At the back seat of a black limousine sat,the son of Mr Edward Boone, Theodore Boone. Theodore,a twenty five year old, is young, agile, handsome, a business minded mogul, just like his father and most importantly, SINGLE. Beside him sat his personal body guard, Jay Carter.
Theodore looked out the window and sighed, as he read the huge and well designed bill board which read "WELCOME TO WALTON,A CITY OF GREAT POSSIBILITIES". Beneath those words,was a picture of his father, the face of Walton city. "There's no place like home" he mumbled as the limo zoomed past many skyscrapers, many companies, houses, estates, apartments, market's,a hospital,two hospitals to be exact,an animal shelter, the Walton city's police department,a prison, Boone Enterprises, and finally they arrived at the Boone Mansion,a beautiful architectural design that looked like something straight out of a disney movie, with a white fountain at the centre of a vast and well kept garden. The Mansion looked old and exotic, that it held no pretense to at glamour. The driver, skillfully ma overed the car and parked it,in the huge and well kept parking space, that held different sizes, and colors of cars and motorcycles,it was here that the driver parked the limo.
"Theodore, my handsome baby boy", Megan Boone,Theo mother said as she hugged him, when he approached the front door. "Mother" he hugged her "How was your trip son" "it was fine thanks for asking" he hugged her back "no need to get formal with me son" "Theo my boy" Mr Edward came and hugged his son "we've missed you" "I've missed you guys too, but where is Mia" Mia is Theodore's younger sister "here I am" screamed an excited Mia, running down the stairs "oh my goodness Theo, I've missed you so much,I thought I'd never see you again" she said,as she hugged him, afraid that he might just disappear "That's enough Malia, your brother needs to rest" his father said "yes, he's got a long day ahead of him,we organized a welcome party for you, we've invited lots of people,we even invited the entire staff of Boone Enterprises and some important dignitaries from the Mayor, down to the Inspector General Of Police, General Bob Alverrado, you know, the man who used to arrest you anytime you got into trouble, although then he was still a rookie....." his mom rattled on and on, until he arrived in the comfort of his room. "everything is exactly as you left it seven years ago, I didn't have the heart to change anything" true to Megan's word, nothing changed in his room, from the huge bed, to the celling, nothing changed, the only difference is that everywhere was clean. " Get some sleep,or are you hungry" his dad said " what kind of question is that, can't you see that he is both hungry and tired". Mia said "thanks Mia, but I've really missed you, maybe we can catch up on some things, you can tell me all that has, the past seven years" "of...of course,if that's what you really want". Both mom and dad left the two alone, Theodore decided to take a bath, after a thirty minutes bath,he came out with only a white towel, wrapped around his waist. A maid was setting the table for him in his room,Mia was busy texting someone "who are you texting" "oh, it's just Richy, I'm informing him of your arrival" "no need to do that,mom must have already invited him to my welcome home party tomorrow night" he said as he proceeded to dress "what the hell, Theo what happened to you" Mia asked horrified, after seeing the marks, imprints and bruises on his back, Theo cursed under his breath "it's nothing,I don't want to remember" "oh Theo, I'm sorry,it must have been horrible" she ran to him and hugged him.

April was still trying to comprehend what Joanna said, when she heard an announcement through the public address system. "Attention all workers of Boone Enterprises,Mr Edward Boone is hosting a welcome home party tomorrow night to celebrate the home coming of his son, Theodore Boone,who has finally returned home by the grace of God, after seven years of captivity, the entire Boone family, wishes to invite you all tomorrow night, so please be on your best behavior and on your best dresses, thank you all". "OMG,we get to go to Boone Mansion, it's a dream come true" Joanna screamed happily "wait, did he just say we are all invited" Simon asked "yes, I've heard that the Boone Mansion is big enough to hold us all"Joanna said "but even then, I'm sure that it's not only us that got invited,I mean the Boone family is the face of Walton,they are second in command, after the Mayor, the party is gonna be full of soooo many important dignitaries, from the Mayor, down to the Inspector General Of Police, and I doubt that the Mansion will be able to contain us all" Simon said "O ye of little faith, have you seen the Boone Mansion,it once housed Queen Anne, down to princess Lucia, the Mansion is up to the standards, the ballroom is even the biggest room in the house, I'm sure it will be able to hold us all, but the icing on the cake, is Theodore" Joanna said "I heard that he is a real beauty" a lady chipped in.
Finally, the day of the party arrived, Theodore and his best friend, Richard, were both busy cruising around in Richard's father's expensive blue sports car. "I've missed you so much buddy" Richard said "same here, so,how are things going, with the girls, the night club, and how is priscillia" "calm down dude, one at a time, things are going well,now that you're here,as for the night club,a new one just reopened down town and tomorrow is gonna be a blast." "How is Diana doing" Richard slowly eased the car to a holt "She hates you, Theodore, since what happened with her sister" "I want to see her,Richy" Richard brought the car back to speed "Look Theodore, everyone is happy that you are back, do you want to see the one person who isn't" "I need to make things right with her Richard" Richard turned on the radio in the car. "..... And in other news, Theodore Boone, son of feared business tycoon,Mr Edward Boone, is alive, after being ship recked and kidnapped for over seven years,has been found alive,in a remote island in the Pacific, but unfortunately, miss Isabella Diego, sister of the Walton city's top criminal lawyer,Miss Diana Diego didn't make it, she died after the ship went down. We are still trying to get a comment from Miss Diana Diego, but she refuses to speak to the press....." Richard turned the radio off. "Sorry about that" he said "No problem,at least I know where I stand at the moment".
