Martha and James were at a hospital sitting at the waiting area. Martha had just been informed about what happened to Carlos. When she heard what happened she rushed to the hospital. James who was close to her also followed. They had arrived at the hospital and the doctors had told them to sit at the waiting area. Martha was now crying fearing that her husband might lose his life.
Carlos had actually died from the shooting but the doctors did not want to tell her right away. James who was feeling a little awkward because she was resting on his shoulder and crying also felt bad for Carlos.
'what was he so scared of that he could not even tell his wife' James thought to himself. Since James did not tell Martha about Carlos heart rate whenever he talked to an unknown caller he was now feeling a little guilty. Maybe if he had told her, she would have found a way to protect her husband. At least that was what he thought.
Carlos was shoot in his chest, close to his heart. Carlos had lost enough blood and before they had reached the hospital he had died.
'Someone did kill Carlos but why?' James thought to himself. James thoughts could be heard by Edmund Theodore, the other person in his head.
"His death is not actually our business" Edmund told James.
"But, how can you say that?" James said back to Edmund, a little offended.
Edmund who just realized what he had said did not give him a reply back to James.
When James was going to the hospital with Martha. He was expecting the same hospital where he meet Isabella, but it wasn't. If he was not able to meet Isabella, he would not be able to get his pen.
The doctor had not informed Martha that her husband is already dead. She was only informed that he had been shot.
"I knew something was wrong, but he refused to tell me, just why? and now look at him, his situation currently is not a little bit funny" Martha said those words while also crying, herr head was still on Carlos's left shoulder.
"Maybe he had a very good reason why he did not tell you" Carlos said to her, still feeling a little awkward about the whole situation.
"what good reason can he have for not telling his wife" Martha said to James. James did not bother to give her a reply.

"what wrong, miller?" a male student asked Miller, the son of Carlos.
Martha and James were just informed of Carlos situation. Martha cried her eyes. Martha did not want to tell Miller instantly. But the doctor advised her that it would be better she told Miller of the situation. Martha had finally told her son, what is going on, even at that she felt really unhappy about the entire situation.
After hearing of his father's situation, Miller could no longer stay in school so he had to come home to comfort his mother.
Miller was around eighteen years old and was around five foot, nine inches. He wasn't that tall. He had a beautiful skin. His hair was black. Miller's face had some signs of little pimples all over the place. He had the voice of a child that had never experienced puberty. Miller was actually a smart kid. His stomach was a little bigger than his chest. Miller was on his way home when his phone started ringing.
BUZZ***BUZZ***BUZZ***
When he looked at the phone screen, he could see the name Watson. Watson was Miller's best friend in school. They were so close that some people thought they were blood brothers.
"Hey" Miller said as he picked the phone call.
"What's wrong, Miller?" Watson said through the phone. "You left without saying anything, i hope everything is fine?".
"Yes, it is fine, i just need to meet my mom, it is really urgent" Miller replied through the phone.
Miller did not tell Watson the truth of what was happening. "Okay, stay safe bro and come back safely" Watson said to Miller as he also ended the call.
Watson has ended the call and Carlos was still inside the vehicle (it was a public vehicle), he sat close to the window and he could see that rain was now falling heavily outside. thought of him and his father started to run through his head.
A particular thought was now re playing itself in his head. He could remember vividly when He saw his father Making some strange phone call in the parlour. The father did not know Miller was there. Miller had been playing game that night and had not slept. Immediately he heard someone footsteps he immediately turned the TV off. His father had warned him to stop watching movies at night.
"I did what you told me to do" Carlos Edward said to an unknown caller stuttering. Carlos was shaking and his son Miller who hid himself in the dark could see that his father was shaking, 'why is dad so scared' he thought to himself.
Miller could not hear the words of the other caller, but at least he could hear the words of his father.
"...." the unknown caller said to Carlos. Miller could not hear the words of the unknown caller.
"I can't do that we made an agreement remember, one contract and it is over, is that not what we agreed on" Carlos was telling the unknown caller.
"...." the unknown caller said to Carlos. Miller could not hear the words of the unknown caller.
"But why? most i do that, pls can't you people send someone else?" Carlos said to the caller.
"...." the unknown caller said to Carlos. Miller could not hear the words of the unknown caller.
"Please not my wife or children, i will do whatever you tell me to do." Carlos said back to him.
The phone Carlos used currently was actually a different phone from the original phone he usee around at home. His wife never knew the phone was inside the phone. After he was done with the phone call, Carlos hide the phone inside the kitchen. He turned the phone off and kept it underneath some pile of food stuff. Some dozens of egg were on particular place at the house. Underneath those dozens of egg where a little place that could be opened in the kitchen. It was small enough to keep a phone. His wife never knew of this. Miller saw where his father had hide the phone.
After this memory had played in his head, he was wondering, what is father was so scared of. But he made up his mind that when he got home, the first thing he was going to do was to find that phone.

"did you do what you were told to do?" said a huge man to another while trying to light his cigarettes.
"yes sir, he refused to perform his own part of the bargain, so i sent Agent 42 to kill him" said a man with a deep voice. it was the same man that was talking to Carlos through the phone the same day James came to their house.
"sir, Agent 23 one of our agents, who is working at the Metropolitan Hospital, he has an ability to detect meta humans (human beings with ability), he said he saw a man sitting close to Martha in the waiting area of the hospital. He said he could see his aura, the aura was different from the others around him, Which means that person was a mutant" said the unknown man with deep voice.
"Eric, was it Miller Edward, their son" The man with a cigarette in his hand said to Eric. Eric was the unknown caller with deep voice that had been calling Carlos for some time now, Eric was working for this man in front of him.
"No sir, i heard his name is James THEODORE and he now resides in their house" Eric replied with his deep voice.
"Then you have another mission to accomplish, bring me that James THEODORE" The unknown man said to Eric.
"Yes sir" Eric said as he left the room.
