Arthur and Alpha are to spend three night in the cold waiting for Monday to come so as to be taken to the cold.
" Three nights here? Us? Nope, there's something to do. We can't just live in here and wait to be taken to court where the outcome is clearly known. What if we escape from the planet? Do you have any means bro?" Arthur asks Alpha as he smirks.
Alpha can see him but he can't as the lights are off. Most of the people held in remand are still awake. They open their ears to listen to this conversation. A conversation of hope. Others who were arrested while drunk driving are still cursing the police officers for not taking bribes. They are calling them names. A smell of Alcohol can be detected in most of the cells.
"Arthur, how did you hit me with the chair on my head? I didn't expect that. Why did you do that? I just wanted to teach the students a lesson. They would never repeat that," Alpha inquires as he clears the throat.
"So you want to kill people in the name of teaching them. Are you crazy?" Arthur says putting his hands on the head.
"Are you shocked? What if I tell you that I am thirsty of blood? Will you allow me to drink?" Alpha says.
"Vampire! Help. It's in here. Help! It is going to kill us! Help police! Woooooi! Please help! Vampire! Thirst of blood! It will be on my neck! Help!" a drunk person who is in the same cell with them yells hitting the doors causing security men to come.
"What is the commotion for?" a night guard asks.
"Vampire!" the scared prisoner sitting like a helpless frightened child yells pointing at Alpha and Arthur who are standing.
"So you two again? You have to be taken to another cell where dogs guard. You must stop terrorism. You have another charge to be filed against you. Why did you come here? We can't have peace!" their leader says.
As the order was issued already, Alpha and Arthur will be taken to a sole cell that is heavily guarded. They are lifted by trousers. Unlike the other ones in remand who are unchained. They still have chains on their hands. They have another another one on their legs which will be tied up on the poles. They are just like the eighteen century slaves, who were never untied.They both nod their heads as they pass through the corridor between the cells.
"What happened to our children? We as parents are here waiting for our case then our children are also brought here, who will be guarding our home back there? We are actually the lost generation," murmurs can be heard clearly.
Alpha and Arthur are walked out of the main cell into another cell that is adjacent to the main cells. The cell is made of steel making it extremely cold. They are given shoes and a tiny blanket each. When they enter they find that the cell is already freezing. The tiny carpet on the floor is nothing as their are lots of openings on the walls. It's like a birds cage.Inside their are two suspects who are in custody for being accused of being involved in several terrorist attacks that happened in the country recently. As the court ordered, they are in custody for twenty one days to give time for investigation to be completed. They are lying on a tiny mattress. They appear to be emaciated. Alpha and Arthur imagine of being like that. They all say no, they must do something.

At their home a heated argument has erupted between Uncle and Aunt. Unlike another people who sit far away from each other even throwing plates at each other, this couple is different. They are seated on a small couch in their bedroom which is near a small table that has a computer which controls all the CCTV cameras in the house and the homestead. Why is his home guarded with lots of security? From the mighty big German shepherd dogs led by Tobby, the CCTV cameras, and even night guards at the gates. Do they have a hidden treasure?
"Tell me now, my hubby, you are the father of the family. Which father enjoys to see his children in prison? An able man owning criminals? How's that possible?" Auntie asserts.
"They must pay for the mistakes they made. I can't stand with criminals. Do you know how many crimes done by them have gone unpunished?" he says angrily as he types in words into the computer.
"So you've been hiding the wrongdoings of the boys. Your sons are crooked. That's why I never wanted them to associate with Kacey so much. We would have ended up in a multicrisis. But tell me about the crimes they have committed?" she asks trying to tickle him.
" Did you hear about aliens on the moon? Your sons were there. They are the ones who played games on the scientists. If they were caught what would you answer? " he asks still bitter.
" Stay with their crimes. Keep them for yourself, ok? I even think that you might have someone that you're having as another wife there, " she says as she walks out of the bedroom. As usual she's going to sit alone and start crying.

At Yvonne's home the inspector, who is her mother is still confused with the incident of the day. Her thoughts grow wild as she tries to imagine of Alpha as the destroyer whom they are always told is near to come. Should she call people and tell them the end is near? She puts on her pyjama and goes back to the living room where Yvonne is still sitting there. Her hands ace shaking and her body is shivering despite the warm sorrounding.On seeing goosebumps on her face, the inspector decides to ask her daughter what is going on.
"My daughter, why that unease? Your brother is going to be fine. We shall take Alpha to jail and I will ensure Arthur is free to take care of your child. Don't worry!" she says caressing her.
"Mother, the boys are not easy to catch. I know Arthur well. He has even accepted to be taken to court to deny our child. How do you expect them to take care of me? Do you think Alpha's father will agree to pay the bills despite him warning us? I think we've just missed the target. The first time to see Alpha change his hair color was when I accompanied them to the city. They all tricked me to believe that I was hallucinating and it was Arthur's hair I was seeing. What I don't remember mom. Is how Arthur and I were in bed. I just remember that I woke up feeling dizzy and something unusual. I went to the doctor and she told me I was pregnant and the only man I know is Arthur, " she says as tears fall.
" Don't worry. When the child is born, we shall have a DNA test. If he's the father he shall just be caught. I 'promise, " she says escorting her to her room.The inspector goes to call the guards. Before she dials she receives a call from the police station, Alpha and Arthur are not there.

As the story is told by the suspects who were in the cell with them. Alpha melted the chains, cutting them. They both cut a small hole in the steel walls got out of it and left. They told them that they are not going near the place. They will be going to a far away place and they might never come back. They will come back just after the charges against them is withdrawn. Arthur left them a bangle which they will hand to Kacey, his cousin.
