Which one of us is Lindsay to you?’ the other nurse asks to judge his mental condition.
He looks at both of them for a while and then says dragging his speech:
‘You both are’
The nurses realize that his mind was badly ill and he must be taken away. So one of them goes behind him and takes him along with the wheel chair pushing the chair towards the opposite direction.
Austin was standing at a little distance weeping, seeing his brother in this condition. Doctor Jeff comes by his side and consoles him by keeping his hand on his shoulder. Austin rubs off his tears and says:
‘So where are they taking him?’
‘Well he’ll be given some electrical shocks to get some stability’
‘They’re painful aren’t they?’
‘…Yes’ the doctor replies, ‘but the thing that’s disturbing me is that I still haven’t diagnosed his disease exactly. I’m seeing this sort of condition for the first time’
‘So this isn’t schizophrenia?’
‘No, it’s quite different. But the chances of cure are very less’
Austin gets more sad and takes out another piece of paper,
‘Well, no matter how insane my brother became with time, he never lost his creativity…His talent of poetry writing’
He unfolds the paper and reads out a poem written by his brother entitled ‘My Angel’:
My Angel where have you disappeared?
Taking away my sleep, making me cry,
My Angel between us who has interfered?
Enforcing me to weep, leading me to die.
My Angel I know you’re around somewhere,
Running away from me, breaking me apart,
My Angel I can feel you in this atmosphere,
With a painful glee, in my tender heart.
My Angel where have you flown away?
Leaving me behind, traumatized forever,
My Angel do you remember the day?
When you admired my mind, as my creativity to you was clever.
My Angel I beg you to come back,
Before it gets too late, that I burn to a coal,
My Angel if nothing then just show me a track,
To reach you my soul mate, because you are my final goal.
