(Phone ringing).
"Hello, Bowen's residence".
"Mom!, it's me Nate".
"Nate!?, where have you been, I've been worried sick about you".
"I'm sorry mom, I got held up in a traffic".
"Hmm, traffic hann".
"Yes mom, I promise, I'll be home soon".
"Honey!, it's past 8, you know it's not safe out there ".
"I know, but I'm old enough to look after myself mom ".
Harry walks into the room, listening to the conversation between his wife and his son on the phone and decided to interrupt
"Is that Nate?!".
"Yeah, he said he got held up in a traffic ".
"Give me the phone ".
"Son!, you better get your ass down here right now all you never get the chance to leave this house ever again".
"I'm sorry Dad, roger that ".
The next morning, nate woke up on his bed, so his father sitting on the wooden chair beside his bed
"Hey Dad ".
"What the hell will you thinking... staying out late last night ".
"Dad, I'm pretty sure nine in the evening is not that late ".
"Huh, you think?, you know it's not safe out there".
"You've got stop worrying about me ".
"Hell no!, oh you think I'm worried?, I'm not worried, I'm only concerned because it's my job to keep you safe and not that I care. Listen the next time you stay out late or do anything dangerous that might get you in trouble, I'm going to drop the wheel and act like we never met ".
"Dad!?".
"Thank goodness you're not the only child I have".
Harry walked out of the room angrily just as his wife decided to see what was going on. She walked close to her son just as she noticed Harry said something about his safety".
"Honey!, what's wrong?".
"He said he's going to disown me the next time I stay out late ".
"I'm so sorry honey, he might be aggressive and vicious but he did make a point".
"What point Mom!".
"You know this city isn't safe. After those monster out there were created, things aren't the same anymore. Even the police gets killed out there ".
"Exactly Mom!, we shouldn't just stay back and hide in our homes while some rogues take away the peace in our city!. The explosion; dark matter washing the whole city...they are both another man's mistakes, why must we be the ones to bare the burden".
"Nate, there is nothing we can do to stop this. This...is our fate".
"Well if nobody's going to do something I will!".
"Nate!, I understand your frustrations but you should consider what your father said".
"I don't care about what he says, he hates me!".
He stood up and left the room lividly.
"Nate!, Nate!...".
