"James", he called, "James", he called out again, this time increasing the height of his voice, the young man finally came out of his room, he walked down the stairs, it seemed the sleep wasn't completely off his eyes, "yes dad, you called", "yeah I did, about two minutes ago, look son I don't have all day you know, I have a meeting with corporate investors from Hong Kong 🇭🇰tomorrow morning in New York and I have to settle in by today so... ", " but you have a P.J, anyways,what do i care?,what's your point dad?", "what?", "yeah I asked what's your point?, you were beating around the bush, what's your point? ".

"Right son,so I called you down to inform you that something's making some noise in the chimney and you have to go check it out ", "C'mon dad, do I have to, sides, you're one of the richest dudes in the country, just call some dude already and give him like a thousand bucks... ", "whoa there son, you're the son of a millionaire, yes, but that doesn't qualify you to lazy around and not do petty stuffs,me forsaking the rich guy attitude and living the life of a middle class dude clearly haven't thought you nothing son","well, you're the one killing yourself oldie,I wonder why we don't have a maid or a butler or something and you're a millionaire, weird dude", James murmured, "whatcha say?","nothing, keep talking","hm, anyways,like I would always say, my father... ", "ok old man, I'll do it", "jeez, anyway, I'm running late, make sure you do it or... Please just do it ", "k dad", "bye son", "bye dad"
"Gosh, stickler for time", James said as his father shut the door, leaving.

The airport was only an hour drive, he knew that if his dad should decide to hit the roads by 8:00,he would still meet his flight by 9:45,well punctuality had brought John H. Burgles this far, it was no mean feat being CEO of Burgles Enterprises Inc,he began to construct in all aspects from age 21, average height, muscular, fair skinned with lots of tattoos, a baldie and a neatly shaped beard, not too long,John was a sight to behold, any who cared would literally fall in love with him at first sight, anyways,he was always mistaken as 25 but was way ahead of that.

His darling wife, Jane F. Burgles was La magnifique,one could probably say that a model would be green envious by her side,well,she did always have a another dream...up stage,cat walking,well duty calls,she was average in height, fair, hour glass figured, long dark smooth natural hair, both mentally, physiquely and physically she had everything a man needed, what could she ever hope for in life, she had a loving family, she was the wife of a millionaire,she had an intelligent son and a wonderful job, her husband wasn't cheating on her as far she knew and she was not cheating on him as far as he knew, their family was superb.

James was 15, taller than his dad was at 15,as clearly seen in old photos,not bald, one would say he had the look and body structure of his dad and the brains of his mom, he went to Paddiville High, he was super intelligent, he was in the science class, together with his girlfriend Mary, he had dark spiky hair,dyed red up top, fair skin and good looks, he was like his dad, a Mr ladies' guy, almost all the girls crushed on him even though they knew he was already taken.

He slowly walked up over to the chimney with a big bright torch light, he looked up and let out a yell as something struggled to get out of there, the stuff finally got free and fell, it stood up, looked at James and came closer, it slowly opened his eyes, red and fearsome, James felt his pants getting wet.

The object had a thick green skin, its head was protected by a glass helmet, the helmet had some solid round atomic looking substances floating around inside bumping into each other and splitting, his body was inside an astronaut's suit, well it kinda looked like it, it had a pair of tyres for legs, it rolled closer to James with a stern and emotionless face.

It stretched his hand out to him, indicating he would like to help him up but James left his hand hanging and got by himself got by himself, he noticed the stuff had four digits instead of five,
"You left me hanging, how rude James A. Burgles", "c'mon,I hate that my dad and mom's title and how did you know... ", he could barely complete his sentence when the stuff gave up, "whoa, the stuff ran out of power, does it need charging or what?, C'mon, I don't even know what it is", he looked at it for a while, "fuck this shit man, it ain't even helping ", he kicks it and yelps in pain, "what are you made of?, titanium?".

An idea suddenly creeped into his head,"I'll just keep it in my room and chain him up with uncle Fixweasle's titanium chain he claims to have gotten from some dumb old planet, any way, C'mon stuff, let's move", he tries to carry it but realizes that it's too heavy, "seriously?, this now?, C'mon you old carton of junk, I've got some business I've gotta handle", he tries to carry it again and realizes how unusually light the stuff had become, so light he could lift it with one hand, he lifts it and runs upstairs super quick, he does all he said and freshens up and carries a stack of books, he goes outside after locking every where properly, he finally locks the main door and gets going, as he steps on the side walk, he hears his name, he sighs miserably as he recognizes the voice, he turns to see a tall, slim, chocolate skinned kid waving vigorously at him, "hey James wait up", he begins to run towards him, "oh lord, what's poppin?", James raises his hands and cries out.

"James, what cha doing? ", Henry asked when he got there,
"What cha look like I'm doing? ",
"Walking? ",
"Are your questions answered? ",
"Yeah",
"So we good here? ",
"Yeah",
"Superb", James concluded,he made to walk again.

"So where're we going? ", "oh God, dude, I thought we were good here? ", "yeah until now", "ok, if you must know, I'm going to go see Mary", "why? ", "do I have to make it know always? ", "possibly! ", "I don't really think so ", "oh, I getit, she's your fucking girlfriend ", James clenches his fists for a while,gnashes his teeth,sighs and moves on, he moves a while to realize that he's still being followed, "and where in Zai's universe are you off to?". "C'mon, we're both off to see Mary right?", James looks up and squeezes his face miserably, he painfully steers it back to normal and keeps on moving,he no longer minds being followed.
They soon get to Mary's, James tries to arrange his hair well and nudges Henry's upper hand to do the same, which he reluctantly does.

He presses the doorbell and after a few minutes, the door opens presenting a girl, tall, fair, beautiful,with braided buns, she's on a red crazy jean bum short and a white emojified shirt,tied in a knot up front revealed her bellybutton,she tied her hair with a red bandana up front, looking at her one could easily compare her to Jane in physique, one could safely say that James was indeed lucky to have her,she had a nice character to a very lengthy extent,guess that's why everyone loved her,but James was luckiest of all to have grabbed her, she seemed a lot happy and glad to see him but Henry?,eh... not quite, "hey James", she gives him a tight hug and kisses him a long while,he responds,they soon let go, "oh Henry, you're here too", she says with a lot of unenthusiasm, "please step inside and have a seat", "thanks", "thank you", they both step inside, "so what you have me get you guys? ", "em first of all, I'll like you to have my books and then get us what ever you have available, please not baloney, I beg of you, we hate it ", James said, "who doesn't, will do, I'll be right down, ok",when she was going up, Henry said to James,"always been the lucky one","yeah, she's perfect every where","yeah every where", James looked at him,Henry looked back,his expression said,"dude, don't!",Mary who had heard them looked at Henry disgustedly...
