Chapter 4: I'm Worried about Owen

Maisie is walked in the living room and she spotted an worried redhead woman hug a pillow realized one thing. Claire is worrying about Owen, what if he gets killed by enemy's bullet from Afghanistan or worse coma and passed away.

"Mama Claire, what's wrong?" Said Maisie. "Baby... I think Owen will be fine." Claire lied. Claire didn't want the moment making Maisie cry. She lost her grandpa due to Eli Mills' grave mistake will he smothered Benjamin Lockwood with a pillow. "No. You hugged the pillow, anxiety guilt." She said. "Tell the truth, mama Claire." Maisie said as she is able to broke her heart and so was Claire because she is able to broke her heart too.

"Maisie.... I gotta call from the naval officer... he told me that the good news and bad news. The good news, papa Owen is saving a family of poor Afghans." Claire said as she smiles bittersweetly. "That's good." Maisie said. The girls hugged in the good way but things will change in a sadness way. "The bad news?" Questioned Maisie. The quiet silence is chilled to Claire's bones as she answers the question in a saddest way. "Mais... Owen is.... Owen is... Owen got shot, not just an enemy's bullet but an traitor's knife." Claire said. Maisie is shocked realizing that Owen is gravely hurt by two injuries. "You lie to me. You damn lie to me!!!" Maisie angrily and tears coming out from her eyes as she bolt back to her room, upset. "Maisie, come back." Claire said.

Back to Maisie's room, she is crying to her pillow thinking about Owen is injured by 2 blows but the bullet and stab wound. First, Maisie lost her grandpa and now Owen is attacked by 2 foes. An tailban and the traitor. "Oh, Maisie." Claire said sadly as she slip into the floor, sitting behind Maisie's bathroom door crying knowing Owen is both stabbed by an mysterious traitor and shot by an Taliban.
