Zane any news? Your aunt insisted on hearing the updates from you now. Mom frustrated voice sound from the other end of the call. I inhale deeply and answer, mom please, let's wait for Nathan's return, hopefully any moment from now to evening if nothing goes wrong. Then I heard the exciting voice of aunt Tricia saying, what do you mean if, I quickly cut her and said, please just wait for us to come back home, it's not convenient for us to talk now.
So I end the call, because sure, I won't be able to answer their some many questions. So I and Drake plan on how to go home, some by subway bus, some by fast train while some by plane. But I'm certain that, Nathan won't be so foolish to go to any traveling agency, and the best option is a taxi. So I and Drake decided to take a taxi, although it will take us over ten hours drive, but it's the safest drive for Nathan.
Yes it's true that Drake and I loves and pampered Nathan a lot, we treats him like our little brother, and best of friends, because we attended the same school, the same class, and we all graduated at the same time, even though we're older than Nathan, Drake is a year older than me, and I'm two years older than Nathan. But Nathan is far ahead of us in terms of academical performance, no one competes with Nathan in grades in the entire class, even though he's the youngest in the class. Obviously he is a genius. After graduation from the high school, I and Drake got admitted into Oxford university, England while Nathan was admitted into the special military college in the country.
Drake and I exchange another glance of I understand, then he nod, and said, no wonder the thugs believes that it's a den of tigers. I nod in agreement, this person must have saved Nathan. And he should be at home by now or on his way back home. On realizing all these, we excitedly rushed out. Just as we enter our car and about to start the engine, another call from mom enter, I sigh in relief, at least I have answer to this call right? So I simply said, yes mom.
I must admit that Nathan is fortunate and favored by life opportunities, yes he is the God's favored child. Nathan he is being training to be the head of the GTH in the future, while Drake Jakes is being training to be Nathan's capable assistant, but to me, since I'm bearing the Brown's name, I cannot be the CEO of the Simpson corporation, but Owen Simpson's assistant, Once I obtain my master degree, I will manage the Simpson families' corporation, until my kid brother retire from the army and take over, then I will be his assistant.
But now Owen is still in high school and Will be graduating in two years time and be enrolled into the military college, and if his grades are good, he will be taking directly into the special military college where Nathan is receiving his training now. Otherwise, he will only go to the ordinary military college. And end up graduating with a low ranking in the army. At most being a first Lieutenant.
At 1:00 AM we got to the Huggins Hill Crescent Castle, everywhere was so quiet as everyone is fast asleep. Then the Huggins family butler, Mr. Jakes heard our movement and walk up to us and tell us that Nathan is in the family hall, paying his respect to his father. So we waste no time and walk straight to the hall, as all Late Mr. Gerald Huggins' personal bodyguards, with few of the Huggins family's bodyguards station themselves, and standing upright in two rolls facing each other with a pathway in between them, through to the hall entrance, so the few ones with us also join them and stand.
We sighted Nathan kneeling in front of his dad's picture hung on the wall, I and Drake quietly walk into the hall and join Nathan, on each side, and knee down in front of his dad's picture, for only God knows how long. Before Nathan notice our presents and look at me, then turn and look at Drake too, and speak in a hoarse voice, you must have had a tough day, why don't you go and rest? Drake look at him worriedly and said, Nathan you've had a very difficult time too, so you need to rest as well, so that you can take care of uncle Gerald's funeral in the morning.
Yes butler Jakes, told that the funeral is today by 8:00 AM. I nod and look at Nathan and said, Nathan Drake is right, there's going to be a very long day today so you need to rest, so you can replenish your strength and see uncle off. As we both knelt quietly for some moments, before I heard Nathan take a long sigh and nod, then he quietly stand on his feet, and we follow suit. Then we trail behind him and walk out of the hall and watch Nathan head into his room, while I and Drake were been taken to the visitors rooms by butler Jakes.
