"You don't know ?", Emma asked Vanya curiously.
"Took you long enough to understand".
"Does Pakistan not have this system? ".
"What system? ".
"System of killing sweet blood".
"Of course it does".
"Yeah I mean, every country does".
"The problem is we don't know why ".
"Vanya , don't change the subject", Leo started to give death glares at Vanya.
"Were we on one? ", she said pretending not to know when everyone in the room started to glare at her which made the secret in her heart come onto her mouth like it had lost gravity but she closed her mouth like the words were trying to come out but she denied them to get out when she let out a big sigh from what Erika had said .
" Come on , tell us , it's not like we will kill you".
"FINE THEN , don't be disappointed because I don't know
" You don't know ?".
" Yeah , what does it seems like I am saying? I said I . DON'T. KNOW ".
"My poor grandpa , he have a lot to do ", Kai said while dramatically looking down.
" What do you mean-NO , NEVER , I don't want to get the BRT ok?, not happening, seriously NO, look I am not interested in it?", Vanya said in complete denial.
" but we are ", Ruth disagreed with her.
"Not that we are interested but we have to", Aiden said worriedly.
"Why so?".
"To kill you. What does it seem like? , of course, to protect you duh ", Erica said sarcastically.
"Can you stop being sarcastic for once", Kai looked at Erika, annoyed.
" No".
" Stop fighting ok".
"Let's go", Aiden got up.
"Where? ".
" What does it look like to you, Baskin Robins? No, to grandpa Finn", Aiden said.
"Like sis like bro", Kai said while going up the basement, hands in the pocket, chin up, and not to mention full proudness.

"So that's what happened", Kai explained every bit of detail to grandpa Finn.
"Oooook..... Then what am I supposed to do?".
Ruth gave a big sigh and said, "Help us ".
"N-n-o", he said while hesitating because he wasn't pretty satisfied by his answer either.
"The-but-no-but-eh *sigh* oh my god, it's taking too long for me to process that short answer of yours, but- you know that we came here with all our hopes in the means of getting your help, I mean I still don't understand why you don't want to help us", Erika tried persuading him and tried not to become sarcastic to show respect to the elderly.
"Look kids, it's not like I don't want to help you it's because-".
"You have to. Just so you know that Kai had missed a really important part in his not-so-detailed explanation, that those lab poppers have Avery under their control, and we don't know in which torture they would have put her in, look She is our friend - no, this word, a friend is too weak to describe all of our relationship towards each other, we are a family, we all are and believe me we would put all our efforts, strength, energy life and what not, so you HAVE to help us in this ", with that Leo left everyone in the room look towards him with out-of-sockets eyes.
"I think he should be a spokesman, right?", Aiden said to Emma who agreed with him.
"Will you do it?", Erika asked to verify if he agreed or not.
Grandpa Finn was still staring at the carpet, drowned in deep space when Kai pulled him back while saying in an ear-splitting voice, " Oh woooooow, I never knew that our carpet was this resplendent that you are staring it so intensely . oh come on just do it.".
Grandpa Finn held tight onto the chair which he was sitting on while the rest of them were sitting on the carpet, looking at him intensely when grandpa Finn stood up making everyone shocked in the room saying in a proud voice, "What do I have to do?".
"Kai you said your grandpa was not able to walk or stand, then why is he......", Ruth was looking too befuddled but the expression which she was having was shared by everyone else in the room including Kai himself.
When Erika shouted looking towards grandpa Finn's right leg whose ankle part was revealed which he tried to hide afterward "NOW, WHAT IS THAT".
---
Sitting in a middle of a hushed room while staring at the door in front of her which was all opaque and had a small transparent square-shaped window that gave her a view of a white plain wall, It was a boring view to set eyes on, but Avery seemed to be staring at it hoping Mr . Jason would come so that she could at least not be cliff-hanged anymore but no matter how many hours she stared there no one came, not even a single thing was heard.
She scoffed and changed her direction towards the ceiling of the room which was no different from anything.
"What was I even expecting, for him to come to this room and give chocolate ice cream to me while telling me everything, you are his hostage Avery a damn hostage, be realistic-NO, I will always be imaginative- wait what do we have here", she looked towards her side and got a little focused then smirked, what she was looking at now was a table at the corner of the room which had some useful materials for her.
There were sharp objects like a knife and a scissor and a lot of other sharp things.
She had the proudest smirk on her face.
"Maybe if I just activate my frog abilities then .....", her smirk got even wider.
With that she activated her hopping cell and started to hop nearer to that table, when she started to get close to it she fasted her speed like a flash and started hopping more aggressively when she lost her balanced and was given an unexpected visit from the gravity.
She was now on the ground while her hands and feet and her whole body were tied to the chair.
All her hairs which got opened because of her loose hair tie were now on her face unable her to see anything and also unable the person to see her face who had now entered the room.
