As the sun rose above the horizon, Penny who was collecting glass yawned and felt her eyes close.
Aleph, who was helping smiled and approached Penny whom she took as a princess.
Penny, who was tired closed her eyes and snuggled into Aleph's chest. "I'm sorry you have to carry me like this, but I'm really quite tired.
I think I just need to get some sleep so I can get my body to replenish."
Aleph placed a kiss on her forehead and led her into her room where he placed her on her bed before turning the joy on her face into a completely serious one.
So he left Penny's room and went downstairs to the living room where Jackson was sitting.
"Jackson, I'll go out and buy some milk. I'll be back before Penny wakes up."
Jackson who was quite tired looked with a smile at his son-in-law. "Be careful. You will find the car keys hanging and before I forget to take my gun, it is dangerous to go without a weapon after what happened."
Aleph nodded and took the gun from his father-in-law's hand before grabbing the keys and leaving the house, at which point Jackson sighed and turned on the television.
'The death toll from the riots in the city is estimated in the thousands and more than 3,000 have been reported missing in the area of the industrial park.
The police have been working hard to put an end to the riots that continue to exist in some remote areas of the city.
Reinforcements from other nearby cities have been arriving in recent hours as well as police and rescuers.
This has been the greatest misfortune that our city has suffered. The mayor presented his resignation during the morning, the president will also give a speech in a few more hours to announce the state of emergency in the city.
As for the explosion that caused all this, the exact origin of the misfortune is unknown, however, experts mention that it could possibly be a terrorist attack.
Although I do not rule out that it was an accident caused by chemicals abandoned in the factories, which were released when the containers that contained them did not receive the maintenance they needed.
In this misfortune, we can only try to help as much as we can, also as an emergency measure, the state government will establish a dialogue table with all those affected by the disturbances and the explosion.
In order to find a solution on the payment of the damage caused, it is expected that the insurance companies will work at full speed to be able to liquidate those affected…'
Jackson who was listening to that could only sigh. However, at that moment, the phone from his house began to be heard.
So he took it with curiosity and replied, "Mr. Jackson, we are talking about GFM insurance. According to the report delivered to the company that night, you and your family suffered a loss of glass and a 2017 model car.
In a few days, a member of the company will be coming to your house to be able to coordinate the corresponding actions with the payment and settlement of the damages suffered.
In GFM insurance, we will always be grateful for your trust. We hope that this is to your liking."
Jackson could then hear the phone hang up, so he scratched his cheek. "I guess they must be too busy to wait for me to answer.
When the employee comes, I will tell him my complaints since it cannot be possible that they are not very empathic, but I suppose that it is part of their company policies.
Although now that I think about it, why is Aleph taking so long to get the milk?"
Aleph, who was in a dark alleyway sneezed and using his hand wiped her nose before sneering at the corpse at his feet.
The body belonged to a low-level demon who had taken over the body of one of the city's poor citizens in a desperate attempt to physically remain in the world.
Aleph took a deep breath and felt a sense of calm, as there were no more threats near his home.
"I hope the reality break hasn't brought more of these guests."
After saying those words, he turned around and began to walk while the corpse spontaneously began to burn in green flames.
The corpse then turned to ashes, but not before hearing a piercing scream.
Aleph just laughed as he walked. "Don't be a crybaby, just your little soul suffers a burn too deep that will take a few centuries to repair.
It could have been much worse if he had really wanted to kill you."
After a full hour, he returned to the house carrying a pack of milk and decided to go to bed with Penny.
Upon entering his room, he looked at her wife with a smile and without thinking twice he lay down next to her while he hugged her like a little girl.
Penny, who was sleeping could feel Aleph's soft embrace, so she snuggled up next to her while the security of being in those big arms of hers caused her an unconscious happiness.
Lily, who was in the room, relaxed next to her husband. "I guess the boys are already resting as they should, unfortunately we two have to stand guard.
But being that way brings back memories of high school, you, the captain of the baseball team, and me the prom queen.
What those times, although our life improved a lot when I got pregnant with Penny, we may have been parents at an early age, but it was the best decision we made.
Now with the insurance, we just need to pay off a lot of the debt and maybe we can think about having another baby. I think we'll have enough time to take care of the grandkids once Penny and Aleph graduate from college."
Jackson, who had listened his wife, gave her a kiss on the forehead and hugged her "I guess it's not a bad idea, we could have a boy and that our daughter has daughters that way we will enjoy raising other little princesses."
