"Pops!" Philip called.  His father didn't respond. He called again, "Pops!" This time Hamilton heard him. "What is it, Philip?"

Philip leads him to his sister, Angie. Hamilton went down on his knee. He was in Philip and Angie's room. Angie was laying on the floor, there was a piece of glass stuck underneath her eye. "What happened?" said their father. 

"I was holding your gun and then I accidentally dropped it then it broke the window," said Angie. 

"Why were you holding my gun?" Hamilton replied. "I was trying to shoot myself." Hamilton looked concerned. "Why-" Angie cut him short. "I was trying to shoot myself because I thought you, mom, and Philip was gone." Hamilton smiled.

"But we're not gone, you're so dumb." Angie then smiled as well. "Haha, I know." Eliza then walked in. "My goodness! What happened?" Philip smiled. "Eliza, clean this up. I have so much work to do." Hamilton then walked into his office.
