Whenever Mr. Porter Brown would need to vent out his anger, he would choose Alex as his prop and started to beat him mercilessly without catching any grief on his emotions.
Just remembering about that memory, made Alex shuddered as he also thought of his friend and finally came to a decision, "Wha… what do you want me to do then?"
"That's like my son. Well, for now you don't have to do anything but I'll inform you whenever you have to be my puppet. Understood?" Porter Brown asked.
Alex just nodded his head with his face all wet, being covered by tears as Mr. Brown said goodbye and left the house..
